The Booth anniversary of the land

December Fl, 1920, win commemorate
an event OF profound significance in
the political and religious life Of
america. The early churches estab
lished by the Pilgrims constitute the
beginnings of eongregationalism in
America. II is therefore fitting that
all the churches OF that order today,
remembering their spiritual Inherit
ance, should observe this anniversary

Temperance Leaders Start
Movement to Ban Booze
Throughout Country

In view of the declaration by cen
gress that a state OF war exists be:
tween the United States and Germany
a movement for national wartime
prohibition of the manufacture and
sale Of intoxicating liquor in the
United States has been initiated
through the action of temperance lead
ers in seeking to have the governors
of the prohibition states inaugurate
campaign looking toward the restric-
ton of the liquor traffic and its waste
of food supplies in the present crisis.
Gov. Arthur Capper of Kansas is be-
ing urged from many quarters to take
the leadership in this movement for a
practical form of preparedness, which
the European nations have found alb
solutely essential to successful
prosecution of war.
The movement is in its very incep-
ton, so much so, that the attitude of
Gov. Capper toward the request made
of him is not known. Information of
the beginning of the movement was
given to representative of The Chris
t1an Science Monitor by Mrs. Eliza
beth H. Tflton of Cambridge, a social
worker and writer on prohibition sub.
jects, in an interview. 1t is known
that temperance leaders in Massa-
chusetts have wired Gov. Capper urg.
ing him to take charge of the cam
paign.
The proponents of the present move
ment do not intend to take any action
which will interfere with congress
while the necessary military legisla-
ton is being enacted, and in conse-
quence they have decided to secure
concerted action on the part of the
governors of the dry states to impress
upon the governors of the % wet
states the necessity for adopting the
action Of the European countries.
