The Liquor Question Discussed 
Ai the Manchester Churches 
Rev. E. H. Brewster spoke briefly 
on the liquor question at the Baptist 
church last Sunday evening, as also 
did Rev. C. A. Lincoln at the Congre- 
gational church. Mr. Brewster said 
in part: 
“The liquor question is one worthy 
of agitation all the year round it one 
considers how influentially it bears 
upon our community life. It is matter 
of record as well as for congratulation 
that the citizens of Manchester have 
repeatedly declared their emnity to 
the saloon, and we are glad to believe 
will do so again at the polls tomorrow. 
“ You may employ two superintend- 
ents of schools if you will, build a half 
dozen more schoo] houses if you can 
afford it, but the plow of advanced 
ideas in education can make little 
headway against a well manned _ bar 
which would beget for you, with devil- 
ish rapidity, a generation of stunted, 
crippled, soulless and degenerate men. 
“I know there are some who talk 
about the right of the town to the few 
paltry thousands of dollars to be de- 
rived from the license system. Do 
such people ever stop to consider that 
license places the town at one side of 
the till, and the bar-keeper at the 
other ? 
““So much for license. I don’t be- 
lieve many sane men will vote for it. 
I shall be painfully shocked if the ma- 
jority for no license is not greater this 
year that it was last. What? Fifty- 
two more Sundays of church going, 
church giving and gospel preaching 
and my fellow townsmen no purer of 
the right, no firmer in their resolve to 
shatter the wrong? 
‘“‘ But some are saying, ‘If we don’t 
have license, we shall have the sale of 
liquor just the same.’ Shall we? Who 
says so? The law says ‘No.’ ‘Yes, 
but the lawisn’t enforced.’ Why not? 
People shrug their shoulders. Is that 
the way to shift the responsiblity? If 
the law isn’t enforced, it is the fault 
of the people who make the laws, and 
make and unmake law makers. We 
can keep ‘ No license’ and law enforce- 
ment together. 
“Our officials are honest men. 
Thank God no taint of graft has ever 
yet been discovered in Town hall. 
But they are the off-spring of our will. 
They will run no higher than their 
source. The stream of public senti- 
ment relating to this question has been 
very low indeed and at times has well 
nigh disappeared amid the draught of 
a general indifference.” 
Always a fine assortment of Im- 
ported Neckwear, Ruchings and
