SPOKE SATURDAY
Enforcement League Representative Visits
Hope and gives splendid talk.

Mr.. c. w. Finwall, Assistant Sup
erinterndent of the Law Enforcement
League of North Dakota, held a meet
ing in the City Hall Saturday after
noon. Mr., Finwall regretted that he
was unable to be here for the meeting
on Friday but he was retained in Chi
cago on business. The change of time
may have partly accounted for the
small attendance. 1t is to be regretted
that o could not have attended for
they missed a rousins talk touching
not only temperance and law-enforce-'
ment, but community welfare in gen.
eral. Mr.. Finwall speaks with enthu-
siasm and as n thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the facts. He gave a run
ming survey Of the whole temperance
situation, pointing out that the tenn
perance movement is a world move
ment, that China, Japan, India, Per.
sia, Thibet, Russia and other coun-
tries are dry, wholly Or in part, that
in our own land nineteen states are
wholly dry, that nineteen more are
from one-half to seven-eights dry,
that two-thirds of the U. s. Senate
and nearly one-half Of the House are
in favor of prohibition, and in this
majority are some Of the leaders OF
the stronger parties. Forty-four
square miles of territory in the city of
Chicago are dry now Six hundred
saloons of Chicago have gone out OF
business since Mayor Thompson
closed the saloons on Sunday because
they lived OF the Sundays and Mon
days trade. He gave this startling
fact that forty saloons have closed
their doors per day during the last
four and one-half years, that the Law
Enforcement League had done away
with owe two thousand blind pigs in
North Dakota and that they we're hot
after the whole liquor business in the
state. The League is now on an edu.
cational campaign in which it plans
to reach two hundred towns in the
state, including every county seat,
thereby putting the Importance anc
necessity, according to the laws o
North Dakota, of every official en-
forcing the law before every county
in the state. He pointed out the regu
lations governing the delivery anc
purchase on liquor coming into NORTH
Dakota and told how the laws wert
becoming mor strict and better en-
forced every year. 1t would be vel
for all to look carefully into these
laws. Mr.. Finwall said that while
this country probably had more law,
than any other country in the worlc
that it was at the same time the mos
law-breaking country In the world
He urged all parents and school teach
ers to instill into the youths of tn.
land a grearter respect and reverence
for age, authority and all officials.
