GEN. BOOTH AND AMERICANS

In honor of the eightieth annive--
sary of the birth of General Booth, of
the Salvation Army, number of cele-
brations were held in this and other
countries on Monday of this week.
The grand old man sent n message to
America aHd Americans and it was
read by Mics Eva Booth to an I'M
mcnse crowd in New York.
The message is typical of the man,
and of the organization of which he
is the leader. 1t was as follows:
:" London, April 10, 1909.
'To the American People:
'Oh. America, how vast is yonr op.
portunity for making last mark for
good ON - entire human race. En-
dowod with measureess material re-
ources, enjoying the unbounded con
fidence of your own people, favored
with the concentrated light of earth
and heaven, possessed of an influence
covering, like a shadow, all the world
beside; what a power you must he
destined % become,
"What will you do with this mighty
mage force? If you are permitted to
realize your ambition to lead thu
world, whittier will you lead it? To
utter abandonment of faith in tho
eternal and the neglect of every duty
flowing ont of it, to senseless wor-
tiesf No, l am sure you won't and
| blush at the very mention of such
things and denounce them with all
my soul.
"'Where else can you lead this poor,
blind, stumbling world of ours, but to
the mighty just, holy God, and obedi-
encc to his commands; the practice of
righteousness, purity, honor, kindness
and simplicity, to self sacrificing ser
vice to mankind2
America, l invite you to actual
realization of the Christian principles
you profess, and to practical imitation
of Jesus Christ, who came out of His
heaven to seek and to save.
"Come along, then, let us gird M
our loins, and go out Of our heaven
and put our arms around perishing
multitudes and bring them to Christ,
purity, peace in paradise
"'I invite you to make our cont
mon Christianity an ungainsayable
reality and thus wipe out the reproach
fast gathering over us that it is moth
ing more than an exploded tradition,
fashionable association or a Life
less ceremony. Then when the won
dering world asks: in what country
can 1 find the things described by the
letter of the Bible, and set forth in
the life of Jesus Christ, the answer
shall be America.

Rigid Test for Saloons

A new law went INFO effect in Ohio
he first of this month which if effect
i've in Colorado, would, we believe,
make it impossible for one of the sa.
looms in Glenwood to secure license to
continue business. Here is descrip.
tion of the new law, as given in the
press reports
The Dean Law became operative
Yesterday, April l., and if the saloons
keepers desire to continue business in
Ohio even if their respective territory
has not been voted dry, they will have
to be very careful from now until the
assessors make their rounds next year,
in order to be able to answer the fol
lowing questions, which the law pre-
scribes. They are as follows:
|. Are you, or, if firm, is any
member of your firm, an alien or al
-naturalized resident of the United
States?
2. Have you, or has any member of
your firm, or any officer of your cor
poration, ever been convicted of fel-
ony?
3. Have you, within the past twelve
months, knowingly permitted gambling
to be carried on in or upon or in con
nection with your place of business?
4. Have intoxicating liquors been
sold at your place of business to minors
except on the written order of theiI
parents, guardians, or family physi
clans or to persons who are intoxicated
or in the habit of getting intoxicated
within the post 10 months, within youi
knowledgef
s. Have you knowingly permittet
improper females to visit your place o.
business within the past IL months?
For refusal to answer any one Of
the questions, or for false answer
there is heavy fine imposed, and al
affirmative reply to any one is cauI'
for revoking the license.
