PROHIBITION VS.. TEMPERANCE
Rev. Henry Wood j. Treats Subject Jesuit Magazine

The drink problem is perhaps the
most difficult of all social questions.
The difficulty arises from two facts,
of which the first is that drunken
ness is a very grave social evil; and
the second, that strong drink, ma
terial cause of the evil, is in itself
one of the Indifferent things which
become good or bad according to
their use. tuberculosis is a physical
evil; and to get rid of it one may de-
clare war against dirt and damp and
airless, sunless rooms. Dirt is, ac-
cording to a well-known author, mat
ter in the wrong place. God created
man a creature of the air and of the
light. A system, or rather lack of
system, which allows dirt to accum-
ulate and men and women and chill
dren to be cut off from air and light,
is in itself disorderly; and even
though it did not result in disease,
should nevertheless be abolished.
Hence it may be the direct object of
attack. Drunkenness is a physical
and moral evil. It's cure is to be
found in moral order, rather than in
the physical; in the cultivation of the
will rather than in the removal of
the material cause. From this we
see the error of the prohibition meth
cd of procuring sobriety.
According to the w. C. T. U. and
it's friends of the male sex, wine and
beer and stronger liquors are abso-
lutely bad, and to be forbidden to all
as such, position practically Mani
chean. They are, on the contrary,
all gifts of God, to be used by man
according to Gods law, natural and
revealed. OF course. such a use en-
braces both the actual employment
of the things in question and their
renunciation. How far the use will
consist in the one or the other de-
pends upon the conditions and cir
cumstances of the individual user.
We may say, though, that renuncia-
ton must be more general than en-
ployment. For many it is absolutely
necessary; for the majority it must
always have its place. After the lit
tie that may be useful has been TAX
en-. the will must say to the appetite:
mo more!" This is the human use
of strong drink. 1t is the meritori-
GUS Christian use. That Of the Pro-
hibitionist is not so.
If Prohibition is one extreme, we
must not forget that there is an
other. II would rather see England
free than England SOBER" cried the
famous Bishop of Peterborough, DR..
Magee, in the House of Lords; and
in saying this he gave expression to
the common idea that all temperance
legislation is an infringement on per-
sonal lib berty. AS has been pointed
out in these columns more than once,
civil authority is obliged to help its
subjects to live according to order:
and one has need of very little exper-
ience to see that very large num-
Der of men and women will not OBJ
serve order in the matter of drink
unless the civil power comes to their
aid. A reasonable legislation in this
matter, therefore, is no infringement
of liberty. but is rather. as was shown
last week, its protection. That legis-
lation is reasonable which, while it
does not take away freedom of will,
makes the election Of what is right
easy instead Of difficult.

Napoleon Bonaparte attempted,
with more or less success, to re-

a time succeeded, but Teddy has far
eclipsed him in map revision, and

graphical exploits in South America
and the discovery of the river which
he has named in his honor Rio Teo-

Teddy will put them in the Anannias

COUNCIL To
CON TEST
BUDGET
Hot Fight Brewing on Apportion-
ments Made in Secret, With
Committee Standing Pat.

Having completed the new budget
in secrecy, members of the Council
Finance Committee announced Sat-
urday that no official information as
to what it contains will be given out
until the meeting of Council Monday
afternoon, and that then every effort
will be made to pass it without de-
lay.
Leading members of Council who
are not members of the Finance Com
mittee are planning to block this
course. They will demand that cop
les of the budget be furnished to
each member of Council and that the
meeting be adjourned for week that
all may fully understand what the
budget contains. And the opposition
force is sufficiently strong to get its
demands granted.
Outsiders in ignorance.
So little Of the plan on which the
budget is made is known by the out
side officials that they are reluctant
to comment on it. All they will say
is that they will thoroughly investi-
gate it before permitting its passage.
Mayor Woodward praises It, and
Chairman w. G. Humphrey and the
other members of the Finance Com
mittee believe it will prove satisfac-
tory to all.
After all the departments were pro-
vided for, the Finance Committee
found itself forced to anticipate $135,-
600 increase in the city's revenue in
order to provide for any new i'm
provements at all. That gave a to-
tai of $4,000 for new projects.
New Projects Set Forth.
Some of the most important ones
not already mentioned are:
Widening the Bottle neck" OF
Peachtree street and improving
Spring and West Peachtree streets.
To widen West Mitchell street, to
pave Cherokee avenue and extend the
improvement OF Georgia avenue.
To complete the Butler street and
Highland avenue sewers.
New fire engine house for Eighth
Ward
Such Improvements as the building
of a nurses dormitory at the Grady
Hospital, the erection of an English
Commercial Girls High School
building and other fire engine houses
and new schoolhouses were left out.
The whole Finance Committee has
pledged itself to support the budget,
but It will be up against one Of the
stiffest fights any committee has
faced in years to get II through.
