letter TO CLERGY
MORAL LICENSE LEAGUE TO
CURB rum HABIT.
object Of League Is to Have Uni
form Restrictive Saloon License
Adopted by All the States Where
Prohibition Is Not in Force-CaIIs
for Earnest Consideration of People.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 12.-The Ma
tional Moral License league, through
it's president, T. NJ Gilmore, has is
sued an open letter to the clergymen
of the United States. After explaining
that the object of the league is to have
uniform restrictive saloon license
adopted by all the states where prohi-
bition is not in force, the letter says:
We do not offer this law as substi-
tute for prohibition ); that is, it is not
intended to interfere with the passage
of prohibition laws if the people desire
them, but it is intended to bring about
obedience to law where the business is
licensed.
Prohibitory laws that are being
passed in this country merely prohibit
the manufacture and sale, and do not
prohibit the purchase and use, and
all thinking men know that where a
demand exists, it will be supplied from
some source if the profit justifies the
risk in supplying it. Witness the de
velopment of the mail order business
and of the moonshine business, as
shown by the figures of the interna
revenue department, the per capita
consumption of whisky having de
creased with the spread of prohibition
while the per capita consumption O
beer has largely increased.
If the anti-saloon league will agree
to it we will favor having an amend
ment to all prohibitory laws providing
heavy penalty for the purchase Of a.
coholic beverages, or for having then
in possession in prohibitory territory
and this would mean prohibition.
But passage of laws will not proven
the use of alcoholic beverages; tina
is matter of education and evolution
Those interested in prohibition ar
taking the ground that the manufa'
ture and distribution of alcoholic be-
erages are wrong per Sc. If this b
true, then there is no question ths
the Almighty was wrong in comment
ing the use of wine to Ibis chose
people" and Christ was wrong in ma
: ing wine at the foot of Galilee an
he was wrong in selecting wine an
i bread to commemorate his death.
l Now, if those interested in the effo
: to establish prohibition prove to tt
J. satisfaction of the American Poop
Il that Christ did that which was wron
! that Christ committed sin and tn
Christ set a bad example to futu
generations, then we fear that the
;. will have succeeded, in so far as Il
= American people are concerned, in d
9 stroying the very foundation of Chr
- tian faith.
1t is a strange suggestion to cor
from men connected with the whisl
ministry, but we consider it a We
business to those connected with t
., serious phase of this question, and O
u that deserves the earnest thought

The honor Of perfecting a device which

Z. Berliner, of 1888 Columbia road. an

Owing 20 his characteristic modesty Il
has just leaked OUT that MIR. Berliner
has been working for some time on his
new project. lie is convinced that a
specially planned screw for aerial ragi-
cation is not only of vast Importance,
but is absolutely essential TO the sue
cess Of the airship. According to Mr.
Berliner the airship will never be a sue
cess even after the perfection OF the
aeroplane or dirigible balloon until a
proper propeller has been discovered II
is on this one feature alone that Mr..
Berliner is working.
