TO FIGHT SALOONS WITH PhNhEh
Christian Endeavorers IN Chicago
have adopted striking method of
fighting the saloon evil in that city
There Is 10 be an election on April 20
determine whether local option Is 20 De-
the rule of the future iu the city. and tho
Christian Endeavorers have adopted
resolution asking Christians every
where To- stop work 40 9 O'Clock every
morning until the election 81 held, and
offer prayer for victory over the CHI
cago saloons. II r. supposed that in
compliance with this request 500o0.ooo
prayers will be offered every morning.
I'm All parts Of the world. for the deliv-
GRANGE OF Chicago from the control eN-
ercised by the liquor sellers. In this
way the Christian Endcavorers have
made the eight "a test Of the efficacy or
prayer such as the world has. perhaps.
never seen before.
But. is il likely that the Christians
throughout the world viii respond %
this unique request? Many of the pas
tors depend on salooukeepets and liquor
dealers for the maintenance of churches.
Some liquor dealers are members Of
their congregations and liberal con-
tr.butors How can they consistently,
pray against their brethren in the busi-
ness IN Chicago2 In our own city.
Christians have helped placing a saloon
keeper I'm the city council II they
made IL "a matter OF prayer az an. they
prayed for his election and the defeat of
"a morally clean candidate. How can
they. consistently pray for different
result In Chicago. II prayer is pc
tition directed 20 God and sure 20 reach
the destination? Hero is a peculiar
situation.

by "a prominent Chicago citizen OF Cor
man extraction. MT Barlow A. Ulrich,
Is of interest. He ,s said to have made
a. Hfe-long study OF municipal govern
mental questions and has published
many articles on these subjects. Dur
ing the past hfty years he has been In
close touch with Chicago's social and
political development and has been
conspicuous as a correspondent on
many occasions ON current problems Of
civic Importance His research in this
direction qualities him to give an opin-
ION. In "a signed article sent out BY
