THE WINTER OF W ASTE
Taking noto of the presence of
nu unusual number of drunken
men on tho streets, the Sacramento
Union says that the number in that
city is far in excess of what has
been in evidence lor months; and
that the explanation is to be found
in the fact that tho harvest season
Is over and the workers aro return
ing to tie city with mouey to spend.
Rather cynically dees the Sacra
mento paper sum up the situation
as a "sign of winter."
In the case of many, perhaps
most of these men, there was tho
summer of industry, and there will
be the winter of idleness and want,
which ought to be designated as the
winter of waste. The transforming
agency from the one to tho other is
the saloou.
This simple statement ot a. coi:u«
tiou that now obtains in the Cali
fornia city is the presentation of
the economic side of the drink ques
tion iu a nutshell. Men work hard
and get their pay. Perhaps the sea
son of work extended over a peri
od of months. With the work fin
isaed there was enough earned to
tide over until some other work
could he found, perhaps through the
winter If work could not be found.
The saloon was the stumbling block
and v. here the tiding over was be
gun in that institution it was soon
ended. The fool and his money
were soon parted. The man who
his worked leaves his hard-earned
wages with the bar-keep; goes
drunk iuto the 6treet and idle
through the winter.
As everybody knows it is not
alone t be worker of seasonal em
ployment who thus feeds his money
to the saloon.. He may come from
steady employment on the farm or
in the lumber woods, and seeking
a few days' diversion in the city
spend his substance at what he
conceives to be a joy-emporium,
eventually to find himself incapa
citated for work, and, as happens
many times, in the jail or hospital.
There is no other place like the sa
loon to help him along this road
toward bumism, jailism and long,
perhaps lasting, enlistment in the
ranks of the down-and-outs.
Who wins?
Obvicusly, not the working man
who spends his money over the Uu\
Nor vet the merchant who would
have sold him shoes and clothes for
that money. Nor the boarding
house keeper, nor the landlord to
whom he would have paid a portion
oi that money for his daily accom
modation. Nor the community in
which he becomes an idler. Nor in
dustry tor which he is incapacitat
ed.
The saloon man gets the money,
but tor everyone else concerned It is
a losing game. That is the case
against the saloon.
OLD-FASHIOXED VIEWS OF XEW
FASHIONED THINGS
Portland Telegram: They were
discussing vocational schools in the
city ot Oakland. For the most part
the gathering was- professionally
educative and th«. talk ran along
academic lines. Ia that gathering
there was a , clear-headed, modest
ycung man who is a printer. The
discussion touched upon the printing
trade, and what the schools might1

essential to .the youth who might
desire to engage in that calling.
Upon that point tho young printer

I lit pointed out that, -jvhile pub
lic school teaching of today had
widened Its field as compared with
i gentration ago, it was undeniably
negligent concerning the more
simple and elemental duties. He

teaching of the old fashion, not
only in methods, but iu results.
And he proceeded to show how this
diliereuco affected the youth trained
to adopt his trade.
