ONE LIQUOR ORGANS VIEW.


A careful survey Of the whole field justi-
fies us in stating that Mgr. Satolli's views
OF the relation between liquor dealers and
the church are not likely to be carried by
the bishops In the cities Of the country.
We predicted such result in our issue on
July rs. The full dicussion which the
whole matter has received in the press has
been the means Of disclosing to the digni-
taries OF the church great light. Arch
bishops and bishops have publicly de-
elared their intention Of ignoring Mgr.
Satollis admonitions. The result Is q great
triumph for the cause Of personal liberty.

The announcement that in few
days Senator Grady, Of Philadelphia,
will call together his committee to in
vestigate the moral effects of the
Brooks high license law suggests va
riety of thoughts. On this committee
were appointed during the closing
hours of the last session Of the legisla-
ture such men as Senators Walter
Lyon, Grant Herring, G. Wesley
Thomas and Benjamin B. Mitchell;
and they were clothed with uncom-
mon powers. They can call not only
for any official documents which they
think may have bearing upon the
increase or decrease Of pauperism,
crime and insanity arising In this COM
monwealth from the sale of liquor un-
der the Brooks law; but they are also
empowered to summon the superin-
tendents of almshouses, the keepers of
jails, the district attorneys of various
counties and even the judges of license
courts.
1t is possible, and probable, that this
committee will not perform its func-
tions as it should. Investigations by
committees rarely investigate. And
in this direction of all Others it is idle
to expect practical politicians, what
ever their partisan affiliations, to pro-
ceed further than q certain point,
which may be denominated the point
of safety. If all district attorneys and
all judges were put through a rigid
cross-examination under oath as to
their activity and sincerity in enforc-
ing the Brooks law, the result would no
doubt show conclusively, independent
of any differences of opinion as to the
principles of that law, that much of
the objection to it arises rather from
slack enforcement than from structural
weaknesses in the statute itself. We
have even heard it intimated that there
have been officials not many miles dis
tant who would have much to explain
were this inquiry relentlessly and
searchingly forced upon them.
But they rest easy under the circum-
stances, for they doubtless know that
this announced inquiry will never lift
any scalps. The spectacle of "speak
easy" places in successful operation be-
side places that pay over the full Ii
cense fee exacted by law will not be
likely to encounter serious disturbance
by reason of any disclosures before the
Grady probing committee, 1t is hui
initiating to have to make this
prophecy; but it is the cold truth, and
few persons are in ignorance of it.
The Brooks law, enforced, would be
quite different thing from the hap
hazard, now-you-see-it-and-now-you-
don't-see-it monstrosity which in Sec
tions of our glorious commonwealth
passes itself off as the Brooks law, so.
