Show EMPTY VIALS OF WRATH UPON BISHOP POTTER Temperance Young People of Kansas City : Attack His Model Saloon Plan With Vigor. 1 - . ' KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 5. The Kansas City branch of the American Young People's Christian Temperance union strongly disapproves of the ideas of Bishop Potter of New York with re- y gard to uplifting the moral tone of the saloon. At a meeting of the union the matter was discussed and a letter was addressed to the bishop as follows; "May God have mercy upon your be- nighted idea of striking 'the keynote of attack upon the liquor situation.' You are, rather, indorsing the key that opens wide the doors to hell for the army of 100,000 souls who annually leave the king's highway and stumble into drunkards' drunk-ards' graves. "The present situation across the water of fifty-five bishops In the Church of England as stockholders in breweries and distilleries, with this shameful farce of a btshop In the great Episcopal church In our own land taking ta-king a leading part in the opening exercises ex-ercises of a saloon, closing the same by singing the Doxology should make every professed Christ follower in this great Episcopal church hang his head in very shame."
