Bishop Potter startled the members of
the Church Temperance Society at a
meeting in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel of
New York, Jan. 10. In his address he
said the saloon was necessity under the
present condition of affairs. Joseph FL.
Choate, in speech, took the opposite
view. The meeting was held to gather
money for the proposed Squirrel Inn, a
temperance establishment for the Bow
cry, where the working people can go
and spend their evenings. Bishop Potter
was to speak upon 'The church and in
temperance" but he confined himself al
most wholly to saloons as a social neces-
sity. eve may abuse it," he said, "an-
athematize it, but it is necessity so far
as social intercourse, relaxation and re-
freshment are necessities. The saloon ex
lists Lecause you and I have given our
brother no better things. 1t is the truth.
You may not like to hear it, but so it is.
We who belong to the so-called favored
classes have our clubs. But the poor
man cannot afford 800 year for a
club, and SO he frequents the saloon.
Let there be no mistake; the man who
keeps saloon defends it, and justly, as
the poor mans club. There are more
poor than rich, more saloons than
clubs. The man who seeks the saloon
and who says it is the poor mans club
tells the truth. Can anyone blame the
poor laboring man, weary of his work,
haoouao ha loaya hia ao-ral1ed home his
wife, his squealing children and seeks in
the brightly-lighted, comfortable saloon
the society of cordial compartment"
The temperance people present were
startled at such sentiments from Bishop
Potter, but he was thoroughly in earnest.
His address had the effect to cause the
rich men present to go deeper into their
pockets for finance to establish the SPUR
rel Inn.

McKinley's Message
Makes Favorable
Impression.
PLEASES GERMANY and FRANCE.
Presidents Tactful Words
Contrasted With Cham
berlain's Utterances.

Berlin, Dec. 6.-The message sent to
congress yesterday by President Nc
Kinley has been most alphabetically
received by newspaper and government
circles in Germany. This is especially
true of the foreign office, where one of
the highest officials told the represent
alive of the Associated Press that the
document had made a splendid impress
sion. The distinctively warm tone of
the message will tend in an important
manner to deepening and strengthening
the friendship of the two countries ma
terially, and to removing difficulties and
settling the meat and sugar questions
still pending.
Herr Barth, in the Nation, will say:
THE most important thing in the mes
sage for the economic interests of the
world is the proposition to put the
United States more squarely on the
gold standard. 1t is the last kick to BIZ
metallism."
The National Zeitung says: 'Presi-
dent McKinley's words in referring to
Germany, plainly show a favorable re-
vulsion of sentiment towards us. In
Germany the friendly words of the
American president will be appreciated
at their full value. Germany also ear
nestly desires to maintain the best re-
lations with America and the fullest
mutual loyalty and friendship in econ
omically competing"
The Boersen-Zeitung and other finan-
cial papers express qualification al
President McKinley's references to the
currency question.
The Vossiche Zeitung says: His ref
erences to Germany are as cordial as
could be expected in an official docu-
ment"
The Post expresses great satisfaction
at the fact that President Mckinley
Openly showed his appreciation OF
Germany's efforts at colonization, anG
recognized the strength of her colon
izing influence adding: Mr. McKin
ley's kindly words will find a respon-
sive echo in Germany"

Roberts would be allowed to be present
With counsel if he desired, and would

Der of witnesses here and some in Utah
but it is probable that the committee

Mr, Taylor said the arguments in
electlon cases were usually open to the
public, but he had some doubt as to
whether the hearings, particularly such
parts as involved family matters
should be open
| Mr.. Roberts was about the House

most of the time in chatting with the
members and visitors who showed q
| friendly disposition toward him He
