During the years of my priestly
activity, which have been devoted
largely to the welfare of the laboring
classes, | have come to know the part
which the liquor traffic plays in the

stranger to the results achieved by the
various means adopted for its regula-

Tuesday, will mark new advance for
clean living and personal efficiency
oihOAS Jul 1SIlOW ClClA6HS.
Let the people of the state make
formal answer whether they be willing
to continue to pay the bill run up by
booze in our courts of justice, in our
hospitals, asylums and reformatories,
often-times as direct result of liquor,
all just for the sake Of a questionable
pleasure; or whether, in the name of a
universal moral and material progress
Of society, they be not willing to put
an end to that which is the most pro-
life source of misery, crime and cor
ruption. / am confident that the peo-
pie can be trusted to give the proper
answer.
You have my best wishes for a
successful meeting and for effective
work at the same time"
