The plan conflicts with the suggestion of Governor Pleasant that he would call a special ses sion of the Legislature to submit to the people a constitutional amendment for putting of 1 mill tax for the support of several state institutions, provided the people of the state show they are in favor of the tax. The formal name of the farmers association adopted at Friday's session was "Greater Agricultur al College Association." The formal organization had been launched at the mass meeting Thursday night, but no name had been selected. A committee formally called upon Dr. Dodson Friday to ask him to reconsider and withdraw his resignation. Dr. l)odson re plied he would not answer the committee at the present time, but would await developments of the movement to improve condi tions. Buyers From 30 States Bid For Columbia Hogs.

Following the announcement that the Salvation Army was to take over all of the available saloons in the big community centers this explanation is given by Evangeline Booth, command er of the Salvation Army in the Unit- 3 e(l States in the New York Evening Post: We of the Salvation Army believe that the saloon became an institution because it was not wholly bad. It had an appeal to the social instinct. In taking over saloons the Salvation Ar my will sell only non-intoxicating drinks and it will try to give the good features of what we call the saloon and take out of it all that made for the undermining of character. What is a saloon? When we say saloon we employ merely a polite namq to gloss over the business of selling strong drinks. The original saloon was a gathering place for social purposes. It had the nature of the French salon, which was nothing more nor less than a reception room or par lor in which men and women gathered to discuss literature, art, politics, and in fact everything which tended to em bellish civilized life. The serving of refreshments in the salon' of the real type is an incident. It made little dif ference whether they were drinking r champagne, sherbert or tea. When the keeper of a low-grade groggery calls his place of business a saloon, he wrests from its true meaning a d name which should make for good and for the uplifting of the ideals of man kind. Still Hold Old Meaning. n Strange as it may seem, even the cheapest saloofl has in it something of the character of the original salon. Me en foregather there to talk politics, e to discuss sports, to give their opin ions about their favorite baseball players or to play a quiet game of checkers or pinochle. Col William A. McIntyre has made a careful study of the class whom the world calls the "Down and Outs." He has come in contact with all kinds of the victims of drink. In so doing he has learned to know the habitues of the American drinking places which we have camne to dignify by the name saloon. The saloon of tomorrow is intended mostly for men who are unattached. It woud not so seek to cater to mar ried men who have homes of their own. It does aim, however, to reach n bachelors, especially those who are likely to be lonely in our great cities and who have a natural liking for the society of men of their own class or walk in life. Merely a Salvage Move. Since our announcement with re gard to the taking over of saloons we have received many inquiries as to how we would carry out this project on a large scale. $t is not o"r inetn tion to make extensive investments or to r;: any large amount of capital for g. this purpose, but where there are leas es which may run for a year or so and f where fixtures are available it will be practical to carry out our plans with out any large expenditures. TC The saloon as planned by the Sal vation Army would become essential S ly a poor man's club, where non-intox )f icating liquors and wholesome food would be served. SA Soft Drink Club. 10 The soft-drink club, if I may use that expression, would have an entirely different moral effect, not only upon the individual but upon the family than does the hard-drink saloon. This at statement is not based upon a mere theory, but upon actual experiments which have been conducted by the l Salvation Army. We have, for instance, in West For ty-seventh street a hotel in which od there was a typical bar-room. We took away all the intoxicants but let YS the fixtures remain exactly as they ur were and retained the barkeeper. The brass rail on which so many men to seem to like to rest their feet is still he there. The customers of the place can still put their elbows on the shin.' S, ing bar-rail of mahogany directly level Swith the counter. They can foregath er there as of old, where they can lean in attitudes of ease and hive their drinks served to them much in g the same manner as they did when the rum -bottle was shoved around the shining wood.
