strongly or so practically to the hostess
OF moderate means as does the weekend
house party.
Each year shows marked increase in
the number of families without children

Jesus Christ did not know, and among
these is that he did rot know who

stands closely related to the Cosmic

of God in his moral attributes. We can

we know Him as God Of love and the

ed the Chamber Of Commerce as sec

and his faithful attention 10 duty and
the interest always shown by him in

swATs THE JEROME BILL.
Proposed Legislation Not Needed Nor
Wanted, Says Temperance Leader.

New York, March 2.-The Rev. Har-
vey Wood, field secretary of the Ma
tional Temperance society, in an ad-
dress in which he discusses what is
called the Jerome bill to legalize the
Sunday opening of saloons, said in
part:
THE passage of this bill would be
a step backward in our national prog
ress. I spent four months inthe Brit
ish isles last year and must say that
the laws are enforced there. And let
me tell you that in ireland, Scotland
and Wales, the law does not permit
the opening Of saloons on the Lords
day and they are not open. In Eng
land the hours that they are required
to be- closed they are closed. And The
osiore Roosevelt declares that 1t is not
impossible to enforce the excise law in
this city. He has told DR.. Funk in a
letter which have seen, while he was
president of the police board, that he
did not find IT impossible and that
the law was enforced.
"But at 5 o'clock In the afternoon
when saloons are opened again In Lon
don, there Is a steady stream Of people
going into them. / saw more drunken
women IN England IN three months
than / have seen In America In 80
years. God help England, when the
mothers drink. must also say that
there has been fearful increase of
drinking among women in this coun-
try In recent years.
II say as born Englishman, that
IL a man crosses here to live he ought
to become an American. IL the laws
here don't suit him. why doesn't he go
back?"
Mr.. Wood denied that there was any
public demand for the proposed iegisla-
tion. He said that 40 percent Of the
Protestant clergymen in the city are
foreign born, yet not 5 percent favor
Sunday opening. and all Of the Cath
olic clergy are against It, He favors
absolute prohibition at all times, es-
pecially on Sunday.
