The Minneapolis Crusader is irrepres-
sible. He is known the country over.
not for his originality, but for his per-
sistency in emulating the distinguished
DIR. Parkhurst, of New York. The Cru
saders of this city, however. work spas
medically, so much so that there
have been frequent remarks that
there must have been some ul-
rerlor motive in their crusading.
During the Winston administration
they made merry war on the saloon
keeper. and for the most part it was for
political effect. Mayor Eustis, then
plain William Henry. was one of the
active members of the league. He con-
trlbuted not only his moral, but finan-
clal support. When he was elected
mayor it was supposed that the Cru
sader had gone to his lair, and would
not show his head at least during the
period of tine Eustis reign.
But such was not the case. He has
bobbed up serenely, at divers times and
places, much to the chagrin and worri-
ment OF the honorable mayor, who has
become thoroughly disguised with the
human enigma he at one time helped to
create. Dean Sudduth. of the dental
school, has of late taken up the cudgel
in behalf of the Law Enforcement
league. He is proving himself yerita.
bic Parkhurst, two Morrills rolled into
one. Yesterday, in speaking of the
work of the Crusaders. he said:
1--WE are in the fight to stay. We in
tnt-
men of this city that it makes no differ
ence to them what party or what man is
in charge of the city government, and
that no matter what promises candi-
dates may make before election, they
absolutely can't deliver the goods.
'Within the week we will have begun
the prosecution of number of viOlatorS
OF the liquor laws. We intend to show
the saloon men that they must obey the
laws made for the regulation of their
business or suffer the consequences.
There are men in this city who are
obeying the law. We have found many
saloons closed, but we have fifty or sixty
cases against saloonkeepers, and we are
not confirming ourselves to the mere
prosecution for keeping open on Sunday
this time, but shall charge them also
with selling liquor on Sunday, with
selling to students. which, l believe,
is violation of state law, with
selling to habitual drupkards and to
minors. and to pessons already drunk
and diSOrderly. These are practices
which even the mayor does not defend.
Further than that, we are going to per-
feet a permanent and thorough Organi-
cation for this reform movement cover
ing the entire city. We now have it Or
gained in seven of the wards, and the
remainder will be organized immediate
ly after election. Then we will have
central city committee composed OF one
member from each precinct in the
city, which shall have it's own
offices and subcommittee for the
furtherance of this reform work. We
are going to fight this thing systematic
cally. We have been little sporty in
the past, it is true, but it was because
we were studying the situation. We
have discovered that it makes little diff
ference which party is in. At the time
OF the last election we had sixty cases
against saloon ordinance violators,
with the evidence already in
shape. but relying Oh the remarks of
MIR. EuStiS, at the famous Union league
meeting, where he tragically pleaded to
have the sons and daughters of his fell
low men taken from the path to hell,
and not desiring to endanger the cleo
ton of so earnest supporter of law and
order as he, we dropped our cases. 1t
was mistake. We will not be SO mis-
taken again. The reputable people of
this community are behind US in this
movement"
