 On December 30, 1918, he became pastor of the Church of Our Lady Of Mercy. succeeding the late Rev. H. T. Walsh. He has served con- tinuously in this capacity for the past II years and has seen his par ish grow almost amazingly under his careful guidance. The parish is in splendid financial condition.

Taft Address

New Haven, March 20 (UP)- William Howard Taft urged support of prohibition as a contribution to national safety in the 1923 Yale commencement speech to which his brother, Horace Taft of Watertown, referred in testifyins at Washington yesterday that the former president and chief justice was not a wet.
 "I was opposed to it (the 18th amendment.) said Taft. "I felt 1t was sumptuary legislation-hard to cnforce-that it would enlarge the duties of the central government, already too burdencd. xx but the vote was against me and those who felt as l did. Now that the law is there I claim to play the game" Taft said the "rcal issue was the significance of breaking down the law by those who know the foundation principles of such a gov ornment as OUTS"
 Ut tends to make violations of all laws" Taft added.
 Taft's speech mentioned no per sonal opinion regarding the merits of prohibition.

Drys Near Close

Washington, March 20 (R - The organized dry forces of the nation today approached the conclusion of their staunch defense of prohibition in the house judiciary committees hearings on proposals for the repeal of the 18th amendment
 The appearance of one witness, Daniel C. Roper. former internal revenue commissioner, and the reading of two prepared statements comprised the program for today.
 Mrs. Lena Lowe Yost, legislative chairman of the national associa- ton of organizations supporting the i1Sth amendment was chosen to read a statement from Irving Fisher. economist, of Yale university, and Deets Pickett of the Board Of Temperance, Prohibition and Pub lie Morals was prepared to sub- init a statement from Dr. Clarence True Wilson, general secretary of the board.
 Daniels Ons stand /
 Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy under President Wilson, ap- pcared late yesterday and urged that prohibition be given trial period of at least 8 century. He asserted that if enforcement cost the government s3O0,000,00O 8 year it would still save the country s300,- 000,o00,000 annually in the cost of liquor.
 He asserted that prohibition had but one alternative, the return of the open saloon. and expressed ob- light wines and beer and to gov crnment sale. The vets, he said, have no workable substitute for the dry laws.
 The drys also made public a brief prepared by Dr. $. E. Nichol- son. chairman of the national board of the Society of the Friends Of Prohibition and Public Morals, sug- gestng remedies for present condi- | lions. The statement has not been accepted by the committec. He proposed the immediate trans fer of the prohibition unit from the treasury to the justice department, keeping efficient prohibition admin istrators at definite posts, urging the states to cnlven enforcement and urging observance and enforce mcnt upon the people.

i hundred years and made a miscr- able failure of it.
 Every one states he is opposed 10 the return of the saloon. However, any lcgalized place to sell liquor will serve tho same purpose as the ! saloon-a place to buy intoxicating liquors.
 Tt is unfortunate that certain people of standing by example fur violation."
 Yost's views were in line with those recently presented by ,anoth- CT veteran coach of the Western Conference, Alonzo Stagg, for more than a quarter of century con- nected with the athletic department of Chicago university. After the telegram was submit ted, Daniel c. Roper of South Caro- lima, a former commissioner of in ternai revenue took the stand. Until the recent establishment of a sep arate bureau for prohibition, en- forcement of the dry Jaw was under Jurisdiction of the commissioner of internal revenue.
 Roper who makes his home in Washington, was author of the bill establishing the South Carolina dis pensary system. The dispensary law became effective July l. 1893.
 Stills Under Old System AS an outgrowth of the system. he said, blind tigers and 'moonshine stills" sprang up and the liquor deal CTS resisted the enforcement. The law compelled sale of liquor of spc- cif1ed quality and in packages.
 He praised former Governor Ben jamin F. Tillman for trying 10 en- force the law until he had reached decision that it was q failure. He quoted from the governors s message to the legislature to en- force the law, and then gave the former governor credit for aiding in bringing about it's repeal. Roper said the system had proved
 
 had not improved conditions but made them Worsc,' he testified, however, there were many mcritori = ous phases to the law. Tillman, he went on. had been leader Of the state political reform movement and that no cause ever had d more forceful or more con- 1 scicntious proponent and defender as long as he thought the system was defcnsible.
 Did Sunday Business
 Roper explained the working or blind tigers" He said dispensaries had closed in accordance with the law at nightfall and remained clos- cd during the night and on Sun- days, while the blind tigers re- mained open all night and Sunday
 The hope. he added, that repu- , table men, who would retain public confidence. could be secured to con- duct the dispensaries proved dsap. pointing.
 The belief grew that the man agcment of the dispensary had de. generated into a graft machine, u5- ing every effort to increase sales and make profits" he added. "Thu result was a greater consumption of liquor"
 Furthermore. he said, an invcsti- Gation revealed q member of thy state board had made q purchase ot $ l25.000 worth of liquor without regard to the law and it was shown the state was dcfraudcd out of large amounts.
