BREWERS SCHEME 70 STOP
WAVE OF PROHIBITION
Meet in Milwaukee and Decide to
Work For "Ciean Saloons"
WILL KEEP OUT or POLITICS

Prohibitionists Send Sarcastic Mes.

DIR. Darlington Says Alcohol
Causes Heart Disease.
Milwaukee, wish view of the
recent activities of the Prohibitions
lists, the recent outlawing of the
traffic In spurious liquors in several
southern States, and the serious in
jury to 1t in nearly every quarter of
the country, the convention of the
United States Brewers Association,
which met here; is regarded as the
most important ever held by the orr
ganization. The brewers; in execu-
tive session, formulated plans to meet
and stem the tidal wave of prohibit
tlon: The attack on the anti-saloon
forces will be in the main educa-
tional; but will also include efforts
at regulation of the saloons by stat
ute; with the idea of taking them out
OF politics, thereby ~elevating them so
that the liquor traffic will be recog-
nized as a legitimate, respectable
business, and not as something out
! OF social and ethical recognition.
The keynote of the movement.
characterized as one to overset intol-
erance and bigotry and to correct
Misrepresentation. was embodied in the
address made by Julius Lehman.
president of the association. The
situation was also set forth in a re-
port of the Board of Trustees of the
association.
Mr.. Liebmann said: at is of the
utmost Importance that the saloon
Keeper should respect the laws. but
the constant Injustice melted out to
MIN under the guise Of laws is a
force which tends to undermine this
respect.
THE problem of the saloon is one
OF regulation by statutory authority:
OF administration by the trade. From
either standpoint it is a complex
problem which cannot be settled in
the offhand fashion that seems so
easy to superficial observers.
The regulation of the saloon has
been needlessly complicated by ex-
detrimental legislation, party politics.
police corruption and ineficiency.
Fixed and arbitrary limitations i'm
posed on communities by the State
without regard to local conditions,
have only increased the difficulty.
I keep the saloon out of politics
1T must first be taken out of politics;
and the best way to keep it in poll
tics is to provide by local option laws
for the constant agitation of the IL
cense question, with the element OF
harassing uncertainty which this in
wolves. In recent years the saloon.
has been growing to be less and less
a political factor. To-day it threat-
ems to become the biggest reiEical
issue in u history"

The surviving seamen, all of whom
suffered some injuries, acted with the
greatest heroism in aiding their I'M
fortunate mates.
Rear-Admiral Sebree himself es-
capped death or serious injury in the
fated. fire pit by a narrow margin.
He had left the room where the ex-
plosfon occurred not fifty seconds be-
fore the fatal blast.
The force of the explosion was ter
rible, and many Of the injured are
fatally hurt, it is believed. Wireless
orders were flashed to DR.. W. A. Wei
don, local marine surgeon at San
Pedro, directing him to prepare for
the caring of the injured sailors. Ac-
cording to wireless dispatches, no
officers were injured. The damage to
the ship is not known at this time,
but it is likely that the boiler rooms
have suffered seriously.
Several of the other cruisers of the
feet arrived at Long Beach, Redondo
and other ports ahead of the Tennes-
see, and it was evident that the ship
had been considerably disabled by the
accident.

flagship, commanding the second di-

Conscience acknowledgements Burea,

If conscience is a safe guide to
what is right and wrong then the
Bible is not needed. There is no
halfway ground here, for a guide
that needs guidance is no guide at
all. And as a matter of fact, con-
science is not a guide, and because
so many souls mistakenly think it is,
confused and wandering errors in the
pathway Of life are constantly made.
Conscience is a monitor. 1t prompts
and prods; it urges do what you
know to be right; do not do what you
know to be wrong" But it does not
instruct us in what is right and what
is wrong; it is not a bureau of in
formation. That instruction we re-
ceive from God in many different
ways, of which the Bible and the
training of parents and teachers are
some. Therefore it will not do to
settle back in the easy assurance that
we have a safe guide in conscience.
We have a tremendous responsibility
to learn, from sources outside of our
selves, what is u duty, and those
sources are always available when we
really seek them.-Sunday-School
Times.

William l.. Chamberlain, professor in
Rutgers College, was elected presi-
dent, and the Rev. DR.. Oltmans, of
Toxic, Japan, a missionary connected
with the North Japan Mission, vice.
president. The statistical report
shows a total of about 700 churches
and a membership of 117,139. The
amount of money raised last year for
UNCONVENTIONAL objects was 1855, 800,
and for congregational purposes and
church expenses $1,53T, 800, an in
crease of $191,7S7 over the previous
year. There has been a gain of six
teen churches and ten Sunday-schoo1s
the past year, an increase of $26, 900
for domestic missions, and $18,235
for foreign missions. The total sum
raised for missions, $197,486. is the
largest in the history of the church.
The Synod adopted the report of the
Committee on Education, which pro-
vides for the raising of $4,000 a year
to employ a secretary to enlarge the
scope of Sunday-school work.

Nature Presses Toward Fruitage.

Ripe fruit, which is the immutable
promise and purpose Of God, is the
end of a patient process. After a long
and trying pause young spring, like
a hope of God, returns; but the end
is not yet. 1t is the season of new
breath, new motion and new birth.
Everything is astir under the new,
universal excitement. The earth, like
a bride, puts on her beautiful attire.
She blooms and sings. But bloom
and songs are not the end. By her
beauty music she announces the ex-
quisite end toward which she is NOV
ing. She will not pause until she has
produced her fruit, lor then until her
fruit is full-orbed and mellow. She
reckons nothing less than ripe fruit
to be her fitting crown. Nothing less
will satisfy God. Thou crownest the
year with Thy goodness .-John Pulls

EARLY Mass Chimes Barred.

Residents of Montclair have made
protest againSt the early ringing of
the. chimes of the new Immaculate
Conception Church, which cost the
congregation several thousand dol
lars. The protest was made to Mayor
Henry V. Crawford, who commune
Gated the complaint to the Rev Will
lam A. Brothers, pastor of the church.
There is no ordinance governing the
case, but Father Brothers announced
that the sounding of the "Angelus,
at 6 O'Clock every morning would be
discontinued and that the bells would
not be rung until Z a. m. The resi-
dents of the town complained to
Mayor Crawford that the ringing of
the bells early in the morning dis
turbed their slumber. The pastor
said he would defer to the wishes of
the people, but sarcastically remarked
that he did not know whether 1t was
the peaceful slumbers or the guilty
consciences of late s~leepers on Sun
day morning that were disturbed by
the peals of the chimes.

"Let the Light Shine In"

Is not God, who made the sun
shine, also willing and able to let His
light and His presence SO shine
through me that l can walk all the
day with God nearer to me than any
thing in nature? Praise God, He can
do it.
Why, then, does He do it so seldom.
and in such feeble measure? There
is but one answer: You do not per-
NIT it. You are so occupied and filled
with other things-religious things,
perhaps-that you do not give God
time to make Himself known, and to
enter and take possession.-Andrew
