A Catholic View.

Right Rev. Mgr. Thos. J Conaty,
rector of the Catholic University OF
America, and by reason ofhi position
the premier OF educationalists of the
Catholic Church of America. holds
peculiar views on the temperance
question. He does not believe in stat
utory prohibition at all.
"There is no wrong in one man taking
a glass of beer or any stimulant, il he
wants it," says Mgr. COnaty. "It is not
the use OF liquor. but its abuse that is
harmful. do not believe thar laws any
more stringent than public sentiment
demands can be enforced and there is
no use IN passing laws and not enforcing
them. Public sentiment doeslnot seem
10 demand the entire closing of saloons
and drinking places. 10 fact. it seem
20 demand that they be allowed to run,
under the proper restrictions believe
in license laws, properly enforced.
'.You cannot pass laws to make man
be better than he wants to be. So long
as he uses liquor moderately and does
not interfere with the public peace or the
rights OF others, any law which inteiferes
with him is an infringement on his
personal liberty But when he abuses
the stuff and interieres with others, y ou
can touch him by law
