meetings over England.
Tho Ilov. Wyntlham Heathcoti!,
if Maidstone, recently addressed a
meeting' at tho Corn Kxchuntre.
during which he described I lie
working of the illicit drink traffic
In tho United States as he ob
served It on a recent trip, lie pro
duced canes, dummy - books and
even a cigar capable of carrying
small quantities of liquor which he
stated wero used, with many other
novelties. In a continual If unlaw
ful service. America under pro
hibition, ho d ecu lured, hud be
come a more corrupt, more crim
inal and drunken nation.
Tint speaker said he opposed
prohibition because it wus sub
versive to democracy and was op
posed to ('hr)Hlianlty. The demuc
racy In liliu, he suld, was too
4 t rung to allow him to compel his
neighbor to do what he did not
want to do In tho conduct of his
private affairs. There were some
matters with which neither gov
ernments nor majorities had any
thing to do whatever. They had
Ho right, he malnlulned, to Inter
fere with the way In which the In
dividuals worshipped; no right to
dictate the choice of tho womun a
man should marry, and no right to
order what should bo . euten or
drunk. In regard to religion he
challenged any Christian to ll!
lilm that wine was wrong when
Christ drank and blessed It.
Dr. It. II. llenson. the Bishop of
Durham, Is another opponent of
prohibition and is of tho opinion
that "coercion Is not a legitimate
method of advancing morality."
speaking at a recent Hotary Club
meeting hero ho, said:
"Wc are told we ought to Ident

to deride the spelling or l-'lorldan
and Kloridlan hus been suggested
by the Pal in lSeueh Post as a
inetiny or settling a discussion 1 1t'll
lias agitated the editorial writers
or the stutefor months. The dis
cussion has recently bobbed In a
rather intensified form, wit li ex
ponents or both designations, but
I hey have lulled to "get unywlirn1"
after arguing. I he qiiesllon pro and
con at great length.
Now comes The Post wit i I In
suggestion (o set Mo the matter. ,
The question has been ably d"
fended on both shies, with the
among t hose favoring elimination
or the "i" In the final' syllable and
making the name Klorldan. It is
contended by The Star that the
Spanish language, which gave
Dorida her name docs not war
rant the spelling Kloridiun. and
this Is supported by claims that
tho old Ijitln. upon which the
Spanish Innuugc has Its founda
tion. n further substantiation.
The I 'aim Iteaeh I 'osl . taking
t he other side of t he argument,
rinds grounds ror the other spell
ing. Kloridiun, In the spelling of
Canadian, and remarks facctlously
t lint "Of course Mr, Webster who
worked out a makeshift or u dic
tionary, and some of t he other
bnvs In that coinpcHM'vf rh-ld, will
(be glad to know that they ure
wrung in spelling n - loriuiau.
No doubt II will be changed Just
as soon hs their attention Is called
to It and the new authority Is
cited."
''localise of the similarity In tin
two words, the old authorities."
continues The Post, "who whittled
corncobs while they thought out
sonio way to 'get by when they
came to such troublesome terms,
no doubt will change the spelling
of Canadian at the same time."

DIULIN (AP). A recent at
tempt to compel railway compan
ies In tho Kreo State to pr'm
their announcements and tickets
in the Irish language only, or In
both Irish and English, was vig
orously opposed by Senator W.
H. Yeats, tin poet, who In the
course of his address rovualed
that ho had tried to learn li.rh
and failed, as ho had always
fulled to learn any other language
than Kugllsh.'
A strong feeling has manifested
itself In favor of making this
country . bilingual. Irish is com
pulsory in the schools, and in
the law courts It ranks equally
with Knglish. It Is but rarely
employed, however, and when d
Is, ca.tses some embarrassment to
judges and counsel, most of when.
urn Ignorant of it. Occasionally
