PROGRAM OF w. Z. =. \. CALLED
OF'F,ASD .ANTT-SALOON LEAGUE
FURNISHES SPEAKERS.

The Woman's Prohibition League of
America Will hold its regular meeting
next Tuesday night on the Ford motel
lot, at which time the Rev. W. j,
Young will deliver the address Of the
evening.
The melting for last night by the
league was called off On account Of the
rain, which wet the. seats and made II
impossible to arrange for the service.
However. a number Of people were on
the lot at the time scheduled for the
opening of the meeting. SO the Anti-
saloon league supplied speakers for
the occasion and the affair proceeded
A crowd gradually gathered. and at
the close of the speaking there We're
about three hundred people on tins lot
Rev +, J. Richardson was the first
speaker and gave q short address. fall
of force. in whith he made some d.
root thrusts at the saloon interests IN
the campaign. He pointed out the
habituaI mode OF procedure Of the
liquor traffic, which is to ask for the
votes of citizens to allow il 70 1--we and
then turning 10 destroy those who
have created it. like a viper IN the

Mr. Richardson also showed the
fallaCy of the argument that claims
the saloon revenue Is necessary for
the support of the schools, when, for
every child who is educated some
other child must he made slave ~
drink in order 70 support the saloon
that furnishes the revenue,
MT Richardson made special
plea to business men on the score
that the tactics employed by the
liquor interests In spreading ISLANDERS
over the State in regard To North
Carolina and nearby States is reacttnS
10 the detriment of Richmond busi-
ness in that the citizens Of those
cities. such as Durham. \, G.. con
corning which such SANDERS havc
been perpetrated in Richmond, are
turning already to other centers Tor
supplies
The second speaker was Rev. J. A.
Naples. a noted prohibition orator.
who held the closest attention Of his
audience by his able handling OF the
topic Mr.. Naples is a good handler
of humar and with his wit does not
fail TO make the point of his argu-
ment clear He stated in the begin
ming that he had no animus against
the saloonkeeper and only thought
he should be in some other business.
Mr.. Naples made short shrift of the
personal liberty argument of the VETS,
which he said meant personal liquor,
and also put much emphasis on the
futility of the contention that the
saloon Is needed to build the town
Said he. some mighty good dogs have
feas, and some mighty good towns
have saloons. but the saloons are no
more, necessary to the town than the
fieas are to the dog.
The speaker showed that the fight
being conducted in Virginia for the
retention Of the saloon Is merely a
part of the nationwide conflict that the
saloon is carrying on for its existence.

time has passed ana NOW the saloon
