In Toxic there are several independ.

is a mooted question among Amer

leads me to conclude that they make

their money is being raised, than they
do here. They are usually temporary,

ITS POSITION PLAIN.
The Catholic Church Vigorously Fight
ina the Saloon.

The saloon has become the germ
center of lawlessness.
While it debauches some of the peo-
pie with drunkenness and takes from
them that knowledge necessary for an
intelligent ballot, it snaps its fingers
at the law made for it's restriction. 1t
has become the nscrupulous and con-
scienceless tyrant Of American poll
tics.
There are three great causes of
drunkenness, in this country to-day.
The saloon is one Of them, and per-
haps the greatest, and the so-called
moderate drinker is another.
The Catholic church is putting up a
strenuous fight against the drink evil,
by using all the resources in her pow
er to antagonize the saloon and at the
same time put in its place the substi-
tutes for the saloon.-Vcry Rev. Alex
ander P. Doyle, Of the Catholic univcr-
sity of Washington.

uf the Christian propaganda. 1t is a
false impression, sometimes given by
OverzealOus missionaries that this
city is being stirred and moved by
Christianity; equally false is the
sweeping declaration by visitors that
there are no signs OF missionary work
to be seen in TOXIC.
AS matter of fact, there are al
most as many forms of religious work
to be found in Toxic as in Philadc-
phia or in Chicago. Walk along the
streets on a clear Sunday, and you
will find Japanese preachers talking
to interested crowds, just as on Bos-
ton Common. A man wearing the con-
venhonal Salvation Army cap tai
though inscribed in Japanese charac-
ters), but otherwise dressed in ma
tive garb, lifts his cap as You ap-
proach, hows politely. and in flowery
language, invites you to buy the copy
of the Japanese War Cry" which he
extends to you.
Setting the Japanese to Singing.
AS you pass native houses you oc-
casionaIly hear childish voices swell
ing in the familiar strains of Moody
and Sankey hymns. and you know that
one of the numerous Sunday schools
in Toxic is in session. Going to and
from these are met boys and girls car
rying the thick, pudgy red hymn
books, and you recall that within two
years 100000 copies of this book have
been sold, although there are only
about $4,000 Protestant Christians in
the empire. Mission workers say that
the Japanese did not know how to
sing at all, except few Chinese songs
of limited register to accompany the
samisen and the koto, and now some
of the mission school graduates per-
form the most difficult of instrumental
and vocal music, and one is sure ia
hear brass bands executing the airs
that were popular in America a few
years ago. Not everybody who is
heard whistling or singing Chris
tian tune is necessarily a Christian
