PLEADING FOR SALVATION
The land committee presented the pro-
posed ordinance prohibiting the obstruc.
ton of the streets and sidewalks in the
central portion of the city. the exempted
district in which was published in The
HERALD ON Sunday. In connection with
the new law the following communication
from Brigadier J. j. Keppel, of the Saliva
ton Army, dated at San francisco, was
read by title:
streets of your city, we understand that
your honorable body have under consider
alton the advsability of passing an ordi-
nance to prohibit all street meetings,
which decision, if carried out, will work a
great injury aud ha rdship to the members
of our organization, who, in the years gone
by, as your honorable body are certainly
aware. have endeavored 20 use the liber-
ties and privileges guaranteed to them by
the constitution of the United States only
for the purpose of helping and bettering
the moral and social conditions Of the nom
churcll-going masses.
with malice towards none and with
charity towards ALL we have gone ahead
with our work without interfering with
other peoples politics or religion and with
a spirit of Willingness to aid and assist all
influences and efforts-whether civil OF re-
ligious-which tended towards the bringing
about OF better and higher standard of
morals in the community. we beg to state
that. in our opinion, the influence for good
exerted by our three corps of churches in
your city (Which have a combined congre.
cation of about 1000 people) should not
fail to be considered by you in this matter.
And while We do not come before you to-
day to ask for favors and privileges that
cannot be extended to others, we do sim
cerely trust that such good counsel will
prevail. that provision will be made, where.
by the disturbing and lawless elements,
whether in the form of so-called and un-
authorized religionists. CT imported anar-
chists) may be dealt with as their case de.
serves, without hindering and injuring the
labors OF others, whose motives and labors
are truly sincere and meritorious.
We would favor the enactment, by the
city council, of an ordinance making the
use OF improper language, of the assem-.
bling of crowds Of people to the obstruc-
ton of public travel. misdemeanor on
tne part OF any person who would thus
abuse the privileges Of speaking on the
public streets.
In conclusion, we will confidently rest
our case with your honorable body. and
while we loyalty pledge ourselves to the
support of any ordinance that is within
keeping with the spirit of liberty and right,
we cannot, at this time, make any prom.
ises as to what action we should take in
the event of these eternal principles being
set aside and violated to the injury and
hindrance of our work.
The ordinance was adopted and the
communication from Brigadier KeppeI
was filed, the new law being, it is stated,
satisfactory to the Salvation Army.
