Postmaster General Wanamaker
made his first public utterance Sun
day on the question of high license
and prohibition. He declared IN
favor Of the Constitutional Amend
ment, and exhorted the eight hun
dred persons who listened to his
words 10 work, pray and vote for 1t.
Mr.. WaEamaker said he had been
requested TO talk of temperance. He
read portion of the fifteenth
chapter of Ephesians, beginning with
the verse, BE not drunk with wine. 4"
He said:
What Is the Christian idea OF
right 1t Is important that We get
the right thought, because then we
viii do right and lead happy life.
The Christian idea Is that We care
fully guard our department. We
should be temperate in all things
that we do. The Bible says that he
who does not DO this is fool. Now,
a man who calls you a fool is not
minded much, but when GUd writes
us down as fools it is very serious
thing. We should be temperate IN
everything. That means the use of
tobacco and opium; it includes
profanity and anger and imPurity Of
life We are So to talk that We shall
build each other ur.
Mr.. Wanamaker then referred to
the wreck of the American men of
war at Samoa and spoke Of the broken
hearted wives and children who We're
waiting for the return of their hus-
bands and fathers, who bad been
dashed to pieces on the rocks He
continued:

much controlled by it as IL he was an

WHAT'S the reason you won't stand

you like glass of beer. You say Il
want to be free to take an occasional
drink if l feel ike it." What inhu-
ence keeps you from voting for the
amendment Isn't it the influence
of the glass of beer There are
thousands of men in this city who do
not get drunk They say, 1--WE have
the night to drink it if we want to

The Commissioners of Accounts have more
than once of late given excellent reasons why
they should be generously supported in their
work. The market investigation and In par
ticuar the dock investigation, are fresh in the
public mind and whatever politics may have
been involved in these inquiries, the results
abundantly prove the value of the Commission
ers' work. Therefore we do not believe Con-
troller Myers will receive much sympathy IN
his attempt to limit the Appropriation Tor these
Commissioners lie was able to mention only
a single instance in which he believed they had
exceeded their authority, and that one is OF
doubtful value The Commissioners OF Ac-
counts are capable of rendering the city val
liable service, and money enough should be
provided so that they can pursue their inquiries
in thorough manner. At the same time 1t IS
incumbent on the Mayor under whose personal
direction their work is carried on. to make
sure that they are not used as a political lever
in behalf of Tammany Hall.
