THE BRITISH SITUATION

From this distance it appears that the
Liberal party in Parliament, or, to speak OF
it in the English way Of saying things, "the
Government" has at length played much
fairer with the temperance people of Great
Britain than the history of the past months
has given reason to expect.
The Liberal party owes its power largely
to the promises which it made to the tenn
perance people, but for long months it has
held power with practically no exhibition OF

To destroy an industry that uses two billion
bushels of grain annually is hardly the way to

CARDINAL GIBBONS

without the communion of the Catholic
church, who feel aggrieved at some of the
criticisms (not published in this paper)
which have been launched at him because
of his attack upon Prohibition and his de-
tense of the saloon. It is truly lamentabe
thing that a man whose standing before the
moral community has been so high should
be subjected to such castigation.
We should feel the matter even more deep
ly, were it not for the fact that those who
have been foremost in resenting the criticism
are notorious champions of the saloon.
Yet, when we review the situation as care
fully as possible, we do not feel sure that all
the blame should rest upon the gentlemen
who made the criticisms that have been OBJ
jected to.
The facts were not of their making. The
liquor interests are frantic for anything that
makes weight against the Prohibition move
ment. Every word Of clergyman, be his
denomination or his standing what it may,
that can be used in opposition to Prohibition
is eagerly seized upon and widely telegraph
ed through the country. Unfortunately,
large number Of clergymen, have laid them
selves open to be thus preyed upon by the
liquor interests, and their errors in speech or
writing have thrust them, willingly or other
wise, into the position Of defenders of the
liquor traffic in the daily papers and in the
paid-for advertising of the brewers and dis
tillers.
Long before any Prohibitionist lifted
voice or pen against the great cardinal, his
words against Prohibition were appearing,
side-by-side, with the brewers falsehoods, in
huge, full-page advertisements paid for with
the traffic's bloody money.
The results have been inevitably disagree
able for the reverend gentlemen. For years
past notice has been widely given, to all
whom it may concern that the unfortunate
individual who gets himself between the Pro-
hibition artillery and the saloon has himself
to thank, in part at least, if the results are
not to his liking. All defenders of the gin
mill 'flook alike' in the smoke of battle; and
the fact that one happens to be prelate OF
high rank and great personal worth and to
wear the robes of great church, gives him
no insurance against undesirable results when
he arrays himself, or allows himself to be
arrayed, upon the side of the liquor traffic.
Cardinal GIBBONS has our sympathy. Yet
we sorrow chiefly, not that he has been criti-
cised. but that he said the things which, we
are reluctantly forced to admit, demanded
criticism.
The sad feature of the case is that the
name and influence of such really great
man can be used in defense of the vilest and
wickedest institution that hell rejoices over.

WHAT MEANS THE ARCHBISHOP?

We compliment Archbishop SEBASTIAN
GERHARD MEssMER of the archdiocese of
Milwaukee upon his accurate definition of
the word 'temperate.' AS the archbishop is
quoted in an interview in the Milwaukee
Sentinel, he is represented as saying:
81 object to the sentiment which assumes that
beer is not a temperate Temperance does
not mean total abstinence. 1t means the moder-
ate man."
We are perfectly in accord with the arch
bishop and, what is much more to the point,
the dictionary agrees with him. A man
who takes can occasional glass of wine or
BEER IS temperate man-very temperate.
But there are some things about "a man
who takes an occasional glass of wine or
BEER which the archbishop evidently has
not thought of, or, thinking Of them, has
failed to express himself as clearly as might
be desired. A man who takes an occasional
glass of wine or beer as the great German
scholar Forel has pointed out, by that fact
becomes logically and of necessity defend
er of the whole drink system man who
takes an occasional glass of wine or beer be-
comes a bulwark of the saloon which sells it's
repeated glass of beer and whisky to the I'M
fortunate; the man who takes an occasional
glass of wine or beer is counted upon to de-
fend, and in practice does defend and abet,
the whole Infamous system that gives us the
gin mill and the house of infamy and their
innumerable disastrous results Frequently
the temperate" man never intended to put
himself in that position. It was result of
the facts in the case
We wish the archbishop would think about
this.
When the great churchman goes on to
say, as he is quoted, 81 have seen a great
deal of misery and poverty caused from ex-
cessive drinking and I sympathize deeply
with those who have suffered it is regret

self behind the theory of moderation.
We are still further interested in Arch
bishop MEssMER, as quoted in the interview
to which reference has already been made.
The eminent prelate is represented as say
ing:
II protest also any movement to pass laws
which in any way interfere with the personal
liberty of the individual unless such interference
is necessary for the good and the protection OF
the community. That Prohibition is such
necessity is thing which its advocates have

SCIENCE APPLIED TO CRIMi-

MANY FISH KILLED
by the Explosion OF an Old War
Mine.

Three Of the mines which were
put in New York bay at the time of
the Spanish-American war and have
lain in the magazine Of Fort Wads-
worth ever since they we're officially
condemned have been exploded.
This took place at the Narrows. near
the fort. No boats were allowed
to pass that way at the time, the
places where the mines were being
marked off by floating targets.
The only evidence the spectators
got Of the explosions WAS about a
thousand stunned tish-tlukc, black
fish and flounders-which were seen
floating directly in front Of the fort
after the mines had been set OFF.
The soldiers got into small boats
at once and every one Of them went
back 10 quarters with a good catch
for Friday. One soldier got 700
fish.
