BRYAN ON PROHIBITION
ISSUE NOW FACING US

The Democrats of the nation have
an issue to face, and they may as
well prepare for it. The liquor in
terests are at bay; they are in the
defensive. They realize that they
have but few more years in which
to fatten upon the woes of their
victims. but they are fighting desper-
ately and are willing to hold any
party between them and the fire
The Democratic party cannot afford
to shield the brewery, the distillery
and the saloon from the rising wrath
of determined people. Democracy
IL the nations hope on political and
economical questions-let it not, by
taking sides with the liquor inter
ests, repel those who put moral is
sues first. The young men of the
country are Democratic by nature,
but they will not submit their claims
to political preferment to those who
conspire against the home and ev-
erything good-neither will they
find pot-house politicians congenial
party associates. The Democratic
party is the party of the future-it
has a chance to enter the promised
land-why allow the liquor interests
to lead It away into the wilderness?
Get ready for the fight.--lThe Com

Charged With Improper Conduct To

New York, April 4.-The trial OF
Rev. Jacob E. Price, pastor OF the
Washington Heights Methodist
Episcopal Church, on a charge OF i'm
proper conduct, was begun yester-
day before an ecclesiastical court
The charges were preferred by sew
eral members Of Rev. Mr.. Prices
congregation, most of his accusers
being women.
Although the trial is being con-
Quoted in secret, the witnesses spoke
freely of the testimony that had
been given, attributing their vii,
lingness to speak, in some cases, to
an alleged attempt of the court to
"whitewash" the accused minister.
In the main, the charges against
Dr. Price are that he frequently at
tempted to kiss women members Of
his flock. and that he often succeed
ed. The story told by Mrs E. j.
Leger, a witness, yesterday may he
taken as typical of the complaints.
Mrs. Leger declares that DR.. Price
called upon her in May, 1918, "held
her hand an undue length of time, y
kissed one or both of her hands and
on another occasion "put his arm
around her."
Three weeks later, her complaint

the "njunctiors in St. Pauis ieu0ers
were designed to meet specific con-
ditions which have since passed
away To quote his commands to
women in an era when conditions IN
society were radically different from
our own is to do an injustice to St
Paul as we'll as to our own sanity
and ethical sense. Then women
were uneducated, and society cor

commanded slaves to remain in sub
