cludes Business and Adjourns.

With a public session in the auditorium OF
the First Congregation Church last even
ing the eighth annual convention of the
American Anti-Saloon League came to an
end. The chief address at this meeting was
made by Rev. DR.. Erwin S. Chapman state
superintendent of southern California. After
the invocation by DIR. Russell, the retiring
superintendent. the assembly sang On
ward, Christian Soldiers" The remainder
of the evening was given up to words OF
cheer for the next years work.
At the afternoon session the report of the
committee on resolutions was adopted
These pronounced the saloon to be the
greatest criminal the world has known.
Congress was commended for refusing 10
repeal the anti-canteen law, and asked to
further appropriate for post exchanges and
furnish suitable places for recreation and
amusements for the soldiers. The res0lu-
tons expressed joy that the saloon had
been driven from the United States Capitoi
building, commended Secretary Moody Tor
his action in regard to the betterment OF
the morals in the navy yards at Bremen
ton and Washington. and urged the prohibit
ton of the sale Of liquors within two miles
of army and navy posts. They also ap-
proved the Dolliver-Hepburn bill making
intoxicating liquors shipped into state
subject to the laws of the state, both pe-
fore and after delivery.
Another resolution was adopted providing
for the appointment of committee 10
confer with Superintendent Baker In regard
to the advisability of calling meeting OF
anti-saloon advocates in the southern
states.
Considerable discussion occurred regard
ing the advisability of declaration or
principle in regard to a total abstinence
pledge, which was finally brought to close
by the declaration of belief that the
contest against the saloon will be furthered
by a general revival of gospel temperance
and a campaign of total abstinence pledge
signing and living"
Rev Henry M Proctor of Atlanta, Ca,
of the national convention of Congrega-
tional workers among the coiored people,
addressed the convention, appealing to the
white man to take the saloon away from
the colored people.
The convention then adjourned to meet
