NEW CONDITIONS III THIS LAUD Roy S. Goodrich, After His Two Months in East, Speaks of the Present and Probable Future Business Situation in Countrv. Roy S. Goodrich returned to the city after an absence of two months. Mr. Goodrich spent the greater part of that time in New England, in Boston and about his old alma mater. Harvard University. Speaking of business conditions, Mr. Goodrich said that pre vious to the breaking out of the Euro pean war there had been a decided im provement in business and the pros pect was one of great activity. It was not only in prospect; it had already actually begun. Then came the sudden war for the moment bringing business to a stand still. The country, however, withstood the first shock but it was realized that the business of the country was facing entirely new con ditions to which it must- adjust itself and it was further realized that those conditions would remain after the causes which had given birth to them had passed away. Though money was now higher it was available for necessary enterprises bin there was none for speculation and, in the opinion of Mr. Goodrich, it will be a long time before speculation will receive encouragement. The work be fore the country now is constructive and not speculative. The general attitude of hankers is one of patriotism, Mr. Good rich learned from an old friend, Mr. Wallace Dunham, president of the Old Colony Trust company, of Boston. Mr. Dunham said that by reason of the European war many enterprises which had formerly been carried on almost exclusively in Europe, would have to be undertaken in this country. For instance, certain classes of woolen goods for which the t'nited States had depended upon Europe, would now be manufactured at home and therefore encouragement would be given by the bankers to such enterprises. Most of the dyes hitherto used in this country were manufactured in Germany under patents which are pro tected in this country. It is probable that an arrangement will he made by which the dyes can be made here. It is stated that there is not now more than a month's supply of dyes in the t'nited States. In many other directions the burdens which Europe has hitherto borne will have to be taken up in this country and every facility will he afforded by capi talists for the starting of new enter prises which give promise of success. Hut for speculative or precarious enter prises nothing will lie forthcoming. In the opinion of financiers there will be no serious disturbance in this country. Of course, such a great de struction of wealth as is going on 1n Europe must be felt in all parts of the world but it will not be felt here with painful acuteness. At the end of it, the new era which has been forced upon til is country, will leave it in bet ter condition than that in which the war found it.

SEE IT" 11 "SEE IT" OPEN FORUM FOR DEBATING STATE WIDE PROHIBITION i " i The very Important Issue of state wide prohibition has been raised. A campaign in favor of a constitutional amendment will be shortly Instituted. This, like all other Important ques tions lias two sides, on each of which are found honest and Intelligent per sons. The Republican has decided to pro vide for p. reasonable discussion of this Issue In Its pages, allowing to each side at least a half column daily for signed articles, for which there will be no charge. No anonymous article will be published. It is only stipulated that the com munications for and against prohibi tion be Just and fair and that in no case shall there be any wild and ex travagant statement that will In any way reflect upon the reputation of Phoenix for good order.

Answer: He ought, at least, to be suppressed as an enemy to religion and society. Q. How about the man who enlists religious prejudice against a great morai reform? A. That might be called adding in sult to injury. Q. Who is attempting to stir up .-f-ligious prejudice and resentment? A. The Royal Arch, an organiza tion of saloon keepers. Q. How are they trying to do this? A. Ry sending out letters to Cath olics calculated to inflame them against the proposed constitutional j amendment making Arizona dry. Q. Why is the Royal Arch doing this? A. Because it is attempting to save the saloon and make the Cath olic church the instrument by which the saloon shall be saved. Q. What excuse does the Royal Arch offer for this reprehensible at tempt to make the Catholic church its side-partner? A. A so-called legal opinion to the effect that if the amendment carried the Catholic church could not use fermented wine for Holy Com munion. Q. Is a legal opinion conclusive evidence on this point? A. No, a legal opinion is only valuable when it forecasts a court decision. An opinion not likely to be sustained in court is not worth the paper on which it is written. Q. Did the Royal Arch get moro than one opinion? A. Yes, they secured several opin ions, and then used only the ones that favored their side. Q. Is it possible to get legal opin ions that directly conflict with each other? A. Yes, indeed, you can get any kind of an opinion you are willing to pay for- Q. Why were some of the opin ions secured by the Royal Arch to the effect that the amendment would make it a crime to nse fermented wine fo'. communion? A. Because the lawyers giving the opinion knew what was expected of them or were ignorant of the fact that statutes were construed accord ing to the intent of the people who enact them. Q. Who asked for the opinion of the attorney who decided that com munion wine was barred? A. Amos O'Keefe, of Tucson. Q. Who is Amos O'Keefe'.' A. He is proprietor of the El Moro saloon at Tucson and president of the Royal Arch, an organization of the saloon-keepers of Arizona. Q. Who gave Amos O'Keefe the authority to look after the spiritual welfare of the Catholic church? A: His fellow saloon-keepers. Q. Why should Amos O'Keefe take such an interest in the Holy Eucha rist or Holy Communion? A. Ho is interested only in saving the saloon business and he will em ploy any means to accomplish that end. Q. How did Amos O'Keefe circu late the. opinion of the lawyer after he got it? A. He enlisted the service of John I. Rellly, of Tucson, who sent it out for him Q. Who is John I. Rellly. A. He is district deputy of the Knights of Columbus. Q. Why was Reilly selected to serve the purpose of the Royal Arch? A. Because of his connection with tho Catholic organization that O'Keefe wanted to rake his chestnuts out of the fire. Q. What does John I. Reilly say in his letter to excuse him for an at tempt to form a partnership between the church and the saloon? A. lie says that the efforts of the thousands of good people of Arizona to abolish the saloon is "an attempt to stab the Mother Church in the back." Q. When did the destruction of the liquor business become synonimous with "stabbing the Mother Church in the back?" A. When Amos O'Keefe saw John I. Reilly. Q. Will not Catholics resent this implication of Reilly's that the Cath olic church and the saloon stand so closely together that the voting out of the one means the stabbing of the other? A. They certainly will. Q. But is this opinion of the Roy al Arch attorney correct? A. No. it is absolutely and utterly worthless. Q. Is there any legal opinion on which the voters can rely? A. Yes, indeed. Judge A. C. Bak er, former justice of the supreme court of Arizona and a leading law yer of Phoenix, has given an opinion of real value. Q. Why is Judge Baker's opinion of more value than that of the. sa loon attorney? A. Because it is the result of thor ough research, is based on a decision of the United States supreme court, appeals to your own reasoning fac ulties pnd common sense and is to tally disinterested. It is neither bought nor paid for and is given only because a sense of fairness demand ed that the misrepresentation of the amendment should end. Q. What is' the effect of Judge Baker's opinion? A. That the amendment does not interfere with the use of communion wine, fermented or unfermented; that no court in Christemdom would so construe it. Q. Which is most to he relied up on, the cool, chaste and convincing language of Judge Baker or the hot, intemperate language of John I. Reilly? A. That must be decided by the voter. Q. Why does not Amos O'Keefe rake his own chestnuts out of the fire? : A. Because he does not wish to burn his fingers. Q. Will the Catholic church permit itself to be caught in the saloon net of the Royal Arch? A. Xo, indeed, it has a higher pur pose, than to become a side-partner of the liquor business or political at tachment of the Royal Arch. G. F.
