BISHOP BELIEVES IN REFORMS,

Bishop Henry g Potter of New
York, is prominent among the great
divines of the country who believes IN
regulating the saloon by surrounding
it with protective and humane features
rather than by waging relentless and
useless war upon it. Upon this same
line the pastor of one of Chicago's
largest and most influential churches
is having a roof garden built upon
the edifce, where concerts and like
entertainments can be had, and the
church body wants we'll regulate
saloon, Invested of all usual attendant
evils, connected with the church and
to be owned and operated by the
church. By this liberal policy it is
believed that men can be won to the
church rather than driven from 1t,
This plan is their own, and its success
or failure Will be watched with inter
est Only day or two ago Bishop
Henry G.. Potter delivered the princia
pal address at the formal opening of
''The Sub Way Tavern" model sa-
loon which was established by num-
Der of leaders in the reform movement
in that city. The purpose of the pro-
motors of the enterprise is to serve
pure liquor and food at low prices I'M
der the best possible moral condition
In his address Bishop Potter said the
keynote had been struck by this at
tack on the liquor situation. He said
he believed in the old village tavern
as meeting place where a long even
ing could be spent without the neces
sity of intoxication. 81 belong to a

This Is the greatest social movement
New York has ever known. 1t is a

take into account if you would save

ed by wishing every success to the
movement. The formal opening end
