Experiment Was Tried
In Temperance Reform
By Russian Autocracy
THE Russian Provisional Gov-
ernmeot is about to issue a
decree transferring to the
Zemstvoa County Ceuactle
the "Guardianships of Public Sobrie-
ty;'. and It is expected that lnaUtu-
tloas will be abollened or radically
reformed. Thereby perishes perhaps
the only soctal reform experiment In
which autocratic Russia calmed to
lead the world.
The Sobriety Guardianships are a
creation of the late Count Serglus
Witte, Ruada's daring Minister of
Finance. When Witte to 18►5 ex-
propriated to the State without com-
pensation all private vodka saloons,
and proclaimed the State to be sole
refiner, rectifier, and retail seller of
spirits, he declared that his ultimate
elm was to reduce the consumption
of vodka. He reasoned that the
State, if it lost revenue through de-
cline of consumption, would gain
revenue from otber sources owing to
the increase In the poeulaUon's
economic productiveness.
In order to diminish Intemperance,
the State, he declared, must proslde
raUonal amusements and recreations
for tbe workman and peasant. This
was all Use more necessary because
the State liquor monopoly law for-
bade drinking in saloons and there-
by destroyed the workingman's only
nodal club. The State, which even
early In the monopoly's history was
/laking a net profit of /250,000,000
(In additloo to excise duty), was to
swbeidize the new amusements and
recreations.
On these lines Count Witte created
the guardianships of Public Sobriety
and gave them such subsidies as
State financial exigencies allowed.
Every provinceh►d a;8upreme guard-

Petrograd. Moat w..and a few other
large cities had i ndent guard-
ianships. The gua tanehlpa organ-
ised people's Cheat Feeding rooms,
concerts, lectures. and `holiday fetes,
and later .arranged for a -temper-
fume" railroad train la N•bich in dif-
ferent districts lectures against
drink were delivered and diagrams
and other exhibits to show the hy-
gienic and social evils or drlk were
displayed. The president pf the
guardianships waa Emperor ache-
las' kinsman, Prince Peter of Olden; -
bang.
No State except Russia ever eon -
calved such a comprehensive Bebe it
temperance propaganda. But t
geardianships had only a quallfi
stlecess. In accord with the, old
buresocratlt! system, the members
were 'recruited mainly from otbcial
eircles,.backed by the church and the
army. Independent social workers
and experts, especially those sal lib-
eral political Ideas, were excluded. At i
the same time, the monopoly tailed
from every atxfndpolnt except that of
State finance. Count Witte had .
passed a local option law giving the
peasant commun the right t to pesi-
I
Uo In favor of
n the closing or the
local State drink saloon, but in prac-
tice the State ignored the petition.
Though hampered by this, the
guardianships did some g work.
They created many scores 08 people's
theatres, established libraries, dis-
seminated anti -drink literature, and
organised thousands of coocerta and
lectures. But Russian society held
suspiciously aloof and demanded re-
form of tbe guardianships on dente -1

Toronto Man Gains Six Pounds- Now

If there le a mad in Toronto y4ho

Hamilton, who resides at 475 Cbulvla
stases, and 1. employed ae tune -maker
by the Copeland-Chattereon (Jo ., 18013
Queen street. Mr. Hamilton has lived
iu Totouto eighteen years and is well
koowu.
"Five years ago I had a severe at-
tack of pre• toxemia," raid Mr. Hamil-
ton last Fridey in conversation with
the Coulee aepreseotative, "which de-
veloped into • genera[ run-down con-
dition, and l have not been like myself

if 1 did 1 couldn't eat • thing. The
little I managed to eat did more harm
than good rud soured on my stomach,
caueiug a stuffed -up, uncomfortable
feeling. 1 had pains in sty stomach
and rides and often had dizzy spent,.
I got up of mornings, feeling about
half dead and dreaded to go to work
and all day 1 felt drowey and sleepy.
Often I felt so weak and played out 1
just had to lay down my tools and
quit work. Ye., sir, 1 went five long
years without enjoying a well day.
and you can imagine bow blue and
despondent L was. This is the very
shape I was in when I read in one of
the 1'oroato papers' the statement of a
wan who described his trouble Met
like mine. He said he had been re-
lieved by Taoist: and I lost no time to
getting a trctttle.
"It was shopt the best move 1 ever
wade iu my life, for 1 now feel like 1
have taken s new lease on life. 1 have
the finest appetite you ever taw and

THE YOUNG FARMER l prize should not be the whole aim.
AND THE FAIR The educe, /oust value ought to be se n-
eidered. Look over the home it .C111and see it there isnot something that
could be shown, 1t nese be a team of
horses, a colt or the driver, or possibly
some of the cattle, sheep or bogs could
he put in condition and trained in
readiness for the show season. Mayhe
you could make seems) entries in the
poultry department. Think it over
and decide what you will show in
time to permit of training and fitting.
Dont do se some have done in the
past -just take the a Is because
they happen to know that certain
classes have very few entl les and they
will have a chance of' making a little
money. He a sport ; fit your stock
and make W.:wosrthy of you and of the
faro[. It you fail to get near the tip
you will at. beset feel that you have
done your best. Be a good loser and
remember that it is more honor to
stand fifth or sixth in* class of eight
or ten, than to get the red ribbon with-
out competition.
7t ii the duty of every young man
if he liarteasonabl1good od stock on the
place to fit it for the local fair, which
requires the support of all stockmen
in the neighborhood to make it a
success. Without live stock moat
exhibitions would fall Hat. (live the
neighbors an opportunity to see what
Ton can produce on the old faun and 1
by rea'.on of coming in close touch I
with other exhibitor) you will no I
doubt pick up information that will!
aid ynu in fin thee preparing your herd 1
for shows. There is no reason why 1
two or three young lien should drive
their stock from taie to fair, "copping'
off" the greater portion of the prize
money. In every community there
are animals that would compete favor-
ably with tbe best usually brought out
if they were given a little better fit-
ting and training. The writer knows'
of local faire that have been greatly
improved by the young men helping
in the management and bringing out
the best stock they had on the place'.
While they were not very successful
the-flret year in the show ring they
profited by their experience and carte
back the following year, end wereahle
to gel to the top to several classes.
This bad the effect of waking up the
old exhibitors, who were need to
having things their own way, and en-
couraged other young men to make
ent►ieo, Stronger competition is nut
only good for the fair, but it bar is

live stock kept in the 4com tty.

I'he disastrous fire at the Beech-

of sounding the alarm. For some
considerable time the water pressure
amounted to about nothing and the
firemen were not ands to reach the
root of the elevator, mind they did ex-
ceedingly well to ..ave it. Surely the
council has had enough examples to
show how urgent the need is for bet-
ter fire protection. The citizens of
Uoderich are beginning to realize that
the council is neglecting one of its
most important duties, judging by
some remarks that were paseed at the
fire. Someone asked where was the
engine, to which several replied, "Ob,
that's only scrap now."'

1 noticed your contrniporary, The
Star, printed an editorial lost week
dealing with tbe suggestion wade
in this column a few weeks since,
viz., the erection of s monument to
our town soldiers who Neve fallen in
the war. We have beard quite a few
discussions on the matter, and almost
everyone it in sympathy with the
suggestion, but the general opining is
that it should be left over until leiter•
the wat. Personally 1 am not in favor
of leaving over till tomorrow what can
be done today. Now is the tittle to
get the tbieg started. Let one of the
first .tees be the opening of a sub-
scription list, for the money will t eke
• long time to collect. After the war
people will have lost their patriotic

will fed. away and the citizens of
Ooderich will have done nothing to
honor the memory of her brave sol-
dier sons. One reason advanced 'for
holding the idea track until after the
war is that subscriptions to patriotic
work, which is much more pressing at
the present time, would suffer. Well,
we t not let, our energies in that
direct.on lag, bat 1 do not think that
we are giving so much to patriotic
w, rk that we could not afford t i give
something toward a monument of this
description. We would welcome
opinions of reader& of The Signal on
