"It has been once tried in Massachu-
setts, and ignominiously failed. 1t is,
according to all accounts, failure in
Rhode Island. In Ohio, similar pro-
vision in the constitution, prohibiting
license, gave over the state for years to
free liquor, and made Cincinnati a by
word and a reproach. Is it wise for
temperance men, who desire to abolish
the saloon altogether if they can and to
restrict it where abolition is impossible,
to incorporate in the constitution of the
state so doubtful an experiment. We
can give but one answer to that ques-
ton-an answer in the negative"

"To drink is no sin. Jesus Christ

any policy that claims the name of
Christ or does not claim His Name, that
deals with the well-nigh universal taste
of man for alcohol on the basis of law
and order alone, cannot commend itself

guard of temperance, We likewise hold
that society may righteously forbid any
custom which proves to be social evil.
Nevertheless, firmly as we insist on

"We can pass prohibition laws if the
majority of voters decide in their favor,
but we cannot enforce them against the
sentiment of the people who will regard
them as unjust and tyrannical. That is
the history Of all sumptuary laws, and
prohibition is no exception.
:" Pass prohibition and the total alb

stead of having the liquor traffic regu.
lated by the excellent license law we
have nova law which is supported by
public sentiment-we will have free Ii.

When Minister Forsakes
His Legitimate Weapons
REV. DIR. FRIERsoN.

To the question, Have ministers Of
the Gospel and their churches any right
to advocate prohibition" the Rev. D.
F. Frierson says, in the Christian OBJ
server: ''When he (the minister)
breaches prohibition, he forsakes his
legitimate weapons and ruins his own
cause. He destroys that perfectly free
option to which he must make his ap-
peal. He puts himself and his ministry
in the absurd position of appealing to
the moral nature at the moment that he
is advocating compulsion. Why should
he persuade at all if he can get law to
compel2n

COercive Legislation
Swells the Tide
Of Inebriety
REV. DIR. REID IN LANCET.

"Teetotalers make more drunkards
to redeem Wherever they succeed in
securing coereive legislation against al
cohol, they swell the tide of inebriety.
Among the southern nations of the
world, where alcohol is found as one of
the everyday beverages of the people,
excessive drinking and consequent
drunkenness are reduced to minimum.
London, Chicago and New York, which
are without prohibition, have respec-
lively, only Z, 10 and 23 drunkards per
1000, while Portland Me-, the classic
prohibition state, has 42."

Rev. WoOdson, Of Miss.

"There is not dry county in this
state today where liquor is not freely
dispensed through blind tigers, and we
know of several counties where a con
viction for illicit retailing is an impos;
sibility, for the people favor it, and still
the prohibition farce is persisted in.
Such condition is not only farcical,
but harmful, as it encourages disre-
gard for the law that is sure to bear
bitter fruit.

Total Abstinence Not Es-
sential TO Morality
CARDINAL GIBBONS.

'fI have never been able TO convince
myself that what we call total absti-
nence is essential TO morality. The
moderate and occasional use Of alco-
holic liquors is not to be condemned. In
countries, like France and Italy, where
the people as rule, drink wine, no seri-
GUS harm results from the practice.
Even in Rome--even at the Vatican
wine is not prohibited, and, as wc know,
the papal doctors themselves prescribe
IL for His Holiness.
"Then, again, 1 long since came to
understand that, putting aside the point
Of principle, IL was virtually impossible
to enforce total abstinence law in a
large community or in state. Look at
Maine, as an instance, and you viii see
how true this is. The attempt to en-
force such a law must consequently lead
I one Of the worst things--illegplity or
hypocrisy; possibly to both.

UP the campaign now at the close the Salem
Welfare League has presented many
phases Of the situation at it has developed
through trial in other states and Cities
and whether viewed from an ethical or a COM
mercial viewpoint, no fair minded man can
gainsay the statements that both morals and
business are disadvantSg geously and disastrous
ly affected by the attempts of prohibition,
wherever tried. There is prohibition in any
sense in any city or state where it has been
voted. The laws creating il are imperative,
from Maine to Oregon. The main effects of
prohibition where tried are, poor liquor, large
prices for it, an increase of the inmates of lu-
natic asylums and system of semi-thievery and
deliberate falsehood on the part of inhabitants
and transients that unfits them for good citi-
zenShip to a greater extent than any kind
of saloon evil.
Books and libraries might be burdened by
the verbose expressions of unheSrd of writers
and orators treating on the subject. To the
point and pertinent, however, are the authen-
ticAted statements, addresses and editorial
pressions presented on this page today from
men Of national renown as priests, preachers
and editors and those who mean to be fair, not
only to themselves, but to their neighbors, will
read and digest the honest and dignified senti-
ments of these great leaders. Doing this cer-
tainly should bring a conviction to the eIector
that negative vote on next Tuesday will be
righteous one, both from a moral and business
standpoint

Throws Wide Open the

REV. HOWARD CROSBY.

prohibition throws wide open the
flood gates of vice. An imperative law
is no law at all. There is the unlicensed
vice which feels its temporary freedom,
and is prepared to make the most Of it.
Is prohibition inoperativeY The statistics
show that it is. There is no prohibition
in Maine. There never was in any state
which adopted it. The main effects OF
prohibition, where tried, nre poor liquor,
large prices for it, an increase Of the in
mates Of lunatic asylums, poverty for
the farmer and system Of semi-thiev-
cry, and deliberate falsehood on the
part Of the inhabitants and transients
which unfits them for prayer and

Or. storer S. Jolly.

Order of Calanthe and Pythians,
Ladies and gentlemen, as WELL
If you but listen quietly,
A story I'm going to tell:
There was a man named Jolly,
A. D. D., l.. l.. D.,
Not content as being a preacher,
A Pythian he longed to be.
He sent in his application :,
Of course. it was voted on
And at their very next meeting
They brought poor jolly along.
They led him into the castle,
They gave him the first degree;
He smiled to himself quite cheerful,
IT'S not a bit hard, thought he.
The second will be just as easy
He thought, with a glow in his
eyes,
But when he had left that castle
He'd had a glorious surprise.
Well, along he came for the third;
He was feeling light and gay
Had l seen him before he entered,
I'd told him to keep away.
But all the same, he went there,
And when he was we'll inside,
They brought out a bride and sad
die,
And the goat he was to ride
imagine l see him looking
When his foot on the stirrup was
placed;
When he mounted upon the saddle,
That goat began in haste.
The rest is history with Jolly,
And the goat he tried to ride,
For when he had departed,
I'm sure he was satisfied.
But all the same, he's ythiar,- !.
And he's one who's very discreet
But he'll fever forget his joy ride. ].
And win ever remember sore feet.
Hes re- Der Of Delaware Con
efenos
a man wlpm we all revere;
He's also q Rand Lodge member
III tell hSg we got him here.
When Phillips Henson. of Chester
town.
Went to Easton that spring,
He came back exclaiming, and Jolly
proclaiming,
And told US everything.
You ought to hear him, he was
heard to exclaim,
The man with the Jolly name;
For he is a teacher as we'll as a
preacher,
A man of renown and fame.
So he's here tonight, and looking
quite bright,
And seems to be in good cheer;
He's a Pythian bold, so I've been
told,
Like Casey, the brave engineer. ;"
We welcome you, Jolly, our brave
brother, jolly,
And wish you could ever remain,
But when we get through entertain

The regatta of the Cambridge

the most successful events that
has been held on the Atlantic
Coast for several years; gentlemen
who have followed regattas on the
Chesapeake Bay for number OF
years state that it was the best one
they have seen for at least ten
years. Thirteen events were got
ten off without hitch, and, best
of ali, the racing was held within
plain view of the large crowds that
had gathered on the shores to
watch them.
Too much credit cannot be CIV
en- Mr.. Roscoe Leonard, OF the
Cambridge Yacht Club. who. as
chairman Of the Regatta Committee,
has had the entire management OF
the getting up of the, races of all
classes. Mr.. Leonard has display
ed unusual ability, rare tact, skill
full management, and has made a
wonderful success of a proposition
that many persons regarded as
doubtful.
There were plenty of boats en-
tered, nearly a hundred in the diff
ferent classes; the courses were
Laid out in such a manner that the
public could receive the full bene-
fit of the racing. and the events
were started in a methodical man
ner, that insured the carrying out
of the racing schedule without a
break.
We congratulate Mr.. Leonard
upon having gotten up and man
aged the most successful regatta
that has been held upon the Chesa-
peake Bay or the Atlantic Coast
and assure him that his efforts
insure the continuation of an en-
joyable sport to Cambridge. and
