BILLY AND THE DRYS.
Sunday and Prohibition Good for Nor
ais and Business.

To TIE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir! Par
don a reader of THE SUN for thirty years
an expression of qualification because
OF your assumption of n fairer attitude
toward Billy Sunday and prohibition, ms
evidenced in to-day's Sun. MY busi-
ness. ! have been ION the road for
twentv-eight years, takes me into COM
munites in which BILLY Sunday has
operated. came from being rankly
prejudiced against the whole Sunday
business to a fair recognition OF the
valuable results OF his work. and I am
OF Unitarian parentage at that.
Personally I wish that BILLY would
forego any remuneration for himself.
That would be ideal But let us measure
his returns by comparison. II is stated
that he realized $4,000 a week for his
work in Philadelphia, and perhaps more
than that in Plttsburg. Would any other
artist. such as Caruso, deign to appear
for such a misery stipend? And no
other artist draws" as does Billy
Sunday.
As a plain man Of business. and a
New York business man at that. can
speak for the good results of Sundaying.
know II. and you will know II when
you investigate. ] never "hit the tran"
although 1 have attended perhaps
score of the meetings. What l do know
Is that Billy Sunday leaves n commun-
ity better. socially, commercially and
ethically, when ne goes. Take II from
me" he is ''straight."
Now az 20 this prohibition business:
We of New York have no conception of
the tendency toward prohibition west
OF the Hudson River. I think We have
been too much under the spell of the
wine agent in New York. We have
been taught TO believe that prohibition
kills business" take II from me"
again: IT'S me for the dry town for
good business. good sales and prompt
payment Ask the credit men OF our
big wholesale and jobbing houses. And
the men west of the Hudson River. the
men who elect our Presidents, Just laugh
when we argue personal liberty. I have
to-day's editorial article on Billv Sunday
clipped and will show II throughout the
West as the greatest victory Billy sun

New York City to the Constitutional
Convention.

The city Of New York asks two
things Of the Constitutional Conven.
ton. These are:
Equality OF Representation.
Equality OF Taxation.
The citizens Of this town want one
vote to count as much in the Ave
boroughs al one vote counts in the
remotest and most rural county.
The citizens Of this town want a
dollars worth Of property here to pay
no more for the support Of the State
government than does dollar Of
property in st. Lawrence county.
Are these aspirations unrea sonable?
Are they unfair?
Can they he denied on any logical
theory Of popular government?
