two lawyers and that the applicant for
a transfer of license signed contract to
pay an additional fee of $1,000 IL the
transfer was obtained The application
was passed on favorably by the excise

TALKS ON NEW SPIRITUALITY.
Irving S. Cooper Lectures Before
Theosophical Federation

Declaring that less attention is now
PAID to religious observance in the
United States and that more attention
Is now paid to practical helpfulness in
stead. Irving S. Cooper yesterday lee
tured on The New Spirituality be-
fore the Washington Theosophical
Federation. He said in part:
In the past we have been taught
to place the spiritual in a little COM
partment by itself, away from the prac-
teal and the real
THE new spirituality. however, goes
deeper. 1t teaches that there is some
thing far better and more profound
than ceremonial observance-forget-
fulness of self. an honest effort to
help our brothers in life's battles; a
real desire to become channels through
which the divine law, which is the
law of love, can be expressed.
The spiritual man judges of life's
value by the opportunities it offers for
service the worldly man by what he
can get out of it for himself

avoid the pitfalls of cold materialism,
Worldliness and cynicism.
MANY men betray their trust; many
husbands and wives, whose former
lives have been exemplary, go wrong at

REPORTS THE PROGRESS
OF PROHIBITION CAUSE
Anti-Saloon League Hopeful of Re-
suits at Polls Tomorrow on
Issue Su omitted.

From the Anti-Saloon League of
America was issued a statement today
regarding the progress of the prohibit
ton movement throughout the country,
particularly with reference to the cleo
tions tomorrow, when statewide pro-
hibition will be voted upon in Arizona.
California. Colorado, Ohio. Oregon and
Washington The statement is, III part.
as follows:
THE elections to be held throughout
the country tomorrow will, as lar as
large number of states are concerned,
emphasize the growth of prohibition
sentiment In a number of states pro-
hibition may properly be termed the
dominant issue, because it is aligned
with the interests of no one party.
Especially in states such as Ohio, llll-
nois, Minnesota and Washington is the
teuperance question to the forefront,
while in practically every state it is
figuring to a considerable extent.
Work Before Congress.
with the converting of Congress in
December the Hobson- shepherd pro-
hibition resolution will be 1orceu 10
the front, and from that time on the
advocates of national constitutional
prohibition will be active in militant
manner to the end that Congress may
adopt the resolution and put the pro-
hibition question up to the various
states.
1.-THE statewide campaigns recently
held in Massachusetts, and Illinois were
revelations as far as popular interest
in the prohibition question is concern,
ed. The election in Virginia surprised
none more than it did the advocates OF
the wet interests
"The nationwide campaign on which
the Anti-Saloon League of America is
now entering, to the end that national
constitutional prohibition may prevail,
will be in nowise affected by results
shown in the elections to be heio To-
morrow"
