FROM PUBLIC MEN
The People Should Use Common Sense; the
DemagOgue Does Not Possess Ii

James Cardinal Gibbons. who is at
the head Of the Roman Catholic
Church in America, and who was in
attendance at the last meeting Of the
National Hotel Keepers Association
in Washington. d. c.. says:
Il have never been able to convince
myself that what we call total abstin-
,ence is essential to morality. The
moderate and occasional use Of alco-
holic LIQUORS is not to be condemned.
In countries like France and Italy,
where the people as a rule, drink wine,
no serious harm results from the prac-
tice. Even in Rome-even at the
Vatican-wine is not prohibited, and.
as we know. the papal doctors them
selves prescribe It for His Holiness.
Then. again, I long since came to
understand that, putting aside the
point Of principle. it was virtually Inn
possible to enforce a total abstinence
law in a large community OF In q
state. Look at Maine, as an instance
and you will see how true this is. Ths
attempt to enforce such a law mus
consequently lead to one Of the worst
things-inegality or hypocrisy; posi-

Patent Medicine Topers-ProhibitiOn
Dopes.

In a recent lecture at the Harvard
Medical School, Dr. Charles Harring
ton of the Massachusetts State Board
OF Health, informed his audience that
many men who preach and vote prohi-
bition are addicted to the use Of alco-
holics in the form of patent medicines.
They not only use them, but indorse
them as wei, the while they criticise
men who use pure liquors.

New York. and l have seen such in

A JOINTLESS MEETING.
SEWERS ARE PREMATURE

The much-adyertised, joint COuD-
cilmanic- Board OF Trade meeting,
scheduled for last Monday evening,
turned out to be a lop sided, disjOint
ell, uninteresting assemblage. 10
would be unfair to charge the failure
OF the joints to meet to the Mayor
and Councilmen. They were present
In a body. They had courteously
heeded the Board Of Trades FesOlu
tion calling for this conference, and
they set aside a special night for the
pow-wow. But the Board Of Trade
must have been aboard the wrong
boat when the resolution was drawn
petitioning this meeting. Or, was
the Board of Trade up in an air ship
and entirely too far in advance OF the
times in asking that a sewer system
be installed In this town? At any
rate the Councilmen needed the re-
quest for q joint meeting. They
were present, but, alas, for the
Board OF Trade when 1t produces
future suggestions: the promoters OF
the sewer idea were absent. Various
causes and excuses were ascribed for
the vacancies, from illness to atten-
dance at revival meetings.
Ever since the sewer iTea was
launched strong opposition has been
steadily increasing, and this opposi-
ton probably deferred q few mem
bers of the Board of Trade from at
tending the meeting for fear that
they would be judged as favorable
to the system.
AS the meeting had been well.ad
vertised about Is citizens, non-mem-
bers OF the Board Of Trade, were
present. Mayor North set forth The
object OF the meeting and Mr.. Wilbur
Reed recounted the history OF the
movement. The meeting was fiat
failure judged from the point OF its
object and those few citizens who
believe the time ripe for making a
sewer system an issue.
Mayor North is strongly opposed
to the idea on the ground that the
Borough is not in favorable tinan.
cial position to even think Of it. The
Mayor said so in unmistakable Ian
guage, but he added that he thinks
were the Board Of Trade to take up
the question OF good streets and
sidewalks and q
