GERMAN BODIES TO
FIGHT EXCISE LAW
Enlisting the Support Of Other
Clubs in Opposition to the
Jones.Works Act.

Washington's German organizations
have taken a determined stand against
the enforcement of the Jones-Works ex-
else law. which becomes effective July 1.
These societies today are enlisting the
support Of other clubs throughout the
city to fight the new legislation. The
campaign against the law was planned
at a meeting at the home Of the Arion
Gesangverein last night
A committee composed Of John Web
ber and August Schmidt, representing
the Arion Gesangverein. and John
waldmann and George Beckey. repre-
senting the Washington Saengerbund,
OF other clubs against the Jones' Works
law.
Injustice, Says Schmidt.
We are going to fight this law to the
last ditch,'' said August Schmidt. presi-
dent Of the Arion Society. There Is a
grave injustice written within the new
excise Law, and while I am in favor Of
churches and church-going people. being
one myself. still do not believe in re-
iigious fanatics trying to regulate the
lives and customs OF men with different
natures.
I'VE do not look upon our club as a
rendezvous for drurkards. We do not
consider II place for midnight de-
bauchcry. Neither do We look upon II
as the acme OF perfection. but We do see
In such organizations places of refined
environment; places where work-a-day
people may gather in congenial atmos-
phere. One of the few DAYS that folk
OF this sort NAV do this II on Sunday.
Clubs Educational Institutions.
Take away our Sunday and you
leave us practically without 4 day for
uplift and education. We Germans look
upon our clubs as educational institu-
tions. We bring our wives and families
to our clubs. We teach our children
music at the clubs, and the atmosphere
OF companionship is something that
makes for better citizens"
Mr.. Schmidt said that he was in favor
of closing all places of business on Sun
days There Is really only one place
that ought to be open while the church
is in session. said Mr.. Schmidt. ''and
that is the pharmacy. / think that the
druggists should keep open on Sunday
mornings, because human nature Is SO
frail that medical attention is ofttimes
needed. 1t would be a good thing to
close all places while divine services are
being conducted. but in the afternoons
and nights Of the Sabbath, I think that
a man should be allowed the privilege Of
attending his club"

ED CONDRAY FOR REPRESEN
TATIVE.

The Log Cabin Democrat today an
nounces the candidacy of c. E. Con-
dray of Cadron township for the Of
fee of representative of Faulkner
county, subject to the action of the
Democratic primary election. Mr..
Condray is a native Faulkner county
young man. Eight years ago, when
he had barely attained his majority
and was just out of college, he made
race for this position and came
within a very few votes of winning
the Democratic nomination. Mr.. Con-
dray does not promise to do anything
if elected except to devote his entire
time to an earnest effort to serve the
people, but says there is one evil
which he expects, if elected, to use
his best efforts to stop-that of local
legislation. He believes the county
qourum courts should be empowered
! to enact such local legislation as
counties need, and will favor the pas
sage of an act to this effect. He is
a progressive young attorney and
would make good representative.
