SALOONS IN STATE Brotherhood Meeting at Park Church Desire Representatives to Faver the Measure. Nearly two hundred men, represént- ing the leading business interests in the city, attended the meeting of the Church Brotherhoods at the Hugh H. Osgood Memorial Monday evening and adopted resoiutions endorsing the effort being made to give the govern. or the power to close saloons during war time and also the policy of start- ing an educational campaign to secure a vote on the license. The meeting. ned with prayer by Rev. S. H. Howe, D. D., fo.lowing by a selection, Hymn of the Night, hy a double quartet from tho Bass Clef. Robe Johnson was chairman of the meeting and introduced Charles H. Ricketts, pastor of the Greenevilie Congregational church, as _the first speaker of the evening. Rev. Mr. Ricketts spoke on the National League for Defense, saying that the hand of the Prussian scourge was upon us and unless we all get out and do out bit we would lose the liberties which we now enjoy. The English navy has the Prussian navy bottled up but unless the English are fed they cannot hold out. It is up to the United States to turn to and feed the fighting forces on the other side. We have been sending much food to the countries at war but in so doing we have not been €conomical, with our own food sup- ply at home. The average cropage of the country in grain alone has fallen 20 millions below the average for pre- ceeding years. One great leakage is in the production of liquor. Millions of bushels go for the making of that stuff which does no good to man but destroys all who fall victims of the rum habit. Every idler must be put to work and we must do our bit even as other countries are doing theirs. Rev. Mr. Ricketts' remarks wers grected with_applause. Following Rev. Mr. Ricketts' talk the chairman _introduced Georze S. Pal- mer of New London. Mr. Palmer spoke as follows: The liquor traffic is the curse of the nation. Scientists are against it, medical organizations are against it, charitable organizations have to fight it and missions Wwork against it. It is the cause of the greatest part of the misery in the country tcday. We must make up our minds to rid the nation of the saloon. The question arises, when and how? There was a time when a man expected his help to drink but that day Is past ana €v- ery employer realizes that the drink- ing man is ineficient. The time has come when we must make our stand to abolish rum from the nation. In the city of New London there are 75 licensed saloons where, according to jaw, there should be only about 4* Something is_decidedly wrohz. As a hearing in Hartford onme Polish bov made a plea for no licenge by sayins that his people should be given a chance to be sober Amerfean citizens. When a boy of foreign birth who can hardly speak English, makes a plea like that it is time something was done. | Gustar T. Bochman, field secretary of the Connecticut Temperance Union, was the next speaker. He spoke in place of H. H_Spooner of New Brit- ain wsa was unable to be present ow- ing to iilness. Mr. Bochman told of the state prison and the jails through- out the state, saying that 80 or 50 p r cent of the inhabitants of these in- stitutions are there because of rum either directly or indirectly. The li- quor dealers put up the piea tnat li- cense reduces taxes but 1t does n-t. For every dollar that was taken in last year for license 33 was put ou either for jails or to relieve the suf- fering of those that have been af- flicted by the results of drink. Tho saloon gives nothing to the nation, it takes away from it. England has just as many bums now as it dld before the war for those drunkards can nei- ther fight nor work at home so they are a drag on the nation. The same {condition is true of the United States. Now is the time to atop it. Tet us start now. Walter E. Lanphear of Hartford ad- aressed a few remarks, summing up ithe liquor question in a few wcrds. Let us make a stand now and put li- quor forever from the nation. M. |Lanphear proposed thzt the meeting adopt resolutions to further the cauze {of_prohibition in Norwich. Rev. J. H. Newlands addressed the chairman of the meeting and propos:d the following resolutions which were adopted. Resolved, That we, the membrrs cf the Brotherhoods of the Norwich churches, desire to express our inter- est in and our approval of the effirt now being made to give power to the vernor to close the saloons in the state of Connecticut during the period of the war, and that we desire our representatives at Hartford to favor this measure. Resolved, Second, that we hcar with delight of the efforts being made a: Washington to conserve the food sup- plies for a hungry world by proh.bit- ing the use of foodstufts for the man- ufacturing of drink. Weo believe it will both conserve the 0od and pre- serve the morals of our people. Resolved, That we think it desir- able to have an educational campaisn our city in which there shall be set forth the mor¥i, economic and social |evils of the drink traffic, and in which we shall seek to secure a vote on the question of license or mo-license in |the city and_town of Norwich. Resolved, That we appoint a com- mittee of six, in addition to the chair- man of this meeting, whose duty it shall be to organize and plan for this campaign.
