Archbishop Puts
Ban On Support
! For Prohibition
fRv Associated Press,1


Milwaukee. June 25.-Archbishop
S. G. Messmer has sent pastoral
letter to all clergymen of his diocese
in which he forbids them assisting
in prohibition propaganda. The let
ter, in part, follows: i,
1T becomes more evident from
day to day that there is a strong
sectarian power back of the present
prohibition movement. We may not
deny that many Catholics, priests
among them, are actuated by good
motives and acting in good faith in
this matter. But they fail to see the
absolutely false principle underlying
the movement and the sinister work
of the enemies of the Catholic
church, trying to profit by this OPP
portunity OF attacking her.
ION the other hand this Is a most
opportune time to preach on the
Catholic virtue Of temperance, ex-
horting every one to pra ctice true
moderation in eating and drinking
and even total abstinence from in
toxicating drinks.
Prohibition is in no sense mod
GRAFTON; yet this is the true mean
ing of the cardinal virtue Of tenn
perance."
