DR.. WILBUR R. CRAFTS
DELIVERS LECTURE
Effort Was Masterpiece And Was
Heard With Great Interest By
Those Present.

DIR. Wilbur r. Crafts, Superinten-
dent of the International Reform
Bureau. delivered an able lecture OF
BATTLES Won and Battles On In
State and Nation" at the First
Presbyterian church on Tuesday.
Only a small crowd was present, for
the address. which was one of the
ablest ever delivered in this city.
DIR. Crafts bears an international
reputation as a reform worker, and
his address along this line was heard
with great interest.
Thoroughly informed as he is with
reference TO all national legislation
especially that bearing on moral is
sues, his resume of what had been
accomplished in the fight against
gambling. impurity, Sabbath breaking
and intemperance, was an lnspira-
ton and an assurance Of ultimate
victory.
He called attention u the fact
that Kentucky is one of eight states
that still permits race track gambling
There is only one state and the Dis
trict of Columbia that have Sunday
laws.
The fight against impunity as a
rational issue must be mainly against
the divorce evil. There would be no
advantage in a uniform divorce law
unless it be on the high plane of tie
New York law which recognizes onl!
one rightful cause for divorce.
The great temperance fight fer the
nation is the Sheppard-Kenyon bill
now pending in Congress which pro-
hibits the shipment Of liquor into
dry states or territory 10. unlawful
purposes.
BY banners. flags Of a score Of
different nations stretched across the
front of the church, he showed how
many nations are united in the fight
against opium and alcohol. as to its
shipment to the uncivilized peoples
of the world.
He warned the temperance people
especially Of the awful blunder they
make in putting wet men in Office to
enforce dry legislation and that laws
passed meant not the winning but
the beginning of thc fi"ht I'm clos
ing he urged all voters TO send cards
to Congressman, importuning them
to take an active interest in the pas
sage of the bill before Cognress.

Opposed BY The Cities,

The most determined opposition
came from the Senators and Repre-
Sentatives living in the large cities.
with Senator Huffaker In the Sen
ate as the leader. Every amendment
offered by the opposition in the
Senate was voted down, however.
and the Eaton Bill came out of the
parliamentary battle unscathed.
while the Thompson Bill was only
stripped of the sections providing
for the selection of delegates to the
National Convention. and the ex-
preston of presidential preferences
in the primaries The Eaton bill con-
tanned no such provisions.
The opposition used every means
possible to delay passage or recon-
NIT the bill in the Senate, but When
it was finally put on its passage the
opponents Of the bill voted for it
