DIR. Rainsford described the saloon
as the poor mans club, and after ad-
vising his hearers to visit one to SCI

from the temperance reformers. VIII
liam L. Wardwell, a wellknown ad-
vocate of prohibition. denied the con :.
tention that prohibition produces hyp-
ccrites and declared that the state
ments of both Bishop Potter and DR..
Rainsford We're unfair and entirely
untrue" Mrs. Ella A. Boole,, New
York state president of the w. c. T..
u, said: CAS- to our doing the devils
work, 1t seems strange thing for n
minister of the gospel to say about
thirty thousand Christian women, who
are known to be trying to do the Lord $
work. DR.. Rainsford may not agrea
with us, but ne should be able to rec
ognize the character of our efforts"
Mrs. Clara Hoffman, of Missouri, ac-
ting as spokesman for the national
officers of the w. C. T. u, said: 'Bish-
OPP Potter has arrayed himself with
the saloon element. When he opposes
prohibition he takes the part of the
rum seller and plafes himself on
level with the people of the salooA
which he champions. There is a Sun
day CLOSING law in New York, and
when he opposes Sunday closing, as he
did in his address. he becomes a law
breaker as well as an equal of the
criminal who frequents the saloon"
The opinion of the New York Times
is that the view of Bishop Potter is
one with which sensible men gener-
ally agree. and its advocacy by a pre-
late of such high standing and such
singular devotion and earnestness
must go far toward dissipating the
of the demands of religion. The

But to try to close the saloons of all
sorts on Sunday. in order to accom-
plish the reform of evils common to
only a part of them, is fearful blum
der. The sooner the really pious peo-
pie of the city understand this fact,
the better for all concerned"
The Chicago Record Herald agrees
with the bishops criticism of John
B. Coughs picture of the drunkard:
IF we excuse him for his defects OF
will and character, we must excuse all
the wrong doing in the world in the
same way, sanction every indulgence
of self, repudiate all discipline. deny
the freedom of the will. But the
world is not so generous to other
faults, and the fact is that the drunk
ard is too often coddled and his abuse
is too often coaxed into a repetition by
kind treatment when he should be
abandoned to his own resources and
literally left alone"
