' LIQUOR DEALERS HELD ' BIG OPEN MEETING Speaker Says No-License Would Be Injurious to Town’s Industries. The liquor dealers held an open meeting in FroehlichKeit hall Sunday afternoon at which over a hundred men attended to discuss the no-license eituation in Norgvich. The meeting was called s0 that labor organizations might_give their approval cf license. John J. Corkery was chairman of the meeting and in a brief address said in part: We (the license faction): know more about the needs and condition of Norwich than the no-license work ers and we think that it would be in- jurious to the welfare of the town to heve it go no-license. People do not want to work in a no-license town and 1# the town goes dry it wiml be: injur- ious to the industries in this place. We have gone over the voting lists and checked up all of those who will vote for license Monday and every vote will count. Representatives of the cigarmakers, plumbers, bartenders and metal work- ers’ unions gave their approval of l- cense and sald that their unions would do all in their power to make the town go license again this time. The voting lists were scanned by members of each district to see if they could get a line on the outcome of today's vote. WEDDING. Trotter—Hazard. Miss Jessie P.

PROHIBITION MEEYING AT CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH Addresses in Behalf of No-License Made by Prominent Lawyers. Over three. hundred people assem- bled In the Central Baptist churek on Sunday evening at the last ‘p=blic mase meeting conducted by the sup- porters of mo-license and heard three eminent lawyers, Charles L. tSewart of this city, Hadlai A. Hull of New London and Samuel H. Davis of Wes- terly, in brief addresses on the no-li- cense question. The speakers brought out facts that could not be denied in regards to the evil of the saloon and the liquor traffic as conducted in this eity. A men's meeting was to have been held in the Broadway church but It was decided.that it would be better to unite the two meetings and the men adjourned to the Central church. After the Wevotional service Rev. Bdward 8. Worcester introduced Charles L. Stewart, onc, of the lawyers who ®o ably defended the no-license petition in the superior court last week. Mr. tSewart outlined what oc- curred in the court when the liquor dealers tried to prove that the peti- tion was invalid. Mr. Stewart sall In the first place the petition had 590 uames on it but owing to the death of the late Amos A. Browning_there remained (\3[‘/ 589 and of these 33 had failed to gi¥e the addresses which they had given on the registration list. It was on these grounds that the liquor dealers contested the petition. Upon investigation it was found that a num MRS.

A week ago the liquor dealers agreed with the no-license faction to have a clause inserted in the warning, which according to law must be post- ed & certain time before the election, stating that there would be a vote on the liquor question. On Monday a representation of the liquor forces came to my office and said that they could not agree to have the clause in- ‘serted in the warning until the court had handed down a decision. The warning had to be posted on Wednes- day and the court did not convene un- il Tuesday mo it would be impossi- ble to get a decision until the warn- ing had been posted.

This is the reason that some women never lock dressed, because they fail to realize the importance of a milliner-made hat —be it ever so simple. No woman in Norwich needs wear ugly lids!

Peter J. Cuny, st 8t. Patrick’s Church. Comparing life to a clock, which may run for years, yet must uitimate- ly wear down in its mechanism and eventually stcp, Rev. Peter J. Cuny admonished the congregation at St. Patrick's church at the high mas: Sunday to be ever ready for that c sation’ of life which men call Death. To the good Christian there is noth- ing to fear about death, which is merely transition; the state in which that there are 7t saloons in the city of Norwich and with these on every street no sane person would doubt for a mirute that our sailors anA soldlers wou'/# fiot be able to procure lquor. When the soldier and sailor lads get to drinking they cease to become-an asset to the ntaion and become a bur- den and r2 the present time the coun- try has no use for burdens. We are imperilled so in the name of our young men, humanity, home and Jaw and decency carry the town for no-license and make Norwich a real town. Following Major Hull's talk Samuel H. Davis of Westerly, who has been connected with the Anti-Saloon league for a number of vears, spoke upon the Mguor trafic giving many statistics showing the resuit of no-license in the state of Massachusetts. The saloon is the enemy of the tax- paver. said Mr. Davis. The average tax of the license cities is $1.0% per thousand higher than in the no-license citles. Why? Eighty-five per cent. of the pauperism is the result of liquor, & per cent. of the criminals are re. sults of liquor and 33 per cent. of the insanity is the result of liquor. This is the reascn why taxes are higher. ‘The saloon is the enemv of the waze earner. The average wage per year is $7¢ more in no-license cities than in_license towns. The saldon is the enemy of the Lome. There is more misery and pov— erty in the license town than in the no-license cities, The saloon is the enemy of the pub- lic schools. There is 41 per cent. mere children in the schools of the no-li- cense cities than in those of the Ii- cense towns. In the license towns the children are taken out of school and put to work because the bread win- ner of the family is a drunkard. The saloon i the enemy of the. church. There was 100 per cent. more attendance at the churches In a Mass- achusetts town for ten years of mo- license tham during the previous ten years of,license. . There ‘are three principles in life, first, benevolence or philanthropy, ‘which is service without profit or hope of profit: second business, which is service for profit and ‘third, crime, which is profit without glving’ service. Now. where will we class the liquor traffic? Surely it is not benevolence as no ssloon keepers give away thelr wares. \urely not business because there is ho service rendered and It does not one anv good..
