Liquor Disrnisses a Pastor

In January 1911, correspondent informs the
editor, W. E. Hull, the chief spokesman for the liquor
interests in Peoria and the who is reported be
at the head of the legislative campaign on behalf of
the brewers and dstillers of Illinois, had alterca
ton with Rev. DR.. Cadmus of the First Congrega-
tonal church of Peoria in the office of the Evening
Star of that city. Mr.. Hull had taken umbrage at
Mr. Cadmus's attempt to get Billy Sunday to come
to PEORIA and in this dispute Mr.. Hull wanted DR..
Cadmus to resign from his pulpit DR.. Cadmus said
he would do and would tell his congregation that
he did it at the request of the head of the liquor in
terest of Peoria. At this Mr.. Hull withdrew his
request
In February, 1911 DR.. Cadmus very active
in the movement in Peoria for the adoption of the
commission form of government. It is said to have
cost the liquor interests great deal of money fight
that movement They imported Nathan A. Cole, who
has been active the liquor side in local option
campaigns, to lead their fight against the adoption of
the commission form. The opponents of the
mission FORM that is to say, the liquor interests,
by very margin. Immediately afterwards,
DR.. Cadmus heard that the liquor people intended to
drive him out of the town. 1t was but short time
later our informant writes, when Mr. Hull told Mrs.
John E. Keen wife of the vice president of the Dime
Savings and Trust company, that she could get rid of
Cadmus if he wanted to- 1t is said that at this time
certain parties in Dr.. Cadm1ss church who sell great
quantities of supplies to the dstillers became very
hostile to Dr.. Cadmus and kept up the attack upon
him until he was forced to resign.
1t is said that Mr. Hull has long claimed that he
could control any church in PEORIA and by this act of
singing the pastor of the most prominent church
in the city he has served notice the churches and
the ministers of the great whisky city that they

Peoria Paper Says Liquor Did 1t.
The Peoria Herald Transcript of May in com
menting on DR.. Cadmuss resignation has the follow
ing to say:
The breach between the pastor and his flock is said to
have had its origin in the stand taken by DR. Cadmus against
the liquor interests in the city and his unceasing activities
against them. This l-feeng has existed for than
year and has been hndrance the work of the church
during that SO bitter had antagonsm become
late that the majority of the members had decided
better call pastor than to let
they have been doing
Of course an attempt will be made to refute these
statements. There cannot be shadow of doubt,
however, that it was the evil influence of the liquor
traffic that brought about the resignation Of this fear
less and able minister. Peoria is perhaps the
whisky influenced city in this land but we did not be-
eve that distillery influence could extend far
to drive from his pulpit minister of Jesus Christ
The liquor traffic is the natural enemy of the church,
and she sees the logical end to which its influence
will go unless the traffic be throttled and driven
Either the church will stay and prosper, the liquor
traffic will. The two cannot flourish side by side.
When it appears that the influence Of the church is
strongly felt in the curtament of the liquor traffic,
the traffic will fght-will fight the church-and will
fight anything that interferes with its growth.
The Y NJ c. A. Incident in Peoria
This is not the first time the liquor traffic has
made it's influence felt in matters affecting the church
and religion 1t the liquor traffic that kept Billy
Sunday from coming to Peoria and are told that
the brewers and dstlers gave the last $1,000 the
new Y NJ. C. A. fund out of consideration for a
certain minister in Peoria who had by his opposition
kept Mr.. Sunday out of that city.

Of a fistic initiative by Mr.. Cobb,
and admitting that the Detroit play
ers might have kept still Lad they
been playing better ball, the Incl
dent suggests the need existing on
many ball fields for better protection
for the player.
As President Ban" Johnson says,
any American league player can have
any Objectionable spectator elected
from the grounds Probably the
rules Of all leagues give theoretical
~ a similar protection, Neverthe-
less, for every case where an insult
ing spectator is cast into outer dark
ness, there are probably a hundred
where the ball player swallows his
just wrath in silence rather than do
anything that would make him look
sensitive.
The average base ball crowd gives
but scant courtesy to a visiting team
If the visitors win, two out of three
spectators form an inflexible opinion
that the umpire is a ''Robber," and
they make public announcement O
that fact
If they had their way, many of the
not content to let nine men be mat
ched against nine men in fair play
would descend upon the visiting black
guards and thrash them on the spot
AS the rules do not permit this, they
do the next best thing, and try tc
break their nerve by hooting and

His sacred soil also possesses mann
