CATHOLICS
,,HEAR ABOUT
IK:L|QyOR BILL.
Rev. B. 7. O'ConneIl Preached
Eloquent Sermon on the Sub
jeCt in ST. May's Church.
The BILL WAS READ.
Rev. J. |. Lancaster Had Not Re-
Ceived Bishops Letter No
Mention at ST. Peters.

Rev. B. T. O'Connell, pastor of st.
Mary's Roman Catholic church, call
ed the attention of the members of
yesterday morning, to the bill now
before the legislature to regulate the
liquor traffic and at the last mass the
pastor read the letter received from
Bishop James A. McFaul, which was
printed in the NEWS. He also read
the proposed new law and preached
an able sermon on the subject.
After reading the bishops letter
and the bills, Father O'Connell urged
every member of the congregation to
send in a request to the representa-
tive in the legislature from this dis
trict asking him to stand by them in
this matter.
Every one knows that the Catho-
lie church is not opposed 10 the sale
of liquor" said the priest, for many
a good, honest man is in that line of
business and we are certain that
these men will help us, but it is the
other class of saloonkeepers whom
we have to look out for and the soon
er such a man is out of business the
better it Will be for everyone. Faith
er O'Connell explained the great need
of doing something and doing it at
once. He told the congregation that
the new law would not make such a
great change in the present law, but
that it was for three things principal
ly: First, that no curtains, colored
glass or Instructions be in the front
windows to shut off the view; second,
and The principal thing, that all sa-
looms should have but one entrance
and that this should be at the front
door.
With the. only y@entrance through
the front door and no side or back
doors, and only one room, the little
back room that has caused so much
trouble to our young men and women
would be done away with" said Fa-
ther O,Conpell. The pastor spoke of
the many Young girls and men who
went to these saloons because of the
back room and they knew that Mr..
So-and-So kept the place and he was
great friend of the young peoples
fathers and of course he would not do
anything that was not right.
''At first the young people would
take only some soft drink" continued
the priest, like soda or mineral wat
er, but after time they would take
something stronger, and then months
afterwards when they found out that
they had gone down hill SO fast they
felt ashamed of themselves, but found
out it twas too late"
The third section is to do away
with the selling of liquor in dance
halls.
Father O'Connell urged the people
to do the right thing and it is expect
ed that the representative from this
district will be kept busy opening
letters.
Not Yet Received Letter.
Rev. j. l.. Lancaster had not re-
ceived copy of the letter sent out
by the bishops anent the liquor bills
pending in the legislature and he
therefore did not refer to the subject
at either of the services in st. Peters S
