Bishop Vail has addressed letter to
the Wichita dean, expressing his regret
at his course in discussing the question
of selling liquor IN Kansas, and particu-
larly in Topeka. The good bishop
closed his letter thus: "The state of
my health entirely forbids my entering
into a newspaper controversy. But as a
public religious official, I desire to be
correctly understood. and as my name
has been brought into this matter, wish
to state, If I have any influence upon
my fellow citizens, that my own per
sonal Judgment and my vote are thor
oughly in accord with the action taken
by our own state in the constitutional
amendment prohibiting the sale Of intoz-
icsting liquors in the open saloons, and
in full sympathy with the statutes en-
forcing that amendment, and that my
own observation in Topeka, and extern
sively elsewhere in the state, confirms
me now and more in the conviction that
the principle Of prohibition Is wise and
Just, and wherever enforced is largely
diminishing the extent and evils OF that
sin Of intemPerance within the border
Of our state.''
