WILLING TO BE A MARTYR.
Rev. Rabotcau Wants to BE
Arrested Inxtend of His Nrga lists

The action of the Hudson County Liauor
Dealers Association in passing a resolu-
tion to enforce the old blue laws in case
the ~clergymen continue their crusade
against Sunday liquor selling was made
the subject of rmo by a number Of
ministers yesterday. The Rev. Claude
Raboteau. of the Parmly Memorial Bap-
list Church, regarded their attitude as
a good joke. Among other things he
said.=
we are to be congratulated on the fact
that this novel resolution may permit
some of the saloon keepers to cross The
portals of a Christian church. an expe-
rience, ] suspect, that a large number
of them rave never enjoyed in their
lives. Today an unexpected triumph has
come to the Law and Order League, Not
My will the liquor dealers give us an
other dry Sunday, but they propose az
tending church.! Surely it is an age Of
wonders, but such an event is the most
extraordinary that has ever happened in
the annals of our city.
1T is too bad to make San ORGANISE a
scaregoat for the vengeance the saloon
keepers propose to wreak upon the
Church Next week they may begin war
against the preachers. They. too. mist
be violating he Sunday law in fulfilling
their professional duties for pay. II
suen a plan can be carried out then we
shall have another opportunity of preach
Ing the Gospel to the saloon keepers, and
