Oppose Prohibition Laws.

AT the public hearing before the
Commissioners Thursday to discuss
the three bells recently introduced
| in Congress affecting the excise laws
of the District, Kurt Voelckner, pre-
sident of the Deutscher Central
Verein of Washington, addressed the
Commissioners as the representative
of the United German Societies of
the District of Columbia, an organi-
zation composed of twenty-three So
cieties of citizens of German extrac-
ton, and comprising nearly 5000
people
Mr.. Voelckner spoke against pro-
hibition, saying that the societies re-
presented by him most emphatical
ly protest against the enactment of
laws providing prohibition, and re-
quested the Commissioner to report
adversely upon these bills Owing to
the late hour at which Mr.. Voelckner
spoke, his remarks were omitted
from the account of the proceedings
published THURSDAY night.
In opposing prohibition Mr..
Voelckner said: I'VE have always
practiced true temperance, and will
continue to do SO; we demonstrate
it by our lives and by our duties.
Temperance, however, does not mean
total abstinence or prohibition. We
are against prohibition, becase it
does not prohibit. We are against
total abstinence because it is I'M
natural and a forced condition. If
prohibition is of such beneficial
nature for mankind in general, how
is it that the foremost men of the
nation have not advocated the adop-
ton of prohibitory laws throughout
the United States? do not know of
any man that has accomplished any
thing worth while for the benefit of
the country who was a professional
prohibitionist | do not know of one
truly great man who has said that
prohibition was beneficial to man
kind

Saloon to Run on Novel Plan.

Huntington, w. Va, Jan. 25.-
Holden, a mining town near here,
will after February have a saloon
the profits of which will be devoted
to charity. Representatives of the
United States Coal and Oil Company
operating at Holden, have been
granted license. Replying to pro-
tests against the license, the attorney
for the applicants stated it was not
the desire to operate the saloon as a
money-making venture, but that 1t
is impossible to keep miners because
they will not stay where drink can
not be procured.
The attorney asserted the company
had lost heavily on account of this
condition, and offered to enter into
a written agreement to operate the
saloon on strictly business basis
and to turn the profits over to such
charity as the court might direct.
This proposition was accepted and
the license granted.

effort to reduce accidents to the min
