Should be Blamed for the Growth of the Traf I fic ns the People Could Suppress it i if They Wished Saloons in Cuba and Philippines Missionary Work I Needed Among Christians 1 In the presence of ah audience which almost filled the large tent in which the gospel meetings have been conducted con-ducted by Evangelist Oliver Hon John G TVoollcy Prohibition candidate for President and noted temperance orator last evening delivered an Interesting address upon the temperance question Intermingling his remarks with references refer-ences to the political situation In America Amer-ica at the present time He Is a convincing con-vincing speaker with a fund of ready wit and one whose clearcut incisive arguments cannot fail to Impress the listener lie did not mince matters In dealing with those whom he thought 10 sponslble for the state of affairs and contrary to the general rule blamed not the saloonkeepers but the Christian men of the country for the existing evils The speaker who was Introduced by u Judge JBoreman of Ogden was frequently c fre-quently interrupted by applause and remarks showing that the sympathies of the audience were with him After apologizing for a slight hoarseness hoarse-ness contracted in Colorado and winning I win-ning the good graces o the audience by remarking that if he looked as silly as he felt when the audience greeted him wIth such great applause he must indeed in-deed look silly Mr Woolley struclc the keynote of hIs address In the following I words TALKING TO CHRISTIAN PEOPLE I have no prophecy to make as to who shall carry the country In the coming com-ing election but by the grace of God every man of you can carry himself like a Christian man I say nothing as to whether the Prohibition party will I break up the Republican party J or the I Democratic party or any other but I i do say that It is the duty of every self respecting man to break the chains that bind him to any party and to claim his divine right to show himself a I I man at every election day I am addressing ad-dressing myself chiefly on this trip and Indeed In all my work to Chris I I thin people first because I think they i rI 1frzfr C fi N J cc A

are politically toM po-litically the worst of the people and the i2 most in need of missionary work rlhls is j a Christian countrY and I believe a J il r prohibition country If the Christian manhood were tp assert Itself and tot to-t > have Its way on election day yet the most IniQuitous business l that the world has ever seen dominates our commerce dictates our political policy defeats Justice disseminates vice and pauperism c pauper-ism and Idiocy and orlmc disgraces our fl flag debauches our sons defiles our daughter despoils our homes desecrates dese-crates our altars and continues to exist l ex-ist and to do buslnesa and to thrive by the express authority of the law of the i land Then the speaker gave statistics toIl to-Il phow that the voters of the country wore not Ignorant of the corruption 3 I that existed when they last voted at a Konural election how opposcns to the I llrjuor traffic had spread broadcast I through the laml literature to allow ita I dreadful effects that the laws upon our Ii statute books did not just happen to be there but wore put there when those who framed them had full knowledge regarding the increase of tho liquor V traffic but he said that the protection and tho honor OC the American home were not things to even be mentioned Ul In the great prosperity campaign of I ISDC and this was done with the content v con-tent of 09 per cent of the Christian voter of tho land DLAGNOSIS OF THE TROUBLE I1 The speaker next diagnosed the qasp r to find out what the trouble was say I Ing there was no use to apply the medicine 4 med-icine unless he knew what was the matter with the patient and in this I connection he said In a Chrlslian L V republic whore there are 7000000 Ohrlf tlan voters who make absolutely no I difference in the liquor traffic at an election there Is something Aviong In a Christian country whole a minister the gospel docs not amount to cwjow of I pins In an election there is something ailing the country In a Christian country like this where soldiers arc being be-ing murdered night and day by the canteen can-teen backed and upheld by a Methodist Metho-dist President there IK something the matter and I want to find out what It is He said he would diagnose the ailment by what was known to the physician as tho process of exclusion that is the physician doctors the man for everything under the sun and finds he Is 1 not aillletcd with any of the diseases dis-eases finally hits upon a new one doctors doc-tors the man and he recovers and that Is what Is known as the process of exclusion ex-clusion PHYSICIANS LARGELY TO BLAME So wllh the ailment of our country He did not wish to blame the physicians entirely although he thought they were largely at fault for the too liberal use of Intoxicants in prescribing medicines Unlike the woman whom he recently heard In Boston he did not wish to lay the fault at the door of the cooks of the country Nor did he wish to blame the scolding wives nor the preachers nor the olllclals of the Government Nation Na-tion State city or county He denied < the charge which he said was often made that he was a maligner of the churches and a slanderer of the ministers minis-ters He expressed the opinion that ministers might individually and collectively col-lectively improve along the lines of reform re-form but said too that the Idea that the country would ever be saved through the ministers was wrong that there were not enough of them and if there were It was npt manly and Christian and honest for a man to put upon the minister work which God gave him to do himself His description of i what a congregation expects of a minister min-ister and his wife given just at this point was excruciatingly funny and yet so true as to be almost painful 1 GINSELLERS RETIRING DISPOSITION DISPO-SITION INIr Woolley said he did not wish to attack the saloonkeepers that If anything any-thing In the world he understood it was the retiring disposition of the ginsell er and also that saloons did not establish estab-lish themselves unless they were welcomed wel-comed by the good people and unless the saloonkeepeis received full protection protec-tion In their business He said ho had no love for saloonkeepers but if yoti measure men by single actions and If when you measure them you can respect re-spect the differences their ideals then I believe the man who buys whisky whis-ky and drinks whisky and sells whisky is a better man than the goodlsh man Is who as likely as any belongs to the I church and who would not buy whisky I or drink whisky or sell whisky but is none too good to vote at an election so that another man may have the light to sell liquors to his customers The ordinary Christian voter In Salt Lake City in Illinois or the United States of America does vote at every general election and mostly at every local I lo-cal election so that the saloon shall continue as lawful as a church of Jesus Christ and politically as respectable asa as-a church II LIQUOR AND THE FLAG He said that the saloonkeeper divided his profits Into I three parts one for the general Government one for the local government and one for himself the largest part for the Federal Government I Govern-ment so that OldGlory can be sent with a million bottles Milwaukee ee clvlllza I r lion to Christianize the Filipinos so that the first eight months of American domination In Manila 135 American gIn mllls can run up Old Glory by the authority au-thority of the Christian Government here at home and so that in the first twelve months of American dominion in Porto Rico and Cuba 3500 American glnmlllB can fly tho Stars and Stripes with the Indorsement of a Methodist President in good standing In the church which remark was greeted with cries of Shame on the President A FEY HOT SHOTS While not attacking eIther of the old political parties Mr Woolley so adroitly worded his arguments and sent his shots with such unerring aim that no one doubted for a moment that his respect I re-spect for them Is not aH high as It might be He said that 1C a man found himself him-self In one of the old parties he must hear In mind that ho matt r how unclean un-clean It was It waa Just as clean as he was and one of the things which ailed It was that he was in It He said too that a man was in a party not because he had to be but like the drunkard In the gutter because he belonged there and because he would not fit In a clean party until he had had a bath And right here the speaker made a rcmarl which caused considerable laughter Tho gutter Is like the Legislature the exclusive Judge of the eligibility or Its members AS TOCANTEEN LAW And still another reference was made to President McKinley and the canteen law in these words If you have your mind macIe up to vote for the canteen can-teen President you ought not to bother God any more about the murder of sol dlcrs Jn the Islands and in the camp of the country Pray for rain or a late winter or the hungry people In India but dont pray about the canteen Ir I you are going to vote for a canteen President rho officeholders In this country bad as they are and 1 they ala > al-a bad lot are good enough tonlgh Wlthnut the f rhflMcrn nf n mon to tlch |
