Why Not for Other Meals.

Ing dinner only? Why not for an occa-
sional Sunday dinner or week day sup
per?
'I have had in my home on two diff
ferent Sundays two of the khaki-clad
boys. different each time, and the ap-
probation shown makes one feel for
room enough to invite the whole Army
and Navy, as most Of these boys have
memories Of good homes. and, as one
remarked, 1T was good to see a table,

invited two Of these to my Thanksgiv-

greetings from a mother to a mother's

patriotic sister bidding you sit right
down to the table and eat heartily on
Thanksgiving day. And there are going
to be girls in the house to play on the

CONGRESS DELAYED
BY" PRO" AND" "ANTI"
District Prohibition Measure
EIicits Strong Expressions
For and Against.

Protests against Congressional en-
actment OF the Sheppard prohibition
bill for the District and letters and
resolutions strongly urging Congress
to pass the measure, are pouring into
the Capitol today from Washington
civic organizations.
At meetings of the Midcity Citizens
Association and the Central Labor
Union last night It was voted to ask
Congress to vote down the measure
which would make the National Capt.
tai "dry" territory after November /.
The national legislative committee
of the Anti-Saloon League sent letters
to members OF the House, urging the
passage OF the Sheppard bill.
The eleventh-hour protest by the
City Citizens Association reached
the House District Committee today.
Action was taken following an I'M
psssioned speech by Congressman
Jacob e. Meeker, of Missouri, who
criticised "the fanatical hypocrites on
the HILL"
shouts His Protest.
The CONGRESSMAN took of his coat
and shouted his protest against what
he termed "religio-politico fanat'
icism" for nearly two hours. He at
tackled the pending dry legislation, Its
proponents, the Kenyon "red light
law, opponents oB referendum, ex-
treme paciffsm and divers interests
and individuals suffering from what
he characterized as "egophobis."
"This hysteria, which has been
growing for the past twenty-five
- q
revolution similar to the one that
swept France unless II is suppressed
and the liberties OF man are pre-
served" he declared. This steadily
increasing power of the fanatical
highbinders is one OF the most serious
menaces of the times"
The speaker asserted that the pro-
hibition movement has developed
more political Jekyls and Hydes"
than has any other phase of the
country's life. He said II had made
hyprocrites OF Congressman. and that
he would take great interest in
checking UP on those fellows on
the hill who vote against the refer
endum amendment to the prohibition
bill after having told the folks back
home that they believed in rule by
the people.
.Can't Vote Man Dry"
prohibition does not prohibit" said
the Congressman. "You can vote a
State dry, but you can't vote a man
dry. II would take a million sd-
ditional revenue officers to attempt
to enforce a nationwide prohibition
law, and still those who wanted to
drink would get their liquor.
This attempt to jam that dry bill
down the Districts throat is pure
Congressional despotism on the part
OF members of Congress who are
covering before a powerful political
lobby produced by some fanatics.
They operate in the name OF reform
with an utter disregard for the lib
erty of American men,
