Eastern Shore Ddy.-Thursday was
Eastern Shore day at the GlyndOn
Prohibition camp, near Baltimore, the
services being largely in the hands of
Eastern ShOreman. Early in the after.
noon a service was held in the memory
of Mr.. Walter F. Hartman of Queen
Anne county, Nd, who was one OF the
most enthusiastic PrOhibitiOnists on the
Eastern Shore.
The Rev. John A. B. Wilson, presid-
ing elder of the Dover district of the
Wilmington Conference presided. Eu.
lOgistic addresses were made by the
Rev. w. NJ. Strayer, president of the
Maryland Conference of the Metho.
dist Protestant Church; the Rev.
Ralph T. COursey and the Rev. Alfred
Smith of MiddletOwn, Delaware.
Later in the afternoon the Rev. Al
fred Smith made an address on "Who
is Guilty ?" He was speaking of drunk.
enGess as a crime, and claimed that
the man who drank was as guilty as the
principal, and that the liquor seller,
the manufacturer, the signer of petit
tiOns for license, the owners of prop
erty in which liquor is sold, the law
makers and the people generally were
particeps criminis. A government
for the people, and by the people is,
by its very nature, responsible, he
said.
At night the Rev. John A. B. Wilson
made an address on THE Relation of
the Government to Temperance Re-
FORMS" He discussed the subject
fully, and argued for placing the res
possibility for all the evils growing
out of the liquor traffic upon the peo-
pie who make the laws by which the
people are governed.
