In the Washington Times, June L
read with some surprise letter from
correspondent indicating that the idea
Of the AnEelus which is to be started
in Washington June 2. was originated
in Jacksonville. Fla.
In order to keep records straight l
ask YOU to print the following procla-
nation by Mayor W. A Vandergrift.
mayor OF Pomona. Cal, March % 1913:
ITO the Citizens Of Pomona: Owing
to the fact that we are now engaged
in the greatest war OF modern history.
and that many OF our boys are at the
front ready to lay down their lives II
need be for the cause Of liberty and
right. IT has been suggested that We
pause for a brief moment In our busy
life and offer silent prayer for our
President and our boys
Il, therefore, would earnestly request
that all the bells Of the different
churches and schools be rung at Il o'clock
each day for the period Of one minute,

and that all business and traffic be
suspended. and that each individual
cease whatever labor he or she may be
doing, and give a thought and a silent
prayer for the safe return OF our boys
and for the cause we hold deIr-tho
cause Of right and humanity.
(Signed) Wv. A. VANDERBILT

My Dear Mrs. Treher: Your very
kind letter received with sincere
thanks. not only for your kind words,
but for giving me the suggestion which
caused the beautiful thought to be put
in force. not only In our own city, but
we hope all over the United states.

might be much excuse for them,
but it is not; it is simply an in
tense aversion to being sup
planted.
Jealousy also enters largely into
it, but it is not the jealousy of
love. It 10 the jealousy of pride.
Another reason that it is IN
fair to make such requests is that
we have no right to force, through
sentiment, a promise which it is
almost impossible to keep.
Love, thank goodness, can come
to most Of US more than once in a
lifetime.
If we treat our dear ones we'll
while they are with US, showing
them every loving kindness and
attention, there is no crime in put
ting someone in their place after
death.
Some people are so constituted
that they would find it absolutely
impossible to marry a second time;
they are the ones to whom the
light of living goes out with the
dear one.
But there are some men and
women who simply cannot live
alone. and it is not fair to ask
them to.
Would not the woman who asks
her husband never to marry much
prefer seeing him comfortable and
cared for by some good woman
than wandering disconsolated
about, seeking amusement where
he should not and deteriorating
generally?
The thing to do is to make the
very most of your married life
while it is yours, but do not exact
a promise which will not be kept
in the spirit, even if it is in the
letter, and which will make vour
memory a curse instead of a bless
ing.
should like to hear from my
readers on this subject Address
your letters to me at The Times
office.

kHn ROMISE me that you will
not marry again; that
you will never put any
one in my place" That is the re-
quest which is frequently made by
men and women on their dying
beds. The question is, has anyone
the right to ask Of another such an
enormous request as this may turn
out to be?
Human love is not the growth Of
human will, and the dying hus-
band or wife who makes a request
that the one left shall never marry
again is asking more than any one
has a right to.
Assuming that a man and wom-
an have lived happily together, is
that any reason why the one left
should be tied down to a life of
loneliness?
1t is selfish to ask, "Be sad and
lonely always in memory of our
happiness"
Would it not be much better to
say: when l am gone, do not
mourn too long; find someone who
will love and comfort you. / can
not bear to think of you all alone
and unhappy"
When a man or woman marries
again 1t does not mean that the
first mate is forgotten. It simply
means that someone else has come
into the bereaved ones life; some
one who may not be quite as dear
as the loved one who has gone be-
fore. but still someone who can
bring a little light and happiness
into the sorrowing soul.
Would it be human nature not
to desire to put out your hand and
seize that chance of happiness
You can make a request that
your husband or wife shall not
marry again, and the request may
be complied with, but all the re-
quests in the world won't keep
love out, and what does the rest
matter?

Scion Fieldman, Temper
ance Advocate, Says Au-
tocracy Thinks for People
Breweries Attacked
Senator Jones, Dry, Declares
Low Moral Standard of Teu-
tons Is Result of Drink

Germany was pointed to by speakers
on both sides of debate on "Prohibi-
tion VS.. Temperance" at Carnegie Hall!
last night as a horrible example of the
evil effects of each doctrine. Solol
Fieldman, Of the American Temperance
Forum, declared that the .coercive gov
ernmental policy of the Hohenzolle ms
alone was responsible for Teut on
frightfulness. Any attempt to curb the
individual freedom of the moderate
drinker in America, he said, would tie
similarly disastrous. Senator Wesley
L. Jones, of Washington, the prohiDi-
zionist advocate, dissented. asserting
that the low standards of German
morality were entirely due to the 'let
alone" temperance policy advocated by
Mr.. Fieldman.
"The essence of the temperance doc
trine is, Let man do the best he can;
damn the weak, the strong will take
care of themselves, said Senator
Jones. "This is the attitude of the bru-
tai Hun to-day. We're going to strike
it down in this country with the ballot
and in Germany with bullets
"The entire question is whether we're
to have Prussianism or Americanlsm, y
said Mr.. Fieldman. "The human race
has developed knowledge through the
exercise of choice-by learning to dis
criminate between good and evil. There
never has been a time in history when
man has been prevented from exerc;s-
ing his right to choose that he has not
been forced into revolution to cstab-
lish anew the principle of self -determi-
nation.
"Prohibition represents the sort of
thing we are fighting against to-day.
Prohibition does not reach the mind.
1t suspends the judgment of the in
dividual. Prohibition makes hypo-
critics and develops the sneak that
hides in the cellar. 1t fosters lawless-
ness and results in crime. Wat is
necessary is the reorganization of the
entire industry of liquor manufacture
so as to make liquors fit for human
consumption. Let US have temples of
temperance, where we can take our
wives and children and partake in mod
Grafton and amid the pleasures of So
cial intercourse"
Senator Jones. replying to the OBJ
lection that prohibition would inter
ferc with individual freedom, pointed
out that the temperance interests ia
vored prohibition of the manufacture
of distilled liquors.
Attacking the brewery interests as
"unscrupulous if not unpatriotic," Sen
ator Jones quoted from "The Brewers

the necessity for "arousing the masses"
was emphasized.

Long Island Man Insists Slim

The round robin of denials, refu-
;ations and accusations anent the
prohibition controversy continues
with unmitigated and, in most cases,
with uncompromising vigor in this,
the ninth instalment of opinions
presented by The Tribune to it's
readers. Though many contributors
are stolidly unyielding in their advo-
cacy of bone dry prohibition, there
are those who see many virtues in
moderation, which, they point out,
Euripides has crowned "the noblest
gift of Heaven" Of the latter Is
numbered Ivan Beckett, of New
York City, who is of the opinion
that every honest champion cannot
help but see the advantages of re-
tanning wines and beer in the solu-
tion of the liquor problem. He says:
II wonder whether you would care to
apportion little space for the views
of self-confessed moderate drinker
1--WE moderate drinkers have no fer
vent orators to plead our cause How
ever, despite our lack of belligerency
We are really Il very important body.
We drink 95 per cene of all the liquor
manufactured. We are the central fig
urcs of this tragedy, or comedy, which
ever it is. We are equally bewildercd
by those who attack US and those who
defend us.
when Andrew D. Wood, assistant
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League, quoting the words of a little
child, says, Mother, we have had a
good time since father quit drinking,'
we begin to think that after all, per
haps, We are pretty poor lot of trash,
because it may be that we moderate
drinkers are largely responsible for the
heavy drinkers. and nobody dislikes
hard drinkers more than we.
But wait. On the same page with
Mr.. Woods story we read DR.. Edson's
analysis of the whole question. In his
judgment prohibition had more to do
with the wreck of Russia than any
other cause He thinks Germany will
roll in the booze and Russia will
