clares They Will Profit by

"seventy-fve per cent OF the bust

and honest and believe they want the
saloon abolished. but for fear that
prohibition will be harmful to their
business they are not coming forward
in suppirt Of it, said Representative
Smith of Idaho. at a temperance mass
meeting held last night at Wesley "
f. Church.
Representative Smith said that i'll
stead of hurting business. prohibition
will aid it: it will place money in
legitimate channels that now goes into
the saloons. He resented the state
ment made by NJ. D. Rosenberg at a
meeting of the Retail Merchants As
ISOLATION recently, when he said that II
the District goes dry national organi-
cations will not hold their conventions
here. Such 4 statement iD not fair to
the members OF such organizations. he
said. Mr.. Smith said that during the

no greater gathering Of business men

annual banquet which this organiza-

Source of Greatest Opposition.

The greatest opposition to prepared
ness, as I view it, comes from the in
ability of individuals to see anything
more than their own particular reli-
gious and political interests.
Americans should be patriotic in
times of peace as we'll as in times of
war. In fact, the best way to be sue
cessfully patriotic in times of war is
to be fully prepared in times OF peace.
Should any of US believe that the
present occupant OF the White House
has failed to live up to the require
ments of his Office. Or that q repre-
sentative of another party, in view
or in spite of the stormy days through
which we are passing, would di-
rect the ship of state more successful
ly than he is actually doing. it will
be our privilege to voice our judgment
next November. But in the name of
patriotism and all that is sacred let
us not base our Judgment On the quick
sands of personal pique or party pas
sion.
Even though we may differ with
regard to religious and political beliefs.
let us not forget that we are Ameri-
cans all, and that it is the sacred duty
Of each not to be untrue to those prin-
ciples and ideals for which America
and American institutions stand"

National Preparedness.

Regarding national preparedness, the
speaker said:
"One need not be specialist in state
craft to realize that this country is
even now passing through dangerous
shoals. and should be prepared to meet
any emergency which the future might
suddenly disclose. 1 am not advocat-
ing the building of mighty navy or
referring to the proposed increase of
our standing fighting forces I am not
party to the propaganda for national
defense in the current sense of the
term. This ia problem to be decided
by other councils and in the light of
the evidence as to just what the coun-
try needs. Should a stupendous army
and naval program be superf1uous, let
US direct our energy and resources
into other and more profitable chan
nels. But if the safety of the nation
really demands a more adequate de-
Tense, then. in the name of God, let US
arm to the teeth.
This, however, is neither here nor
there: The preparedness to which I
refer is anterior and essential to
whatever form prepa redness may as
sumo. l refer to that spirit OF unity,
patriotism and solidarity without
which this country. with all it's poten-
tialities. and prospects will Sbe prepar-
er for nothing but national disgrace,
if not disaster.

Mexican Situation Discussed,

In reference to the Mexican situa-
ton. DR.. O'Reilly said
The work of making historical
Christianity acceptable to the millions
of unbelieving Americans is being
thWarted by the abuse and vilification
which certain self-appointed spokes-
men OF catholicism have been heaping
upon our government, especially in its
handling of the Mexican muddle. Cath
ono patriotism. gentlemen. is laying
itself open to be seriously questioned
throughout the land. Even granting,
for the sake of supposition, that our
government has been the deliberate
enemy of the church in Mexico-a sup
position still to be proved-why should
at home"
And why should we turn our reli-
glous interest in the church every
where into a political disturbance in
our own national lifeo Why make the
internal tranquility of our own coun-
try suffer for the mismanagement and
inefflciency of those living in another?
Even granting that our President may
seem to have made mistakes in his
pol1cy with regard to our unfortunate
nelghbor to the south, why insist on
publicly abusing our. chief executive,
especially when We do not know all
the facts, national and international.
governing his judgment and action,
and still more especially when such
abuse. instead of undoing whatever
mistakes have been made, will rebound
to nothing but our own discredit and
that of the spiritual organization and
cause which we represent?

An account of the life Of Matthew

His Election as Mayor.

In 1855 Mr.. Emery was elected mem
Der of the board of aldermen from the
fourth ward. and in 1869 again elected
to the board. During his last term he OPP
posed the policies of Mayor Sayle5 >.
Bowen as destructive of the best interests
of Washington. He was urged to become
the reform candidate for mayor, and IN
entering the race received the support OF
The Evening Star. His election was a c-
complished by the largest vote IN the
city's history.
Mr.. Cox's paper discussed at length
some of the reforms accomplished during
the Emery administration. Reference was
made to Il visit paid Gen. Grant by a
committee consisting Of Mayor Eme e,,s
Star, and others, to urge the President
to recommend to Congress the donation
Of public lands for education in the Dis
