while we lost the first days battle over
that proposition We were up early the
next morning and resumed the fighting.
THE Webb law, the most important of
our national victories, makes ii unlaw-
full for railroads and express companies
to carry liquor into prohibition States.
If liquor is taken into such States 1t can
be seized on station platforms or in
wagons hauling it through the streets.
The law, let me add, is working splend-
idly.
After going through Congress. and
easily, the Webb bill went to President
Taft for signature. 1t was vetoed anG
sent back. The veto gave US no concern
whatever. Congress Immediately passed
the bill over the Presidents head-2A 10
s5 votes in the House and 63 to p votes
in the Senate. Such was the strength
Of the measure in Congress.

in the country were among the lobbyists.
THE greatest OF all our battles, how
ever, is before us. We have the men TO
fight II and We are now engaged in
filling our war chest. Moreover, we have
the facts. No particular appeal will be
made to the drunkard to forsake his
ways and few word pictures will be

children and his broken-hearted wife.

Says II Is Bad for Labor.
THE liquor people complain" I said,
that you are trying to destroy immense
property interests?''
They are right. Much property will be
put out of the business for which II was
intended. 1t can be used in part, at
least, for other purposes. We claim that
the manufacture of liquor is a destruc-
tive and not a constructive industry. The

ing people directly engaged in making
the liquor he drinks ! have the figures
in detail to prove my statement. The
liquor business, as a manufacturing en-
terprise, is the very worst business in
the country for labor.
THE man who spends 800 for shoes,
furniture. or clothing, on the other hand,
contributed from so TO $50 to the work
ing people who make the shoes, clothing,
or furniture he purchases. Aside from
its effects on those who drink, moderately
or to excess, the liquor industry is an
economic absurdity. If all branches of
business gave labor only L6 per cent Of
the retail price OF the product manufac-
tured, the United States would soon go
into bankruptcy"

League take when an enemy of temper

Of the wealthiest men in the government

while practicing law in New York.
He is an expert on patent laws of the

Interview of Ewing.
Discussing his hopes and aims. Com
missioner Ewing recently said:
"I have been familiar with the Patent
Office ever since the period OF my former
service, and know that il is funda-
mentally sound in Its organization and
methods. The examining corps is made
up only of men who have passed very
strict civil service examination, and most
OF them have a very high degree OF tech
nical education. as well as practical ex-
perience in many instances.
But the work of the office since I
left the service has enormously increased.
both in the number OF patents granted
and in the field OF search required. For
example, the number Of United States
patents which must be searched before
new patents are granted has grown by
about 10000. and the foreign patents
have increased proportionately.
Under this enormous burden, the diff
culties in the way OF proper service to
the public have become so great that
nothing but the most strenuous effort on
the part of the entire force can cope with
them.
Therefore. I shall devote my efforts
to simplifying the methods Of proce-
dure and to unifying the practices in the
ffty-three different divisions Of the Of
flee: to improving the personnel and the
esprit de corps necessary to the develop
ment of genuine pride in the work which
the ONCE is doing, and 10 increasing the
facilities for attorneys who use the IL
brary and classified patents of the ONCE
in making examinations for clients"
Mr.. Ewing also hopes to leave a new
fireproof patent ONCE building as q
legacy to his successor.

Now and then. yes. But you must not
overlook the thousands OF dry places
which refuse again to be wet. Good
people work at their own business and
trades. They drive the saloons out and
then fail to remember that eternal vigil
lance is the price of keeping them out.
They get busy about their own AFFAIRS

a march on them. 1t was so in Spring

It is illustrative Of certain important
facts Of a general nature-ehanged their
minds.
Business was better without the sa-
looms than with them. More money
was spent for clothing, food and furni-
ture. Not only was that so but many
men got a new moral slant into their
characters and actually paid their debts
which had long since become barred by
the statute OF limitation.
But Springfield in the face of such
events went back. The good people, you
see, thought their victory won for all
time to come. Then the liquor men
colonized the town. They brought In
1000 voters from other places. And the
saloon was reopened. When a dry place
goes wet there is usually a reason which
reflects not on the mental rectitude OF
the inhabitants but on their watchful-
ness and acumen."

The Anti-Saloon League of America has
been victorious invariably.
AFTER my arrival in Washington
fourteen years ago, We began the agita-
ton and work which eliminated ulti-
mately in shutting up the canteen at
every military post in the country. No
matter what is said about the canteens.
they were a disgrace to the United States
and a demoralizing influence on the
army. Officers who served when can
teens were in existence and since can
teens were abolished say that conditions
are very much better at military posts
than was the case formerly.
A Warming to the Army.
$50 far we have kept the canteen
closed. Liquor manufacturers and some
officers want the canteen restored. The
question, l suppose will come before
the present Congress. We welcome a
further discussion of the subject When
il is up again, we shall work to have
Congress pass a law compelling all in
coming officers OF the army and navy to
sign a total abstinence pledge. And. let
me assure you, such a law can be
passed.
"Oficers who drink have no right to be
in command of troops, either in camp or
battle. The captain of a warship is the
custodian Of @si0eCO, 900 worth of public
property and the lives of 1000 sailors. He

well, we smashed the canteen, as I
have said. That was our first national
fight. though there had been plenty of
fighting inside the States themselves.
Skirmishes, some of them hot and pro-
tracted, followed. Our men threw their
shoulders back and their chins out, and
confidence filled their hearts. We pushed
our lines forward, inch by inch. Nor did
we lose any Of the ground we gained.

on simple living and excessive cigarette

to have lost his nerve. Hilton steadily

that Harris must begin winning holes Inn

Every one wanted to see Travis and

of the Tuxedo colony. Travers made
an unfortunate start. which was not

Travers squared the match with 4
