THE LIQUOR CATECHISM-V.
Editor Ell Paso Herald:
Question 81 and the answer OF the
! liquor catechiSm read
81. Is there any difference be-
tween discussing prohibition in the
church and discussing the tariff
the income tax, reciprocity or any
other political problem. There is
none. Every political question has
its moral side. No great question
ever arose which did not contain
the element of morals. Preachers
clergymen and priests are employed
to discuss theological questions, to
teach religion and inculcate NOR
ais as affecting the individual
man or woman and not through po-
litical machinery reach the body
polite. Political questions are for
eign to their employment, directly
in violation of the governmental
principle of the separation of
church and state The preacher
who talks prohibition from the pull
pit talks politics in the pulpit,
which is entirely different from
preaching personal temperance"
l answer, yes, there is a difference.
The church is no longer, in swaddling
clothes nor hidden in the cloister. It is
militant and is living practical and ag-
be more and more what Christ intends
it shall be. In all educational work in
connection with reformations for the
uplift of humanity, the church has
wide and legitimate field from which
it will not be debarred by its mortal
foe the liquor traffic The latter is the
enemy Of the home. The church is the
defender Of the home. There is war
between the church and the liquor

Of the United States to retail liquor
dealers to permit them to sell beer,
wine and whisky in small quaint
ties.
"69. Are any retail liquor deal
ers' licenses issued in prohibition
Kansas? Kansas has 1144 retail
and wholesale liquor and malt deal
ers. as shown by the annual re-
port Of the commissioner of internal
revenue, of June 80, 1910, page
172"
Growth of prohibition territory will
compel discrimination of such federal
license and a modification of the in
terstate commerce law SO as TO pro-
hibit liquor shipments into prohibit
ton states. Prohibition will then have |
a square deal.
Question 20 and answer read:

in prohibition Kansas for drunken
ness? Yes. Topeka. the capital of
Kansas. with a population of 49,
