large community, says the cardin-
al. That is agreed; but based
on such premises, do the prohibi-
tionists really wish Improved con-
ditions, or do they strive TO gam
down the throats and into the
hearts Of men their own erratic
notions, which, as is stated here,
inevitably lead to "illegality or
hypocrisy possibly BOTH
Bishop Hoffman, of Philadel-
iphia: "You cannot legislate peo-
| pie into being good, and prohibi-
ton does not accomplish its de-
sired end after all, as witnessed
in the state of Maine, which is
anything but a closed state, ex-
eept in name"
Here is the testimony of anoth-
er bishop. His mission ON earth
is to do good, to preach the gos-
pei, and the above indicates his
ideas on the practical side of this
mOOteu question.
Below we give the literal state
ments, short but appropriate, of
six other bishops who have volun-
tarily expressed themselves on
this question, and whose views,
based on their experience, are APP
propriate for quotation and as
similiation by those who are to
vote at the end Of this county
struggle:
Bishop Grafton, of Wisconsin:
II cannot agree with those who
think the taking of wine in mod
Grafton is wrong, because the
process of fermentation is one of
Gods created acts, and the Di-
vine Master of the Christian re-
ligion turned water into wine
Bishop Doane, of New York
" No such law can be framed that
will not create popular excite
ment by it's alleged interference
with individual liberty and it's un-
fair discrimination Of privileges
between classes, or will be used,
as it has been for many years, as
a means Of extorting money. by
city officials and violators of the
law to purchase immunity
Bishop Fox, of Green Bay,
Wisconsin: II do not think
there are five bishops in the
country who favor prohibition"
Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island
" Prohibition has been disastrous
to the cause Of temperance. =
Bishop johnson, of Texas: II
would be the last to curtail or
infringe upon the rights of men
engaged in the liquor traffic, for
/ believe they have as much right
under the law to sell liquor as l
have to preach.
Bishop Potter, of New York:
prohibitory laws, whether
we put them in operation on one
or all days, are as stupid as they
are Intellectual. Most of our
methods for dealing with the
drink evil in our day and gener-
alton are tainted with falsehood,
dishonored by essential unreality
and discredited by widespread
and consistent failure.
Bishop Lines, of Newark, N. j.:
Prohibition leads to the forma-
ton of clubs which cannot be con-
trolled and which are more de-
moralizing than saloons. Cam
