what was in the wind were made by Mr..
Jerome and others in order to keep the

this direction was to announce yesterday
that he and his associates were completely

effort was even made to send newspaper

Plan of Action Changed.

The application for a writ was signed
this morning by Justice Hutchinson and
made returnable next Tuesday. II was
not in the original plan TO bring Boudreau
irto the application. The plan under con-
sideration until last night was 10 apply
for the writ in the name of a Canadian
citizen on the ground that Thaw's Illegal
detention was contrary to the public in
terest. but this morning the plan adopted
was decided upon as making a stronger
case.

was Mr.. Jerome's comment on the new
situation. IT am sure Superior Judge
Hutchinson will grant the application on
the broad principle OF justice IL for no
other reason"
Judge Hutchinson granted the writ on
the application OF Samuel Jacobs. chief
counsel for the New York State interests.
Thaw was ignorant of to-day's develop
ments. His lawyers even did not learn
of II until a report OF the contemplated
move, sent out last night was telegraphed
back from Montreal.

saloon and of the other evils that go
with the saloon He knows that IN
the great army of Endeavorers and in
the Sunday school from which these
Endeavorers come, lies the hope Of
the nation.
The general idea of this new super
intendent is expressed very we'll in a
letter which he wrote to General Sec
retary Shaw, of the national organi-
zation of Endeavorers. In that letter
he says:
II believe the time is ripe for the
uniting of all the temperance forces
in a great scientific educational pro-
gram. This is not to interfere in any
way with the distinctive and partisan
or denominational work of any church
or organization.
"I am convinced that Christian En-
deavor, by issuing call to the lead
ers of the various temperance organi-
cations to get together, compile and
recommend uniform and effective
literature, and at the same time to
make and present plans for the carry
ing on of a nationwide propaganda,
will render the country and the King
dom far-reaching service.
"Such department would give head
and form to the many citizenship
plans and efforts that are constantly
drawing out the endeavors of our So
ciety and unions.
"It would do for Our young people
just what the college movement has
done for college students, give them
realization of personal responsibility
for knowing the enemy, for having an
intelligent grasp of the whole situa-
ton, and for making their lives count,
in the way and method and place of
their own conscientious choosing for
the destruction of the liquor traffic.
Strategic Victory Won.

governor on the Prohibitionist ticket,
and who recently accepted the posi-
tion of national Christian Endeavor
superintendent of temperance and cit
izenship, will be one of the principal
speakers at the biennial convention
of the Anti-Saloon League of Amer
ica, to be held in this city November
1913. Rev. Mr.. Polings acceptance
of place on the program is assurance
to the thousands who expect to be
present that they will hear a great
address,
Daniel A. Polling was one of five
Christian Endeavorers who last fall
ran for governor in their respective
states. A strict party man he is, nev-
ertheless so broad and generous, and
has such a large vision that he re-
ce1ved a record vote as a third party
candidate. For several years he has
been secretary of the Ohio Christian
Endeavor Union, and when, recently,
several gentlemen of means provided
for three years the salary and ex-
penses of a temperance and citizen
ship superintendent, the trustees of
the national organization saw but one
man for the place-the Ohio secretary.
Accepting the proffer, Rev. Mr. Pol
ing sent the trustees this characteristic
telegram, and in it every Christian
Endeavorer will read that part of the
Endeavor pledge which makes it vital
and helpful:
Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ
for strength I accept the high COM
mission.-Daniel A. Polling"
The Christian Endeavor Society is
one of the pioneer organizations with
in the church in recognizing the worth
of Christian citizenship, and in every
local organization there is a commit
tee on these important and twin sub
jects. With Daniel A. Polling in the
national perintendency and giving
his time and great ability to the work,
the subject of citizenship will be
greatly developed and made of vastly
more Importance in the program of
every Endeavor society.
Great Goal is National Dryness.
Poling's great goal is the utter
abolition of the liquor business. He
believes in anything and everything
that will hasten the day of the down.
fall of the saloon, the brewery, the
distillery and the blind tiger. In this
great expectancy he has not lost sight
of the Importance of training up voters
and of educating the public. Most of
the male members, and in states where
women vote, the female members of

done more to make the liquor traffic
recognized national issue than any
thing else that has occurred in years.
The men who lined up for the bill
fixed themselves forever with Mr..
Booze. 1t matters not what the su-
preme court does, a strategic victory
has been won. This is a ripe time
for us to act.
"The political phase of this thing S
matter we shall do we'll to leave with
the man who does the thinking. Mr..
Hobson has expressed appreciation of
plan some of us have considered-a
modification of the party pledge-by
which all temperance organizations
unite in great campaign to pledge
voters to support only those candi-
dates for President and for all minor
offices that stand upon platforms de-
claring against the liquor traffic. This,
if feasible, would be an outgrowth of
the nationwide inspirational and
educational movement.
"a chain of mighty conventions, fol-
lowing the Laymen's Missionary
Movement idea, might be held, with
their radiations into as nearly as posi-
BILE every hamlet of the nation. Men
like Hobson, Stubs, Lindsey, Hanly,
and the leaders of all temperance or
CARNATIONS would give these conven-
tions compelling power and lasting
influence.

Poling's Slogan.

The one phrase that expresses my
vision just now more nearly than any
other is this: A NATIONWIDE
UNIFORM PROGRAM. Christian
Endeavor has given the slogan. I
covet for Christian Endeavor the
high distinction of giving the victory
making plan"
Ohio Christian Endeavorers, who
are called on to make a great sacrifice
in letting Mr.. Polling go, are to be
congratulated upon the fact that when
there came call for man to fill one
OF the most important places in the
national field, Mr.. Polling was chosen.
1t is an honor to the Buckeye En-
deavorers.
Daniel A. Polling is known by wide
awake Endeavorers all over the ma
ton. He is recognized as the vigorous.
resourcetul, consecrated secretary of
the work in this great state. Endeav-
orers here and elsewhere have known
him as a genuine orator, man of
brains, fire and power. Best of all,
they have known him as sincere
Christian, brother to all men, sympa-
thetic, cordial, tactful, absolutely
manly.
