Real Leaders in
the Churches
United in Con
demnation of
Prohibition
Prelates, Priests and
Pastors Raise Their
Voices in the Cause
of Temperance,
Not for "Reform
by Law"
Read What National
Thinkers Say:
"To (Jrlnk Is no sin. Jesus Christ drank. To keep a
Moon la no sin. And any policy that claims tn the name of
Christ', or does not claim His name, that deals with the well
nlRh universal taste of man for alcohol ON THE BASIS OF
LAW AND ORDER ALONE, cannot commend Itself to th
brat Intelligence, and Is doomed to fall."
REV. DR. RAINSFORD.
St George's Episcopal Church, New York City.
"It It right to drink wine and beer? It Is right for each
Individual to decide that question for himself, and for the
community to put such regulations on the sa,u of wine and
beer, AND ONLY SUCH, as are necessary to prevent popular
excesses and public disorder." REV. LYMAN ABBOTT.
"The church of God has never declared the moderate os
of alcohol to be a sin; this seems to be left, with other
things, as open matters of Christian Liberty,"
THE REV. CANON WEST, D. D.
"As for those who endeavor to enlist Scripture on their
Ide by maintaining that the wine mentioned In Scripture
was not an Intoxicating liquor, they must either be them
selves very Ignorant and silly If they really believe It. or
must be fostering a pious fraud in the hope of deluding the
simple . . under fnUe pretences."
ARCHBISHOP YVHATELY.
"All true Amrrlrana, It seems to me, ought to strive to
maintain and perpetuate XWrlran principles. State-wldo
prohibition violates and local option supports thl principle,
therefore 1 am opposed to slnte-vrlde prohibition an.t In lavor
of local option." BISHOP DANIEL S. TL'TTLU,
Presiding Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church In the
United States.
"I am opposed to prohibition by statute. 1 would rather
see America free first, and then have Its citizens use Its free
dom for moral ends." REV. S. PARKS CAl'.MAN,
Brooklyn. N. Y.
"Under the present law (county prohibition) the taloon,
where the traffic could be regulated, his given way to the
drugstore, where minors and undesirables o.)a!n nil the
whisky (key nast The liquor business should be i onducted
pea and above board, and not over the bars of secret dras."
REV. FATHER T. J. RYAN, Pontiac, Mich.
"I cannot see the benefits to be derived from compulsory
abstinence."- BISHOP GRAFTON, of Wisconsin.
"Absolute prohibition has proven Impracticable, If not a
dismal failure.'
THE RIGHT REV. THOMAS F. LILLIS,
Bishop of Leavenworth, Kansas.
"The use of alcoholic liquors Is and always has been con
sidered not only legitimate as a beverage, but It Is conse
crated and hollowed In the most solemn and weighty rite of
the Christina Church. You cannot, by mere law, eradicate a
sentiment and destroy an Institution that has stood for ages
and that Is so deeply rooted In our social life."
ItEV. W, A. WASSON, New York.
"Everyone knows that there are many saloons that are
perfectly orderly and law-abiding. Have I, as a minister,
any more right to Interfere with the business of such a place
than the saloonkeeper would have to disturb the peace of
my congregation while at worship?"
VERY REV. D. D. J. HARTLEY. Little Rock, Ark.
"I consider prohibition wrong because It Ib destructive.'1
BISHOP CHARLES D. WILLIAMS, Michigan.
"The establishment ef prohibition would bo Impractical
and would put a premium on the sale of Intoxicating drinks."
CARDINAL UIBUOMS.
"Prohibition drivel underground the mischief which It
seek to cure." BISHOP HALL, Vermont.
"Prohibition has been disastrous to the cause of dm.
perance." BISHOP CLARK, Rhode Island.
"It Is a rude Interferenco with the personal liberty for
the law to tell me what I shall eat or how much I shall eat. It
Is just as rude an Interference for It to describe what - shall
or shall not drink, and how much,"
REV. DU. CHAS. PARKHUR8T, New York.
"My eyes were opened to the great evils of prohibition In
a very few years. The clubs organised by young men, the
Idling of vile decoctions by women and children, the
hypocrisy and corruption arrested my attention."
REV. DR. BLANCH ARD, Portland, Me.
"Many people thought state-wide prohibition to be the
Ideal remedy. It Is Impractical, and Ite violation Is pro
duotlve of hidden and shameful vice."
BISHOP QAILOR, Tennessee.

HOW PRGHiBITfON IS
I IH WEST VA.
Wliat Happened to tlic I5ip;f;est
Itiewery in the Stute, Xotv a
Parkin); House.
By Fred 0. Blue, Tax Commissioner
of West Virginia.
Wlien the question of prohibition
was first submitted In West Virginia
in 1888, it carried in only three coun
ties, but when the same proposition
was submitted in 1912 it lost in only
three counties. Although the popu
lation of the state has doubled, there
were 3,000 less wet votes the second
time than the first. This vast charge
in sentiment was attributed to educa
tion. The effects of alcohol taught in
the public schools since 1888.
The first thing we did after the
amendment had carried was to pass
a real prohibition law. One of the
wets described it as having horns.
We did away with the clubs and we
did away with, the drug stores. No
physician in West Virginia can give
you a prescription for wine of whis
key. They say you can't enforce it.
I want to say that you can. Our po
lice courts are practically idle. Last
week, for the first time in the history
of the state, a grand jury adjourned
without finding a single offense wor
thy of indictment.
I want to say that prohibition has
not hurt business. Wheeling, which
was the wettest town in the state, has
turned her Brewery into a packing
house, and it employs three times as
many men as it did.
In Charleston, the brewery has be
come an ice plant, and we are to
have cheaper ice, so that the poor of
the city can acord it.
In Wheeling whore there were 14
saloons in one block, every place has
been rented to another form of indus
try, some at advanced rents. A shoe
dealer located In that block, writes
that his business has increased 35
per cent since the city has been dry,
over a corresponding period when it
was wet.

END OF WAR AVILL SEE BIG IM
MIGRATIOX TO V. S.
Chicago Record-Herald: Mark Sul
livan, editor of Collier's, In an ad
dress at Detriot last Saturday to the
advertising clubs of that city, Cleve
land, Buffalo and Rochester, declared
that the Immigration from Europe
that would follow the end of the
present war, and especially from
Germany, would add enormously to
our national assets.
That immigration will Increase is
to be expected. Poverty, political
oppression and religious nrosecution
are, historically, the stimulants of
emigration. Except in the case of
the Jews of Eastern Eurone the lat
ter factor has ceased to be operative.
Nor is an increase of political op
pression likely to occur. If the war
produces any political effect it will
De in the direction of more demo
cratic liberty.
The factor of poverty will remain
and be intensified for the time.
Whichever side "wins" the destruc
tion of wealth will have been enor
mous. The life of the common man
will be harder and he will be more
inclined to take "hazard of new for
tunes" in lands over which the des
tructive broom of war has not passed.
Mr. Sullivan estimated an immi
gration of at least 1,000,000 immed
iately following the end of the war,
and largely from Germany.
Wherever in Eurone the immi
grants come from they will be wel
comed Ty all right thinking Amer
icans. None will be more welcome
than those from Germany.
They will not add to our nrnhlpm
of illiteracy nor swell the ranks of
unskilled labor. No Deonle in En-
rope arc better schooled. None show
a higher average of skill in the arts
and crafts. Abraham Lincoln, lone
ago, declared every able-bodied im
migrant worth at least SI 0.00 to this
country. An addition of 1,000,000
trained and educated workers thus
means, at the lowest estimate, $1,-
000,000)00 added to our national
resources.
Quick Work in Viro Protection.
In reviewing the lire protection
work of the past season, the District
Forester at Portland, Oregon, an
nounces that some very effclent and
speedy records have been made in
reaching fires. '
Perhaps the most striking instance
of this speedy work occurred at i
ranger station three-eights of a nv.lt
from Silver Lake, Oregon. Tli
ranger received a telephone call tt
the effect that there was a fire at a
mill twelve miles away. He immed
iately saddled his horse, rode into
town, hired ten men and three auto
mobiles, and with this force reached
the fire in just forty-eight minute?
from the time he received the tele
phone call. The run from Silver
Lake to the scene of the fire, twelve
miles away, was made in twenty
eight minmutes.
