LOCOMOTOR ATANIi.
with Some Considerations on Christian
Science and Buddhism.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: In reply
to your correspondent F. s. c., NJ. D.,"I
thought I made IL clear that I had merely
studied the cures OF Christian Science as an
inquirer after truth and nothing more. I
gave the name and address Of the gentleman
who believes that he has been thoroughly
cured Of locomotor ataxia, and any physician
who cares to study the question can call upon
him. So far from being "A period OF Quies-
cence." this gentleman has not had a return
of the disease for a very long period. He ia
certainly in a perfect state of health now.
/ am afraid that medical practitioners too
frequently ignore the mental conditions Of
their patients. The Christian Scientist will
tell you that he gets rid Of disease by getting
rid OF sin, and he quotes such texts as these
in support Of his principle: Purifying your
heart by faith, Purge out the old leaven":
'",Ye have purified your souls" He that hath
his hope puriieth himself; "Sanctiiieth 10
the purifying OF the flesh, " and many. other
such texts of Scripture. giving them a literal
meaning and applying them to the body az
Among the ~Buddhists we have something
Of he kind in "karma," This Buddhist dogma,
which IL the most subtle doctrine of Buddh-
ism, is regarded as an incomprehensibls
mystery. Some have. defined IL as fate,
others as resignation. but 1t seems to me TO
the situation" In fact, IL is that Quietness,
the peace which passeth all understands
ing" which In so essential a feature in true
Christianity and yet 50 absolutely ignored in
the Christian life. I think Christian Science
is demonstrating that we have not given
sufficient study to the occult powers Of the
Christian religion. We nave assumed that
Christ was a kind Of Luther. a Calvin or a
George Whitfield. and although the ministry
OF Jesus was accompanied by the gifts Of
healing we have never expected that Il would
be so in modern times. Now there are pe0-
pie Of all forms of Christian belief who are
irving to revive these occult powers, and we
either ignore or ridicule them.

that the object sought to be attained
IN this matter is to place the Council
if it grants this license, in such a posi-
ton that it cannot consistently refuse
to grant the application made By any
salOOnkeeper for a restaurant license,
thereby rendering it impossible for the
police co enforce the Sunday closing or
dinance.
5-License to conduct a restaurant in
rooms which open directly into saloons
should only be granted upon the condi-
tiOn that such places close on Sunday.
6-Before granting this license, the
Council should adopt some general rule
governing such matters: otherwise,
this same trouble will arise whenever
application is made for a license of
this kind.
THE conditions sought to be i'm
posed upon Mr. Brannan are fair and
reasonable, and would work no hard
ship upon him; at the very worst. he
will be in the same position as every
other restaurant keeper whose place
opens into saloon. He has no right
to expect to be made an exception of,
and if he is not willing to be placed
upon an equality with others in the
same business, he is not entitled to IL

MAYOR O'BRIEN'S VETO.

We give below Mayor O'Brien's veto
in full to the ordinance granting Mr..
Sammie Brann0n license to run res
taurant adjoining a saloon. The veto
was filed with City Clerk Adair Satur-
day and will be acted on by the Council
Thursday evening. 1t is as follows:
To the Board of Council of the City of
Paris.
Gentlemen: ] herewith submit my
reasons for vetoing the resolution grant
ing restaurant license to Barney Bran
nan:
While the Sunday closing law can
be enforced by requiring saloons and
restaurants in rooms which open direct
ly into saloons to be closed, it will be
impossible to prevent the sale of whisky
on Sunday if licenses are issued to con-
duct restaurants in the same room or
in rooms, the doors of which open di-
rectly into saloons, for the reason that
such doors cannot be seen by the police
or the public and consequently can be
used at any time with little likelihood
of discovery.
2-If this license is granted, you can
not consistently refuse to grant the
same sort of license to any person,
similarly situated, who applies for it
as there are numerous places of this
description in Paris which will want
license, you will necessarily give to
the proprietors of them the means and
the opportunity to break the law to
will, should they SO desire.
3-The granting of such licenses will
place at disadvantage those saloon
keepers who obey the law or else place
them in a questionable position in the
eyes of the public by forcing them, in
order to retain their own trade, to make
application for license to conduct a res
taurant in connection with their
J saloons.
Al am thoroughly convinced that
the effort to obtain license for this
place, without requiring the doors
opening from it into the saloon to be
closed is being made for the purpose OF
hampering my efforts to close the sal
oons on Sunday. Taken in connection
with the application, some weeks ago.
