My dear sir: I am writing you this

A man wno sam ' nan, wnB

my house this afternoon to ask about
tou and your family while here. Ha
Hid he was connected with the
tftney, and wished to get data from
which to write up the story of your
Bfe, In ease of your election.
This sounded a little bit "fishy" to
me is I thought, he could have more
eu'lly gotten hla Information there,
but I proceeded to tell him all the
good things I could think of about
you and your people; not more than
roil so richly deserve, however.
Knowing you when you -were a
mill bov. and watching your upward
climb from that time. It Is not so

could not elect a more capable and
upright man as their Mayor, and I
hope to hear of your triumphant elec

CONNELLY OPENS CAMPAIGN
"Passes the Buck" in Answering
Charge That Organization Plans
Sale of Water Works
John P. Connolly, Republican Organiza
tion candidate for City Solicitor, In open
ing the Hepubllcan mayoralty fight at
meetings held In the 21st, 24th nnd 43d
Wards last, denied that he or any other
Organization candidate is planning to pell
the water works If the Organization gains
control of the next Administration.
"No candidate on the Republican ticket
possibly could favor the disposal of the
water works," he said.
Connolly flred what Organization follow
ers today termed "broadsides" at the In
dependents. They were charges to the
effect that Mayor Blankenburg's Cabinet,
of which George D. Porter, Independent
candidate for Mayor, was formerty a mem
ber,' had Berlously considered selling the
water works for $25,000,000 and the gas
works for $60,000,000.
Thomas B. Smith, Republican Organ
ization candidate for Mayor, who had
previously announced that he would not
enter into personalities during the cam
paign, also spoke at the meetings, which
were held at 4419 Main street, Manayunk;
the Union Republican Club, 39th street
and Lancaster avenue, and at the Tom
.Reed Club, Broad and Butler streets.
'The Organization mayoralty candidate
promised many Improvements, but dis
cussed them In a general way only. He
flatly declared, however, that he would
continue the Blankenburg policy of keep
ing the police nnd firemen out of politics.
Connelly, as proof of his charges against
the Blankenburg administration and
George D. Porter, said that It Is "signi
ficant that the list of contributors to
the Franklin party campaign bears tho
name of Gtorgo W. Norrls, a former
member of the cabinet of the present ad
ministration, who contributed $500 for
campaign expenses on September 17, 1915,
nnd on September 20, 1915, made a loan
of $2000 to the present candidate for Mayor
on the Franklin party ticket."
Mr. Smith, In his declarations, avored
the completion of the Parkway and the
boulevard system, port development, the
elimination of grade crossings and in
creased Are and police forces.

A N able editorial from the Chattanooga Times has this to say of
rx Prohibition and remember, too, that Tennessee is a Prohibi
tion State. Says the Times:
rPHERE is some satisfaction in knowing that this is not the only
A time, or ours the only people, distracted by the proposition to
control men's appetites by law. Oliver Cromwell, we are told, once
wrote to the Scotch clergy: 'I prefer that Englishmen should be free
rather than sober by compulsion.' Further he said: 'Your pretended
fear lest error should step in, is like the man who would keep all the
wine out of the country lest men should be drunk. It will be found
an unwise and unjust jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty
upon a supposition that he may abuse it. When he doth abuse it,
judge. This is a very clear exposition of the attitude of the rational
opponents of what is known as statutory prohibition.-"
T N conclusion, the newspaper drives home this thoughts "The most
- demoralizing feature of the propaganda in Tennessee is that It is
made the stalking horse for a lot of politicians who could gain favor
in no other way and whose presence in the public service has driven
tl 8tronK ab'e and constructive leaders into practical retirement.
What Cromwell prophesied has come to pass ft has been found to
be 'unwise and unjust jealousy to deprive a man of his natural lib.
crty upon the supposition that he may abuse it,' "
()NCE more is shown the FALLACY that because a man has
access to alcoholic beverages he Is certain to become an IneWri
ate when it is a FACT that M out of every 100 men who use liquor
do so In a moderate and temperate manner.

Facts Versus
Fal lac ies
FACT is a real slate of things. FALLACY 'is an appar
ently genuine but really illogical ttatcmenl or argument.
TN this very able editorial, the Times goes on to say: "If we are to
have strong men, men who have control over their evil propensi
ties and who are armed against the abuses of privileges, we must
have them self-reliant, self-dlsciplined and fully cognizant of their
own responsibility for their own acts. Men of that quality cannot be
made by laws. We have been In the law-making business in this
country now for something more than a century, and we are still at
it in an increasing ratio. Ex-President Taft the other day told an
audience In North Carolina that Congress within the past fiye years
had passed 65,000 laws, the tendency of the times being to yield to
the dangerous magic of 'Be It Enacted. It is the inevitable cenclu.
slon of investigators that every law passed calls for another and
sometimes two or three others; and so we are rapidly becoming a
law-ridden nation, ever new enactment being a recognition in form
of the notion that instead of becoming better, hwman nature is
steadily growing worse, so much so that the 'righteous' have te in.
terfere with regulations in order to prevent an avwJlew of iniquity."
