Drinking Champagne 8pecul to The Washington FoeU Chicago Oct 7 The glass of champagne that President Roosevelt sipped then gulped at the luncheon in bis honor at St Louis last week has taken Itsplace in pulpit discussions with the now cele brated cocktail placed before him at In oianapous by vice President Fairbanks In at leastone Chicago pulpit yesterday the President waa condemned for that small glass of effervescent cheer The speaker going tar afield for similes to express his abhorrence compared the strenuous Chief Magistrate to a lion timer who had been defeated by a skunk This speaker was the Rev Mi Lloume Boynton He announced as his subject The Lion Tamer and In his Introduction he paid a high tribute to President Roosevelt courage In his efforts to tame the trusts In New York rather ttan kill them Then he added that the President to day was face to face with the most gigantic evil of our time The liquor traffic he said constitutes an evil as gigantic and as diabolical as the curse Of slavery When our President was face to face with this monstrous evil on his recent visit to St Louis he had a magnificent opportunity to rebuke the growing menace to society but instead he Is reported to have sipped then gulped down a glass of champagne Is it possible that our lion tamer has gone down to defeat before this American skunk Let President Roosevelt know that if he has done so he cannot escape the penalty It Is hoped by moral and religious people If the report Is true that the President will make an apology to outraged public sentiment VETERANS WILL SPLIT GIRL STUDENT
