Increase in Beer Consumption Consistent with Temperance Sentiment, says Anti- Saloon League. The brewers are not alone in the belief that the increase in beer consumption implies greater temper- ance. Even some of the Mark Tapleys of the Anti- Saloon League agree with this sentiment, nolens volens. Said Supt. Williamson of the Anti-Saloon League in Cleveland, according to the Plain-Dealer: There is a steady decrease in the consumption of spirit- uous liquors, such as brandy, whisky and wine, and a tend- ency to drink more malt liquors, such as beer. The decrease is doubtless as marked in the one as is the increase in the other. 61 The Rule of "Not Too Much." Then, after intimating that immigration and the increase in population had something to do with the matter, he said : "Never before has temperance sentiment had such a strong grip on the people. Saloons by dozens are going out of bus- iness daily in various parts of this and other states. Tem- perance legislation is being passed by every state, and every year the sentiment that the liquor traffic must be curtailed or banished is steadily on the increase. I do* not think that there is any cause for worry even if the beer consumption has jumped in the past year."
