SHOULD CLOSE THE SALOONS
AnvTcE GIVEN BY REV. WAL
TER ELLIOTT.
Message to Lodge of Good Templars.
Program of Exercises at
Open Meeting.

.As to closing up saloons. am emphat-
icauv in favor of doing SO. Would TO
God that not one of them was open or
could be opened in Washington. They
ara the curse of any community. and OF
mono more than a city like ours, made
nm of families dependent on moderate
salaries for subsistence.
poverty and shame follow the use of
liquor. Saloons live and thrive on the
hearts blood of the people. They are
the direst enemy known to family, peace
and welfare. No place can be anything
but bad which draws down upon it the
malediction of anxious mothers and
fathers"
The foregoing was a part of a message
from Rev. Walter Elliott of the Apostolic
Mission House BrOokland. which was
read before Frances IL. Willard Lodge,
d! O. G. T. at an open meeting held in
Medford Hall, Sth and l streets north
west
THE saloons he said. ARE no less an
enemy to religion. The convivial habits
which they foster. WHICH. indeed, form
their chief source of revenue. are wholly
incompatible with Gods rights. No man
is true to God who fattens on his neigh
bor'S weaknesses
II have no patience with the saying
about this or that saloon: 1T is a decent
place Is there place in Washington
so decent that any mother OF family
would say OF it, 1t is a safe place for
my boy to spend his leisure?' Is there d
single minister of religion here who will
say that any saloon in the city is a fit
place for his parishioners to spend Satur-
day evening or Sunday morning? Shut
them up every one of them. May God
bless so good a work
The address was read by the chairman
Of the good of the order exercises, +. J.

History Of the Lodge.

History OF the Lodge.
In opening the proceedings Mr.. Mac
Manus gave a history of the institution
of the lodge, and paid high tribute to
the officers.
II venture to say he declared. 1.-The
quality and abilities of the membership
of the Frances E. Willard Lodge is second
to none in the District. We have a chief
templar whose temperance work in the
northeast for the past five years has been
productive of magnificent success Mr..
Philip II. Weber is the personification of
zeal. integrity and unassuming endeavor."
The speaker also complimented Miss
Mclean. vice templar; Mr.. McNulty, past
chief templar; David F. Dee, the chap
lain: James A. Dee, financial secretary;
Edward Archambault. the treasurer;
Mrs. Emily Weber, superintendent of
Juvenile work. and then referred to the
many prominent men and women whose
names appear in the charter list. Mr..
MacManus explained the principles of the
order and in conclusion said: I'VE aim
for the establishment Of kingdom OF
happiness at every fireside, over which
the mother and the wife can reign in
queenly pride. Ours is a great duty and
responsibility"
Mr.. David NJ. Maclean was called on
for song and. accompanied by Mrs.
Maclean on the piano, sang The Tor
pedO and the Whale with "A Bird In
Hand as encore. Mr.. Maclean con-
trbuted Scotch selections. which were
greatly appreciated.
The chairman next called on the inter-
national delegate. Mr.. Albert f. Shoe
maker who is also chief templar o. Sill
yer Star Lodge in Tenleytown. and secre-
tary of the District of Columbia Anti
Saloon League. Mr. Shoemake- ex-
planned what the Good Templar order has
done in the past. and gave a general
review of the present conditions in the
temperance movement. He made a strong
appeal to those present who We're not
| members to become affiliated with the
order and to cooperate with the anti
saloon forces in the warfare against the
drink evil.
After Mr.. Shoemaker took his seat,
Master Joseph A. McNulty was called to
the platform and gave recitation. which
was vigorously applauded. the number
being encOred three times. The recita-
| ton described the efficacy of temper
| ance orders.

1000 AT TAFT FEAST
SAYS LAWBREAKERs, HIGH OR
Low, SHOULD SUFFER:

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. February IL
Last night Secretary Taft was the guest
of the Association of Young Republicans
Of Missouri at a mammoth banquet held
in Convention Hall. Twelve hundred
plates were laid, and most of the promi-
nent republicans of Missouri. as we'll as
many from Kansas, Oklahoma and Ne
braska. were present.
Eulogizing Lincoln. Secretary Taft said
he was a party man.. las all men must
be who expect to leave their individual
impress upon the political character of
the nation He said a party cannot be
useful unless those who are members of
it yield their views on some issues and

Though party has it's PLATFORM -
said he, land on the faith of it has been
elected to power. many issues may I'M
exrectedly arise in the course Of an adj
ministration not controlled by the party S
declared principles. The disposition of
such issues must depend on the ability
and courage of the party leaders. A
party may divide on a new issue until
by a process of education the sounder
view prevails and that party becomes
united again in the enforcement of the
new principle. AS party shows itself
homogeneous, able to grasp the truth
with respect to new issues. able to dis
card unimportant differences of opinion.

maintenance of government and highly
charged with the responsibility of its

Secretary Taft enumerated the various
policies of the party in the past. and said
that only twice Tin all that remarkable
history of fOrty-eight years have We lost
the confidence of the people of the United
States to the point of their turning over
the government to a democratic executive.

DETAIL he continued. 1.-The influence of
the republican party has been little felt
south of Mason and Dixon's line. 1t is
true that in Maryland. West Virginia,
Kentucky. Missouri, the republican party
has been often in the majority. but in
the other southern states a contest has
seemed hopeless. The time has come.
i'm my judgment. when it is the duty of
our party to make an earnest effort to
win to our support many southerners
who think with us on every living national
issue and have only been kept from our
ranks by the ghost of the past
Secretary Taft referred to abuses that

that is not | cent more than Its just pro-
portion of taxes. based upon the value or
it's real estate holdings. and 1t certainly
gives Congress no right to take away
from the people of the District that when
is SO dear to all Americans IT Is sur
prising that any senator should suggest
such a thing.
Congress Responsible.
'If Congress had not taken the control
of the schools out of the hands of the
Commissioners the present trouble would
not have occurred. Now, because Con-
Efess has made mistake for which the
city has suffer ed. does it propose to cor
rect it by going further in the same di-
rection? When the citizens are as united
on any subject relating to their welfare
as they are on this Congress should give
a very good reason for disregarding their
wishes.

in the ability, experience and integrity of
the present superintendent and all the
supervising principals. who by their train
ing have become a valuable essential in
the conduct of the school system. re-
specially recommends that the present
law be given a farther trial. subject to
such changes may from time to time
develop for it's betterment.'
Crosstown Railway.
The committee on legislation. through
it's chairman. reported that it had had a
hearing before the District House COM
mittee on the crosstown electric railway
proposition, and that there is good pros
pect of the realization of the project. 1t
was decided to forward map of the
northeast section of the city showing the
proposed route and giving sufficient rea-
sons for the building of the road to every
member of the Citizens Association whose
territory lay adjacent to the territory of
the Northeast Association inviting con-
certed and unanimous action.
The proposed route is as follows: From
18th street northwest along Florida ave-
nue. to Sth street northeast. thence along
Sth street to connect with Pennsylvania
avenue: also from Sth street along F
street to the Union station. thence along
Massachusetts avenue and either North
Capitol street or New Jersey avenue to
connect with the extension along Florida
avenue.
The committee announced that it had
no report ready upon the reduction of
gas rates. but would submit one In the
near future.
Other routine business included resolu-
tons relative to equpping local cabs with
distance meters to prevent overcharging,
the provision for seven additional engine
houses and one truck house in the north
east section and a request to have the
roller skate nuisance stopped at 9Th and
f streets The resolutions were intro
duced respectively. by Messrs. James
Wood A. +. II. Hostein and George r.
Bowie They were referred to the proper
committees for further action.
resolution introduced by Secretary
Sowerbutts was adopted thanking Chair
man Smith of the House committee and
| his colleagues for the courteous treatment
accorded members of the association dur
| ing the recent street railway hearing.

In Cleveland. Ohio. in 1892, they tried
IA director of education, who was elected
by popular vote. but after about ten years
they returned to the old system, which
we are told has become obsolete. and now
have a school board to control their
schools.
This bill (the Dolliver measure) pro-
vides for what is not only an innovation
here. but an almost untried experiment in
the. history of education in this country.
The only trial it has had so far is pro-
nounced a failure.
I'm discussing the Dolliver bill the state
ment has been made by both Mr.. Burkett
and Mr. Carter that the schools of the
District Of Columbia require an annual
appropriation from Congress of $4,000. 900,
which statement is not borne out by the
facts.
School Appropriations.
THE total appropriation for the schools,
including money for new buildings, for
the past four years are as follows: For
the year ending June so. 1902 81. 557 ,327 !:
for the year ending June 30. 1906,
$174 1874: for the year ending June 30,
