willing to sell out for the revenue we
p.re simply blackmailers who are will
ing to take our share of the spoils of
a system that we asknewledge produces
evil and only evil:
That prohibition will not prohibit
might b5 used against any of our laws.
There were 249 murders in New York
last year. Only sixty-five arrests fol
lowed the commission of those crimes
and only two of the criminals went to
the electric chair. Using the argument
of the liquor dealers, we might say
that the law against murder does .not
I'prohibit. Murder will be committed
anyway and we might as well regulate
it. Look at the revenue we would get
from it and then we might provide that
no murder be committed between mid
night and 5 in the morning or on the
Sabbath and there would be no "speak
easy" murderers as there are now.
Then there is another crime' that is
very, very prevalent wherever the sa
lcons exist, that of wife beating. We
might issue licenses to v.ife beaters
and gain considerable revenue. If we
can license one evil, why not license
all? Would it not be Just as sane to
license wife beaters and murderers as
to license the factories that produce
wife beaters and murderers " -are
at present, tn licensing the sa-
: loon?
! ine so-called necessary evils are
; necessary only eo Ions' as the people
wish to tolerate them. The saloon as
it exists to-day is a positive nuisance.
It is a menace to public health, public
peace and public morality and it exists
because of the mistaken Idea that it
helps pay taxes. The fact of the mat
ter is that for every dollar that we re
ceive in the yay of license fcs we are
paying $20 to care for the product of
the saloon. But if it were true that
we benefited by the whole amount paid
by the liquor dealers of the state !t
would amount to only SO cents per cap
ita per year for the population of the
state of Connecticut. So that the citi
zens of this state are selling their
peace and happiness for 30 cents per
capita per year. Judas got thirty
pieces of silver, but we citizens of the
Nutmeg state get but 30 cents. It is a
pretty small bribe, is it not?
They tell us that we can not make
men moral by law. We are not trying
to, but we most seriously protest
against the state piakin itself and its

Wo 'are told that we can not inter
fere with the personal liberty of m,en
to eat and drink what they wish. When
congress passed a pure food law pro
hibiting the sale of impure food and
tainted beef, where were these cham
pions of personal liberty? Has not a
man the right to eat tainted beet if lie
wishes? Just as much as ho has to
drlng intoxicating liquors? I suppose
the primitive man thought it was an
interference with his personal liberty
to tay that he should not roam about
this earth without clothes. ' He proba
bly protested against the wearms of
a breach cloth, but in some way lie was
made to see that his liberty was cir
cumscribed by the duty he owed to po
ciety and from that breach cloth has
been developed the dude of to-day.
Had the argument against the inter
ference with personal liberty as made
by primitive man succeeded clothes
would not now be worn.
It has been so through all has",
our liberties have been encroached up
on in the interest of public health,
pub c peace and public safety and
morality from time to time Rnd th.

.ut. they say that the senate will bo
gainst it. They forget that even n
ha cities that it is possible to elect
enators favorable to prohibition. Th

evidential and can be carried against

orms introduced and fought for in the

i BISHOP AT TRINITY
Episcopal Head in Porto Rico
Speaks on the Subject
of Lepers.
MONEY NEEDED FOR WORK
Bishop Van Buren Asks That
Two
Thousand Dollars he Sub
scribed Locally.
Bishop Van Buren of Porto Rico,
made a stirring appeal at Trinity
church, yesterday morning in behalf of
tne islanders who have but lately come
under the stars and stripes ana who
are as well his special charge. A driz
zling, sloppy morning did much to keep
many a--'ay from the church andv f rom
hearing the bishop, who is an occasion
al visitor at. the church, yet the church
was well tilled in spite of the incle
ment conditions.
Perhaps the most -interesting portion
of the bishop's account of his work on
the island of Porto Rico was that
which dealed with the leper colony
which is situated on a small island,
called Goat Island, directly off tha
harbor of San Juan. In an uncom
promising way the bishop described
the awful features of the dread disease
of lepiosy; how the hands, tho feet and
the, different parts of the body dropped
off one by one.
But all this, ho said, wa3 by no
means to be counted as the worst that
these 'ioor unfortunates had to endure.
Ther was the loncsofneriess of it all.
the dread cry of "Unclean, unclean," of
vvhU'h'we read in Ben Hur, which must
always separate them nut only from all
men a? well as from their kith and
kin. 'Bishop Van Buren told of one
poor woman, a leper, who was only al
lowed to see her husband once a month
and that only at a speaking distance
for fear lie would take the disease him
self. Bishop Van Buren said he had him
self been to tha Island to preach sever
al times. Then, he said, he had had
to wear antiseptic rubes and to wash
his hands afterwards in antiseptic wa
ter. He told ot the awful life that the
lepers had been compelled to live on
Goat Island until the Episcopal church
had begun its efforts there under tho
bishop's direction. Even fruits, whicn
ordinarily could be had for tho asking
in Porto Rico they had not had, sim
ply because everybody had forgotten
them. When the biohap's assistant,
'"v. Mr. Mitchell, went to tho island
as the first missionary, one of his first
deeds o thcuffhtfulncss, said the bish
op, was to take the lepors huge bas
kets fuw. of fruit.
Another thing which he did was to
take them a phonograph and their joy
and laughter was . unbounded when
they Ifcard anew from the machine the
iear, old sontrs that they had sung in
the days of their youth bel'jro the
dread disease had come to them.
'The bishop said these lepers are
anionp: the most enthusiastic cel;bra
toTi of the Fourth of July arnpnj the
new subjects oi the United State'') In
Porto Rico. On the Fourth of July
they always elect a president, for they
have a1 sort of little government of
'heir own. "Last Fourth," said the bls
hopfl In a taeitious vein, "they elected
the sanv man president for the third
time. Evidently they do not think
there is a hoodoo about tho Idea of a
third term."
Bishop Van Buren described the oth
er a-cnucs of work in his diocese, a
hospital, but recently erected1, had cost
aKout $34,000. Some $4,000 was still,
needed to. "ay for It, ha said, but ha
had every reason to believe the requir
ed amount would be forthcoming irom
another source. .
The bishop made a straight appeal to
the people of Trinity parish, old and
young, in behalf cf A. little church,
i.tarted a year and a half ago near San
Juan, where go both EnglisK-speaklng
blacks and Spanish-speaking whites. In
connection with tho church the rector
has been conducting a school in tho
basement of his bouse where fifty chil
dren could comfortably, be, accommo
dated, but where 100 have been crowd
ed in.
Ho told a nathetic little story about
the little frirls and boys who had come
to school every day, begging for an ed
ucation. ' Tie- said the need was urgent
for a new church building, where a
school ml Tlit be located, and he appeal
ed to thtTpeople of Trinity church for
fundi.'
The new building, ns planned, will
cost $15,000. Seven thousand dollars has
already been raised. S500 have been I
promised by the American Episcopal
charm ps a whole and lie wished Trin-
i t v to do as much aa It could to meet'
the fund of $2,000 still required'.
