Speaks About Evil
of Saloon

OAKLAND, June 49, = The thirty
eighth annual commencement of st.
Mary's College of this city and the
graduation exercises of the Sacred
Heart College of San Francisco We're
held this afternoon in Ye Liberty The-
ater. The large building was crowded
with friends and relatives of the grad
Mtes.
The heat in the crowded auditorium
was intense. One .~of the graduates
tainted on the stage during the address
by Bishop Montgomery. The five men
and the subjects discussed Were: Mu-
nicipal Ownership" John j. Rooney;
Public Conscience" Edward A. O'Dea;
Socialism a Mere Theory" John f,
Brady; "A Bicentenary Study of Frank
lin," Walter B. Hinkle, and ideals in
Life" Leo ]. Mccarthy. Short speeches
were also made by Hon. Frank j. Mu-
rasky and by Archbishop Montgomery.
The musical numbers were by the col
lege orchestra and the two college
quartets.
Twenty-four young men were gradu-
ated from St Marys College and from
Sacred Heart College of San Francisco
there were four.
In his address before the members of
the graduating class the Most Rev.
Archbishop Montgomery said in part:
Il am glad to speak on, this side of
the bay just at this time. We of San
Francisco asked you, the people of Oak
land, favor a little time ago. And
you did not grant it. We asked you to
close the saloons, but you got so thirsty
that you couldn't keep them closed. /
am not here to talk temperance this
afternoon. but l would like to say a
few words.
Now why was it that Oakland did
not grant our request? Was it lack
of public conscience? Was it a lack of
public opinion? Perhaps the public
taken collectively was against il, but
then, on the other hand, if we had had
opportunity to search out each individ-
ual and ask him his opinion in regard
to the matter l am sure that there
would not be a single saloon open In
Oakland today. There you have it.
The trouble is that those who are on
the side of the good are doing hard
The other side is working hard and
they seem at present to have the ma
jority.
IF there is one thing that will bring
me around in favor of woman suffrage
it is the temperance question, for had
all the women in the country the right
to vote against this great evil long be-
fore this there wouldn't have been
saloon open. 1t is by welding con-
science for the right, and by that way
only, that we can have temperance"
Shortly after the big firs the students
of the colleges held mass meetings and
decided to donate the money usually
used in purchasings honor medals for
repairing the tdamag aged college build
ings. Consequently there were no spe-
cial examinations held this year for
the special honorS.
Arrangements have been completed
whereby the Sacred Heart College in
I o.
September. 4. The students have been
housed in the ST. Mary's College build
ing since the earthquake and have com
pieted the studies of the college year
in that institution. st. Marys College,
which will also reopen early in Sep
tember, expects to have the largest en-
rollment in its history during the cur
rent year.
