Bro. Axe, of the Ironton Reg.

Bro. Axe, of the Ironton Reg
is sr says:
oppose Prohibition, not be-
cause of it's immediate effect up
on me, but for the reason that it
is a long step toward legal des-
potism. If the majority, to save
me from myself in the matter of
the Incorporate use of beer,
wine, etc, may enact statutory
pains and penalties, where will
you call a halt in restriction of
individual liberty?
This is the favOrite argument
on which the liquor traffic bases
it's rights for perpetuation. not
that we believe Bro. AXE to be a
particular friend of the traffic,
however. In prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of liquor,
the friends of prohibition are not
seeking to restrain individual
liberty, but individual license, in
in the exercise of which the indi-
vidual makes himself a nuisance
and menace to society. In re-
straining by statutory enact
ment the right of the individual
to consume intoxicating liquor,
we go no farther than we have
gone in the right of res training
him from the use Intoxicating
drugs, or in his pistol toting
habit. Legal restrain t
in these things is founded on the
principle that the claims of soci
ETY. are larger than the claims of
the individual, and when the
majority decides on such re-
straint for the greatest good to
the greatest number the indivi-
dual must submit, or else we
must confess to the rule of anar-
chy.

A news item in the current number of

ment of 1900 sponges OF a fine grade
arrived at Mobile, Ala. from the coast
Of Honduras. The fact that this coast
has extensive sponge-fishing possibilities
either had been practically unknown or
ignored until a Greek sponge-fisher from
the Mediterranean Sea happened along
during the latter part Of last year. With
about three weeks fishing he gathered
enough for the shipment alluded to. and
now Honduras Is going to add another

Dead Financier's Inheritance.
This total profit Of ss50.265.12 Cbeing
at the average rate of s17,5oo per year,
is, as aforesaid, the net result to our
firms of all OF our transactions with the
New Maven and its allied companies
during the twenty-year period just
ended. We have not received from the
New Haven or from the companies af-
filiated with II, any compensation OIL
profit in any form, or on any other ac-
count, than those herewith described.
Answering your specific inquiry, We
beg to state that none of our firms.
nor any member Of them, ever had any
interest in any properties. such as the
Westchester. the steam railways. the
trolley lines, or the steamship COM
panies acquired by the New Haven
Company or any Of its subsidiary COM
panies. This broad statement has only
one exception, the details of which are
as follows:
Mr. ]. p. Morgan, senior, inherited
1,e2a shares of stock OF the South Bay
Wharf and Terminal Company (being
somewhat less than one-tenth of the
whole), from his father. in 1890. Sew
enteen years later. in January. 1907,
he was asked to exchange this stock
for S14 shares of New Haven stock,
and complied with the request. You
may be interested in reading copy
herewith of a letter under date of jan
uary 81. 1906. addressed to him by Mr..
J. c. Cobb, explaining the method pro-
posed for arriving, through outside
appraisal. at a fair price to the New
Haven in the matter. From this you
will note that not only was Mr.. Nor
gan's interest small, but that the
transaction was carried through with
out participation by him.

tions in regard to this company.
