PROHIBITION FOR CAPITAL
AGAIN STRONGLY URGED
National Legislative Committee Of
the Anti-Saloon League Issues
Statement.

That the nations capital should be
should express the highest and best
governmental policy in promoting hu-
man welfare, is the statement of the
national legislative committee of the
Anti-Saloon League of America in the
submission of national prohibition
amendment.
ITO allow it to remain, in it's moral
standards. below the average of the ma
tion would be inexcusable and dis
graceful More than half the states
and a majority of the people have
mental policy. The capital of the ma
ton. governed by the representatives
of the people, should be dry. Congress
should pass at once the District of Co
lumbia prohibition BILL it is set forth.
Gratifed by Election.
The committee at a recent meeting in
this city reviewed results of the recent
election and discussed a course of ac-
ton for the immediate future. This
committee, consisting of Rev. James
Cannon, jr., of Virginia. chairman: Rev
A. ]. Barton, of Texas. Wayne B.
Wheeler of Ohio and Rev. f. c. Din
widdie of this city, was gratified at
the results of the election and ex-
pressed hope of securing important leg
islation at the coming session of Con-
gress for greater prohibition laws. es-
pecially in the District of Columbia.
In submission of a national prohibit
ton amendment it is declared that
twenty-five states have declared for
han
cent of the population of the United
States, and that Congress cannot longer
deny the American people their consti
tutional right of passing upon the
question of amending their Constitu-
ton.
Would Close Mails to Liquor.
Further the program for legislation
sets forth:
1T is but common justice that prohi-
bition territory should not be handi-
capped in the enforcement of prohibi
tory law. 1t is highly important that
the national government shall not aid
and abet the liquor traffic in it's def
should forbid liquor makers and deal
ers to use the United States mails to
advertise their outlawed liquors in dry
territory. With all dispatch, Congress

in all states in which the laws of the
states prohibit such advertising
The native people of Hawaii have
suffered and are suffering greatly at
the hands of the greedy and con-
scienceless liquor traffic of America.
Their appeal for deliverance is strong
and pathetic, Congress should, without
delay, pass prohibition law for the
Hawaiian Islands.

Down in Arizona also the drys won
an overwhelming victory. In 1914 the
state adopted prohibition amendment
to the constitution of the most drastic
sort 1t forbade shipments of liquor
into the state for any purpose what
ever. But the supreme court of Arizona
held in a decision that since the laws
of the state did not prohibit the use of
liquors the state could not prohibit in

Backed by Patriotic Bodies.

A number of patriotic societies,
many of them national in scope. have
banded together to make this appeal
to Congress. They say that as Con-
gress had the power to adopt the
flag, it has equally the power and duty
to protect the flag from Dissertation.
The organizers of this campaign
point out that while the flag Of the
United States was created by an act
of Congress in the year 1171, lit is a
singular fact that no action has been
taken by that body to provide for the
punishment of individuals who desc
crate or mutilate it and that thus far
appeals to that body have proved I'M
availing.
Congress has not established any regu-
lation as to the use of the flag except
that contained in the act approved Feb
ruary 20, 1906. authorizing use of trade
marks with foreign nations and among
the states, which provides. in addition
to other things. that no mark snail be
refused as a trade mark on account or
its nature unless such mark consists of
or comprises a coat of arms or other
insignia of the United States.
Even prior to the passage of that law
the commissioner of patents patriotical-
ly has made rulings, without any statute
upon the subject, in declining to permit
the national flag to be used for COM
mercial purposes as part of regis
tered trade mark 1t has been an eS-
tablished practice also of the librarian
of congress to refuse registration of
copyrights which contain the American
flag used for the same purposes.

deavor to secure action in the closing

and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair. fine and downy at first-yes-but

Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an incompatible luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or
