COMMENTS.


Most of the rumsellers of tho state of
New York voted the Republican ticket.
The leading liquor paper of the state
supported the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Morton, the governor elect, owns
hotel In Washington and receives a
part of the profits of the bar.
DR.. Lyman Abbott is Republican
and voted the Republican ticket
DR.. Lyman Abbott loss than two
years ago declared against prohibition
for the reason that it was impractical
BILE, and believed that each city and
county should settle the liquor question
by local option.
DR.. Lyman Abbott should not now
object If the question of opening the
saloons on Sunday is submitted to the
voters of New York and Kings counties
and Of course carried by the advocates
Of the Sunday saloon.
To vote ticket with rumsellors and
then object to their business is tho height
of inconsistency, to say tho least of it.
By all means, if the Republican lead
ers mean acceptable excise laws" prom
ised in their state platform to mean ac-
ceptable to tho liquor interests, let them
carry out their agreement.

of gospel hymns for 35 cents. Mr.. Nor
gan desires us to say that he will be
pleased to receive poetry for Prohibition
music from any of the workers. There
are hundreds of people who can write
good, rousing Prohibition songs, and
they should do so at once. 1t is very
likely that Mr.. Morgan will find a pub
Usher for his book as soon as it is ready.
Meanwhile let us introduce our songs
into all entertainments, young peoples
societies, etc. People will listen to
song without prejudice, while the same
words or sentiment expressed in prose
would send them home boiling mad.
Get up Prohibition choirs and glee
clubs and let us have campaign of
song such as we never before have seen.

A Fearful Charge,

The Now York Press of Nov. IA says
editorially: with few exceptions the
police bench of the city of New York is
a disgrace to civilization and menace
to human rights. Its members have
chiefly been selected on evidence OF
their utter lack of legal learning and
moral sense and have taken care to
Justify the selection. Proof adduced be-
fore the Lexow committee has shown
police justices in conspiracy with brig
ands in uniform and out Of uniform for
the plumber of the innocent and the ig-
norant, and it is unnecessary to recall
the testimony proving even fouler guilt
on the part of one Of these judicial
creatures of Tammany Hall"

THE REFORM" WAVE
SIGNIFICANT UTTERANCES OF THE
LIQUOR INTERESTS.

What Promises Have the Republican
Leaders Made to the Rumsellers?-Here
Arc Some Authoritative Statements.
tFrom the Now York Voice, Nov. 81
PASTE THIS IN YOUR HAT
If Voice readers know of any moss
back Republicans who still insist that
their party is opposed to tho saloon. Just
call their attention to tho following
from special edition of the Now York
Wine and Spirit Gazette issued Nov. Q,
just after The Voice of last week went
to press. The Wine and Spirit Gazette
Of Nov. 2 said:
1--WE HAVE ASSURANCE OF THE
MOST POSITIVE NATURE THAT
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, IF IN
TRUSTED WITH POWER THIS
YEAR, WILL SOLVE THE vEXED
LIQUOR PROBLEM AND REMOVE
THE LIQUOR ISSUE FROM FUR
THEIR POLITICAL DISCUSSION.
THE QUESTION OF THE SALE OF
LIQUOR ON SUNDAY IS TO BE
SUBMITTED TO A DIRECT VOTE
OF THE PEOPLE IN THE LARGER
CITIES OF THE STATE, AND THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL ABIDE
BY THE DECISION AND CARRY
OUT IN ITS LEGISLATION THE
WILL OF THE PEOPLE ON THAT
POINT. THAT is ALL THE FRIENDS
OF PERSONAL LIBERTY CAN
JUSTLY DEMAND"
This utterance was printed in large
black type on the first page Of The Wine
and Spirit Gazette under the heading
Of "'The Sunday ISSUE" 1t will thus be
seen that the promise to break down
the Sunday prohibition in our excise
law was a part of the bid of Mr.. Nor
toms campaign managers for the saloon
vote.
Christian citizens who voted for a
Republican governor and Republican
legislators last Tuesday ON the plea of
good government and restriction Of the
liquor traffic, paste this utteranoe of
The Wine and Spirit Gazette in your
hats. You may have cause to remem-
Der it when the next legislature meets
at Albany. Remember also that The
Voice warned you of this Republican
plan to break down the Sunday prohibi-
ton law in time for you to protest
against it by casting Prohibition bal

We know that the slums are described
as portions or streets of large cities
where poverty, squalor, crime and uu-
clean things abound; we have long
known that there are more saloons in
proportion to the population in the
slums than in other parts of large cities,
but it has never before been 80 clearly
demonstrated that the saloon is directly
responsible for the poverty, filth and
suffering in the slums, as this report
shows it to be. If the people earn -
much money as sober and respectable
laborers, if they have as little sickness
and more help from the community at
large, there can be but one reason Tor
their depravity and helplessnesa. Their
earnings all go to the saloon keeper ex-

KEEPING

Alcohol, taken as beverage. Is al
ways injurious in proportion to the
quantity taken and the frequency OF its
use. Its use is therefore not only inexpe-

morally wrong, both as it endangers
health and exposes to the insidious do
minion of deadly habit and counte-
nances its production and use with all
Its sweeping desolations and woes. -

DIR. ABBOTT ON SUNDAY SALOONS.

Dh. ABDUL ON cONOAA oAL0ONc.
The Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott Of Plym-
outh church, Brooklyn, Is opposed to
Mayor schieren's policy of permitting
saloons to be open on Sundays and says
90 in the following words:
''I do not believe that defined hours
for opening ON Sunday would be OBJ
served in New York and Brooklyn any
more than the defined hours are observ-
ed now. The laws are enforced In Lon
don and disregarded In New York, and
they would not be any better observed in
New York by allowing the saloon to be
open additional hours. Second, the H.
cense system assumes that an excise
board can be so organised as to deter
mine how many saloons may legitimste-
y BE- allowed in : given locality and
