YES OR No.


We take from Our Parish Calendar, OF
Lawrence, Mass, the following excellent
presentation of an important question:
Which do you think Is for the best interests
of the community?
Don't allow yourself, in considering this
question, to be prejudiced against any class
OF people in making up your mind-minis-
ters, politicians or business men. The ques-
tions Tor each voter to weigh conscientious
ly before casting his vote are these:
Is the granting Of licenses In this city for
the moral good of the community and for the
general good Of the city2
sit an advantage to have saloons open in
f1fty different places In the city where men
may congregate every evening and drink,
and in general debauch themselves to that
extent that their wives and children suffer in
consequence? ...' ...-
Is 1t to the advantage OF the city that, all
day long, women may have convenient places
in which to purchase that which degrades
them and makes them unfit, for the duties OF
wife. mother, sister or daughter
Is it to the advantage OF the city to grant,
for any consideration OF money. this fran
chise?
Isit right to develop the weakness of the
weak?
Are the evils flowing from the use Of in.
toxicating liquors lessened by legalizing the
saloon2 ....
This Is one Of the moral political questions
in which you are bound to let your con-
science speak,

WHISKY AND CRIME.

In recent issue OF the North American
Review was an article by the Hon. j. O.:
Parker (since deceased), who for twenty-five
years was Judge of the Federal Court for the
Indian Territory and the western district of
Arkansas. During this period nearly thou.
sand men stood before Judge Parker charged
with murder. He sent more criminals to tho
gallows and jails than any other judges in
America.
when we 20 to facts," said the Judge,
i've find that during the last six years there
have been 43, ,902 homicides in the United
States. an average Of 1917 per year. In the
same time there have been 723 legal execu-
tions and 1118 lYnchings. These startling
figures show that crime is rapidly increasing
instead Of diminishing. In the last year TO-
500 persons were killed, or at the rate of 875
per month. whereas in 1890 there were only
1890, or less than half as many as In 1895.
This bloody record shows a fearful increase
Of the crime which destroys human life."
Asked as to the part whisky had played
in this awful carnival Of blood, Judge Parker
replied:
isAt least three-fourths of The homicides
committed In this country are attributable,
directly or Indirectly. to the use Of intoxi-
cants. The question is not new one to me.
It has been forced upon my attention almost
continually since I have been upon the
bench. think tho same ratio Of whisky
homicides would hold good in this court.
The number that were influenced indirectly
is hard to estimate. and It Is more than prob
able that in every case OF homicide whisky
has played its part, either on the side OF the
criminal or Of the victims. To my positive
knowledge whisky was the direct cause Of
twenty-five out OF twenty-six murders COM
mitted In one locality during the past twen-
ty-one years, the parties to the quarrels hay
ing been drinking at the time or Immediately
before the tragedies occurred. The remain
ing one was committed by q young boy, and
I am not positive now but that either him,
self or the man he murdered was under the
influence Of liquor at the time. 1t is really
difficult to recall case In which whisky did
not figure one way or another, and the ex-
|amples are prominent in which murderers
were excited Immediately to the commission
of their crime by becoming intoxicated.

Two of Tait's Stories.

The late archbishop of Canterbury
had many good stories to tell. Two are
recalled by his private secretary, Man
deville B. Phillips, in some personal
"reminiscences, which he contributes
to the London Sunday Magazine. One
concerned Archbishop Tait's coachman,
who was very original character. One
day clergyman who called at the pal
ace asked him whether he had still as
much to do as ever. The answer was
sublime. "There's always goodish bit
doing, sir, but it's been a trifle easier
since we took young Mr.. Parry into the
business. The Right Rev. Edward
Parry had recently been appointed bishop
suffragen of Dover.
Another of the archbishop's stories,
also Of a coachman, will be new to
many. A gentleman living in the neigh
borhood of Addington, finding that the
stablemen we're not in the habit Of at
tending church, spoke to his coachman
about it. "They ought to CO." he said.
"That's just what I say myself" was
the rejoinder. II says to them: Look
at me. go. And what harm does it do

Soon after the owner Of the bag woke
