LICENSE ARGUMENT ROUsEs MEETING.
Ministers Attack One of Their Number Who
Favors It.

The liquor question the general topic before
the Baptist Ministers Conference at the Twenty
third-st. branch of the Y NJ. C. A. yesterday. The
meeting was not open to the public, but the mem
bers were more than usually stirred up and more
than usually communicative to reporters. The
Rev. Norman Fox of Morristown. N. j. the
speaker for the day, and his theme Re
striction of the Liquor Traffic Mr.. Fox was
Mayor of Morristown not long ago. and before
that member Of the Excise Board of that
city for two years.
His address was argument for the high license
system properly conducted and he drew parallel
between Morristown and Portland. Me. Among
other things he said:
Under the license system in effect in New-Jersey
more be done to suppress saloons that are
than in Portland Because the State iieznse I can
be taken away and the place can be closed.
number of members vehemently attacked Mr..
Fox. Three censured him, because he Christian
minister should make argument In favor of
the saloon. DR.. Fox said sharply:
call the brother to order I have not made
argument in favor of the saloon, or Of the liquor
what is the best the really effective. means of
stricting the traffic.
The Rev. Mr.. Morris. colored. said that DR.. Fox
could not expect to avoid being hotly attacked.
For him to expound such views in an assembly Of
Christian ministers like in a red coat
going into field where there were fifty bulls
when you issued license you granted the pro-
lection OF the city to the business" declared one
minister.
st did not retorted DR.. Fox, except so far as
every business entitled to protection. The
license system implies that every one running a
business in a legitimate way is entitled to the
protection Of the law the same as every other
business man. BY requiring him to take out a
license you merely exercise certain control over
him. for you take it away if he abuses the
privilege. .-o
The Methodist Preachers Meeting, at No. $50
Fifth-ave., passed resolutions opposing any amend
ment of the State Excise law which would !egallze
the opening of the saloons on Sunday. A COM
