no service or commodity to society, and that it is therefore not to be classed with legitimate business, but with crime
 Stating that the traffic is opposed to business integrity, Sabbath obser- vance, and purity in home life, Dr. Wilson declared that the saloon rem ders no legitimate service for the money which it receives and pays no revenue in return. 'I could open saloon in your city" said Dr.. Wilson, but the question is, would l iden- tify myself with the business inter ests of the criminal interests? Every dollar that goes into the sluiceWay ] of vice is a dollar removed from the legitimate channels of business" Speaking of gambling, Dr. Wilson said, The man who goes into a gambling den does one of two things Either he gets something for nothing, or he gets nothing for something. | The man who gets something for l nothing is thief; the man who gets nothing for something is a fool. ] "The saloon pays no revenue to your city, your state or the nation" continued Dr. Wilson. Tt returns only s1,OOO for every s3S,O00 it col | lects from the pockets of your boys and men, The license proposition is a losing proposition, and it's results are idle men, drunkards, and crim- inals The whole system is a whole sale blunder'
 In concluding. the speaker told of the adoption of prohibition in Kan sas, and spoke of the prosperity which that state now enjoys. He was followed by Daniel A. Polling, presidents associate of the United Society of Christian Endeavor and president of the national council of 100.
 The liquor traffic as a barrier to the conservation of humanity, both from physical and moral standpoint, was the subject treated i by MT. Polling, who began by blam ing the saloon as largely responsible | for child labor ''The traffic stands in the road of children, because it has tempered with the chief bread winner We cannot solve the prob lem by dealing only with its effects. We must attack that institution which has made it necessary for 1 thousands of children to win their own bread.
 The saloon is an industrial bar expense of every legitimate business in this state, and in the nation. To judge it. you must judge it by the finished product. And it's finished product is wrecked and diseased bodies, wrecked and diseased minds. land wrecked and damned souls. It is an unfair business competitor It gives no concern in this city q square deal, for it creates an appetite for that which it sells.
 Prohibition, they say, does not prohibit. It fails because some peo- pie want it to fail, because the liquor traffic wants it to fail. We are not trying to make people good by law: we are trying to make the law good
 At the close of the meeting an op- portunity was given those present tC
 enlist in the fight for nation-w wide
 prohibition, and there was a general
 response to the invitation.
 Dr. D. V. Polling, soloist with the
 first division, and A. R. Roper, plan
 ist, rendered a number of fine selec-
 tions at each meeting. A pleasing feature of the evening meeting was
 the rendition by MT. Roper of three
 melodies at the same time, ending
 with an imitation of chimes. Dr. Pol
 ing sang Tt Is Not Fair, campaign
 song of the Flying Squadron at thu
 same meeting.
