The policy Of the Government will
be to see to it that the social and
political evils that have existed in the

must remove forever from our midst the

petite, has always been q law-breaker.
The experience in Finland confirms
us in the conviction that the restric-
tions will gradually be relaxed at the
demand of the traffic and its followers,
while the consumption of all kinds Of
alcoholic liquors will increase. Already
some of the restrictions first announced
have been modified. Only as the new
laws actually result in real control and
prevent the abuses inherent in alcohol
will they stem the food Of alcoholic
liquors.
Fears Women's Drinking.
Increased consumption Is bound to
follow the campaign Of advertising,
aided by the ease by which liquor can
be purchased-if one has the money to
buy. Unfortunately many people have
not the money to buy both liquor and
food. and If they buy liquor they can
not buy food. Already some restaurants
estimate that since beer has been legal
lied their sales of coffee and desserts
have decreased 40 per cent. We stand
by the grocer, the butcher, the merchant
and shoe dealer.
But it is not men alone who will
drink. We are living in new day and
generation. Women do many things
they did not do in the pre-prohibition
era. Increased consumption Of liquor by
women means increased drunkenness
among women. No one knows when the
appetite becomes all powerful.
What will the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union do in the future?
1t was organized long before national
prohibition was ever dreamed Of 1t
sprang from the intuitive desire Of
women to protect their homes from
drink -crazed men and to prevent their
sons from being ruined by drink.
Plan Eternal Warfare.
The w. G. T. U. still believes that
total abstinance from all alcoholic
liquors is . safe rule for the individual,
and our educational work will center
around that
The program is an eternal warfare
against the use Of alcoholic liquor be-
cause 1t Is q fact, supported by scien-
tific and medical authorities, that use
leads to abuse. Alcohol is habit
forming drug, and the w. G.. T. u. will
resist every effort to increase consump-
ton. -.
The homes Of today win need pro-
lection from beth drinking men and
women.

TRENTON, N. j.. December 6.-Wet-
New Jersey, which for IL hours after
prohibition ended was legally dry, set up
at 4:30 am. today liquor control plan
which the Legislature frankly admitted
was experimental. =
Vetoed as Unconstitutional by Gov. A.
Harry Moore, the plan, first approved q
week ago today, was repassed by the
Republican majority in both houses
The vote in the Assembly to override the
veto was 80 to 81 and in the Senate
IL to 6.
Under the control law municipalities
may issue retail licenses, but . State
appeal board composed OF the Governor
and the presiding officers Of both houses
can revoke or grant licenses after hear
ing appeals OF aggrieved applicants or
interested citizens.
Commissioner Named.
The bill names d. Frederick Burnett
Newark lawyer, State commissioner at
salary Of $4,000 yearly for a seven-
year term. He will issue brewers, whole
Salers' and transportation licenses and
has power to promulgate regulations on
sales.
Gov. Moore's veto message, transmits
TED last night after Republican leaders
refused to accept his proposal to recall
the bill and amend it to meet his OBJ
jections, said the bill was returned with
out approval despite the clamor that
such action on my part may result in
some temporary confusion as to the sale
of liquor"
The Governor objected to the per-
sonnel Of the appeal board, saying no
one belonging to the legislative ana ex-
ecutife branches Of the Government
can exercise judicial functions. The
members Of the board besides himself
will be Senate President Emerson L.
Richards of Atlantic City and Speaker
Herbert j. Pascoe of Union.
Third Legal Objection.

ciple" to the Legislatures action In

was provision authorizing a municipal

The Governor said this was "a clear

municipalities, if some other will is to-.
intervene it must be that OF the people

New Orleans (UP)-In recogni-

the landing of the first stwo sisters
of Our Lady of Mt Carmel in
Louisiana, solemn pontifical mass
was celebrated here.
The revolution of 1880 in France
brought the sisters to New Orleans

Charles f.. Boutelou, fed from
France to escape arrest and pos
sible death.
Here Bishop de Neckere offered
refuge to Boutelpn and invited the
sisters to make their home in
Louisiana. Only two were chosen
for the first trip and they arrived
after an ocean voyage of"52 days
to ffd Bishop Neckere dead from
an illness.
The two sisters Went to Patten-
vile, La, where Father Boutelou
had been established rector of the
parish. During their four years
there, they established a school.
During, the century Of service in
the state, the order has increased
to 100 sisters. Thirteen schools,
six of them approved high schools,
now are maintained by the organ
