made enough to pay his court-plaster bill.
Although in the opinion of the patrons of
knuckle sport Monk put up a first class
fight, il is said that Mr.. Holcomb has said
some evil things and made many disparag-

Robinson. Monk has heard of these and

CHRISTIANS AND THE SALOONS,
Rev. DR.. Davis Wants Church People
to Make an Active Fight,

Rev. Dr. Davis. pastor Of the Fifteenth
Street NJ. E. Church, preached yesterday on
the liquor traffic in it's relate to law, GUS
tom and public opinion. He called Chris
tians to account for their cowardliness in
permitting the liquor traffic to be counte-
nanced by law and public opinion, and gave
the liquor people credit for fighting from
the shoulder in defense of their law-protect-
ed business. He drew his text from second
chapter of Matthew, and the 18th verse
Rachel weeping for the destruction of her
children by Herod." We had here in the
city of Washington, he said, loo places
licensed for the sale of liquor and two spe-
cial saloons over which the flag of the ma
ton foated, and where, he said, Senators
and Congressman time and again became SO
drunk that they were disgrace to them
selves and to their country. He declared
that he had seen this. These places were
backed by law. That law was backed by
public opinion, else it could not continue to
be law. He-od. in the destruction of those
little children, was also backed by law The
destruction of those children was in con-
iormity of the law. Public opinion sane
power. 1t would have fallen. With the
proper education of public opinion, the in
fanny of the saloon would be as readily
acknowledged as the infamy of Herod
ne laws rejected the opinions OF the law
makers and the opinions of the law makers
Were largely those entertained by their con-
stituents. If the opinions of the constitu-
ents were not favorable to liquor license
their representatives would not dare to
license it, The church people, he said, were
the biggest towards that God had created
They would stand around in their pews and
meeting houses and whine and whimper
against the curse of the saloon. 1t was a
duty they owed to themselves and to their
God to fight the public opinion and the law
which permitted the curse. Preach We're
very brave i'm talking in their pulpits where
there was nobody to contradict them That
would not do. They We're unworthy the
name of Christian if they did, not take the
field and fight reasonably and logically.
The saloon was curse. but talking about it
in the church would not cure the evil The
liquor men laughed at them and would con-
tinue to laugh at them so long as they pur-
sued that method of warfare. They must
be met at the ballot box Here in the Dis
trict, as they had no vote, they should or
ganize and every preacher. Protestant and
Catholic, should go to the President and
make him feel that they were power He
would heed them. The Commissioners, he
said, hunted for garbage in the back Yards
and left these moral cesspools on every
square and corner The latter caused more
pestilence. famine. suffering and misery
than cholera or smallpox.
