At the meeting of the District union Mon
day evening resolutions were adopted to
the effect that 1.-The Christian Endeavorers
of the District of Columbia desire to go on
record as being strenuously opposed to the
conspicuous beer and whisky advertise
ments which are to be seen in SO many
public places in our city. Especially do we
regard the electric beer signs on top of the
buildings opposite the Land Office and at
Pennsylvania avenue and 18th street as
disgrace to the national capital, and we
earnestly request the District Commission
ers to take such action as will result in the
removal of these offensive signs; that the
union officers be and they are hereby In
structed to present this request to the Dis
trict Commissioners; that We do hereby
! commend the recent action OF Police Judge
Ivory G. kimball In filming on-keepers
for violation of the law by permitting their
wives to sell liquor over the bars of their
saloons; that copies of this resolution be
forwarded to Judge kimball and to the
press; that We do hereby commend the eff
forts of Maj Richard Sylvester, superin-
tendent of police, to rid the city of bill
board advertising tending more or less
directly to immortality; that we do hereby
commend the efforts of the Public Educa-
ton Association and the District CommiS-
sioners to suppress unlawful employment
agencies and to prevent further violations
of the act of Congress of June 10, 1905.
The resolutions also reclted .tllat IL IS the
sentiment of this union that the proposed
public athletic park should be closed on
Sundays, and that we consider the sale OF
the so-called booze drops or candy con-
tanning liquor to school children, as most
dangerous accessory to the liquor traffic In
its work of debauching the youth OF the
community. We urge as matter of ex-
IRENE and immediate Importance that
necessary steps be taken, either by the en-
forcement of the pure food law as soon as
1t goes into effect or by the enactment of
new legislation If necessary, to prohibit
absolutely the sale of candies containing
liquor in the District of Columbia.
