JUDGE WARNER HOPEFUL.
Believes That With Patience the Stat
 Farm for Drunkards Will Come.

Judge E. M Warner, superintendent of prison and reform work for the Connecticut Christian Endeavor union, was on Friday sending out requests for the observance of Prison Sunday in churches of the state on the fourth Sunday of this month. With the mo- ticeS went a copy of the Connecticut 1 Citizen, which in it's current issue con- 1 tains several articles of interest in con- nection with the observance of Prison l Sunday
 One of the articles in the Citizen is l contributed by Judge Warner. IS en- i titled Patience, and deals with the es- l tablishing of a state farm for drunk i ards. In it he says:
 l Last year both house and senate unanimously passed a bill establishing l a state farm for drunkards with a 1 friends of the measure, and they num- | Der now many thousands, reJO1ced ! greatly, for the bill was a door of hope for the many drunkardS who appear 1 before our city courts and probate courts. Rich drunkards can go or be
 sent to an expensive sanitarium, but i the drunkard in Connecticut who is poor under the present law must go l to the county jail for short terms just | long enough to get up a raging thirst | and not long enough to quench or con-
 trol it. We'll that bill failed to re- ceive the governors signature, so the joy of the friends of the measure was
 very short lived.
 It remains for the year and legisla- 1 ture of 1915 to become famous if not immortal by passing that bill, or a ! similar one and at least attempt to
 put a stop to the development and en- | couragement of the drunken "rounder." Stone Crusher at Work.
