REV. MR.. CoNIBEARs STATEMENT.
The Rev. G.. A. Conibear, president OF
the city union Of the Christian Endeavor
societies, wrote this statement:
81 have been very glad TO see the effort
of The News along the line OF moral re-
form. I was pleased at the crusade
against Crescent Park as its doings on
Sunday alone are enough to condemn IL
in the eyes of good citizens and self re-
specting people. The News Is TO be COM
mended heartily In It's present movement
concerning the so-called 'Tenderloin dis
trict.' That vice abounds Is apparent to
all, and 1t can only exist In such meas

as the officials. IL is aNlegitimate func-
tion of a newspaper to work for better
government and righteousness Why not?
THE News should receive the support
OF all who love righteousness and desire
better things iri the city.
THE Christian Endeavor Union OF the
city is contemplating some special work
I'm the interest OF Christian citizenship
and believe that all OF the Endeavorers
will feel encouraged at the movement
carried on by The News. In all probabil-
fly. this matter will receive special con-
