A mi" i.-a ii president of tin recently form -'l world league for tlir banishment of alcoholism, ami who is tin- foiin.li.r of tin' anti saloon league as well a- its first president. Dr. Snleeby an. I Mr. linssi'll spoke briefly in tin- interest of tin' cause. The mcvting was opened by Kev. Dr. J. II. Hcnderlite. past or nf tin- First Presbyterian church, at t o'clock. Kev. F)r. .1. '. Calloway, pastor of tin' Associ ate I'eformcd Ci esbyteriati church, pray ed. Dr. Henderlite presented Mr. Bryan, who then introduced l'r. Sali'i'liy as Hug hn.l n eminent sriiTitist ami noted an thority on tin- snli.ji'ct of eugenics. Dr. Saleeby declared that hi' hail come to America to ascertain it' proh iliit ion really prohibited or if it was as Kng landers asserted that it li. nut. Hi' was convinced with what he ha. I seen in the I'nited States an. I would soon ri'tnrn home prepared to deny tin- charge that prohibition in this country was known in nam only. Hi' classed alcohol as tin' worst of racial poisons, attributing ninth of the vrni'ral diseases to its use. He lira. I for America to turn tin' tide in tin' fight against liquor as ha. I been .l.mr by this rouatry in the F.uropean conflict. Ir. Russell was then presented by Mr. Hryan ami spoke of the accomplishments of the Anti Saloon Lean"'' in America. He made a plea for recruits In order to further the cause. Hulisiriptinn lanls wrre ilistrilinte.l anil a laie numlier a grwil to rontrihute stipulated aininints. on a monthly Imsis, for a perioil of five year. Mr. Hryan "s speerh a. an unanswera ble argument for the cause of prohibi tion. He saw nothing alarming in the "No lner. no work," sloian a.lopte.l by t'me of the laboring men. anil ileclareil thjit "A man, who, having spent more for iH'er for himself than he has for bread for his family, puts on a button ami (joes out declaring he will not work for his own wife and child if he can't get beer, would not have much influence even in his own city ward because such men are not moulders of public opinion." Answering the argument so often ad vanced that the American soldiers are coming back home from France to repeal tlie prohibition laws, Mr. Hryan declared that the Congress which enacted the pro hibition amendment, putting it into the feileral constitution, was elected in 1916, thei soldiers voted for tlus Congress them Kelves and to him it seemed ridiculous to nay that they were coming home to undo what their chosen representatives had done. He was not worried about the re turning soldiers, who, he declared would rnntinue to uphold the constitution which they had sworn to abide by. No reference was made by Mr. Bryan to his much mooted drink, grape juice, hot he presented plenty of argument a gainst poisoning the human system with; Demon Rum. He declared that it not on ly shortened a man's life but scientific iiiTestigation had shown that alcoholic ooison is transmitted to future genera tions. As to the argument of moderate drinking so often advanced he declared that man was never able to learn "when he had had enough," and that hundreds had died of delirium tremens looking for that indistinguishable line between mod eration and excess. To those who wondered why the Anti Saloon League would spend speakers into bone-dry Gaston county to talk about banishing booze, which has already been annihilated. Mr. Bryan had the explana tion that in this movement as in every reform movement, the good people, mean ing in this instance the prohibitionists, had to be relied on in order to carry on the, work amongst those who were not so good. Woman suffrage was given a boost, Mr. Bryan declaring that the women ev ery whjre would soon le given the vote, and that the liquor interests could obtain no pleasure out of the fact for the wo men had been rroru't'on'SlS a11 tne News nr.; I 'AIMS.
