Bryan and Winston Churchill. Tt is esti- mated that Dedication day will find 450,000 persous within the World’s Fair gates. Preparations for handling the crowds have been completed. The real beginning of dedication week was inaugurated this afternoon when the United States Monitor Arkansas, which has been plowing against the Mississippi for many days from the gulf, arrived in St. Loufs harbor. Thousands of people ST. velt, ‘gathered along the river to welcome the arrival of the warship.

Mr. | Adams said he loved this State and this | city and that he wished to do injustice (o | neither, but he felt a critical time was at | hand and it was his duty to sound a warning note. “I am not a sensational minister,” he continued. “I did not know that my re- marks before the Temperance Union would gain such publicity. But they were | thoughts that came to me and 1 felt it my duty to give them voice. Besides, it was no more than I had toid my own con- | gregation on other occasions. | " “I think the drinking by society women | at functions in the eyes of women in humbler walks lends an appearance of respectability to the habit, and therefore | the society women are to blame. You | clety. have no idea to what extent intoxicants | ability figure on the tables of households. The use of wine at Inaugural bails at the Cap- itol is wrong. Beneath one of the lead- ing ballrooms of the city is a drinking place, and it is an easy step from the one to the other. “I have been told by a parent that a | young girl cannot get her diploma at our High School unless she attends the social | dances of the fraternities. I do not say intoxicants are served there, but where drinking is encouraged in our homes, and any society women indulge in it at their gatherings, the tendency toward it by the young folks is natural. PERILS IN PROSPECT. “It is all wrong. I do not advance a solution of the difficulty. What I have said has been in the nature of a prophecy. Ten vears from now, if present condi- tions continue, it will be the intemperance of wives and daughters that will demand attention, not the intemperance of fathers and sons. For the times demand—and the demand in the future will be greater than now—sober men. Men cannot remain in their positions unless they are \mperate. But the same restraint does not exist in the case of women. I have left the mat- ter for the Temperance Union to consider and deal with.” The remarks of the Rev. Mr. Adams before the Women's Christian Temper- ance Union have occasioned whlespread comment because of his pesition among the local clergy. Although he has been pastor of Calvary Baptist Church for several years, and has been the presiding officer of the Ministerial Unlon, few out- side of his congregation have had oc- ! casion to discuss him for the reason that he has never announced sensational topics for sermons and has lived in com- parative retirement.
