HENDRICK PAYS TRIBUTE TO RUSSELL
Writer Calls Founder AntSaloon League

six states and ono territory at sin
gle election!
The Dream of Salooniess Nation
Certainly, if any organization has
ever 'cashed in it is the Anti-Saloon
League organized by Daddy Russell
in 1898. Whatever we may think of
it, these energetic clergymen and
'busybodies' have achieved success,
according to their own ideas of sue
cess. But their work has only be-
gun. 1t will be accomplished only
when the amendment to the federal
constitution prohibiting the sale,
manufacture for sale, transportation
for sale, importation for sale and ex-
portation for sale of Intoxicating 1iq-
uors for beverage purposes in the
United States and all territory sub
ject to the jurisdiction thereof are
forever prohibited
"a saloonless nation by 1920
the three hundredth anniversary OF
the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers
is now the goal that absorbs all the
energy of Mr.. Russell, of his success
sor as National Superintendent, the
Rev Purley A. Baker, and of other
thousands of associated workers all
through the United States. What are
the forces back of this campaign, and
what are the chances that it will
succeed?
1T is a striking phase OF modern
American life that in these early days
Of the 10th century, usually regarded
as period of fading religious belief,
we have movement, already i'm
mensely successful, which draws its
main inspiration from the Bible. For
the Anti-Saloon League is almost ex-
clusively a church organization; its
leaders are nearly all clergymen; its
members are practically all taken
from the evangelical denominations !;
and it's financial support is derived
largely from church collections. 1t
represents conscious effort to swing
the votes of American church mem
bers against the saloon. Its frock-
coated and authenticated leaders
regarded the votes cast for Prohibi-
ton as the triumphant voice of God
asserting Himself against the devil"
