Gives Sntisfnction.

Member johnson: Il voted for Latenser,
not because | desired to show him any
partlality over other architects, but be-
cause he is now finishing three new build
ings for the board which l know from per-
sonal inspection to be eminently sat's-
factory. He has also constructed ten other
school buildings which | know to be beyond
criticism in design and construction TINS
is not a question of saving money, as an
other architect would be paid exactly the
same, and there is no question OF economy
involved. This is simply a question OF the
best man and l believe in retaining Laten-
ser lust as ] would re-employ a doctor or
lawyer who had given good satisfaction"
Member Howard: "Ordinarily | would be
In favor of giving all architects an oppor-
tunity to secure the High school work, but
In this case we were obliged to act at once.
We have been admonished that the present
High school building is unsafe and we want
to replace it with a suitable structure at
the earliest moment possible. l was no
active partisan of Latenser, and, in fact,
would have preferred another firm of archi-
tects. 1t was apparent. however, the most
of the board was in favor of Latenser, and
as | assured myself on inquiry that he was
in every way a first-class architect l gave
my vote
Member Barnard: 81 voted for Latenser
because he is a specialist in school house
construction and has proven his worthtness
in the work already done. ! can see no
more reason for advertising for bids in the
case Of an architect than | can in that OF an
attorney. His services are professional and
we are simply looking for the best man.
There was no intention on the part of any
member Of the board to show any favorit-
ism to Latenser; his work simply speaks for
itself. Experts in construction who have
inspected the Cass school, recently COM
pleted by Latenser, say that it is one of the
finest sixteen-room school buildings in the
country"
Member Wood, the fifth of the new in
cumbents, is out of the city and could not
be reached.
Referring to his election Mr.. Latenser
saws: 81 did not solicit the votes of any
of the members and had no knowledge that
they intended giving me the High school
work. My election on Monday night was a
total surprise to me. If [ cannot undertake
the task with clean skirts, however,, l will
resign the position."

The President Arraigne d.

8. We charge upon President Mckinley,
who. was elected by appeal to Christian
srti rte,rt and: patriotism .that, by his con-
spic,ldus example as a. vine driaker at pub
Lie banquets and wfne-servfng host in the
White HOUSE, he has ifope. more to .enceny,
age the: liquor. business. to aamoraiiee the
temperance habits Of young rheh:: :and to
bring Christian practices and requirements
into disrepute than any other President
this republic has had We further charge
upon him responsibility for the army can
teen, with all it's dire brood of disease, i'm
morality, sin and death, in this country, in
Cuba, in Porto Rico and the Philippines !;
and we insist that by his attitude concern
ing the canteen, and his apparent contempt
for the vast number of petitions and petit
TONERS protesting against it he has out
ragged and insulted the moral sentiment of
this country in such manner and to such
degree as call for it's righteous uprising
and his indignant and effective rebuke
We challenge denial of the fact that our
chief executive, as communicated of
the military forces of the United States, at
any time prior to or since March 2, 1899
could have closed every army saloon, called
a canteen, by executive order, as President
Hayes in effect did before him. We assert
Backbone. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. ;) 1897-1906, 1900-07-01

that the act Of Congress, passed March 2.
1899, forbidding the sale Of liquor, sin any
post, exchange or canteen,'I by any off
Ger or private soldier, or by any other per-
son, on any premises used for military pur-
poses by the United States" was and is
as explicit an act of prohibition as the
English language can frame; we declare
our solemn belief that the attorney gen.
eral of the United States, in his interpre-
tation of that law, and the secretary Of
war, in his acceptance of that interpre-
tation, and his refusal to enforce the law
were and are guilty of reasonable nuli-
fication thereof, and that President Nc
Kinley, through his assent to and endorse
ment of such Interpretation and refusal ,,n
the part of officials appointed by and re-
sponsble to him, shares responsibility In
their guilt; and we record our conviction
that a new and serious peril confronts our
country, in the fact that it's president, at
the behest of the beer power, dare abrogate-
law of Congress, through subordinates re-
movable at will by him and whose acts
become his, and thus virtually coofasses
that laws are to be administered, or 20
be nullifed, in the interests of a law-defy-
ing business, by an administration under
mortgage to such business for support.

We call attention to the fearful fact
that expectation of liquors from the Uni
ted States to the Philippine islands in
creased from 1897 in 1893 to $467, in
the first ten months of the fiscal year end
ing June 1, 1900; and that while our ex-
portation of liquors to Cuba never reached
100000 year, previous to American oc-
cupation of that island, our exports Of
of 1899, reached the sum of $629,655

Call to floral and Christian Citizenship.

6. One great religious body (the Bap-
tist) having denounced the liquor traffic as
"a thing unchristian un-American and per-
ilOus utterly to every interest in life"
another (the Methodist) having asserted
that " no political party. has a right to
Christian men so long as it stands COM
mitted to the license system or refuses to-
put itself on record in an attitude of open
hostility to the saloon - other great relig-
ious bodies having made similar deliver
ances as to the liquor traffic and the duty
of Christian citizenship in opposition
thereto; and the fact being undeniable that
les stand for license, the saloon and the
canteen, we declare ourselves justified in
expecting that Christian voters everywhere
shall cease their completely with the liquor
curse by refusing to uphold liquor party.
and shall unite themselves with the only
party which upholds the Prohibition pol
icy and which for nearly thirty years has
the state, the home and the school against
the saloon, it's expanders and nerpetuta-
tors, their actual and persistent foes.
We insist that no differences of belief
as to any other question or concern of gov
eminent, should stand in the way of
zenship as we hereby invite, for the speedy
settlement of this paramount moral, in

Foreign Liquor Policy Condemned.

4. We are Inundated, exasperated and
grieved by the evidence painfully abund-
ant that this administrators policy of ex
pansion is bearing so rapidly it's first fruits
the hot house sun of the tropics; and that
when the president Of the first Philippine
commission said: 1T was unfortunate
that we introduced and established the sa-
loon there to corrupt the natives and to.
exhibit the vices of our race" we charge
the inhumanity and unchristianity Of thjs
act upon which William Mckinley, and
upon the party which elected him and
would perpetuate his policy.
