Success OF the Revival MEETINGS.

Success of the Revival Meetings.
Popular subjects forcibly expounded by
popular revivalist have made success
of the union meetings which are now in
progress in Mount Holly under the d.
rection of DR.. Francis E. Smiley. While
the time limit for these meetings has not
yet expired, it is probable demand may
be made for their continuance, so great
has the interest become
DR.. Smiley strikes from the shoulder
without fear or favor, and even those who
do not care to fully agree with him, adj
NIT the sincerity of his purpose. In the
of his various themes there
seems to be magnetic influence sur
his personality, and this has
brought him large crowds nightly. 1t is
admitted that practical application of
his utterances would prove beneficial in
many phases of life
The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1908-01-21

A striking feature in the conduct of
these meetings is the fact that In address
ing his hearers DR.. Smiley does not at
tempt to assume the gift of an orator. He
is plain, earnest talker, and uses no de-
ception to engross the attention of his au-
dience. In penetrating language he tells
how to rear children, how to avoid sin
and how to save the soul. During his
brief stay in Mount Holly this revivalist
has spoken from the pulpit to people who
have not attended church In long time.
That DR.. Smiley understands how to
conduct revival meetings is a matter of
no uncertainty. 1t is business in which
he has been engaged for years. His re-
sources in this line of work seem to be in
exhaustible His sincerity is most i'm
pressive, and the objects which he desires
his hearers to attain are laudable. He
appears like an open book, and his entire
frankness and genial disposition have won
him many friends here.
While Dr. Smiley has devoted himself
exclusively to evangelistic work both in
England and America for many years. yet
he is practically no stranger in this Sec
ton, as he is graduate of the University
of Pennsylvania and Princeton Theologi-
cal Seminary. Religious tracts which
have attained large circulation emanated
from his pen. He is also the author of
several religious books.
With DR.. Smiley is associated w. P.
Hanson, of Chicago, who has in charge
the musical feature of the meetings, being
leader of mixed choir Of voices and
rendering many solos. In this manner
DR.. Smiley is being ably assisted in his
good work.
These evangelists will hold mems
meeting in the Presbyterian Church next
Sunday afternoon at $50 o'clock. Boys
under IL years of age will not be admitted.

the attention and instruction that they
should receive. The accepted system for
rural schools is to have supervising
principal who can direct the work until
the pupils have become far enough ad-
vanced for the grammar grades, and then
transportation to the nearest grammar
school should be adopted. The children
from the country ought not to be denied
the opportunities that those of the most
favored communities have in the graded
institutions. If one district cannot afford
a supervising principal two or more should
combine, thereby dividing the expense
and getting results more desirable and
beneficial than without an executive head
for outlying districts. Such supervising
principal would be expected to select the
teachers in bis districts, as this is work
in which the average country Boards OF
Education are not trained. AT this time
Burlington county has only eleven super
vising principals and there is plenty of
room for more Rural schools must have
experienced teachers and they must be
paid more that the present salaries in
many cases. Salaries are going up and
there is no probability that they will stop
moving higher very soon. All the money
that can be obtained is needed In educa,
tional work, and in this connection the
speaker stated that he believes Governor
Stokes made a mistake in his recent
recommendation that the state school taz
be diminished. He believes that now il
not the proper time to cut off funds fol
school purposes, as the improvement il
the various branches of the states educa
tional department must continue. Ger

tors cannot accomplish their purpos'
without money.

TAKES A QUEER VIEW.
Writer Who Discovered That Prohibf-
ton Is Failure in Kansas.

The March number of Merits Mag
azine, published in Moline, ILL.,. was
received in this city yesterday The
leading article in this issue is enti-
tied: Prohibition a Failure in Kan
sas and Oklahoma" The article then
goes on to tell of the impressions
formed by Editor Mertz while on a
tour of this state the first part of the
month. He visited Topeka, and his
opinions of this city under prohibition
law are rather startling in their origi-
nality. He says:
There are 40 drug stores which sell
$4,000 bottles of beer and whisky each
month there are eight or ten clubs
that are giving away and selling al
coholic liquor to their members; there
are over 20 joints selling liquor under
assumed names to people who cannot
afford the luxury of belonging to
club or buying it from the drug stores
in original packages. The liquor
dealers outside of the state of Kansas
are doing a large mail order business,
and many of the people OF Topeka are
receiving their liquors from Kansas
City, Mo, and from other points. There
is no doubt but that the quality of IL
quors, as well as the amount consumed
at the capital is poorer and greater
than before. Under state local option
there is no doubt that the evils of the
liquor traffic would be largely abated
The state of Kansas has suffered NOR
ally, commercially and industrlally by
the enactment of the prohib1tory law.
The best indication that Topeka is
morally declining is in a report that
is furnished to A. H. Mertz by the
chief of police, showing 202 arrests for
drunkenness during six months under
the open joint system and 22S arrests
for a similar offense during the HrsI
six months following the closihS VI
the joints
When Mertz was here he was asked
if he was not in the employ OF the
brewers and liquor dealers, but he re-
fused to state whether this was lhe
case or not. His statements about To
peka are greatly exaggerated, ana IN
spite of his figures, do not pretend TO
give an idea of the true state OF al
fairs here The joints are closed IN
this city and also the clubs started
for the sole purpose of selling 1ntox1-
cants. 1t is likely that the drug stores
are still selling a considerable quantity
of booze and the quality may be poorer
than before but the quantity IS not
as great by any means. The state
ments about this state and city SUI
fering commercially from the effects
of the prohibition law are the opposite
of the truth. Topeka was never IN
such fine shape commercially as at the
present tinre The volume OF business
here is greater than ever before anu
the demand for real estate ana rented
houses and the prices of the same are
higher. The bank deposits at TINS tlme
in topeka and most of the other cities
fore in the past 20 years Topeka as
regards commercial prosperity, law
and order and domestic happiness VIII
shine in comparison with any oluet
civ this size in the United States
where exists licensed saloons.
