TAKE NO RISKS. STARTLING INDICTMENT, BISHOP CLEARY SPEAKS -. OUT. THE RECENT ISSUE OF AUCKLAND'S ROMAN CATHOLIC MAGAZINE, THE MONTH, HAS JUST ARRIVED IN WELLINGTON, AND ONE OF THE MOST SURPRISING FEATURES IS A POWERFUL EDITORIAL BY HIS LORD- ' SHIP DR. CLEARY, CATHOLIC BISHOP OF AUCKLAND, DEALING WITH THE FORTHCOMING POLL ON PROHIBITION. ONE PARAGRAPH IS HEADED, "HUMAN WRECKAGE," DR. CLEARY WRITES THUS REGARDING THE LIQUOR TRADE:- ---" Herein lies one of the tragedies of tho traffio in intoxicating "drink: the antagonism between the monetary interests of a large section "of 'The Trade' and the welfare of the individual and the nation. Out "in No Man's Land, close in front of trenches where we served' as a "military chaplain, there lay the piled up or scattered bodies—all unburied " —of over three thousand gallant Colonial storm troops that had been "destroyed by a sudden whirlwind of fire from the nearby German lines. "That moving spectacle of battered bodies does not represent a tithe of "the human wreckage left till over this Dominion by the sins of a consider- • "able section of 'The Trade,' whom neither moral suasion nor the civil "law nor tho appeal of pity has been able to bring within control. And , "the less appeal there is to conscience hi 'The Trade' the more must tho "State rely for reform upon its power and right of repressing a traffic the "evils of which it has hopelessly failed to reduce to the limits of toleration "or moderation. . 'As to the right of a State to suppress the liquor " 'traffic,' said the great Catholic, Archbishop Spalding, 'there can be no , " 'question, since the right to suppress crime involves the right to sup- " 'press its chief cause.'" It is the sins and the sin-making and crime "attendant upon the operations of 'The Trado' that have created the move"ment for its abolition; they have furnished it with its chief driving force; "they have made it (in our personal view) a wholesome necessity in a land "that would give its best to the shaping of the new and hotter era that is "(we hope) at hand."
