WAR ON THE SALOONS.
A crusade against saloons has been
started in this city by the Anti-Saloon
League. The purpose is to combine the
churches Of the city in an effort to abolish
saloons. Addresses were made yesterday
in fifty or more of the city churches
Rev. 10. "A Henry. State superintendent
of the league. spoke at <Parll-Avenue
Methodist church. and in part said:
I'VE want to accomplish a federation of
all the churches to work against the
saloons. This is the first time in the his
tory of the temperance reform movement
that there has been a plan in which the
churches of all deron1i nations can COM
bine. The reason is that in the minds of
ministers and laymen there is firm con-
viction that there is I. finish fight on be-
tween the church and the saloon. One or
tie other is right; one or the other Is:
wrong One must triumph If the saloon
stays, the church must go. The solution
of the problem is in the church. The
charge cannot be turned over to any
other body. The saloon is hostile to Chris
tia1lity, to citizenship and to true Ameri-
canisn!.
Dir. Parkllurss has startled the religious
Community by coming out in favor of
opening the saloon for part Of the day
each Sunday. He says that it will be bet
ter to do this than to have q law to close
the saloons and then disregard the law.
