CARlINAL GIBBONS RAPS
PROHIBITION LAW |
Means an Invasion of the Home,
Says Head Of Catholic Church
in United States.

Baltimore, Jan. 2i.--Cardinal Gibbons
yesterday presented an argument against
Prohibition which the friends of liquor,
properly restricted, hope will be read IN
every part of the world where govern
ments are interested in the problem OF the
manufacture and sale of wines and liquors
In his statement Cardinal Gibbons ad-
vocates, IN substitution for an unjust law,
strict regulation ~ govern manufacture
and sale. The statement was only mace
public after careful thought, and rs not a
part of any fight that may be made In
Washington against the dry amendment.
II have always been in favor ot strict
regulations of the manufacture ana sale
of liquor, instead of absolute Pro Ibition,
said the Cardinal, because by strict
regulation the liberty Of individuals is
preserved. whereas by Prohibition we face
regulations which in the long run cannot
be corrected. An early result OF Pro
hibition will I've the secret and illicit manu-
facttrc and sale of bad liquor, whereby
the government will he deprived of n
large revenue besides being put TO enor-
nous expense III the employment OF
agents 90 enforce the law. Moreover, IN
the carrying out Of the law, sec also An
invasion Of the home, which up To now
all men have agreed is sacred and holy
place. These agents may enter our homes
with the violence of burglars and the
immunity of officers Of tho law.
TO me IL is very strange that after
1000 years mon should pass legislation
which strikes OF the very fundamentals OF
the Christian religion viii not the Pro
hihition ia the manufacture and sale OF

tian religion? We have 10000 Cat OLE
