"I am lust having a fine time. Some
neonle would call it work, but call
il a continuous reception" said Hon.
Eugene w. Chain, nominee for presi-
dent of the United States on the FRO
hibition ticket, yesterday AFTERNOON a.
Simpson auditorium
1t had been well advertised tnat tnS
nominee of the Prohibitionists would
speak at the auditorium. ana there
was q. large assemblage to hear him. .
NJ. w. Atwood was the chairman or
the afternoon. After the singing OF
Coronation" an invocation by Rev.
c. E. Nash. and a vocal duet by Frot:
Dobbins and w1re, Hon. Jonn SuDae aS'
was introduced and made q snort au-
dress In praise of the speaker OF the
afternoon, whom he introduced.
Mr. Chain said In the course of his
address: 1--WE are great people be-
cause of our constitutional rights, Dut
while we have constitution OF the
United States for general guidance
the leading features among our nsu-
tutions are the churches and schools.
God planted In the United States the
wealth of the world. But only small
portion of it has been developed. And
WHY did God plant this wealth? He
has kept it for us for the past 5000
years, and the time Is at hand Tor US
to make great progress In Christian
am glad that / was born at the time
when the future was to bring me to
this day of active work in the prohibt-
ton cause.
what are we going to do with the
LIQUOR traf1c? (''Put 1t outl" was the
cry of the audience.) If all will vote
according to the dictates of their own
consciences it will be put out of ex-
istence.
at is a general fight--it is not merely
to have the saloons closed in California
and to drive them elsewhere, but to
make a universal safeguard against
the ravages of the liquor traffic every
where.
'Tf the liquor traffic were to be aban-
doned there would be such a revival
Of religion In the churches as would
be surprising. The church stands for
good and the saloon for bad. Even the
saloon and brewery men would praise
God If the whole liquor traffic were all
wiped out of existence.
I'VE would have no occasion for wor-
ry regarding our foeign element If 1t
were not for the liquor traffic In the
United States. OF course, there is
much talk about the mixture of ma
tionalities, but we have this much to
consider, that President Roosevelt has

make up. which lends strenuous fea-
ture to the whole affair.
1.-THE Christian religion has shown
itself to be a leading feature in up
holding the prosperity of the nations.
I believe that the Jews in time will
recognize the merits Of Jesus Christ
as their Savior"
In the morning, at Pasadena, before
congregation which packed the First
Methodist church, Mr.. Chain delivered
sermon on 1.-THE Church and the
School,"
constitutions are an important ele-
ment in the making of a state" he
said. land legislation is essential to
carry on the government, but, in the
last analysis, these are but superficial
factors.
1.-THE permanency of any govern
ment must depend, not upon these. but
upon the people back Of them. As the
children are nodded the people will
vote and govern themselves. And the
two great forces which perpetuate our
government, and all good government,
are the church and the school.
1.-THE trained mind and the trained
consclence-these are the two factors
which make for human progress. 1t is
the glory Of our government and civili-
zation that they produce these two fac
tors in many forms; but do not hest.
tate to say that the future will show a
surprising advance in this very iine.''
