their Agent" and in charge of their place OF
business in the Bell building in that CITY, and
which is said to mean that he was or is the

"No Representative OF Liquor Trade"
DR.. Stuart MCGUIRE, II his speech at the
Academy, declared that at the initial meeting
In the Jefferson hotel, there was not man
present who had any interest in the liquor
business" and 1t has been loudly proclaimed
that the liquor traffic had no representative
on the stage at the Acadmey of Music. And,
yet, If the statement of the Alabama Christian
Advocate Is correct~and the editor publishes
the same on the front pags. and letter in the
possession of the writer from distinguished
citizen of Alabama, declares that this is fact
then the imported prophet from Alabama
who denounced the Anti-Saoon league as
"self-rghteous' and as "assassns Of character
and EVOLVES in sleeps covering" and who
declared himself to be steward In the Metho-
dist church, recorded In the ptft,f;c records
OF the State Of Alabama as the agent of the
Pabst Ri ewing Company. Did the honorable
Judge Christian, who introduced the gentle
from Alabama as the star speaker of the
occasion. know the record of his imported
prophet Mr. Goodwin "a wolf
querading in sleeps covering?"

leve that YOU were party to the deception.

by the agent of the liquor traffic Surely your
sense OF fairness and Justice should have
ed you TO rehule this wandering star. when
he presumed to enter upon his TRADE of de
nunciation and vituperation'' against reputable
citizens of Virginia. But not one word did
you ptter and not one word have you uttered
IN reputation of the base ISLANDERS uttered by
this stranger from the far country"

The above Is the list OF men Who have been
selected by the Ant-Saloon league of Virginia
as Its representatives to direct and control
the work of tho league in the State. These
are the wolves in Sleeps covering the men
denounced by Mr.. r.. Tyler Goodwin, the agent
OF the Pabst Brewing Company, as the wolves
with the sleeps covering" who are going to
play the part of assassins hI shooting poisoned
arrows in the backs of the members of the
virginia Association for Local Self-Csovern-
| ment." Mr.. Goodwyn's denunciation OF the
! league leaders IN Alabama has met with the
open. emphatic reputation OF Its correctness
by the conference organ of the Methodist
church, OF which he declares himself TO be
proud. 1t remains to be seen whether the
"Yirginia Association for Local Self-Govern-
ment" will continue to stand for his SANDER
Gus utterances against the reputable, Christian
citizens Of Virginia, or whether the association
will even at this late hour repudiate and de-
nounce those utterances as they deserve.
+ IT was q mistake to go all the way to Ala
bana to import Baiaam "to curse Israel"
