ROBERT w. CROSSER.

Cleveland has brought himself to the
stature of a national figure by in
sisting on Congressional considera-
tien of the question of public own
ership for Washington. Mr.. Crosser
represents the Cleveland school of
advanced thought on municipal prob
lens. He is a worker and fighter.
He knows what the plain people
want because he is one of them. He
worked his way through Kenyon
College, Ohio, by working as jani
tor. Then he worked his way through
the Cincinnati Law School, and ten
years after graduating was elected
to the Ohio legislature from Cleve-
land district. There he forced pas
sage of an initiative and referendum
measure for cities; and when later
he was elected a member of the
State constitutional convention that
made the new and magnificently ad-
vanced constitution of Ohio, he was
one of the leaders in that body. He
was chairman of its committee on
initiative and referendum, and again
won, writing that measure into the
constitution.
Crosser as legislator and as con-
stitution-maker always took the side
of the public, the side of advanced
and progressing thought, on meas
ures. He is fine type of the for
ward-looking, upward-moving public
servant; and his Congressional dis
trict recognized his services when it
sent him to Washington.
Here he was placed on the District
of Columbia Committee in recog-
milton of his qualifications for work
ing out, on national stage, the pur-
poses of the national movement for
betterment of city government. He
has been one of the most active and
useful members of that committee,
and uniformly has been found, just
as in his earlier service, on the side
of the public interest.
When he introduced his measure
for public ownership of the street
railways in Washington it required
some enthusiasm to believe that he
had a chance to get it even serious
attention. But he did. He hammered
away, secured an agreement by the
committee to hold hearings on the
subject and did great deal of eff
fective work toward bringing out
the expression Of the community's
real opinion on the issue.
Of course, these activities of Mr..
Crosser. have lined up, in opposition
to him, the general array of inter-
ests that are accustomed to Cooper
ate for mutual protection wherever
they can help each other. Crosser
is not liked by the franchise-holding
interests of either Washington or
Cleveland; and in both places they
are fighting him as hard as they
know how. They are making deter
mined effort to defeat his renomina-
tion in his Cleveland district, with
present indications that they will
not succeed. 1t is certainly to the
interest of the Washington public |
that he should remain in Congress,
and on the District Committee. That
committee has been so long under
unfortunate domination that it is a
peculiar satisfaction to see an ac-
tive, thinking, progressive man do
ing something through it for the
modernization of government in this |
town.

only important exception.

Rev. P. H. Bussey Writes Of
Work of Anti-Saloon League.
800 ALEXANDER STREET,
ROCHESTER, N. Y,
March IA, 1914.
Dear Mr.. Minis:

March IA, 1914.
Dear Mr.. Minis:
am inclosing, in the form of a
report, some facts as to the organl-
zation and activities of the Anti
Saloon-League. This brief report,
compilation of material from va
rious sources on the subject in hand,
is a small part of class work re-
quired in the study of social prob
lens. This material doubtless will
be old and familiar to many; but
perhaps will be of some help and
encouragement to some who are en-
gagged, in sympathy, at least, in the
great fight that is being made for
temper ance and righteousness and
who may not have access to the
sources of such material as is here
given. For this reason I give it as
it was prepared.
The report is given in four main
divisions, viz: () The Definition
of the Anti-Saloon-League. ~ The
Organization of the League. (3)
The Activity Of the League. ~
Some things accomplished by the
League
The Anti-Saloon league is not a
pulltical party. 1t is federation
of existing organizations and these
organizations are, chiefly, the
Christian churches of America of
almost every denomination creed and
sect.
The Anti-Saloon-League is, in
fact, the church in politics-the
: ns.sasa ssasSsh IN iitaa. And tbss
Holy war in which it is engaged is
the nation wide crusade against the
saloon.
The author of the Anti.Saloon
movement is Howard II. Russell, a
young congregational minister, q
graduate of Oberlin college, and a
man who had already achieved re-
markable victories against the sa-
loon by his courage and skill as an
organizer. For several years he
had seen the wisdom and necessity
of unifcation of the ener-
gies of the church against the sa-
loon, and on two occasions, first 10
Ohio and later in Missouri, he had
temporarily effected Statewide COM
binations of the churches for az
gressive work against the saloon.
Finally, in 1892, while he was in
charge of the Armor Missions III
Chicago, so insistent became the
conviction that upon him devolved
the duty Of rallying the church to
consider and concentrate cf:ort
against the saloon. that he rave ur
his work in Chicago am set him

cause. At Obcr,in there WAS a
