Highways and Automobiles
By Editor
THE startling fact has been figured out that twenty Lincoln highways from ocean to ocean could be built with the money that is expended annually in this country for drink, and that after building these twenty expensive transcontinental roads, there would be still left enough from this annual drink bill to purchase 800,000 automobiles at the average price of $1,000 each. It is when we make comparisons of this kind that we begin to realize what drink is costing annually in dollars, to say nothing of what it costs in human depravity, suffering, and loss of life. We have devoted one whole issue of this journal to the subject of temperance, as a part of our contribution to the prohibition campaign that is on in so many states. This special issue is packed full of not only interesting but very valuable matter, of which the facts presented above, in regard to highways and automobiles, are a sample. The price is five cents a copy; five to thirty copies, three cents each; forty or more copies, two and one half cents each. Address Pacific Press, Mountain View, California.
