Roosevelt Has Universe BY The
Tail"

In a discourse before the Secular
League of Washington City, the other
night, DR.. William A. Croffutt spoke
of the visit of New York clergymen
20 the White House recently and of
their informing the President Of the
decline of religion and the rise of athe-
ism in that city, and enlisting his aid.
DR. Croffutt stated he was glad the
people of New York were getting rid
of some of their radical ideas, but he
said that it was probably due to the fall
ing off of the church revenues that
bothered the reverend gentlemen more
than the salvation of souls.
That's about the best thing they
could do to call on the President, said
Dr. Croffutt. 1.-The man in the White
House, who's got the universe by the
tail, can do anything for the benefit Of
the human race if it can be accomplish
ed by the power of his lungs. | am
glad the President has a thousand
times more confidence IN himself than
be has in the Almighty, and think
we may be duly grateful that we have
a man who can accomplish anything
with frown or proclamation. The
President, | have no doubt Will issue a
special message on the subject. and
remedy the trouble and re-estabiisn re-
Iipion in New York to its proper
place. ~

How To Stop 1t.

The Anti-Saloon League points with
pride to more than So pledges of
total abstinence obtained in Iowa dur
ing the past year. That, after all
would seem to be the most practicable
and the most satisfactory manner of
proceeding to- wipe out the liquor
traffic. If nobody buys. there will De
nobody to sell. If the vast majority
of the people of Iowa ever become
members of that league or give the
league their signatures, the great
problem will have been solved without
invoking the aid of any state marshals
or other officials, without calling into
assistance courts and Legislatures,
without arousing opposition and with
out calling hard names or growing
warm under the collar. And after all,
if the evil is ever wiped out, the first
requisite is that the great majority
abstain from the use of liquors before
they seek to enforce law, which they
WOuIu COutJCl OCICIO W OOCy WllliC
they evade it.
There would not be a saloon, a
brewery, wholesale LIQUOR house,
booze drug store or a bootlegger in
Iowa if there were not lively demand
for the goods dispensed at these places.
And in the discussion of this problem
it should be borne in mind that the pei
son who wants to drink, invariably
hunts up the man who has the stuff for
sale. The citizens may be bothered by
canvassers for all other good or bad
things, but when he wants poison of
this sort, he goes out and hunts for it.
And if there were none or but very
few TO hunt for it, there would he no
one who would bother with handling
the stuff and the search would be in
vain. Just stop the demand and the
supply will vanish. Burlington, Iowa.

BOYS Badly Disappointed.

Two small boys appeared at the gates
of the Eastern K entucky Asylum for
the insane at Lexington late Wednes-
day evening, and stated that they had
come to visit their father, who was an
inmate of the asylum. They gave
their names as Willie and Frank Rho
den, twelve and fifteen years old. of
Euclid, Greenup county, and said that
their fathers name was E. 6. RhOden,
and that he had been sent to the asy-
lum several years ago. An examina-
ton of the hooks, however, revealed
that E. 5. Rhoden had escaped in
April, 1905, and had never been captur-
ed He had previously been confined in
the asylum, and as soon as he escaped
the officials notified his wife. In re-
Spouse, she wrote that the fugitive
had probably gone TO Tennessee,
where he had relatives.
The boys were much distressed when
they found that their father had. gone
from the asylum, and said their moth
er'had told them nothing of his having
escaped. They said they had longed to
see their father ever since he had gone
from home, and that finally the synpa-
thetic people IN the little town Of Eu-
cid had raised the money for them to
pay their railroad fare to Lexington.

This little table tells the whole story
Of prohibition failure in Massachusetts.
1t shows that Notwithstanding the in
crease of population in the last or
license half of the decade over the
first, or prohibition half, there were
a. 73 less arrests for drunkenness.
13, 007 less convictions, and II, 16O less
sentences. Comparing 1874, the last
year of prohibition, with 1876, when
the license system had been fully es-
tablished again, it is found that there
were 5,277 fever arrests in the latter
year, 8, 359 fewer convictions, and 4, 642
fewer sentences.
The statistics by cities and towns are
equally instructive. Comparing the
number of arrests in two years of pro-
hibition. 1870 and 1874. and in one high
license, after the system had been in
force five years, and notwithstanding
the large increase in population it is
found that in most of the places there
was a large decrease in the number Of
arrests in 1879, compared with 1870.

Republicans Win A Victory.

The Court Of Appeals Wednesday de-
clared that the legislative redistricting
act passed 10y the last Legislature is
unconstitutional and void.
After the passage of this act by the
last Legislature the Republicans brought
suit to test its validity in the Butler
county and Ohio county circuit courts.
The cases are Joined in the opinion Ct
the court, which upholds the con-
tention Of the Republicans that this
act is in contraventiOn Of Section SO Of
the Constitution, in that more than two
counties are joined together to form q
legislative district, but that the dis
tlcts SO formed are grossly unequal

Some Very Stubborn Facts.

In regard to prohibition the question
is not what are the evils of intemper-
ance; it is whether any form of prohi-
bition does good or m-diminishes
the amount of drunkenness, or in
creases it, and the answer to this ques-
ton is not matter of conjecture or
speculation. The experiment has been
tried by many communities, on an
ample field, for sufficient time, under
favorable conditions, and with a de-
cisive result.
Massachusetts tried prohibition for
many years, and gave it up as worse
than failure. The Joint Committee
of the Legislature in 1867 reports that
if the law diminishes the number of
open places for drinking it does so only
to multiply the secret places. The evil
dence shows that in ali those cities or
towns where the prosecution against
open places was most active an extra
ordinary number of secret places were
started, that more liquor and worse
liquor was drunk, and that secret in
toxication ensued.
With regard to Boston, the report
says 1T can be safely asserted that
while the number of open places has
somewhat diminished, an immense and
continually increasing number Of Sc
cret places and clubs have been estab-
lished, drunkenness has increased al
most in direct ratio with the closing of
public places, and there is. now more
of it than at any previous time in the
history Of the city,
Ex-Mayor Norcross is authority for
the statement that drunkenness in

that the sale of ardent spirits has ii-

that the place is contraband and liable

HO MONEY CRISIS HERE
LOCAL BANKS ARE SOUND
Bankers Express Perfect Con fidence in the Local
 Situation.

That local banking and business con- ditions have not been affected by the semi-panc which has swept through New York city during the. past few days is the opinion of prominent New Haven bankers. Should the New York trouble continue the remainder of the country would be affected, but 1t is the consensus of opinion that New Haven banks will not be involved in the furry.
 Bank officials, including President
 Henry G. Newton of the Peoples Bank and Trust company; President F. D. Trowbridge of the New Haven Ma tional bank President Henry c. War ren of the Merchants National bank; President J. w. Curtis of the City bank, and President Samuel fleming way of the Second National bank, when interviewed yesterday expressed the greatest satisfaction with local conditions and presented the strongest assurance that a similar condition could not arise in New Haven's con. servatively managed financial institu.
 tons. It was stated that the banks ir this city have been preparing for tight money conditions and that their re, serves are stronger than at any other time in recent years.

Stockholders Are Subscribing Largely to New Issue of

At meeting of the directors of the New Haven Gas Light company, held this week, James S. Hemingway was elected director of the company to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Robert A. Brown MT. Hemingway is director of the New York New IIa- ven & Hartford Railroad company, and is treasurer of the New Haven Savings bank His acceptance Of his new pol stion as director of the Gas company gives much satisfaction to his associ- ates on the board.
 At the meeting this week, also, vari- ous routine matters were discussed.
 It was announced that from the re- l turns already in 1t was evident that q l large majority of the Gas company ! stockholders were availing themselves of the opportunity to subscribe to the lcompany's new issue of convertible bonds. This result was considered al the more gratifying in view of the pre-. vailing tightness of money all over. and the fact that many of the stockholders have had various calls upon their bank accounts for subscriptions to new tele. phone stock, new stock of the New Ha- ven road and other local securities.

PRICES OF STAMPED ENVELOPES
Cost of Stamps Not to Be Paid Until Delivery.

Dei1Very.
 Washington, Oct. 25.-Postmaster General Meyer issued an order to-day respecting the purchase by business men of stamped envelopes that will mean much to business communities and to large users of the government envelopes. It provides that when an order is placed with postmaster for
 stamped envelopes. only the cost of the envelopes and printing thereon shall be deposited with the order, instead of the entire cost, including stamps, as at present.
 The government is often five or six weeks in making delivery of stamped envelopes. AS about four million en- velopes are turned out every day by
 the government, and the orders for
 them are approximately three thousand a day. the amount of money tied up under the present practice is enor-
 nous.
 Under the order of the postmaster general, the stamp value of the en- velopes will remain in the hands of the purchaser and be available for such uses as he may care to make of it while the order is being filled. When
 the postmaster delivers the envelopes
 ordered, he will turn into the treasury
 immediately the money received, thus
 making it available for government purposes.
