Strange Reasoning.

EDITOR WoMAN's CHRONICLE: In a recent is
sue of the Gazette is the following:
''The Prohibitionists in national convention in
Indianapolis declared (resolutioh ~: =
" 'For the immediate abolition of the internal
revenue system (tax on whisky and ~tobacco),
whereby our national government is deriving sup
port from our greatest national vice.
sin the interest of morality and sobriety they
demand that by removal of all taxation whisky
shall be made free and cheap, so that everybody
can get it at reduced rates. The present tax of
80 cents a gallon is restraint. But we learn from
the national prohibition platform, that as by its
collection 'our national government is deriving
support from our greatest national vice. this vice
can be decreased by abolishing the tax, and
doubling, trebling, and even quadrupllng the con-
sumption of Intoxicating fluids
Will the reader please swallow this cautiously;
there may be bones in it.
1. 1t assumes that the removal of the govern
ment tax on whisky will so cheaper it as to double
or treble, or even quadruple its sale. Is there any
sense in this position? If so, how much? Let
us look at the facts in the case, for theories are
good only as they have feet to stand upon. Whis-
ky is ST. 10 per gallon. The government tax is 80
cents. Remove the tax, and at first it looks as
though whisky might be very much cheaper, and
its sale very much increased; but is it well to jump
at conclusions, or to let anybody else jump for
you? We hear much nowadays about 'calm and
patient counsel" let us apply it universally. A
gallon of whisky, taxed or untaxed, will make
about 100 drinks. At $1.10 per gallon the cost
per drink is but a fraction over one cent. Remove
the 80 per cent tax and how much do you cheaper
it per drink? Less than one cent. How much
more or less of 1T are the boys going to drink when
you cheaper it per glass nine-tenths of a cent?
With such ~fal1acies as these do political leaders seek
to deceive and mislead the people. That this tax of
80 cents a gallon is a restraint upon the traffic, is
the cheapest kind of folly with which a people was
ever deluded. Those who drink will drink at any
price, and the matter of a cent or two per glass,
either way, will not not weigh for q moment.
2. 1t assumes-in fact, asserts-that Sin the
interests of morality and sobriety, they (the Pro-
hibitionists) demand that by removal of all taxa
ton, whisky shall be made free and cheap, so that
everybody can get it at reduced rates" Was
there ever a grosser Misrepresentation? Where is
there anything that, honestly interpreted, asks for
cheap whisky, within the reach of all? The plat

considered desirable proof of mental greatness.
II there is any doubt at present about this matter
Of brain equality, the future will reveal this fact,
namely: that sex does not form the dividing line
between inferior and superior brain power, any
more than it does between morality and immoral
lily. These ~fallacies will be recognized as such in
due time, and the future will prove how remedi-
able they are.

FATHER Hogan, Of Trenton, N. j., at the Cath
Ole temperance meeting denounced the sentiments
of Father Elliott, and took up for the saloon
keepers. He said as long as liquor was sold ac-
cording to Catholic teaching, saloonkeepers should
not be denounced. How, pray, could it be sold
according to church teaching? Father Shelby, Of
Pittsburg, Penn. offered a vote of thanks to Father
Elliott, and Rev. James NJ. Cleary, of Wisconsin,
said he wished to be put on record as agreeing with
Father Elliott. The sympathy of the convention
was with Father Elliott, and Father Hogan's re-
marks created a sensation and signs of disapproval.
When the strong power of the Catholic church is
directed against intemperance and liquor selling, a
vast amount of evil will be suppressed.

MISS FRANCES WILLARD and Mrs. May Wright
Sewell, president and corresponding secretary of
the Woman's National Council of the United
States, propose to make an effort toward organic
ing in each city a society made up of the presi-
dents of societies of women, for the purpose of
entering unitedly upon such lines of work as all
good women are interested in. In all charitable
work concerted action would prove of inestimable
value, and knowledge of what Others are doing in
the same line of work would be of greatest assist
ance. Even the servant question, which so sorely
needs to be dealt with, would come in for its share
of attention, and in every direction material aid
could be obtained through such measures as Miss
Willard proposes. Little Rock, with its many
women's benevolent associations, would certainly
