pie, They were sometimes represent
ed, he said, as being so occupied with
their own salntllness that they had
no thought for other people at all
and their aim was held to be self
glorihcation, This view he emphat-
ically declared was Incorrect The
idea Of the members is not at all self
praise or santliness, but one which
was essentially that of service for
other people.
He compared the spirit towards the
total abstalners with that of Protest
ants towards the Roman Catholic
church about twenty-five years ago
You know what that spirit was" no
said. and what It still Is. though now
there is growing spirit OF broad
mindedness and the true conception
Of the Roman Catholic church is be-
Ing received and appreciated. This
broadening spirit, he said, is due to
the ntercommunieation of the
churches and the fact that the Ro-
man Catholic church members are
showing what their religion Is and
not telling 1t In words, The same is
necessary, he said of the total alb
stainers doctrine. They must show
what 1t means act 1t and not merely
define 1t to have 1t fully understood
and appreciated.
One of the greatest stumbling blocks
to the work of the union he said was
the moderate drlnker. the man who
never got drunk and who felt safe on
that account 1t Is not the saloon but
the moderate drinker who Is the great
est enemy of the total abstinence
cause. He is we'll satisfied. Yet the
drunkard of today was the moderate
drinker of yesterday and while 1t could
not be correctly said that every mod
crate drinker OF today would be a
drunkard later in his life still every
drinker was in the danger zone. In-
difference to the cause he said was an.
other great harm and this again Gomez
largely from the temperate drinkers, he
declared was not the fact that they
felt secure and safe In their temper.

sacrifice II they gave up drink en-

Remarks by Father Conaty.

Father Conaty Of Worcester fellow
ed. His idea was that the best meth
cd of work for the organization was
to begin In childhood and train the
children In temperance and total alb
stinence. He spoke Of the movement
which is taking great sway in this
country Of having children when they
are confirmed take the pledge not 10
touch liquor at all until they are twen-
ty-one. This resulted In getting them
past the period OF temptation and he
said that great many Of the children
continued their habit OF abstinence
right through life and great deal OF
good done In that way. Moreover he
expressed the idea that the training
Of the chilrren was In many ways more
fruitful than trying to reason With
grownups. He spoke OF this work as
the modern Crusade OF the Children"
which would be much more successful
than that of the middle ages because
this was not founded ne that one was
on sentiment but on common sense.

the laborers from the factories. All
were bent on getting home to warm
supper as quickly as possible. But it
was wait or walk. Some preferred
chances with DIR. Hurty's pneumonia,

Street Cars Ran Amuck
on the Streets Last NIGHT

Richmond street car lines have such
an accommodating way OF making
amends. IL their car be delayed or
running behind it's schedule, Mr.. Mo-
torman finds il to his convenience to
LAY out" on the West Fifth street end
of the line. What cares he about the
waiting passengers in the rain. his car
is behind time and the easiest way to
catch up is by laying over for one trip
and then going in on time. Such GUS
tom has become so prominent that the
West Side folks who depend upon the
Richmond Avenue line do not seem to
mind it much any more. Why, they
actually enjoy walking through the
rain or snow and In summer time it is
a real treat TO be away from the dirt
infested contraptions, such as have
been run on this line.
Street Car Ran Amuck.
