BILLY SUNDAY TATHS
TOP. R. EMPLOYEES
Evangelist Asks Workmen to
Lead Good Lives for Sake of
Personal Gain.

More than 1000 begrimed men, clad In
overalls, assembled in the woodmill at
the West Philadelphia shops Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad at noon today to hear
BILLY" Sunday deliver an informal ad-
dress on religion from the standpoint
Of profit and loss.
II would rather talk 20 railroad men,"
he said by way Of introduction, than to
any men know. 1 used to fire an engine
myself; that was before they had fire
pans as large as from here to that door.
I'm going to tell you a little story
of the man told about in the Bible
who went out in the vineyard to employ
men to work for him."
BILLY" then outlined the typical story
and afterward drew a parallel between
1t and the employer of modern times.
That man considered II from the
standpoint of profit and loss, just as the
Pennsylvania Railroad does with Its OPP
erations.
THE cost of wear and tear on locomo-
tlves, your salaries and all those things
are taken into consideration.
1T Is cold-blooded proposition OF
does IL pay?' All right. That Is the
way 1 want you to look at religion.
There Is not man here who would not
rather do right than wrong. VINO would
rather be sick than well, or get IS
day instead of s2 why then should he
not prefer to lead good Christian life
than one which will lead to nothing but
misery and unhnppiness.'
"The Lord" said Sunday, "is good
boss. He is the kind you should work
your head of for. He knows His men.
Too many fellows run through life with
out needing headlights, switches and
danger signals. Their end often comes In
the form of disaster.
Are you satisfied with the pay you
arc getting? man who works for the
devil gets the devils wages In the form
of disease, insanity and a 20-year free
meal ticket In the penitentlary. I'll bet
there are fellows here who, II they were
sick, would need subscription to take
care of their family. Why? Because
some of you have been fools enough TO
cater to booze, which leaves you only
trembling home and bad taste In your
mouth.
"I'l bet there nre fellows here who
have no carpets in their homes because
the whisky corporations got a hoid on
them and poured booze down their
throats. When man does that l don't
care who he is, he's a jackass, that's all
there is about 1t.
"You should lay up for the future. You
know you can't always get work. There
will come time when I will have to run
in on a side track My voice may go back
on me, who can tell?'
'I have to laugh" Billy said, as he
grinned thoughtfully. when l first went
to work l got 50 a week. You can pct IN
those days people didn't call me
In concluding his address, BILLY" re-
marked: +,
Work good conscientious work, Is
YOUR letter of credit. When you work
for God, God will work for you But
YOU work for the devil, he will work Tor
YOU, too. And mis- pay Is stoop,
shouldered bleary-eyed and hagsaru
face"

SUNDAY VISITS SICK STUDENT
Evangelist Sees Young Man Who Is
Making Brave Fight for Life.

"Billy" Sunday, touched by the story
of the brave fight for life being made by
James w. Keith, senior in the Jefferson
Medical College, in the Jefferson Hos
pital, where he has been lowering be-
tween life and death for almost year,
visited the hospital last night and spoke
a few words OF announcement to the
Young man. This morning young Keith
seemed stronger than he had been for
some time and was delighted with the
cali from the famous evangelist.
Mr.. Sunday was told of Keith's suffer-
ing by Police Captain Tempest The stu
dent was injured last April when he fell
through a skylight in fraternity house

.AhT|-R0AOH0USE Law VALID
State Supreme Court Puts an End to
the Issuing Of Saloon Licenses
by County Boards.

The antiroadhouse law was held
valid by the state supreme court in a
decision handed down in the case of
William l.. Kohlman, who was arrest
ed on the charge of operating blind
pig at, Kohlman's lake near st. Paul.
The decision of Judge Michael of the
Ramsey county district court is re-
versed
The court passed on the alleged ir-
Irregularities which it was urged made
the law void. The defendant urged
that the. law was not legally passed
because the house failed to suspend
the rules by two-thirds vote to per-
nit the second and third readings of
the bill on the same day.
The supreme court held this is not
necessary, but that the passage of the
law by vote of more than two-thirds
OF the house automatically suspended
the rules. They held also that it re-
quires no particular formalities to
suspend the rules, but that the body
itself by its action may overcome all
such objections
The decision puts an end to the
granting of liquor licenses by county
boards and holds that only duly in
corporated cities and villages may
grant such licenses.

BOARD P0WERLESS TO ACT
Says Telephone Rates Took Effect
Prior to Jtfiv I

The state railroad and warehouse
commission in letter told the traffic
division of the Minneapolis Civic and
Commerce association that it had no
power to prevent the telephone COM
panies from increasing their rates
prior to July l, when the commission
assumed control of the rates. and that
the commission did not have power
to compel the companies to restore
the rates that prevailed before the
companies changed rates in May and
June.
The association asked the commits
sion to use its influence with the
Northwestern Telephone company,
which changed it's rates May /, and
the Tri-State Telephone and Tele-
graph company, which changed it's
rates June l, to get them to restore
the old rates as basis for rate ad-
justment by the commission
The rate changes announced by the
companies in general increased the
rates and the Civic and Commerce as
sociation contended that the rates in
force when the law was passed should
be used as basis for adjustment by
the commission.

carried by the drys by S57 votes.
Goodhue county went wet by about
200 votes. Red Wing voted to keep
its twenty saloons and two breweries

The coal situation IS rapidly becom-

hours and dispatches from industrial
centers said the production Of war
munitions is gravely teopardized.
The closing Of the mines cuts of a

Lol1So1l, July 20.-Attention is now
eentered Oh the gigantic operations in
the eastern field Of war, where fight
Ing is tn full swing in nearly every
section of the Russian line from the
Baltic to the Dnfester.
General Won Buelow, who was on
the Left of General Won Khnck in the
first in~asion of France, now COM
mands the extreme left of the German
advance toward Riga, which is being
conducted by cavalry on scale ex-
ceedine anything heretofore during the
war. Berlin claims a steady advance
and Petrograd comedies an advance
after the Russian forces had made a
stubborn contest
On Won Buehow's right is General
Won Efchhorn, who is being held up
by the great Russian fortress, Osseo-
wetz. On Won Eichhorn's right is
General Won Gallwttz, whose name ap.
pears for the first time in large oper-
atoms. After capturing Przansysz he
is now pressing a German attack on
the Narew river and its tributaries.
On the famous Rawka and Bzura
lines there is comparative quiet,
which Also is reflected on the south
side of Warsaw, but to the southeast
the movement against Lubhn, which
was temporarily checked, is again in
full swing.
Russia May Withdraw From Poland.
The Russians must fight a defensive
battle for the possession of Warsaw
or abandon all of Poland The Ger.
mans are considered undoubtedly to
prefer the first issue, hence the Rus
slams, in the opinion of many military
observers, are likely to attempt a
complete withdrawal with their ar
mics intact.
These tremendous activities by the
Germans in the east suggest that they
have little reserve left to devote to
the western campaign, which offers
the entente allies respite, either for
the completion of munition supplies
or concerted attempt to capture
Lille.
Another view holds that the best
service her allies could give Russia at
this time would be the forcing of the
Dardanefles. It Is possible that the
allies may combine both suggested at
tempts, but it Is unquestionable that
for the time the center of gravity in
the war has shifted to Eastern Eu-
rope.
