Bishop Potter startled the members of
the Church Temperance Society at
meeting in the Waldorf Astoria hotel of
New York. Jan. Is. In his address he
said the saloon was a necessity under the
present condition of affairs. Joseph II.
Choate, in a speech, took the opposite
view. The meeting was held to gather
money for the proposed Squirrel Inn, Il
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 ne confined himself al
most wholly to saloons as a social neces-
sity. eve may abuse it, he said, "an-
athematize it, but it is a necessity so far
aa social intercourse, relaxation and re
freshmen are necessities. The saloon eX-
lists because you and | 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 500 year for a
club, and so he frcquents 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,
because he leaves his so-called home, his
wife, his squealing children and seeks in
the brightly-lighted, comfortable saloon
the society of cordial companions?'
The temperance people present We're
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.

he is a brute and ought to be
universally despised. He is
charged with having shot a

who was on his knees before
the Colonel begging for mer-
cy. Metcalf denies the
charge. The matter should
be investigated and if proved
false he ought to be exoner-

he cannot be punished as he
