EFFECTS LABOR PROBLEM.
Billion Dollar Drink Bill Would Settle1
Many Differences
Chicago, April 10. "The danger In
the huge national liquor bills reaches'
beyond misery and moral degradation.
Civilization Itself la menaced by the
growing economlo waste,"
With this statement, iJ.D. Thompson
editor of the Northwestern Christian
Advocate, opened a lecture last night
on ."Economlo Aspects of the Liquor
Problem." The Frst Methodist Epis
copal church, In which he spoke, was
well filled. He said the view of the
danger was not the Idea of a prohibi
tionist fanatlo, but of a scientific In
vestigation by Dr, E. R. L. Gould, lec
turer on social economics and statis
tics In John Hopkins University, a
special commissioner of the United
Httttr Department of Labor, who had
Investigated the effects of liquor In Eu
rcpe and this country.
'The most Important, though a yet
scarcely observed, new phase of the
temperance movemAt," he continued,
"la the economic. The economic phase
Is so many sided and appeals to so
many selfish Interests that It attracts
clashes of men who regard the moral
aspect of Intemperance with Indiffer
ence, Business men and worklngmen
will In time come to realise that the
liquor problem concerns them vitally
tnd that the one billion dollars now an
nually spent for drink In this country
would settle many labor problems and
help to ette many more.. Perhaps the
most Important lesson to be Imposed
upon the rising generation Is that their
business and Industrial future will de
tend upon whether they use alco
hol." VANDERIHLT MAY MARRY.

Lieutenant-Governor Lee which was
mailed In Chicago. In further explana
tion of his brother's absence, Mr. Lee

members of the legislature who have
testified before It. My brother Is not
vindictive, and Uiough these have prov
ed themselves : his bitter enemies, he
does not want' to assist in Indicting
them." Lee concluded by Insisting
that his brother does not fear an In
dictment of himself. .
