he ought or could have been. The very
best manhood is the outgrowth of that
moral fiber which has never been in

OF sowing wild oats Is the devils logic

gained not by mendlng broken machine

CALLS ALCOHOL
MEANEST POISON
Mrs. Mary Harris Armor Ar
raigns Liquor Traffic in
lmpassioned Speech.
LARGE CROWD HEARS IT
Resolutions Passed Censuring House
Committee for Dodging the
Jones' Works Bill.

Mrs. Mary Harris Armor, noted tenn
perance lecturer, of Georgia, made an
| impassioned arraignment of the condi-
| tions OF the liquor traffic in the District,
and an appeal to her audience to use
| their influence to secure the passage of
the Jones-works excise bill toward max
| ing the city "a little cleaner" in an ad-
dress before q filled house at the New
National Theater yesterday afternoon.
Upon the conclusion OF her address,
resolutions passing censure upon the
House District Committee for its fail
ure to take action upon the Jones-Works
measure, and calling upon the House
Committee on Rules to discharge the
District Committee from further consid-
Grafton of this bill. and to report it to
the Committee of the House at the ear
liest possible moment during this ses-
sion, were introduced by +. W. Oyster.
The resolutions were adopted by the
meeting and in accordance with their
provisions a committee of ten men and
five women was appointed from among
those present to bring the resolutions
TO the attention OF the Committee on
ther efforts for the passage of the Jones'
Works bill.
Call. Alcohol Poison.
Mrs. Armor told her audience that al
cohoI was the meanest poison on earth.
1t not only destroys the will, and hence
robs its victims of self-oontrol, she said,
but II enormously decreases their power
Of resistance to disease germs. Life
would be increased by about one-fifth If
alcohol were banished from the world.
1T is one of the most terrible habit
forming evils" she said. First man
takes a teaspoonful. then a tablespoon
full, then a glassful. then barrelful.
then a hogsheadful-and then, first thing
he knows. he wants TO swim in IT, No
person ever got enough 'likker, " Mrs.
Armor stated.
Did you ever see anybody get house
and lot by drinking 'lilker, she de-
manded. Or an advertisement, Wanted,
a cashier; must be a good boozer'?''
In fifty years, unless the prohibition
movement triumphs, Mrs. Armor said.
the country will be ruined. The ''lillker
gang defy the law, and i'm their fight
upon the proposed legislation for the
District openly imply that they will not
keep the law, IL it works them hardship.
she charged.
IF you get rid of the saloons in the
District, everybody Will be buying more
beefsteak," she said. The Jones-Works
bill will make Washington a little bit
cleaner. and ] don't think that with the
800 saloons that will still be left any one
will need to suffer for a drink"

PROTECTING THE PUBLIC

Berea has number OF ordinances
restricting the use OF bicycles. motor
cycles. and automobiles. but hitherto
there have not been any prosecutions
for their violation, although there has
been a good deal of comment among
citizens about reckless driving, and
the failure on the part of number
Of persons In the observance OF the
rules about crossings and the use OF
sidewalks.
A little incident last Friday. which
came near being serious. may result
In future enforcement of these ordi-
ances. A number Of children on their
way TO school were crossing Main st.
at the corner OF Industrial building,
when they saw a motorcycle coming
up the street from Science Hall. They
scampered away. leaving the cross
ing. and made for the sidewalk in
front Of the Berea Printing school.
but just before getting TO safety the
cyclist turned on the sidewalk lead
ing by the Printing School, He ran
In among the little girls. and struck
one. knocking her down. though not
injuring her. owing to the fact that
he was going very slowly. A number
OF persons witnessed the incident.
and expected to see one or more OF
the children severity hurt.
The matter was reported to police
Judge. Holiday. and the offender was
tried In the Police Court. Monday
morning. The Editor OF the Citizen
was the only witness called. and as
the father OF the child made no COM
plant. fine OF five dollars and costs
was entered for the violation OF an
ordinance prohibiting the use OF the
sidewalks TO cyclists.

Or. WEATnERFORD'S VISIT
Outline Of Sunday Night Address

The College and Berea were great
ly favored this week by visit from
DR.. Weatherford. Field Secretary Of
the Y. VI. c. A. for the South.
DR.. Weatherford addressed the con-
vocation, Sunday afternoon, and gave
an address before the united chapel,
Sunday night. His address in the
afternoon was on the subject of per-
sonal Christian work. or how to in
troduce people to Christ. 1t was very
favorbaly received by the Convoca-
ton. The address lat night was on
the one subject that the Doctor is
most competent to treat-the negro
problem.
The speaker is Southern man.
many OF whose people fought in the
Confederate armies, and he is a bril-
liant example from the South of the
men who are able to throw aside
prejudice. and study a subject upon
its merits. In a particular sense, he
is John the Baptist, who is preach
ing a new gospel. and showing in a
convincing way the South's obliga-
ton to her former slaves and to an
increasing proportion OF her popula-
ton.
DR.. weatherford's argument is a
striking and convincing one under
six heads, the first five Of which he
frankly classifies as an appeal to our
selfish instincts, but in the sixth
he reaches what he calls higher
ground, and makes up for any un-
worthincss In the appeal Of the other
five.
In the first place. he claims that
the negro problem demands the at
tention of white southerners. owing
to tho economic development of the
negroes themselves. stating that one
hundred million acres Of the South's
territory is under cultivation by the
negro race, and citing one instance in
which a colored man formerly raised
twenty bushels OF corn on five acres.
but now raises fifty-eight bushels 10
the acre.
In the second place the negro prob
lem compels the attention Of South
orn whites owing TO health conditions
among the colored population. The
white man. simply from motives Of
self-preservation. must be his broth
er's keeper. for consumption and
typhoid fevcr-the scourges OF the
negro racc-aro not respecters of per-
sons.
The third argument was that of
moral influence. Character is caught.

THE SALE IS NOW ON
R. J. and CHESTER ENCLE

again the white man must take an
interest in his colored neighbor. II
not for the benefit and interest OF
his neighbor. to protect the morals
Of his own family and the white COM
munity.
Fourth, The Southern white man
cannot afford to be ignorant of con-
ditions at his door. The negro is in
the South to stay. and is an i'm
portant factor in the South, and the
Southern white man only makes him
self o laughing stock, when he speaks
dogmatically about conditions among
the colored people, II he has never
been in q cultivated colored home,
has never addressed a school of col
ored children. has never attended
religious services among the cofored
people. except as a matter Of enter
tainment, and In fact, is not able TO
speak from experience as to the pro-
gress that is taking place among col
ored people.
Fifth. The intelligent Southern man
must study the problem. because the
negro is making progress-progress in
many instances as marked as the
Southern white man.
Sixth, The chief argument for the
study and the understanding Of the
negro problem by white Southerners,
as given by DIR. Weatherford, is the
mutual kinship of the colored man
and the white man to God. In other
words God has made Of one blood
all the nations of the world, and
every race and individual is in a
sense responsible for. and under obi
cations to every other race and in
dividual.
1T is not the negro that is on
trial" said the speaker. but the
white man."
At the conclusion of the address an
organization among the students
Christian societies was effected for
the study of the problem. DR.. Weather
ford's book will be the text book.
and 1t IS proposed to give an hour on
four successive Sunday nights to It's
study.

HObS0N'S ADDRESS

The last number OF the Lyceum
Course was given. Saturday night, the
lecture being given by Capt. Hobson
of Spanish American War fame, at
present representative In Congress
,Srm Alabama. His subject ms an
|e9dnced. was. Americas part In the
worlds struggle for the blessings OF
Industrial liberty" lie spoke for near
ly two hours to a good audience. and
for the most part held their inter-
est and attention.
Quite a number had heard the lee
turer. when he was here two years
ago, at which time he made several
addresses and frequent repeuons were
noted. which lessened their interest
in the lecture. OF course. a large
number OF those present had never
heard OF seen Capt Hobson. and all
that he said was new to them. and
Of great interest.
Il Is much to be regretted that no
definite arrangements seemed TO have
been made for meeting the lecturer.
lie was allowed TO come up from the
station In the hack alone. and there
was no one present for quite awhile TO
take charge OF aim before the lecture.
and To introduce him. DIR. Roberts.
in tho absence OF any one appointed
for the purpose at the suggestion Of
friends In the audience. came TO the
rescue and In few words introduc-
Cd tho speaker and relieved the situa-
ton.
Il In possible that any lack Of In
terest manifested by any one In the
lecture may be due to the contrast In
Mr.. Hobson's own mind with his
reception. two years ago. when he
was met at the station by companies
OF students led by the band. and
the present reception. OF course. this
difference was not intentional on any
tody's part, but was simply due to a
failure or hitch in the program 80 far
unexplained.
