C. Bane introduced a new note into the saloon discussion last night. He advocated that the temperance people of Santa Cruz set to work at once to provide "social substitutes" for the saloon, and following his quotation from Dr. Smith Williams' article on the subject in the current McClure's, Rev. Bane said: "We must face the problem of social substitutes and the good people of this city must provide them.

We ought to do it before the saloon goes and we ought to do it certainly, after they've gone."

Sewall was excused. the guests were the governors of Delaware and Virginia, several members of congress, naval officials from Washington and officers from the Norfolk and League Island navy yards. The Delaware is nearer completed than has been any warship of the United States navy at the the time of launching. She is a sister ship of the North Dakota, launched recently at Qulncy, Mass.

These two battleships will be the first of the "Dreadnaught" type to be added to the United States navy. When, In 1906, the British government launched a battleship called the Dreadnought, every other government observed the, vessel with the closest scrutiny. She marked a new era in naval equipment. She was so large and powerful It was estimated NEWPORT NEWS, Feb. 6.

In the presence of an immense crowd of enthusiastic spectators, the giant 20,000 ton battleship Delaware, which will take rank among the most formidable machines afloat, was successfully launched today from the yards of the Newport News Shipbuilding Dry Dock company. Shortly before the hour set for the launching, while the wedges were being driven in to lift the weight from the ground to the greased ways, the naming party made its way through the crowd and ascended the launching stand. The sponsor, Miss Anna P. Cahall, of Ilrldgevllle, received an ovation, as did also Governor Simeon S. rennewill and Secretary of the Navy Newberry.

All being ready, the signal was given- for launching. As the great hulk swept down the ways to meet the rippling water of the James river, Miss she could out fight any other two battleships afloat.

Immediately other governments sought to produce vessels larger and more powerful than the Dreadnought. In the naval bureaus of every maritime power there was feverish activity, in the United States no loss than elsewhere.

He dwelt at length on the evil influence of the saloon in politics and congratulated the great commercial Interests of the country on their discouragement of the drinking habit among their employes. He declared that when the people voted solidly on the side of morality, the moral forces of the community would be feared and respected by the politicians and the business men just as the saloon forces are now. He closed by calling on the voters to legislate not only for their business men and real estate owners, but for the women and children, who have no votes. Rev.

C. Bane, former pastor of the Howard street Methodist church in San Francisco, and now district superintendent of the Anti-saloon league, spoke to a crowded auditorium in the Congregational church last night on the saloon question. Mr. Bane urged the people of Santa Cruz to consider the economic side of the question now at issue, and supplemented his arguments with strong appeals to sentiment, also quoting Judge Arttian, the U. S.

supreme court, Governor Hanley of Indiana and numerous other authorities on the legal right of communities to restrict or abolish the saloon. He cited San Francisco after the earthquake as a good example of the results of a dry town, and quoted figures from Birmingham, and Atlanta, Ga to show that arrests for drunkenness and all other crimes had largely decreased during the past year. He also cited savings banks deposits to show the greater wealth per capita of Kansas and Maine, prohibition states, over Illinois and Ohio, license states. necessary Improvements demands that every dollar must be wisely and justly obtained from the people and thereafter honestly and economically expended, endeavoring at the same time to avoid impoverishing the the booming of guns and the screetch-ing whistles from the swarms of small craft assembled in the river.

"We're going to sow the town with literature," "said Mr. Lawson. "We're all together, but the other side doesn't know what it wants. What we want Is a dry town and we're going after It." "I'ersonally, I believe the most important question Is water. All the citizens, especially the poorer class, should have water sufficient to Irrigate gardens.
