Why Do People
Drink Liquor?
8tateavUle Dally.
Why do people drink liquor and
take dope? The ordinary answer Is
that they acquire the habit and
can’t gutt, which Is true In part
But why do they acquire the habit?
IV* largely for lack of sense, accord
ing to the findings of Dr. Walter L.
Treadway, of the United States
public health service, and seeing
W'hat happens to the liquor and drug
addicts Dr. Treadway's explanation
•eems reasonable. Surely If they had
sound sense they wouldn’t want to
treat themselves that way.
One who drinks to excess, says Dr
Treadway, "seeks to Increase th<
Joys of life by producing a tempor
ary Inflation of the personality, oi
to evade the realities of life by be
numbing his consciousness,'’ Bui
seeing that there Is poison In -he
cup. that when the temporary In
flation Is succeeded by deflation ami
the benumbed conscience Is more
acute when the quickening follows
the deadening, you wonder why tlr
habitue would want to keep on pun
ishing himself after one or more, ex
periences, which should convince
him that the last state is worse
titan the first. Dr. Treadway tells
why:
"Mental inferiority, varying front
very low Intelligence to defects In
so-called Higher levels of mental
activity, is a predisposing cause to

Hon. A. L. Quickel,
Of Lincolnton
FOR SUPERIOR
COURT JUDGE
16th DISTRICT
ENDORSED BY LINCOLN COUNTY
The Democrats of Lincoln- County earn
estly urge the Democrats of the Sixteenth
Judicial District to join them in nominating
the Hon. A. L. Quickel, of Lincolnton, as our
candidate for Judge. We have heartily en
dorsed him and have no hesitancy in recom
mending him to our fellow Democrats. He
has been a faithful worker. His experience
has eminently qualified him for this high of
fice.
Of Judicial Temperament
Our candidate would bring to the bench a ripe exper
ience, drawn from more than thirty-three years of active
practice at the bar: an intimate knowledge of the law, acquir
ed by study and close application; an honesty that is inher
ent in his nature; a courage to assert his convictions; and a
disposition, such as is described as a “Judicial Tempera
ment."
Long And Splendid Record Of
Public Service
He has a long record of public service. Early in his ca
reer he served for a few years as chairman of the County
Board of Education. At different times ho has l)een chosen
Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee for his
native county, and served with success. He represented Lin
coln County, in the Legislatures of 1903, 1911, 1921 and again
in 1923, and in two extra sessions. He served as clerk to the
Judiciary Committee of the lower house of Congress for a
period of five years, during the Wilson administration, and
his satisfactory service in this capacity has been attested by
members of that committee. Notwithstanding, the fact that
his official position would have relieved him from the draft,
he claimed none, and held himself subject to the call of his
government for service in the World War, His class was
next to be called for service, the war coming to a close before
the call came.
Judge Should Be Of Best
Available Material.
It behooves our state to select its best available materia]
for ita judges. We do not hesitate to recommend to the othei
counties of this district our candidate, as a man who wil
measure up to the duties and responsibilities of this high of
fice, and fill it with dignity and ability.

chronic alcoholism and drug addic
tion ” That is to say, people who go
1 on that way lack sound sense. The
intelligence varies but even in the
so-called higher levels there are
defects. Dr. Treadway goes on:
Mesides the lntellectualy Inferior
and psychopathic groups of the pop
ulation, there are those who show
constitutional defects of character
which interefere with an adequate
co-ordination of their emotional
life.
These so-called temperamental
traits tend to prevent an individual
from enjoying that satisfaction
which comes with a well-rounded,
j vigorous and healthy personality.
These temperamental persons are
prone to adopt the habitual use of
alcohol or drugs as a means of
bringing them to a level of mental
comfort.
This seems to bear out the theory
that all such addicts are of unsound
mind, are mental defectives. While
| it may be agreed that they lack
[good sense or they wouldn't do the
; way they do, there will be much
! dispute as to whether all of them
are of such unsound mind that they
I are Irresponsible, can't control
(themselves. That is disputed by the
facts. Drug addicts in which tire
habit is well fixed will hardly re
gain control of themselves without
treatment, and In many instances
they are not restored by treatment.
But drinkers, even of the worst var
iety, frequently do recover simply
through self-discipline, or discipline
applied from other sources. There
fore the periodic drinker, who is
highly efficient in sober periods
lasting for months, has little sym
pathy because the evidence indicates
that he can control himself if he
would; that he doesn’t because he
finds satisfaction in his sprees.
So persistent has been the drive j

||N
New .York —Denouncing the 18th
amendment as a menace to youth,
three of New York's most promin
ent women have just enlisted in the
wet's vigorous war on prohibition.
The trio of feminine leaders arc
Magistrate Jean Norris, Dr. Kath
erine Bement Davis, former New
York City commissioner of correc
tion, and Mrs. John S. Sheppard.
Magistrate Norris, who has been
on the New York bench for ten
years, declares that her experience
handling thousands of criminal
cases has convinced her that pro
hibiten enforcement is a disastrous
failure.
“Prohibition did away with the
saloon,” says this woman member of
the New York judiciary, “and for
that all right-thinking people
should be grateful. But it brought
about tiie establishment of the
speakeasy, which is infinitely Worse.
“In New York City today we have
over 30,000 speakeasies. They exist
secretly in dark cellars, in stores
and in homes. They very frequently
connect with rear rooms where all
forms of human depravity are car
ried on.”
Magistrate Norris backed up her
views with statements showing that
the speakeasy, which, unlike the old
time saloon, is not controlled by
the state, has increased vice and the
number of wayward girls.
The amazing number of child
criminal cases that today clog the
calendars of our courts she blamed
on the flouting of drinking laws by
parents and asked that local op
tion be substituted for the present
national law.
Before being appointed a city
magistrate, Jean Norris was known
as one of the most brilliant woman
lawyers on the Eastern Coast. She
has been active in city, club and
civic affairs for years.
Dr. Davis, in her statement at
tacking the dry law, called atten
tion to the fact that until now she
has always been friendly toward pro
hibition. Besides being Correction
commissioner, Dr. Davis spent thir
teen years as superintendent of the
Bedford reformatory for women.
As member of the parole commis
sion for a decade she has become

I known as one of the greatest peno

“I believe very strongly in tem
perance in all things,” said Dr.
Davis. “But I think it can be
brought about by education and
example and not by legislation on
those subjects which concern peo
1 pie’s personal habits.
"In the old days drunkenness
caused murder, indecent assault and
delinquency in the young. Now we
have deaths from poisoned liquor,
bootlegging, racketeering, general
graft and the development of such
center of crime as Chicago. All this
can be laid directly at the door of
prohibition.”
Mrs. Sheppard, speaking before
the Woman’s organization for na
tional prohibition reform at the
Woman's national Republican club,
also violently attacked the dry law.
"Did mothers, before prohibition,
worry about their daughters’ drink
ing?" she asked. "I don’t know any
mothers who did. Saloons didn’t let
girls into them. Speakeasies do and,
what is worse, let them stay there.”
Mrs. Sheppard declared that last
year there, were 1,000.000 arrests
for drunkenn^ps in the country and
that 11,000 eases of alcoholism weie
treated in this city alone. During
1928 one sanitarium, she continued,
had four times as many persons
“taking the «ure” than In 1920, and
many of the patients in the latter
year were women.
Mrs. Sheppard was recently elect
ed vice-chairman of the Woman's
organization for national prohibi
tion reform.
