Th specious " auditorium ot.th First Baptist , chwolv, was, (crowded with a. nit audience : st nlht. which listened with rapt atUnUoa to the splendid address or Rev. wiieur T. Crafts, Ph. D., of Washlnctbo city, ths superlnttadent or the Interna tional Reform ' Bureau. . - The aUslea of the church were crowded with those people; who were unable to ae cure aeata and the vestibules were thronged with those who were not able to enter the doors. No services were held at the First Presbyterian and Central Methodist churobei, It having been decided to hold a union meeting of the three churches. Dr. Crafts spoke on "Battles Won and Battlea On." He was introduced by JaSto 3. C. Prltchard. who com plimented the speaker highly, ths service having "been opened-, with the reading of the Scripture by Dr. R F. Campbell. th pastor of the.; First Presbyterian church,: which was fol lowed by a duet by Mr. and Mrs. J. U Blanlcenahlp of . Texas, member! of the - Bouthern Baptlat Mission board. ' 0r. Craft spoke for fifty minutes and during that time held the audi tided attention of the audience. He is r pleasing speaker and has facta at the end of his tongue, which are Interesting. He appeared here la or der that public sentiment might' be stirred ln favor of the - Kenyon Bhepgard Interstate liquor bill, which haa as Its object the . withdrawal of Interstate commerce protection from all shipments . of : whiskey from on state tnto another for Illegal pur poses. The speaker urged that Ashe villlans write to their representative th cengrssa and their United State senators aaklng them not only to tup port the bill but to work In its be half and to use every means within their power to get It before congress and out of the hands of . the Judi ciary committee. , He expressed the belief that the : United State will some day av natlonat prohibition, although before that eute is reached a number tot preliminary move must be made, one of which 1 the regulation of the, liquor traffic. He stated tha'f "the alogan for the pas- sage of the Ksnyon-Shsppard bill .1. "Dam the liquor traffic at every state line." He declared that the govern ment has given the sUtes the ' right to control the shlpmenU of powder Into eir boondarles, and ahould not ihesltate to allow them to eontral the liquor traffic which Is Infinitely more dangerous . tnan .jiowoerv. Vi . Dr. Crafta .reviewed ' the .battles which ha v eett? wien Wfthln th past few year and which -are' conducive to good morals. He recalled the pa' sage of the antl-raoe track gambling bills In all of the states of the union wltlxjthj exception of eight; the pa' aagepf a'ntl-prUe fighting bill In ev ery state with the exception of Ne vada! tKe Sunday observance law In every state except California; the closing of the gate of th James town and St Lout exposition . on Sunday; the stopping of legalised lot tery in New Orleans; th lessening of the opium trade in China and Oth ers. The 'speaker declared that those victories which have been won in the parflead the supporters of the bill now up for paasag to,, believe that when public aentiment realises what the b(ll will mean, the measure will become a law speedily. He de clared that every " person can make the world better by writing a otter and stated that now 1 thetlme to send mall to Washington In the support of thl bill. He discouraged the Idea of waiting for an ogranisa tlon for starting a good movement. IndfvllTuals can, start- good move- menu as well a organisations and no. Individual should hesitate to en dorse this bill because he doe not belong to an association that 1 light ing for Its paasag. - The south is almost solid for th bill, in th opinion of th speaker, and in view of the fact that it Is supported by republican and demo crats, no party fight I anticipated on the bill. If It one get before con gress. The thing needed now Is the ; placing of the bill before the law makers Instead of allowing It to re main In the hands of the Judiciary committee. At the conclusion of the address, a collection was taken, the proceeds of which will be used in the fight for the passage of the bill, which resulted In the collection of quite a large sum for this purpose.
