LABOR'S RELATION TO
SALOONS DISCUSSED
A. F. OF [. LEADERS AT %
RONTO MAKE ADDRESSES
Speakers Claim Trade Unionists Have
Done Much Toward Furtherance
of Temperance Among Their
Fellow Members

TORONTO, Nov. 1.-THE question
of labor and the saloon was discussed
this afternoon by labor leaders at a
big mass meeting at Massey hall. one
of the speakers said:
This sometimes has been misunder-
stood by those who did not know our
institutions as an indication that there
was something hostile on the part OF
our government toward or some lack
of sympathy with the church of God.
This is as far as possible from the
truth, and 1 have always sought, in
assisting every such church on inter
esting occasions like this, to testify by
my presence and by words of con-
graduation that there is nothing upon
which the country and the people of
the United States so depend for prog
ress and advancement of their ideals
as the influence and power of all the
churches in the community"
Rev. Charles Stelzle, a fraternal
delegate to the convention of the
American Federation of Labor from
the Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America, presided and made
the principal address. Other speakers
included Vice President John Mitchell
and Treasurer John b. Lennon of the
American Federation of Labor and
President Thomas L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers of America.
Labor Promotes Temperance
Mr.. Mitchell declared that organized
labor in its fight for better conditions
for the wage Garner is doing more to
promote temperance than is any other
organization. He denied shorter hours
of labor and increased wages resulted
in added profits to the saloon.
Mr.. Lennon said the liquor business
lowered the efficiency of the working
men and prophesied the time would
come when labor will be arrayed
against the saloon.
The United Mine Workers. Mr.. Lewis
said, have prohibited their members
from selling intoxicants even at picnics
Mr., Stelzle declared the saloon and
the labor hail must be divorced.
I'm too many cities" he said, trade
unionists are compelled to pass through
the saloon to get to their meeting
places. and woe betide the man who
does not stop to take a drink. Many
worl1ingmen of America are helplessly
In the pale of these hall owners"

the week are so at variance with the prn-
cipIes of the dpcalogue enforced in the
gospels from the pulDits that they care
nothing for the church. There Is stealing
in business today that is called 'hnancler,
ing and there is lying that is softened
into 'shrewdness,' and these warp the ma
lures of men and destroy their love for the
true and the good.
Sabbath a Holy Day
1.-THE dissipation of the wine glass,
the impure play, the poisonous book,
the gaming table or even the con-
tinuous round of social pleasures which
with proper limitations ought to be
made helpful, these are forces which
control large numbers of people, who.
as they come under the spell of these
evils, are ready to neglect and some q
times denounce the church. The Sun
day is not a holiday, and they who are,
by elaborate entertaining in their
homes or by out-of-dOOT recreatiOnS
Transforming the Sabbath into day
of social euga gements are committing
a sin against Almighty God and
against society which viii be most
certainly punished both in this life and
that which is to come. God is very
Jealous of the Sabbath. his day. and
visits severe penalties on those who
do not remember the Sabbath day to
Keep ii holy.
THE most inclusive reason why more
people do not 90 to church is because
they don't want to. People seek t.
give many other reasons, but deep in
their own consciousness they know it
is because evil has no affinity for the
good-the combat between Satan and
Christ. between David and Goliath,
still continues"

Romance

If you find the characters in a his
torical romance doing curious things
pray consider how necessary, in the
eXigencies of art, that may be. For
instance, these characters in their orig
inals are not seldom persons so wishful
to keep their purposes to themselves
as to render obscure, in real life, much
that need be plain as a pikestaff in the
story. Where a public finds itself un-
able to read and chew gum and think
all at once few choice spirits will cut
out the gum, but the majority of man
kind will prefer to revolt at whatso-
ever exacts of them any consecutive
thinking.
Therefore it is that we have Miltiades
telling the chambermaid at his hOte
precisely how he intends to whip the
Persians at Marathon. and Scpio un-
folding his plans for the destruction OF
Carthage to the travelling man in the
berth across the aisle,-Puck.

WEIGHS AND DECIDES
CIVILIZATION WANTING
Reynold E. Blight, Minister of Los An
aeles Fellowship, Finds Pic
ture Dark, but Takes Hope
from Glance Into Past

Are We a Civilized Nation?" was
| the question discussed by Reynold
| E. Blight, minister of the Los Angeles,
/ Fellowship, at Blanchard hall yester-
day morning. Gentlemen he said,
the evidence seems to be against lis. !"
The recent elections in San Fran
CISCO New York, Cleveland and Phila-
delphia were used an an indication of
political conditions. Articles in current
magazines were quoted, and reference
made to lynching bees, the drink bil',
the social evil, our slums, appalling in
crease of divorce and our national
mania for militarism, to show the evils
we tolerate.
"Civlization does not consist in
magnificent buildings, worldwide COM
merce and splendid institutions" de-
clared the speaker. There are three
tests of the state of civilization-the
condition of labor, the condition of wo-
man and the treatment of the criminal.
Judged by these three tests, our pres
ent civilization is found woefully want
ing.
Labor is held as the legitimate ex-
ploitation of capital. As to woman,
legally. politically, industrially and
socially, she is Disseminated against.
We treat our criminals as Inonstrosi-
ties, half man and half devil, who must
be beaten, sweated, Gagged and crushed.
Picture Is Dark
"The picture is dark, but when we
compare conditions today with the
past 1t suddenly glows with light. We
have gone far along the path of
progress. And there are a multitude
of agencies at work now that are seek
ing the Improvement and advance
ment of man. Against graft ten thou
sand disinterested men are lighting,
and elections similar to our own last
Wednesday are becoming more COM
mon. Many movements, such as Book
er T. Washington's Tuskegee schools,
Mohawk conferences. Jane Adams
social centers, Salvation army, etc, are
seeking the social betterment of the
masses and of society generally. Things
are possible today that were mere
dreams a decade ago. The people are
being educated rapidly on moral cues
tiOns. We are not fully civilized as
yet, but we are on the way.
THE institutions, laws, customs,
habits, tastes and aspirations of an age
are but symbols Of the root idea, the
dominating impulse, the cherished ideal
of that age. Just as righteousness
was the impulse and ideal of Hebrew
civilization, and a passion for truth
was the guiding principle of the Re-
naissance, so humanitarianism is the
ideal and impulse of our age. Humani-
tarianism is the leaven that is working
amid the turmoil and wretchedness of
present conditions. In time it will be-
come the dominating factor the ideal
shall be realized and the grossness, the
absurdity, the viciousness and injustice
shall be eradicated. Truth, righteous .
ness, justice, love shall prevail in the
lives and social relations of men. This
is the ideal toward which we move.
Happy the man who so lives that his
life is a worthy contribution to the
evolution of the race"

Assassin Lies in Wait

Here the assassin waited until he
heard Carlson approach Then he
stepped out, held d short conversation
with him, probably demanding that
Carlson carry out some particular
pledge When the request was refused,
the first two shots were fired. Then
leaning over Carlson's body he put the
last two shots in the PROSTATE body, in
a fit of insane anger and as a last mark
OF vengeance.
The assassin did not run fast from
the scene of the shooting, according to
several persons Kupfer says this, and
his statement is borne out by that of
Miss Barbara Beacher, 925 West Twen-

first to reach the dying man. She says
she saw the men who did the shooting
