ARE SOCIAL CLUBS Rev. G. B .Work Says Saloons Are Losing Their Viciousness . AND DYING OUT Former Decatur Pastor Visits Saloons and Tells Result of Investigation. Wabash, Ind., Dec. 3.—Are the saloons of Indiana losing their viciousness? The Rev. G. B. Work, pastor of the Wabash street Methodist church believes so and proclaimed from the pulpit that the saloon has become a kind of a social club. This, he believes. is proof that the saloon is gradually passing out of existence, not only by being ejected from certain territory, but also in being in itself reformed. After a personal visit to every saloon in Wabash for the purpose of studying them as they were, Dr. Wor'.-' announced from his pulpit that he found that of the 350 men in saloons a the time he made the visit, not over 10 per cent were over 30 years of age. He stated hat not over 5 per cent were actually at the bar drinking when he made his tour. “I find," he asserted, ‘‘that where billiard and pool tables are there the saloons are the most frequented. The saloon has become a sort of social club for a certain kind of men. Men go there to be amused, and while being amused they drink. The saloons of Wabash are obsreving the laws and the police are enforcing these law.”, Dr. Work says that the saloons have been forced from two-thirds of the territory of Indiana and that in the other third they are being reformed and in time will lose heir viciousness, then their life will be short. He believes that the biggest proof of temperance's power is proved in the fact that the saloon has ceased to be the place for carousals it once was. Dr. Work is the first minister of Wabash to state from the pulpit that he saloons are obeying the laws and that the police are enforcing the laws, and his sermon following a personal visit created a sensation. His theory that the saloon is being reformed, then eliminated, is a novel one, which he claims is proved by the attitude of Indiana brewers. Watch Sale until Jan. 1, 1908 at Lehne’s Jewelry Store.
