The Washington herald., 1910-03-14

Rev. William Darby at GuntOn.
From a dozen or more puipits yester-
day clergymen preached against the evils
OF strong drink. It was a general call Of
the Capital City Anti-Saloon League.
They expressed a confidence in making
Washington dry city" and incidentally
hurled threats and entreaties in the d.
rection of Congress.
All were in support Of the Gallinger
regulation measure.
Glenn Makes Talk.
Former Gov r 3. Glenn, of North
Carolina, who has talked temperance
from coast to coast since his term OF
office expired. made picturesque address
to more than 1000 men at Calvary Bap-
list Church. He was introduced by Ma
tional Superintendent P. A. Baker. Of the
Anti-Saioon League.
Most of his address was an arraigEment
OF liquor manufacturers and saloon men.
In a burst OF oratory he blamed most OF
human ills on liquor and those who dis
pense Ii.
l'Why are we here?" he said. why
have so many of you left your comfort
able homes on this beautiful day to sit
in church? Why have I come? There
must be some great attraction. I'll tell
you what 1t is; It Is the awakening of
every sane man to night. It has swept
the nation, and now Il centers at the
nations Capital
Determined 60 Win.
IF this thing is good. this liquor that
is sold SO freely, why let US go to Con
gress and ask that the taxes be taken
OF 1t. But If it Is bad-if It destroys
homes let US carry our night against II
into the Capitol and into the legislatures
of every State. We must and viii win.
Lend your personal support to this
bill of Senator Gallinger's. It Is not
a prohibition act, but demands that be-
fore a saloon is started in your beautiful
Capital the signature and consent Of res
idents of the immediate neighb0rhOod
must be obtained.
Must Step Down.
Beautiful Washington. that IS more
SCARED and ma.red than any other city
of its size in the country If a Senator
or member OF Congress. refuses 10 vote
for such a bill, he should be made to
step down and out and give placs TO a
better man.
It challenge the members from North
Carolina 70 vote against t. II they dc
the people will refuse 10 send them back
here. and they will not dare. hope some
OF these legislators are here, because this
talk may help them"
When the mass meeting had beer
! aroused TO the proper pitch Of euthusi.
assn. Supt. Baker made an impassionec
appeal for every man in the audience
10 write a personal letter 10 Senator Gal
linger Offering him their moral and ac
tive support.
He asserted that il had cost hundred,
of dollars TO bring such an audience to-
gether, and subscription cards were passed
among the pews, each with a tiny pencil
attached. pledging the signer to a month.
~ contribution TO the Anu-Saloon League
to further the prohibition cause here
Have Cards Circulated.
He mentioned that such pledge, car
rying directions for mailing, is contrary
to a recent ruling Of the Post-ofice De
partment. but declared he had obtained
permission 70 have the cards circulated
in every pulpit in Washington,
Supt Baker admitted that every prom
inent speaker in the East who could bt
enlisted had been imported to Washing
ton for yesterdays onslaught.
As a matter Of fact there were more
Anti-Saloon League speakers here thar
vacant pulpits. and in at least one church
conflict arose as to who should deliver
the address. Editor f. H. Cherrington
| of the League publication, and Rev
/ William Darby, or New York. a we'll
known anti-liquor campaigner. were botl
brought here 10 speak at Guuton-Templ.
