Correspon&ence. S U N D A Y C LOS ING.


To the J-,(litoi' of tho Clitliofoe Adv'erii^er. Sir, ^\Ve note tliat .Mr. Pickup now prac.


ticftHy adinit.s that the returns of deatlis from alcoholism and cirrhosis do not indicate the total mortality from alcoholic abuse. Ho still persists in calling Mr. Chenoy’s figure *a mere guess.’ hnt so far from disproving‘ it, he simply png away by afiirniing that, it is not for him


to prove, etc. \\t* suggest that Mr. Pickup is just ns much hound to make his denial good, as we are our allirniation.


Mr. Pickup next speak? of my * somewlml improbable conclusion that the people of Scot,


laud ijiust he more .sober iliaii those of England because more of tltem get drunk.’ Tliat is not ray conclusion ai all, hut. only Mr. Pickttp’s perverted rendering of it. What I actually aaid was that the convictions for drunkenness did noi prove that Scotland was more drunken than Kngland, because convictions do not ac. oiirately niea.sme the e.xtent of drnnkenne.'S. I pointed out tliat this was the coticlusion of the Uommissioners wlio inve.^tigaled the ques. tiou—a conclusion which Mr. Pickup ignores. May 1 commend to hU attention the following passage from tlie report for 1912 of the Con shabulary Inspector for the Soiiihern District of England and Wales: ” Tlic retmn.s of pro


ceoutions for drunkenness are too often taken as a measure of the vice of iiueinperance, whereas they are more nearly a measure of the action of llie police and of the sinndaj-d of public decorum adopted in the particular lo. cality. . . . .On these reunn.?, the place with a high standaid of decorum, which in. sists that the drunkard should be treated as a public iiuisaiice, is called a drunken place, while* the place with a low standard of public decorum and kindly .‘iympaiiiy for him is ad. verlised as a pattern of sobriety.” This is in substantial agreement witli' tlie Cotuinissiotieis e.vplanation of tin- gieaier niimbtU' of convic. tion.s for dl•u^kel^}Jes^ in Scotland. It- is con. tinned by the experience of all wliu study given iocalitie> for atiy length of time. 'J’he difierence i:i Scotch law and administration must also he noted. Speaking in 1898, Sir M. W. Pidley .said : '■ The Scottish law a> to diunkonness and ‘V admini.sliatioii differs .<o mucli from tlie fCnglisli law ami ii> admini.stration that it is ditlicnlt to draw any trustworthy conclu.sioti from a comparison *>f thi- two cuuntriesV ‘ Wlteie. then, is •he proof tliat Scotland is more drunken than Kngland? .\nd where the proof that. Scottisli drunkennc.'S is due to Sun­ day Closing? Even if it could ho established that Kngland was nn.re sober than Scotland— and we wi.'sh it could he—there is no reason whatever to attribute that sobriety to a spec, iai facility for selling liquor on a Sunday, The credit must he L'iven to t.lie churches, tho tempeiiince agencies, the .social reformens. and other bodie.s, who, realising the pernicious re. .sults of tho liquor traffic, have done their best to nullifv Us influence.


■ } !


day Closing Act is directly responsible for the incteaso of chib.s in Wales. Ho ask.s ; ‘Tf not, to what el.se wa.s the increase due?” He still ^nores the fact tliai under Sunday opening, Engiraid is an ea.^y first in the number of clubs. He ignores two other points as well ; 1st, the great variety of social intliioncts. having little o.' no connection uitli Sunday Closing, which liave led to the formation of clubs. 2nd. the direct and itidirect influence of the liquor trade it-&elf in the creation and support of cluh-. All that Mr. Picku}> >ays iit toply t,o tlii» is. that a? Sunday Oio.«ing was followed hv an in­ crease- of clubs. ii must have been tfie cause of them. Using the same logic, we can say that as the )mblication of om- of -Mr. Pickup’.-* letter' wa.> followed by several local eonvic- tiojis foi drunk.•tiiii-S'. ilier<-foi',. it \v:.s the j cause of tliein.


Mt. Pickup still in.sists that ifio Welsh Sun. i -Mr. Pickup's (dosing .'entence is such a gem


That T .must rt-prodtice it : ‘T’ rai.^e of Sunday Closing usually come- from those who d.. not know hoN\ it works, ami condetuitati.'iit from those who do.”


.Mr. Pickup sliOuld have told u.-i whe, ihe.se


‘ ’knowing*' ones are, that we may do them reverence. Of conr.se they are impartial peo. pie who have no direct or indirect- interest in iho liquoi Irafilc. Msiuiwhilc. Sunday Closing supporters need not bo dismayed at the re­ proach of ignorance, they are in very excellent company. Xonconfonnisis will note that all their conference.? and assemblies are amongst tho 'ignorant.* Churchmen will note that the Archbishop of Conterbury and a whole host of their be.st leaders arc included. Politicians will note that nearly every legislative body in the Empire is of the =ame benighted clas.?. and tho li.st <3ven include^ the member.s of the Hoyal Commission on Licensing (1899) for they Tcpoided favourably on Sunday Closing in Scot, land, Ireland, and Wales, and recommended (1) its extension to Monmouthshire, and i^) reduced -hour.? of .sale in England.


and his friends who ‘ know.* Yes, they know what advances the interest.? of their trade, and that is why they oppo.se Sunday Clo.sing.


All these are ‘ ignorant.’ It is Mr. Pickup Clitheioc.


Your.' .sincerely, A.

T’o the Editor of the Clitlieroe Advertiser. Eir,—I received, this week, a letter contain­


ing the following words, “ Seeing you take a great interest in the cause of putting a stop to cruelty to dumb animals, I venture to ask could I be supplied with a gun same as tho other butchers, as the cattle I kill have to fall with the axe, which is most cruel.” We all know -that the butchers are a verj' respectable body of men who, in the carrying out of their unpleasant business are entitled to the sympathy and help of the public. I am writing to ask whot-her a branch of th -• Council of Justice to ammals could not be brought into axistence in


. Ul riN'i...


ClUhcroe a-jid this district. Tlie^ie branches are called “Mva-t Con^nmers* Leagues,” and their object is to ensure the humane slaugliter of animals. As Christians, wo do not absolutely condenm the killing of animal.s. Wo accept the view that life is organic, and that, therefore, sacrifice, involuntary in the case of the lower animals, and voluntary, and fully conscious, in the ca.«c* of liumnn l>eings, is the law of life, lint still, as Christian.?, we are bound to labour for the removal of every element of cruelty and inhumanity from tho .slaughter of animals. .It is the very least that we can do ag Christ­ ians and humanitarians. I shall bo glad to give full information about tho League to any. one w’lio wishes to join, and at the same time I should like to ask some lover of animals to give a “ humane killer” to the friend wlio wrote to me this week. They cost, .1 believe, about £2 10?. Anyone who has witnessed the (Jeat-li struggle of some strong young bullock, under the old sy.stcm of killing will know wliat a good work they accomplish by providing butchers witli humane killer.?. I shall be glad to give: the particulars to anyone writing to me.


Yours truly, FRANCI.S A. X. PARKER.
