OCEAN GROVE.
Especial to the Evening start

OCEAN GROVE, July 24-Worldly
pleasure has received another rebuff at
the hands of staid old Ocean Grove.
Satan In the form of moving pictures
has received q knockout blow at the
hands of DIR. A. e. Ballard head of the
Camp Meeting Association.
DR.. Ballard entered the Auditorium
yesterday In a suspicious frame of
mind because the place was full and
all the lights urned down. That was
pretty bad, but gracious! There on the
screen, in plain view, were a lot of
people, dressed In the most sinful
height of fashion, sitting around in
tally-hos and autos looking at a horse
race.
DR.. Ballard had a short ak with the
picture man, who switched on the
Asbury Park baby parade and later a
film showing how potatoes grow in
Vermont.
More negroes tina have been seen
in Ocean Grove for n long time were
here last night for Booker T. Washing
toms lecture in the Auditorium. Those
of dusky hue, however, were far out
numbered by their lighter-colored
brethren and the resort gave Mr..
Washington a frst-class reception. He
spoke altogether on race questions ne
deplored many cases of S. hats on five
cent heads, and seemed anxious to get
the negroes out to farming districts,
and have them acquire small patches
Of land.
Notwithstanding that the great con-
cert at which Schumann-Heink ap>
peared has been given this week .@there
will be another in the Auditorium to-
morrow night, when Tai Essen Morgan
will give the cantata THE Rose Mai
den." The chorus work is to be done
by some 800 singers. .
Word went out today that an audi
ence dressed entirely in white would
be expected at the Auditorium on Sun
day, known as Children's Sunday.
Among the visitors at the Summer
field are Mr. and Mrs. John N. Royce,
Miss w. e. Strauss and F. L.. Hughes,
Of Orange.

of honest citizenship, and cannot full
! fill its mission without boys.
The nation needs boys.--Its very

boys, true boys, honest boys, brave
boys, strong boys, manly boys, clean
boys, and pure.
The saloon wants boys. All boys,
any boys. 1t cannot exist without
boys.
It will die without boys to feast its
ravenous appetite, for it lives on the
souls OF boys. 1t is the most persis-
tent, relentless seeker after boys
which exists today. 1t never ceases
its deadly chase. 1t is the most insi-
dious and ruthless foe known to hu-
manity, and the interest of the boys
constitute the object Of its most bit

1t must have boys. Boys it is bound
to have.
Boys it has planned to have.
Whose boys? YOURS.
The point is right here. If the sa-

an awful sacrifice of the home de-
Tenders, for the express purpose Of
perpetuating the bIghting, wither-

If the boys are to live, then the sa-
looms must die.
The death of the saloon is the safe !

Nations or saloons?
Oh, what q terrible destruction to

The life Of the saloon means the
