 AND PROHIBITION
Subject Of Address. by Rev. j. c. Fry on Sunday
 Night

One Of the possible perils Of immi. grafton was touched upon Sunday night by Rev J . F. Fry. at the Pres hyterian church Of the Covenant in his talk on -Temperance". Sunday was Temperance Day in churches all over the country and this topic was discussed in churches throughout the country
 sarrily 1shOp t1fls" or small talk While advocating prohibition him. self. MT. Fry granted that there were others. Christians. who didn't agree with him in his view of the liquor question and he accorded them per feet right to their opinion. He de elared that he was not radical or fanatic on the question. air. Fry's talk on Temperance" was one Of the best heard in any of the churches here in long time.
 The possible peril of immigration referred to. it's the effect that it has on the liquor question He cited one. instance in the recent Maine election where a French Catholic priest was hooted and hissed when he attempt ed to speak to them in favor of pro hltition.
 The tide of immigration is com ing from the southern part of Europe, from the shores of the Mediterranean where alcoholic beverages are used like water and We are feeling the ef. feet of this immigration in this coun try This lesson from the Maine elec' ticn may be applied to Bisbee.
 Paying tribute to the major portion Of our alien population. that is. the naturalized aliens. the minister did not hesitate to lay the responsibility for the backward movement of prohi hition to the older portion of the immigrants. who drink from child hood until they are old.
 Commenting upon this phase of the subject. citizen who heard the talk. recalled having seen three naturalized aliens carrying demijohns 10 their homes yesterday morning. lie also recalled a recent case in the Lowell justice court in which a number of aliens were arrested for serving wines at the table, the specific charge being the giving away of whisbey in less quantity than a gallon without having paid a license.
 Mir. Fry gave his approval 10 the Taylor efficiency system, system of work measurement that has been in- froduced into many of the large industrial plants of the country. A wage earner is paid according to his efficiency rather than for the time he works, under this system.
 This system is being opposed in the convention of the American Fedora ton of Labor now in session at At lanta.
 ''Tne labor unions might as well make up their minds to it, for it is coming sooner or later" Mir. Fry de- clared
 MT Fry declared that it had been proven by scientific experiments in Germany that drink lessons a mans efficiency, that tests had shown that if a man drinks a quart of wine a day for three days in succession, his eff Clency is reduced ten per cent. Thus under the Taylor system. man who drinks is snatching bread and butter from his own mouth.
 Regarding politics. Mir Fry declar- ed that prohibition is a local issue and that in times of election this shOuld De IemeHlDcIeo. ne 4iliilatNN that the anti-prohibftionists tried 10 make a party alignment on the issue, thus ohscuring the real issue. He said that he was a republican or had been brought up republican, but that in local politics he would vote for the man and not the party.
 "A sheriff who permits the yio- laiion of a law without attempting to stop 1t is worse than the man who deliberately violates the laws of the land, be said.
