 Editorial
 To the Editor of the New Britain
 Herald,
 Dear Sir:
 l sincerely appreciate the attcn- ton you have given my sermon which was delivered last Sunday evening. Also, that although you differ with me, you believe that my sermon contained the statement of my honest beliefs. However, in your editorial under inc caption Liquor and Christianity appearing in the Wednesday evening edition of the Herald there are some statements that call for reply.
 You say, that my sermon is an Illustration Of Amusing cNplana- lions and dcuctions of and from various matters" Just what in the sermon do you refer to? If that is explained we may be able to dis cuss that further.
 Mr. Editor, knowing that you are a man of mature mind and being well posted on things pertaining to our national affairs, what do you mean when you speak of the Vol stead act and the 18th amendment | being adopted 'by some hook or | CroOk?" It cannot be that you are unfamiliar with the steps taken be- 1 fore this amendment became a part 1 of our constitution? First the con- l gross passed the resolution submit | ting the same to the states, Second l ly, every state legislature voted on | it, and let me say here. that it was ! purely q wet and dry issue" in 1 every state when the people voted ! for the states legislators who were i afterwards to vote on the resolution. i From the states 1t again passed to 1 the congress and senate. from there 1 10 the president and latter 10 the l United States supreme court. Every 1 where receiving d large majority and hearty support. And this you call. l Mr. Editor, q hook and crook | method.

\ WET SENATOR FROM MASSACHJ SETTS

There seems to be much of DOT tent in the tenor Of a special article from Washington carried the other day in the Springfield Union tell ing of the visit to Washington by Louis A. Liggett, Republican nation al committeeman from Massachu- setts to the nations capital. While there he had conferences with the President and with all members Of Congress from Massachusetts. When he got through he served what amounts to an ultimatum on Massa chusetts Republicans calling upon them to nominate a wet for the seat which Senator Gillette is vacating. Tt will be difficult to elect a dry, he said.
 The situation in Massachusetts is easily understood by anyone fla milar with the elementary rules of politics. The majority boiled in favor of repeal of the 18th Amend ment at a referendum vote was some 2S4,0O0. The committeeman un- doubtedly believes that the Repub- lican party could not hold itself to- gcther with dry candidate in the field in the face of such wet scnti- ment. He feels that there would be enough lesertcrs from the ranks to vote for and elect q Democratic wet. He figures that about 95 per cent Of the registration votes al the primaries and that most of these voters are ury in sentiment. There fore it is quite possible to nomin- ate a dry-to ios- at the election
 IL win he interesting, i. this at- utude is maintained, 10 watch the primary developments. particularly if both wet and dry candidates are ] in the field for nomination. Win th" normal 95 per cent put party above . belief and nominate a wet candidate in ordcl. To gain the election? Or will they s,tcl, and will an unusually large number O. wet sympathizers appear 10 override them@ If 90 what will the orys do at election time. Patiently they will not vote the other ticket as the Democratic nominee will presumably be wet
 In oh,r states the same question. not as acute us in Massachusetts jus, yct, wU sooner or later de- yyJop. Gradually party lines as we have known them NjU wear donr and Haaqprar there being none Of the disruemshu2 principles to brand Democrat or a Republican.

I believe you arc sincere in this your belief and l do not wish to make any implication whatsoever that your views are Fanatic" that is demon possessed" l do believe and preach, that religion should act as an inspiration. so that a desire is fostered in the heart. of the indi- ridual to want to do the right re- gardless of rules or laws, but, there are times when religion backed up by law must restrain individuals from doing certain things tbey look at as "personal liberty" What would be the condition of our nation and our communities if everyone could do as they pleased? Heaps of ire is thrown upon the churches and upon the ministers, and they arc repeat cdly told hands off" But would you. Mr. Editor. live and raise your family m community void of churches?
 To those of the readers who have sent "smutty" articles and letters I have no reply, as none of you have revealed who you arc. To those who have offered their thanks and given assurance of support, to you l feel deeply thankful.

THE TARIFF ON LEATHER

A demonstration of the unsound- ness of tariff as a national political issue was staged in Washington Wednesday when the proposal 10 put a tax on hides and leather, here tofore on the free list, came up for debate in the Senate. Senator Oddie, Republican, of Nevada brought the matter before the upper house of Congress through a bill destined to charge for entry into this country duty of from 12I3 10 90 per cent on feathers and 20 per cent on shoes, A vote on the bill is imminent. may have been passed by this time but that does not effect the little lesson on tariff that was taught.
 Senator Oddie is from Nevada, where cattle are raised and hides are sold. He is q Republican, but that is not pertinent, he probably is much averse to a tariff on manu- factured articles. practically none or which come from Nevada. Howell of Nebraska another Republican and Bratton. Of New Mexico, Democrat, took up the burden Of argument, though they were not so anxious about a high tariff on shoes, wanting more than 10 per cent duty on hides but being perfectly willing to let the workers Of hides into shoes, which are not made out west, so whistle for protection.
 Then Senator Goldsborough, Re publican, from Maryland where many hides are tanned, and Sena- tor Hawes, Democrat, from St. Louis where they make shoes, op- posed a duty on hides. Of course they did, why not? Hawes claimed that he had been informed that the Odde rate on hides would increase fhe cost of shoes approximately 9 cents pair. The shoe bill Of New York city alone, he claimed, would be increased S, 400. 900 a year. He did not mention New Britain. but we gather from figures for other cities that our bill would be increas- cd some s65,000 a year Which would just about pay our Com munity Chest budget.
 The point of it all is that there are as many divergent views ol what should be taxed by tariff and what should not as there arc sec lions of the country producing diff ferent articles or products. And when it comes 10 a matter Of pro- tecting ones own section and not protecting the other fellows il makes little difference whether inc Republican or Democratic tag is or the representative. Whereupon the tariff as a national issue fails, nc party can make promises to cover he entire country. We're just moi built that way.

AVIATION AND Pt BIItIIN

Aviation interests arc said 10 dis like the newspapers. It is the press hat makes known tn. fatalities in aviation accidents. Therefore the press is jo bc condemned accord- ing to this species Of thought.

PROGRESS IN THE VETERANS
 HOSPITAL

Our Washington correspondent informs us that the government has decided to open the bids for the proposed Veterans hospital at Newington on January Soth. Thus the neighboring town will be a step nearer to the realization Of an am bition created some time ago when it was known that a new hospital was to be erected in this vicinity. The placing of a million dollar gov ernment institution in com- munity is and should be welcomed. It will prove an asset to the town as well as a great convenience to the veterans who live near it and who arc in need Of disqualification be- cause of wounds or illness incurred in service.
 If memory serves us right New Britain veterans joined with those Of Newington in presenting arguments for the establishment in this vicinity. Their efforts were evidently effective as the decision of the Army board awarded what was sought.
 The government moves slowly and it will probably be some time before construction work is started, longer yet, of course. before the plant is finished, outftted and manned. But. of surety there will be q modern government institution in Ncwingt on before too long.
 Whereupon NcWinston, and New Britain, are to be congratulated

Taking up your points in order- Without again consulting the text of your sermon the impression of the writer is that you seemed to have dcduced that prohibition was really prohibiting. That was amusing. Really we referred to general re- marks made from time 10 time by roformers-a case in point is the statement publicly made by one New Britainite that he attended the Vale Army football game and "saw no drinliing.'
 The writer was abroad during the
 events preliminary to the enforce ment of prohibition and in posi- ton where he neither had the time
 nor the opportunity to study poii-
 ties. There were few hundred thousand male voters spending their time abroad about then. The reform group. aided by individuals swayed by wartime hystcria forced through Congress and the states the adoption of the amendment. without taking the trouble to consult the voters
 who were abroad defending the country from a far more serious danger than the liquor evil as to
 their wishes. The phrase 'by hook
 or crook" expresses much or little. 1 There are many of us still wonder 1 ing what happened By hook or crook expresses our confusion.
 We are not so far off on the qucs- | ton discussed in the fourth para 1 graph. However, the writer would i just as soon live in a community without churches if those churches i rcsorted to force of law to make the members of the community obey 1 their dictates. That is the principle upon which the United States was 1 founded. The writer is glad to move | in the company Of God-fearing per
 sons. secure in their belief and proud to share it with others, in 1 church or out, and hOnors their l opinions, whatever their creed, He ! cnvics the serenity which comes 10
