Temperance workers in Bowie coun-

of falsehoods and bribes.

A special despatch to the Christian

old Scottish Temperance League, be-
sides uttering strong expressions Of
disapproval of the governments fall
ure to do anything definite. to stop
the waste attributable to the drink
traffic, has insisted that the govern

Georgia.
The new prohibition laws and dry
law enforcement measures went into
effect ON May 1. These laws are the
omnibus or basic prohibition law, WHIP
ing out locker clubs and all other
nlaces where intoxicants are sold, the
Rhti-shipping law, the anti-adyertising
law and the law repeating near-beer

Liquor Traffic In France.
In France the question of the fur
ther suppression of traffic in intoxi-
cants is being taken up with the ut.
most energy The demand has very
strong foundation in popular senti.
ment, as was abundantly evidenced
by a meeting held recently at the Pa
ris labor exchange. A resolution was
unanimously passed demanding that
parliament should suppress the priv
,Ieges of the private manufacture Of
alcohol.

A great Improvement is reported
among the Occur d'Alene Indians
since January 1, when the prohibition
law became effective in the state. Not
an Indian has been in the agency jail
since that date. whereas before, under
the old regime, a special policeman
was detailed SIS jailer, and hardly a
day passed that he did not have from
two to six men locl1ed.up Prior to
the closing of the saloons in Tekoa
the agency farmer could with Difficult
~ get a hearing among the younger
Indians. although he was backed by
the chief and prominent members Of
the tribe. Since the dry law went into
effect he has organized one farmers
club and resuscitated the one he had,
which was scarcely more than club
on paper. Both are doing we'll.
Auti-Advertising Laws.
The states of Alabama, Georgia,
Mississippi and Virginia all have anti
liquor advertising laws. With very
slight change in wording this law is
practically the same in all four states
Alabama has been operating under it
since February s, 1915. The Georgia
law went into effect May j, 1916: the
Mississippi statute goes into effect
May IL, 1916 virginia's law becomes
effective November 1. 1916. The
North Carolina Anti;Saloon League
has Just resolved to urge the enact
ment of a similar law in that state
next year.

For some years now the plans for
a larger union, to establish a great
Christian university in Pekin, have
been under way. Last week we re-
ceiYed word by cable that the char
ter had been secured and a power of
attorney granted to one on the field.
Considerable land has already been
secured by the Methodists in the
southeast corner of the Tartar City,
and it is hoped that funds will be
available to secure the rest without
delay, as now is favorable opportu-
nifty to buy. 49,. r 80. -:
When this plan is consummated
the North China Union College is to
move to the new site, along with the
present Methodist Pekin University,
the union of the theological schools
having been accomplished last fall.
But whether this will be next fall or
later only the future can tell. BY
this complete union it is hoped that
an institution can be maintained
whose educational standards can be
kept in advance of or at least equal
to those of any of the government
institutions, and which can thus lead

these meetings a careful study is

large attendance indicates that these
studies are touching the right point.
