problems which democratic govern
ment has still 70 solve is the settin;
Of limits to majority control of per

Good Book Granting that the liquor
traffic causes Il great deal of crime
suffering and degradation. it by NJ
means follows that 4 tyrannical ma
jority has the natural right to inter
fere with the individual freedom OF
any person who respect, the cluaI
freedom Of every other individual in
the social organism. This postulate
applies with force, rs TO what a man
may eat and drink: this right viii
not long be willingly surrendered.
/ though Il man may abstain from
gluttony and the use of intoxicants
from principle. the struggle for
| liberty has been going on for ages.
1t must ever be thus, else civiliza-
ton would perish.
Men are in the liquor business for
the profit there is in the traffic, the
same rs selling general merchandise.
1t is vigorously claimed, on good au-
thority, that adulterated foodstutfs
in connection with poverty, beget q
taste for liquor; that vixen the posi-
tive qualities in the individual shall
have been destroyed or undermined,
he Graves stimulants to brace him up.
An able lady in Minnesota, having
had good opportunities for investiga-
ton, remarks in . printed pamphlet,
that poorly-cooked food causes much
more domestic infelicity than intoxi-
cants. Where are the refOrmers 60
ing to draw the line? AS long as
they are in the housekeeping oc-
cupation, why stop with the agita-
ton of the liquor traffic. why not
take up. in the same connection the
questions Of poverty and poor food.
1t is urged that prohibitOry laws
wherever tried, make men tyrannical,
hypOcritical and dishonest; breed
a lawlessness for the destruction of
property. If you say it is all right
that the mob should destroy whisky
and beer, another mob might destroy
your groceries. because they were
thought to be adultera:ed: were con-
ducive to the destruction of health
and the creation of an abnormal APP
petite for intoxicants. Matters Of
State polity cannot be rightly solved
by the mob spirit; common sense and |
fair Judgment are required.
The great archeolOgist, Prof. W.
Flinders Petrie, who personally dis
likes alcohol, doubts the expectancy
Of prohibition. THE safer and more
honest course is to make drinking
more open, more public; the abuse of
t more condo nned.
Physical and moral force constitute
elements for the solution of
affairs concerning what u sane man
shall eat or drink. Human nature
must be trusted, in order that the
good within man shall surely and eff
ectually triumph. Liberty, in its
'est sense, is the mother of order. |
Every man has the liberty to do
whatsoever he wills; provided he
locs not invade the equal freedom of
my other individual" !

NEW BRIDGE OPEN Grand Avenue Structure Cross. ed by Cars for First Time
 Yesterday.
ONLY ONE TRACK USED
Many Straps Cut of as Souvenirs First Trip Made at 1;07 Sun 
 day Morning.

The new bridge over Grand avenue has been open to pedestrians for some time but the first car to cross it was a Fair Haven car at 1:O7 Sunday morn. On Saturday afternoon the com pany said they would run a car across at 100 o'clock Sunday morning and they were true to their promise. within ten minutes. So much of an event was this considered by people frequenting the Grand avenue cars that the com pany lost several straps which some young men among the passengers cut off for souvenirs.
 The company for the last few days has had fires along the track to burn out the front and in spite of the weather got the track far enough through to permit the car to cross But for the weather the bridge could have been used two weeks ago.
 The first car did not make through trip to Fair Haven, for the tracks on the other side of the bridge were not connected, so the passengers had to be transferred after the bridge was crossed.
 The first car that crossed and didn't come back went over at 7:3S Sunday morning. The cars going to Fair Ha- ven will now cross the bridge regularly but those coming from Fair Haven will still use the temporary bridge for A time

Prudential Committee Issues an Ap-
 peal for Aid

The prudential committee, consist ing of Joel A. Sperry, Gen. Edwin S Greedy and Dr. William Pitt Bald win last night issued the following appeal;
 For the kindly assistance recently rendered the inmates of Grace hos pital during their time of extreme need, the prudential committee begs to express it's deep appreciation. The disastrous fire has left us in critical situation. We have temporarily solved the problem of caring for those of our patients who are still under our charge. While the building was fairly we'll insured, the contents were not SC fully covered and we shall need to re- place many articles for which we shall receive no compensation. For this we shall need financial assistance Our past experience of the generosity of the New Haven public prompts us to make an appeal at this time in be- half of those who were driven from the hospital on winters day and in many cases with insufficient protec- tion.

 the Philippines.

Springfield. Mass, March l'-secre- tarv of War William H. Taft address, ed an audience of more than 1000 per- sons which filled Court square theater this afternoon. He spoke under the auspices of the Y. NJ. C. A, and LOOK the work of the Y. M. C, A. as ms sun feet, paying particular attention 10 the international aspect of that work ana emphasizing the aid which the asso- ciation has been to the government m the Philippines and in the fahama canal zone. Secretary Taft was in this city a few hours, coming from New York and departing early this evening for Milbury. Just prior to his depart ure he was entertained at luncheoh py few citizens in the Nayasset ciup.
 Secretary Taft devoted considerable attention to the civilizing agencles al work in the Philippines and to the methods employed in carrying out the delicate task of acquiring the friars lands without causing friction. The trouble was removed" said he, with out the, slightest denominational or sec- tartan friction. I venture to say Witn reference to our forefathers. that such a thing could not have been accom- plished in their day with as little crlti- cism under the circumstances The Angle Saxon race had to fight four ol five hundred years before we learned tc govern ourselves, but we hope we may be able to furnish the Filipinos with short cut so that in generation they may be given the independence they deserve"

FISH NOT INTERESTED
Declares He Had Nothing 10 Do With
 Suit Brought by Leman.

Chcago, March 1.-Stuyvesant Fish arrived to-day to attend the annual meeting of the Illinois Central Railroad company to be held tomorrow. Wil- liam Nelson Cromwell, representing F.. h Hartman, also arrived. When asked about the suit brought by Henry W. Leman on Saturday to restrain the voting of the stock which was the sub- Ject of the previous injunction suit in Judge Balls court, MT. Fish said that he was in no way interested in the case.
 It is not expected that, an election will occur before Tuesday or Wednes- day for it is believed that the proxy committee will require considerable time to count and arrange the proxies.
 President J. T. Harahan, Attorney Cromwell, Vice President A. J. Hack staff and L. c. Fritch, assistant to the president, conferred during the after noon on affairs pertaining to the elec- ton of new director. Mir. Fish de- clined to discuss his plans. He said, however, that he still owned 12,25o shares of Illinois Central stock and had no intention of parting with any of it. He said that he was here solely to look after his interests and that what he did would depend largely on what others did.

TO SURPRISE EVANS Officials Working to Secure Him a Commission as
 Vice Admiral. EXPECT CONGRESS TO ACT Title Will be Issued on Completion of Fleets Cruise at San
 Francisco.

Washington. March 1,--In quiet way naval officials in Washington are endeavoring to arrange a most agree able surprise for Admiral Evans when the battleship fleet under his command sails through the Golden Gate and completes the Pacific cruise To sig nalize the governments appreciation of the successful conduct of this un- dertaking, 1t is proposed 10 greet the rear admiral with a commission as vice admiral of the American navy. Of course. the success of this undertaking depends upon conditions but the pres ident has done his part in recommend ing to that body for the reestablsh- ment of that naval grade. It is not doubted that congress can be induced to act upon this recommendation in season to ensure the issue of Admiral Evans commission before the conple- ton of the present cruise, so that he may bear the title of vice admiral for the few months between his arrival at San Francisco and his retirement from active service.
 The naval argument in support of the proposed re-establishment of the grade of vice admiral is strongly re-enforced by comparison made at the navy de- paument between the British hone fleet engaged In. the manoeuvres last fall tof which a report has just reached here) and the battleship fleet com manded by Rear Admiral Evans. The figures show the British feet com posed of 26 battleships, l5 armored cruisers, protected cruisers and 5T torpedo craft. were commanded by the admiral, three vice admirals, seven rear admirals and one commodore The American fleet when it Is fully as sembled IT san Francisco harbor will consist of l9 battleships, armored cruisers, three protected cruisers and large number or supply ships, col Hers, and repair ships, nine destroyers and five torpedo boats. commanded by only four rear admirals.
