WAR ON WH!SKEY TRAFFIC.
Temperance Advocates in Earnest and
Will Fight.

adelphia, ectured in Grace NJ. Ech"rch,
last night. Doctor kynctt's subject was,
''The Saloon Traffic" He said in part:
81 am here tonight to plead for the
union OF Christian alliances against the
saloon traffic. We have in history, three
historic triple alliances: First, England,
Sweden, and the Netherlands against
Louis XIV, OF France, formed i'll the
year 1868. Second, England, France
and the Netherlands supposed to be
against Charles MI, OF Sweden, but
chiefly directed against Spain, formed in
the year I'LL. austria entered this
alliance, and it was afterwards known as
the quadruple alliance), and, Third,
Germany, Italy and Austria, against
Russia and France, formed in the
year 1888. The alliance, for which
we plead, governed by the same condi-
tions as those. The saloon represents
all the evils Of the liquor system and it is
impossible to catalogue its satanic char
acter. This devil may well confess,
My name is legion The success of the
saloon depends upon the creation OF
appetite in the boys Of the nation. After
4 man is grown, his habits are formed,
and it is very hard matter to change
them. The Rev. George Stewart once
said, 'One family out of every six fur
nishes boy as q sacrifice, every year,
to the saloon DEVIL The saloon men
must have one hundred thousand boys
next year, or their business will suffer.
The saloons are the headquarters for the
creation Of appetite, for it is in them the
saloon men gather their recruits.
The liquor traffic seizes the sources OF
political power, dictates to the bosses
and makes the laws and government
under which we live. Ii makes laws in
the interest OF its business, and repeals
those not in it's favor. With security it
sits upon the throne OF its power and
laughs at its defeated and disordered
| foes.
The American Anti Saloon League has
but one object in view, and that is that
the saloon must 50. It proposes, as one
of its plans, the formation OF auxiliaries
in every State. It's model is Organize
Educate, Pcrscvcre.' Ii is not supposed
to supersede any organization warning
against the saloon.
The Church of Christ leads in tic
movement for universal alliance, and
the League coyets an alliance, offensive
and defensive, with any soldier OF Jesus
Christ. Give us a universal alliance, ,and
the issue will not be doubted.
The only attitude,of Christians against
the liquor traffic should be unrelent-
ing hostility. The church ought to be
known, always and everywhere, as the
uncompromising and relentless foe OF
this traffic. An alliance, of all the anti
saloon organizations, would avoid all
reasonable ground for opposition, except
by our enemy.
We ought to crush the saloon business
in our midst within the next decade. 1t
is gigantic octopus, whose tentacles
reach over land and sea, leaving no 81,
object untouched. Its unity cannot be
broken. 1t must be confronted and
overcome by the united efforts OF all. By
acting together, we can make local
option, local prohibition. The only ell
sign, lifted above the horizon at the
present time for an alliance, is that Of
the anti-Saloon League.
You have local option under the new
constitution of Delaware. BE ready fol
the ultimate end toward whicA all efforts
to crush the saloons should be directed
should be the entlenchment Of prohibi
ton in organic law. The campaign fol
this entrenchment will come again, fol
the American people will never accept 9
result bought by money or reached by
corrupt means. We should plant a cam
paign where victory will be final anc
complete. The first need for the carry
ing on OF this campaign is organization
The second, money resources to be useC
for communication with the different
members OF the cause.
