College Students and Liquor

Edmund J. James, president of the University of
Illinois, is authority for the declaration that many of
the failures of college students due to liquor and
tobacco Especially is this true in first two years of
college, Recently, in talking to class of freshmen
President James said the only safe rule that of
total abstinence Of older students, who by example
persuasion encourage their younger fellows in bad
habits the president said:
The habit of treating and urging fellow students to learn
smoke and drink the ground that it belongs to good
student society," is unworthy of the American college
student and should be consigned to the limbo of childish
tricks, be suffered, if ALL only in high schools and
academies
There is, then, tremendous responsibility resting
members of faculties older students and college
authorities generally to guard the footsteps of the
younger men. Further, there is duty which belongs
to the people of the states in which institutions of
learning situated, that of voting out and keeping
those places which debauch and destroy the young
men who seek education

Christian Citizenship

Whatever man is, that he is in entirety. There
is no warrant for separating mans life into depart
ments, such as his religious life, his family life his
business life and his political life Either he is good
man. an upright man, all the way through, or he is the
opposite It is uncomfortable for instance that man
can be the right of individual in religious mat
tiers and wrong in politics. 1t is impossible that man

Aid in Passing Kenyon Bill

Now that the judiciary committee of the United
States has favoraby reported the Kenyon bill
for the regulation of interstate shipment of liquors
from wet into dry territory the temperance forces of
the country should bring every legitimate pressure to
bear secure the enactment of the into law
when congress convenes in December.
Not only has the bill been favoraby reported, but
through the efforts of Senator Kenyon it has been
made a. special order in the senate for December 10.
If does reach vote that day will up each
succeeding Legislative day unfinished business until
it finally is disposed of. A similar is in the
house judiciary committee and will probably be
ported out soon after congress convenes.
For number of years strenuous efforts have been
made to get congress to act but the bill has always
been smothered in committee Now for the first time,
it has been favoraby reported and the date fixed for
its discussion This is such advancement as to be
encouraging and should be incentive for every
possible to be employed to its enactment
The debate on the bill will probably require sew
eral days. The liquor interests of the country will bend
all their energies compass its defeat 1t is known
that of the greatest lawyers in the country
preparing briefs in opposition to the bill Some OF the
most prominent senators will argue against it. Money
will not be spared by brewers and liquor dealers in
engaging the best talent work and speak against the
bill 1t will be attacked from all sides and its defeat
urged for all kinds of reasons.
The justice of the measure not be questioned.
Safes, counties and municipalities have said by the
majority of their voters that they opposed to the
sale of intoxicants and have rendered their verdlcts
prohibiting such Sales and yet by the sanction of the
United States government these decisions have been
negatived and outside brewers and liquor dealers
permitted nullify these local laws. If the Kenyon
bill is enacted it will be of tremendous aid in the
forcement of these local and the people
have what they voted for and what they have right
to expect.
Every citizen of every state who believes this just
should pass congress should write his United
States senator and urge him to support the Kenyon
bill. Any plans which may occur to these citizens
which will aid in pushing the bill through congress
should be sent to Edwin C. Dinwiddie, Legislative
Superintendent, 81 Bliss Bldg, Washington, D. {.

Business Before School Meeting.

The annual school meeting Saturday
afternoon was called to order at o clock
by Miss A. NJ. Burrows, moderator. AS
Miss Barrows declined to serve again
as moderator, o. C. Robertson was elect
ed to that position. Clarence d. Fay was
elected clerk and c. T.. Keyou treas
urer.
Under article 4, to choose member of
the board of education, the motion was
made that the clerk cast one ballot for
Walter E. Fay. The vote was carried.
DR.. Fay has served in this capacity %
years and his faithful service warrants
this reelection.
The district voted to raise $4,000 in
addition to the amount required by law
for the support of schools. 5000 was
raised for text books, $425 for the teach
ing of music and drawing and $205 for
salaries of the board of education, truant
and other officers.
The matter of transportation of pupils
in localities where there is no town
school within a mile and a half was
brought up. 1t was stated that where
there was school in an adjoining town
within a mile and a half of the homes
of pupils of school age the town could.
should it's board of education deem such
course advisable, pay these pupils tut
ton to said school rather than pay
transportation charges to the village.
Such condition exists in the south part
of the town In discussing the subject
1t was stated that parents would have
the privilege of transporting their chill
dren to the village at their own expense
If they prefer to do so.
