Union Meetings.

The attendance was very large last even
ing filling the entire audience room and
crowding into the gallery, The chorus o.
singers was larger than usual, and under
the direction of DR.. Keller did good ser
vice.
Mr.. E. w. Spencer and his crusaders
were out early in the evening singing at
the post office and several places on Hi
nois street, thus defying public sentiment
and bringing upon themselves unfriendly
criticism and harsh remarks. Mr.Spencer
is regarded as partially insane on this sub
ject. That sort of people are possessed
with the insane idea that they have right
to intrude themselves upon anybody and
to disturb others in their daily avocations
if they claim to be acting in behalf OF rellg-
ion There never was crazer idea enter
talpel. They have precisely the same
right TO invade mans private residence
al they have to occupy places belonging
equally to all the people. Let them stick
70 places over which they have exclusive
control, and they will have the good will O
all. If they insist upon usurping contro
Of places where others shave equal rights
with themselves they will provoke an OPP
position which will compel Ethem to retire
as it has done in the large cities.
As evidence that Mr.. Spencer is crazy
on the subject OF forcing himself and hi
crusaders into places they have no RICH
to appropriate to their uses, we publish
