HINT FOR FAIRnloNT.

r-HE following editorial based upon remarks of
i Bishop Manning. and published by the New
York Times is full of sound sense and truth Com
ing from church man who IS not an enthusiast
for prohibition and written for newspaper that
has always thrown its influence for the wet forces,
the editorial gains fresh punch 1t renects the
opinion Of the public upon regard for prohlbitlon
law and the truth OF the effect of prohibition now
noticeable in pu conditions. In its strong insist
ance upon law obedience, West Nirsnians Will
heartily concur.
Obey the Law.
"Bishop Manning's remarks about prohibition are
doubIy effective because he has never been pro
hbitonist and has no personal or moral objection
to moderate drinking. Yet he believes from m
formation coming HIM from many trustworthy
sources that prohibition is already resulting in i'm
proved conditions, both morally and practically in
the lives and homes of people; and he be-
reves, partly from observation in the army, that
prohibition properly enforced will make US a
healthier stronger and better people, With these
opinions many disagree. But there can be only
one opinion of the Bishops assertion of the
supremacy of law and the duty of every citizen
to obey it:
Prohibition is now the law of our land Those
who disapprove this law have the right to DO SO
and 10 work lawful ways for its repeal But
no citizen has the right to evade or disobey this
law. and no one OF US can do this without grave
harm to himself and the life of our country
1t is asserted continued the Bishop-and the
assertion is true-that this law is widely disre-
garded and especially by those whose wealth and
position in the community give them greatest IN
huence. To whatever extent this is true, II IS a
matter OF he utmost seriousness and of deepest
corncern' 1t is to be hoped that the Bishop S
admonition will be pondered by those Immaculate
ly respectable persons who regard the breaking OF
the prohibition laws the most delightful OF

-Our talk about Aguinaldo and

10 my mind two other remarkable
occasions Of a somewhat similar na-
ture.
Take tho occasion OF Premier

was a general IN the Boer Army. and
for years was one OF the bitterest
enemies that the British Empire had
in South Africa. General Smuts.
like all the other Boers, was at first
clearly disappointed when Great
Britain defeated them IN the war
and forced them 70 remain as part
OF the British Empire. But when
they saw that the British Govern
ment meant 20 give them an oppor-
tunity to establish q dominion that
was as self-governing as Canada or
Australia. General SHUTS and others
laid aside their opposition to Great
Britain and Joined IN the new work
Since then. General SHUTS has been

people and among the English peo-
pie but throughout the entire world
