DOES NOT APPROVE OF POLICY
PURSUED BY THOSE WHO
HAVE so FAR CONDUCT
Ed A CAMPAIGN.
OF INvEcTtvEs, ISLANDER AND
MUD THROWING in FIGHT
AGAINST SALOONS.
AN ELOQUENT SPEAKER AND
BROAD THINKER.
Jay Henry w. LewIs.)

It was with pleasure that the writ
err heard the discourse of the Rev.
oliver w. Stewart, at the Grand yes
terday. In It he showed himself TO be
man of broad thought and liberal
views, who did not and could not ap-
prove of the narrow course pursued by
the and-license leaders in their use OF
invectiyes. SANDER and mud throwing
as weapons in this campaign. He
agreed with me in what l have said
previously that both sides should
place their arguments before the peo-
pie and it was up to the public to de
eide by the use OF the ballot as to
what Fairmont really wanted. That
those who oppose my views had the
right to express theirs. both In public
speech and the local press have never
been decried by me but committee
OF the anti.license people waited on
the management OF the local papers,
asking them to deny me the use of
their columns.
Mr.. Stewart showed literally of
thought when he expressed himself
as believing that those who opposed
his views, did SO in all honesty from
conviction and principle which is the
exact opposite to what has been din
ned in the public ear for the past few
weeks by the local prohibition exec
lutive committee.
Truth is stronger that fiction"
even when it goes against puritanic
prohibitionist and local opdonist.
The truth only hurts those who com
plain when 1t is true. Therefore when
cold facts are presented on the liquor
question. they are opposed by the aver
age prohibition orator because cold
facts do not permit of their raving
sentimentality and Misrepresentation.
Fair minded people are willing to hear

as the only Or the main remedy
against the evil of intemperance In
this country. Many other people deny
the effectiveness of such a remedy;
not a few, even here in Mouudsville,
have voted for the Prohibition ticket
because they are bar keepers and
would rather sell without paying IL
cense and take their chance with the
police; of this fact we are all aware.
Prohibition Is a policy and when In
presence OF mere policy the Catholic
Church never deems that It is her
duty to interfere. She has never con-
demned It; she has never approved of

opinion about prohibition; as a free

ance. however, among old and new
philosophers, has a more special and
definite meaning. It is considered as
one of the four cardinal virtues: Pru'
dence, Justice fortitude and temper
ance. In this special sense temper
ance is the virtue which controls the
lower or animal appetites Of our hui
man nature according to the dictates
Of reason. These lower appetites are
classified under two different heads:
These relating to the conversation Of
human individuals, viz: The appetite
for food and drink-and those relating
to the preservation OF the human race
viz: The sexual appetite.
"2d. Temperance in the matter Of
drink, which alone concerns US to
night, is known under the special term
of sobrlety. sobriety is a part, or as
S. Thomas Aquinas calls 1T, a daugh'
ter of the virtue which controls our
appetite for drink according to the
dictates of reason. 1t is necessary to
add that temperance in all It's forms,
and sobriety in a special manner, are
virtues advocated by the Catholic
Church since its foundation? The
apostles preached it from the start
and re-echoing their voice, the Catho,
lie Church has always included drunk
ards among those who cannot enter
the kingdom Of heaven unless they re.
pent and reform their lives. Should
drunkard die lmpenitent, she refuses
to accompany his remains to his un'
hallowed grave.
sd. Abstinence is also Christian
virtue or rather necessary practice
to foster the virtue OF Temperance. We
cannot expect to keep under control
the lower appetItes of our animal
nature unless, at least occasionally,
we deny them some of those satisfac-
lions which reason alone would not
OF itself condemn. In this abstinence
consists. Our human nature Is fall
en- nature and must be treated as
such. We must make the horse feel
the bit even when it shows no dispo'
sItion to run away with us. We must
chastise our body to keep our control
over it and for fear of becoming cast
aways. BY abstinence, however, we
do not deny all satisfaction Of our
lower appetites; we merely, at stated
times, deny ourselves some Of these
saasfactions which in the eyes OF
reasons are perfectly Legitimate.
18th. Total abstinence or total re
uunciation Of certain class Of food,
drink or other animal pleasures is also
highly praiseworthy practice, IL its
ultimate purpose is good and deserves
Gods approval. We have a high e1-
ample OF ii In the life of John the Bap-
list and OF many other saints Of the
Old and New Law. There are orders
Of men and women IN the Catholic
Church to-day in which total absti-
llnenee from certain food or drink q .

regular practice. In all of those relig-
ious orders as well as in the Catholic
priesthood, celibacy is a rule and cell
ibacy is, as you all understand, one
of the forms of total abstinence. 1t
is the only special form which our
Divine Lord chose to practice, for he
tells up himself that he drank wine.
It is the special form to which st. Paul
his apostles, gives such a high encom-
ium and which he himself had chosen
to practice in order to give his undi;,
vided solicitude to the service of God.
q Cor, VII. 32.) But let Us mark it,
Total abstinence under any form has
never been made In the Catholic
Church a rule of life for all 1t is to
be practiced, as our Lord himself de-
clared 1t, by those only to whom It
is given to practice It. The Catholic
Church has always condemned as. her
etics those who would make any form
of total abstinence obligatory for all
mankind. Here I may add that, as
result OF my experience in this coun.
try, have reached the conclusion that
in certain cases of intemperance. total
abstinence from intoxicating drinks
is one Of the best, II not at times the
only remedy to be resorted to. In
order to save a life, a physician must
sometimes have recourse to radical
measures, such as amputation of
limb but he would be guilty Of NAL
practice IL he had recourse to such
violent means when there is no neces-
sity for It.
/ thought 1t necessary to define
those words: Temperance, sobriety,
total abstinence, which are too fire.
quently taken as meaning one and the
same thing. To change at random the
long accepted significance of these or
other words Is the note Of mind that
delights in obscuritles and too fire.
quently in unfairness. A man may be
perfectly temperate, may fully prac-
tice the virtue OF sobnety and yet re-
fuse to practice total abstinence from
wine and other intoxicating drinks,
Our Divine Lord drank wine. but who
would dare to accuse him OF not being
a model Of Temperament Speaking Of
the Baptist, who neither cate nor
drank" yet was slandered and perse-
cuted unto death. Christ tells us that
Himself chose to eat and drink and
nevertheless he had to undergo the
revilings of the Phariseees who called
Him a glutton and wine drinker.
Matt M. 1s.) Let US carefully avoid
the resemble them. We know how for.
chilly and repeatedly our Lord, SO mer-
ciful to all poor sinners, has told US
what he thought of those whitened
sepulchres.
Now, / may be allowed to say what
1 think of prohibition. Prohibition, Of
course, Is not a virtue, nobody quail
iaea 1t as such. Prohibition Is merely
policy which some people consider
