CHICAGO DON'T WANT HER.
Woolley Advises Mrs. Nation to Stay
in Kansas.

Chicago. Feb. 6--John G. WooHey.
candidate for president of the United
States on the Prohibition ticket in 1900.
while commencing the course Of Mrs.
Nation in Kansas, deprecates her pro
posed visit to Chicago.
Mr.. Woolley takes the position that
the saloons Of Chicago are licensed by
law. and that no one has the right to
interfere with them except the state leg
islature- Speaking of Mrs. Nations pro-
posed visit, Mr. Woolley said:
Il think 1t IS no wonder that Mrs Ma
ton and those with her have felt driven
to so violent a course in opposing the
saloons of Kansas and showing their re-
sentiment at the betrayal of the law by
the officials of that state, especially the
governor who has had at all times the
power to enforce the law with a good
deal Of sympathy for these unpopular
crusaders.
7 have heard that Mrs Nation and
her followers are planning a crusade in
Chicago. 1t seems to me that such ac-
ton would deprive them Of much Of the
sympathy they have aroused, and in a
great measure destroy their further use
fulness. The saloon is perfectly lawful
in Chicago and entitled to the protection
of the law under which it exists, and
should be surprised If even our strong
temperance people in Chicago did not
resent the removal of the Kansas fight.
which has in it at least some measure
OF righteousness, to this city, where as
the law stands it would certainly be
wrong.
ssThe saloons Of Chicago. it is true,
habitually and persistently defy the
Sunday law and other restrictive pro-
visions. but the appropriate remedy for
interference of citizens Of another state,
however well disposed.

TO CHRISTIAN WOMEN
Bishop Potter Tells of the Work That
Needs Be Done

New York, Feb. 6.-'sAn earnest word
to Christian women was the title Of an
extemporaneous address which Bishop
Potter delivered in the auditorium OF
the Women's Christian association Tie
occasion was that Of the annual meeting
OF the organization. The bishop com
plimented the women on their work, ard
continuing said
Those who need your work most are
the women. You are dealing with great
social foundations. What your associa-
ton stands for underlies all the moral
and civic questions with which we a :
present are graphing. You cannot
clean this city or any other city without
making its people clean, and creating
such conditions as viii help men az.o
women to lead lives Of virtue and good
ness.
Nothing has ever happened in the
history Of New York Of more conse-
quence than the development Of the y.
W. O. A. from purely religious agen~
to its present sphere Of work. The dis
eliminating between soul and body is an
entirely unscientifc and unphilOsoph1
one. If the physical part is cut on one
loses sensih1lity. and on the other hard
the aspirations and qualities OF the soul
can be expressed only through the phys
icai faculties
In this city, fortunately. we have
awakened to that fact. and even II those
who are performing that arduouS tas1
for us are not making a great deal Of
noise they are still doing good and i'm
pOrtant work
I'm fact throughout almost the entire
Christian world the same struggle is
being taken up. A. should perhaps ex-
cept Boston, which seems to exist IN
such an atmosphere of lofty virtue that
there is no need for any John the Bap-
tist Crying in the Wilderness.
The cause OF the present perturbation
is To be found in certain condition Of our
civic life which have a relation to vir-
tue on one hand and to vice on the
other-conditions that we have not as
vet realized, but which we viii have
to realize in the future with a great
deal Of pain, suffering and sacrifice per
