MAYOR NEWMAN'S FIAT.

He Would Net Allow an Antf-SaIoon
Agitation Meeting In His Church.
When 1t became noised about some
weeks ago that the liquor law Of last
year was to be repealed, that lower
license fee was to be charged, and that
saloons were going to allowed to be open
after noon on Sundays, the good people OF
Bayonne made up their minds to fight
such a state of affairs, at least some Of
the people did, or more properly speaking
some of the ministers did. The pastors of
the First Presbyterian Church, the Re-
formed. the Baptist and the Episcopal
Churches determined to hold a union
temperance service at the First Presby-
terian Church, when they would take oc-
casion to denounce such measures and In
sist on the present law.
The pastors consulted the trustees of
their churches, and, as the Rev. MIR.
Drew, of the Baptist Church. said, "Here
we struck snag." Most of the pastors
are Republicans. A number CT the trus-
tees are Democrats.
The Democrats called a halt, and said
politics should not be introduced in the
churches. The Baptist trustees refused
to participate in the temperance services,
and Mr.. Drew was told he must not give
up his own Sunday night services. The
Rev. Messrs. Arrowsmith of the Episco-
pal and Riggs of the Reformed Churches
were willing 10 go on till they heard that
Senators Mcdonald and Werts had said
the law would not be changed. then they,
too, were of the opinion a mass meeting
was unnecessary.
But the real trouble, some folks say,
was not due to politics in its general
sense, but more properly speaking in an
individual sense.
Mayor Newman is prominent mem
Ter of the First Presbyterian Church, and
u trustee. The pastor, Rev. NJ. Jones, is
superintendent of schools When the
consulting ministers on the union service
suggested the First Presbyterian Church,
Mr.. Jones demurred and SAID he would
have TO consult the session. When he con-
suited the session. it decided the church
could not be used. The trustees are not
members of the session, but they are in
finential In anything concerning the
church, and their opinion is of some
weight.
Mayor Newmann's term expires Ia the
spring, and he is anxious for another
term To have the church oppose the
liquor men would lose him many votes, it
was thought, so he politely hinted the
services should not be held in his church.
Suffice it to say the services were not
held.
l visited the pastors of the several
churches and also saw some of the prom
inent church laymen, but all said politics
had nothing TO do with the case, that
the assurance of Senators Mcdonald and
Werts, that the law would not be changed
was sufficient, and to hold meeting in
face of this assurance would have stamped
the participants as fanatics.
/ did not see Mayor Newman. but an in
innate friend of his said:-"There's no
flies on our Mayor. These church people
were crying before they were hit, that's
all, and the Mayor politely told them to
shut up. That's all there's in it.''
