farm work then indoor labor could be provided.
 Some such plan has been success fully tried in Massachusetts and other states.
 This measure is advocated by the Board of Charities and Correction, by judges of police court, by many or our prosecuting attorneys, by report of recent special commissioners, and by a large number of clergy of all denominations. It has been most generously advocated by various news papers of the state, who realize the failure of the present system and believe in the possibility of improve ment.
 "A bill similar to the one to be in- troduced was passed unanimously by both houses in 1913, but failed to receive the governors signature. The only objection to the bill is the ex- pense. The cry of economy will be raised for both good reasons and bad.
 'I presume the bill will call for not more than S50,000 and surely that will be a small sum to risk for such worthy object, considering the inn mense waste of the present system.
 ''The mem bers of this union, I am sure, can greatly help this good cause. Make it your immediate duty to see your senator and representatives and ask them to support this measure. Write letters to them and send in petitions. Let the cry be a state Farm for Inebriates in 1915"
 Union Adopts Resolution.
 After Judge Warmers address the union adopted a set of resolutions urging local senators and representa- lives to support the bill soon to come before them to establish the state farm for inebriates. Dr. T. Edwin Brown offered the closing prayer.
 The next gathering of the union will be Sunday evening, February [, Christian Endeavor Day) when union service will be held at the South church.
 Dr. Hill will preach a sermon on Christian Endeavor."
 There will be a special musical pro- gram.

 President Arthur Parker introduced Rev. E. T. Thienes as toastmaster and he called upon the visitors for few remarks. Judge Warner then gave the following address:
 Pleads for State Farm.
 Il am very glad indeed to speak in this church. Your pastor, Rev. MT. Maier, at the great state convention at New Haven elaborated splendidly the keynote of ChrstianS Endeavor work for this year: The Kings Busi- ness Is Our Business. I wish to speak tonight upon a branch of our business which has been very seri- ously neglected. The subject of my talk briefly stated is State Farm for inebriates I do not wish to be harsh or abusive in describing any in dividual whom we chara cterize by the title, Drunkard,' but I do find it very difficult to speak pleasantly about him. He is such an unnecessary grievance. He is so Obtrusive in his manners, he is so impudent in his be- havior, I am out of patience with him. I feel sometimes that the public OOGS not Iuliy unueISIan0 nm. TO be sure he is wilfully wicked and de- lberately indulges bad appetite, but he is also a willing victim of a bad system of law. Our absurd police court and jail procedure educates him to become a 'rounder.' He should be so treated as to save him from him. self. He must quit drinking. l ap- peal from the drunkard. drunk, to the same man sober. 1 plead for a home for him outside of the jail, which he shall earn for himself by , honest toll. l plead for helpful firm and even severe refOrmatory treat
 ment. 1 plead for order and quiet in public places. I plead for the right of sober men. women and children to ride on our trolley and steam cars without being disturbed Or insulted by Grunkards. In short l plead for a square deal between the sober man and the 'rounder.'
 In prose and poetry jails are dread = ed; they are summed and any one would suppose that all people would try to keep out of them, but all this is changed so far as the "rounder'' is concerned. The jail is his most com fortable home, and he likes to be there and frequently commits some offense on purpose to be sent up for
 a short term and be taken care of by sober men. Our jails are not Man

upon several other officers and while he was being showed into the patrol he sunk his teeth deep into Special Officer Kennedy's coatsleeve and bit and snarled like q dog. Judge Will liam F. Mangan fined Daigle s5 for evading payment of his carfare and sent him back to jail for fifteen days for breach of the peace.
 Conductor Parkinson testified that he asked Daigle for his ticket several times and when none was forthcom- ing he told him he'd have to pay thirty-three cents to- ride to New Brit ain. Later Daigle told him he was going to Bristol. "All right, fifty-five cents then" said the conductor. Daigle took out seventy-five cents and exhibited it to the conductor and then put it back in his pocket. He told the court that he had a ticket but did not know where 1t went.
 John Meecker, who halls from Bos- ton, was found sleeping off drunk at the depot by Officer Charles Grace last night. Officer Grace asked him where he was going and he replied that he was waiting for the first train to hell. The judge sent him to the Hartford county jail for thirty days instead?

drunkards. The county jail in Con necticut with few exceptions cannot prove that 1t is useful or profitable either to the state of the convict. Brief terms of imprisonme or fine and costs neither punish or reform anybody. There is no classification, of prisoners, no method of education. Juvenile offenders are permitted to associate with hardened criminals and come out worse then they go in In- stead of jails being houses of correc- tion they may may be called houses of corruptions. Four fifths probably of all the inmates of our county iails are there for drunkenness or allied of lenses It is one of the most astound- ing elements of neglect on the part of town and city authorities that any class of men are permitted to get drunk and exhibit themselves in pub lie. The drunken loafer has better food and better care in jail than many a sober working man, outside. There is no such thing as personal liberty to do wrong but the drunkard defies laws of both God and man. He is really in effect, both a suicide and a murderer. He is killing himself hy his conduct and neglect he frequently III uIuSIS HIS WIle dIlU CnllQTGn- inc cry all over the United States just now is Safety First" This cry needs an ad- ditional phrase Sober First The public never will be safe until all hands are sober.
 Wants Saloonless Nation.
 Your city has voted to establish within it's borders we will say sixty saloons, that is, to set up in your com munity what Hogarth would call Beer Street or 'Whskey Alley or Gin Lane, every one of them a place of temptation For these sixty licenses the state and town get about $25, ,000, but every dollar of license calls for $2O from the people, so that your people contribute at least $5O0,- 900 to the saloon interest annually What do you get for this princely sum? Sooner or later a big crop of drunkards, more or less crime, many ruined lives and homes. I defy any one to show one good thing helped by the saloon. Rally to the national slogan, "A saloonless nation in 1920.'
 We will surely close the saloons pretty soon, but meanwhile we should take care of the drunkards already made and there are a large number of them, perhaps 2,000 OF 5000 in the whole state Nobody knows exactly how many there are.

900; loss in wages 1 900 inmates of jail at $500, s5O0,OOO, making a total of $S65,000 worse than wasted an- nually.
 This police court system raises up a distinct class of 'rounders.' The worst case I know of is man confine ed in a Connecticut county jail on re- peated sentences since May 1878. Thirty-fve years in jail for drunk en- ness!
 We have ten jails in Connecti- cut and this population Is about 1000 at any given date. The state pays about 125, ,0OO for the board of the prisoners, but has no voice in the management. The income for the labor of our principal jails, Hartford and New Haven county is an average of eight or ten cents day. Think of it! Imagine a system which dis poses of the labor in these counties of over 600 men for the paltry sum of eight or ten cents a day. Can any new system be less profitable than that?
 But this money loss is not the worst feature of our jail system. The worst@ feature is that the system does not and cannot in any way reform the imprisoned man. No attempt is made to get him to change his mind, to make him determine to keep sober and earn his own living by steady work There is d way to save both men and money and the proposition l favor is to establish a state farm for these "Drunkards,' to which they can be committed for long term, say 3 or years with possible parole at the end of a year. Locate this farm in the vicinity of some large city which will furnish a market for the farm produce and enable the au- thorities to obtain trade teachers who could easily devote small part of their day to teaching at the state farm.

Police Court Is Absurd.

1T spoke of our absurd system of police court procedure. Years anl years ago we abolished Imprisonment for debt but how much different is the action of our courts which sends a man who has been drunk to jail because he cannot pay fine. He is imprisoned not because ne is guilty of drunkenness, but because he is noor. Connecticut shows about 2,00O such cases annually.
 From the best information l can get there are 2,000 prosecutions for drunkenness a month, 24,00O year, at a cost of $10 each, making $24O,- 900; board paid by the state, $125,-
