To THE EDITOR or THE EEws
SIR-The II. |. Temperance Union held
its annual convention az the Christian
Church, Broad street, Wednesday, Octo-
ber 81. looked through my paper CTHE
NEws) Tor report of the convention but
found none.
AT the convention was told that THE
NEWS was not right on the temperance
question. answered that IL the absence
OF q reporter proved that statement it
also proved the same about the other
papers, not excepting the Independent
Citizen.
Furthermore, / made bold TO deduce
from your endorsement OF General Booth
and the Salvation Army, that you were
right on the Temperance question. The
army, TO q man, so Tar as | have met them !,
and have met many, are not half way in
any respect. Religiously they are per-
foctIonists; politically prohibition
ists third party, too. So bY your enthusi-
astic endorsement of them am confident
you are orthodox on the temperance
question. That you did not send re-
the temperance public the grand addresses
made, etc, simply shows thst-well, you
oid not know OF the assembly.
By the way somebody is doing some
thing to help better our race, thou gin they
DO not make much noise. l know an
Gplscopa!lan clergyman tne wears Klu
gloves tool who is abundant in good
works. Last winter he carried scores OF
families through the hard times.
Why cannot endorsement be gixen
to our cls.s OF Christian workers without
snubbing othersf Oh, have no personal
complaint. But when the temperance
people with whom / an not orthodox be-
cause not third party mani find fault
with The NEWS, am sorry TO have them
say: "THE NEWS i. just "a cynical as The
-, and AS treacherous." Respectfully,
GEORGE ". ANDERSON,
Asst. Pastor Tabernacle NJ. h. Church.
p. S. 1t may be that, in some corner of
the NEWS there was a report OF the an
nual il Getting OF the union and / missed
fiuding 1t. Success TO you, especially in
belping to put under ban the gambling

Complaint About a Constable.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
] would Ike to call the attention Of
the proper authorities to the conduct of
the Heurico Constable on duty in the eX-
treme left field at the baseball park this
afternoon.
The parsonage in question walked up
and down with staff about four feet
long and after warning a very small
boy several times to get or the fence,
hit him on the hand by which he was
holding on. When told he would make
the boy fall Off and hurt himself, he
roughly told the speaker 1t was none OF
his business.
Al this time hundreds Of grown and
larger persons were standing on or
against the fence. In many instances with
their entire arms inside. To these the
Constable had nothing TO say.
Several policemen and citizens who
were standing near me Will substantiate
what l say, If necessary. III. I. r.
