saloon as an institution.

saloon as an institution.
Another reason for the neces-
sity Of focusing attention upon the
evil Of intoxicating liquor is the re-
cent decision Of the Supreme Court
Of the United States, which will re-
suit in shutting liquor out OF dry
states. There will no longer be an
opportunity TO secure liquor after
the saloons are closed, so that the
real question TO be voted upon will
be whether OF not liquor itself is TO
be abolished-not merely the saloon.
"If il is true that a very consid.
cradle quantity Of liquor is consum-
ed in dry states, then even in those
states where the legislative work
Of closing the saloon has apparent
ly been completed, there still re-
mains to be done an important
moral and educational work.
"UnquestionabIy, tho next big
fight against the saloon will be in
tie economic fle'c and particular
ly among workingmen. One-half
the population in the wet terri
tory of this country lives in four
great industrial states-New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, and New
Jersey, and one-fourth Of the peo-
pie in wet territory live in six great
industrial cities-New York, Chica-
go, Philadelphia, st. Louis, Boston
and Cleveland.
THE liquor men are thoroughly
organized in this field. They are
spending many thousands Of dol
lars and in some cases employing
professional labor leaders to con-
duct their campaigns. These liq-
our men are trying TO dominate
every central labor union in Amer
ica-the legislative bodies for trade
unionists in over 700 cities. The
Bartenders' Union ranks sixth and
the Brewery Workers Union tenth
in point of membership among the los
international unions affiliated with
the American Federation Of Labor
I'm this campaign against the sa
loon, to be conducted by the FEEDER
al Council of the Churches Of Christ
in America and the National Tenn
perance Society, the results Of two
years. thorough-gOing investigation
Of the economic aspects of the liq-
uor problem will be utilized, the
arguments of the liquor men being
answered from the standpoint OF
the workingman."

DODGE BROTHERS CAR
Montana man travels to Los
Angeles at little expense

+. C. Sumner, Of Livingston, Mon
tana, and Mrs. Sumner recently de-
cided that they would spend some
time in Southern California.
And they further made up their
minds that their Dodge Brothers
roadster had given them such good
service around home that they would
call on it for the long trip.
They covered the i450 miles from
Livingston to Los Angeles without
trouble Of any kind and. further
more, their total expense was only
$3l, while the same journey by rail
would have cost nearly 500 more
for railroad fare alone.
Livingston is situated north OF
Yellowstone Park and the route
covered by Mr.. and Mrs. Sumner is
Of interest TO tourists who are plan

CHURCH UNITE IN EDUCA-
TIONAL TEMPERANCE
CAMPAIGN
Federal Council Of the Churches Of
Christ in America and National
Temperance Society Combine
For Mere Effective
Service

The temperance forces OF the Pro-
testant Churches in this country
have been united with the National
Temperance Society for the pur-
pose of conducting a campaign Of
education on the Temperance ques-
ton.
The Commission on Temperance Of
the Federal Council of the Churches
OF Christ in America, which will
lead the churches in the campaign,
30 leading Protestant
denominations and speaks officially
for them. The National Temperance
Society is over fifty years old, and
has had among its officers such men
as the late William E. Dodge, finan-
cier and philanthropist of New York
City, who was its first President, DR..
Mark Hopkins, DR.. Theodore l.. Guy
Ter, General o. o. Howard, Joshua
L. Baily, and DR.. Stuart Dodge, all
Of whom were Presidents, the latter
being the son Of the founder and
who is now its President.
Discussing this new plan Of the
temperance forces in the churches,
Rev. Charles s. mcfarland, General
Secretary Of the Federal Council,
said:
There is an increasing convic-
ton among temperance workers
that if the fight againts the saloon
is TO become finally effective, the
temperance forces of America must
engage in an educational movement
showing the evils of the use of liq-
uor, especially among the younger
generation whose attention has been
directed chiefly TO the evils OF the

Tank Farm for Estill County
A gigantic plant for storing oil is
assured the Irvine oil field. The
Sinclair interests have entered the
field on a large scale under the firm
name Of Mid-Continent Oil Com
pany, of Oklahoma. A farm OF more
than $50 acres will be purchased
upon which sufficient tankage will
be placed TO store 100000 barrels
according TO plans already formed.
There will be thirty 5000 barrel
tanks erected; some Of which are
already on the way. The total cost
Of these tanks, their installation and
necessary pipelines leading to them
from the various points of the field
will be upward of s2,5OO,OOO. This
increase Of storage capacity will
greatly increase operations in this
field during the summer.

Alderman Complains of Disturbance By
 Sailors in Hotel

Following disturbance in Cannon street in which six sailors are alleged to have terrified the occupants of a transient hotel in which the police feared to interfere during an hours revelry, Alderman Cole today assert ed he was planning an inquiry to as- certain what Jurisdiction the civil auth critics may have and why such marauders cannot be arrested by the police and properly punished by the commanding military officers.
 Inquiry already made by Alderman Cole at the navy recruiting station developed information to the effect that the six intoxicated sailors were not members of the regular navy forces but were probably sons of wealthy families doing duty in re- serve organizations.
 There Is altogether too much money being spent by members of the Naval Reserve, too much autonobile riding about the city streets, and less attention to actual duty on the part of these embryo sailors Alderman Cole said today.
 Many of these sailors are stationed in Bridgeport and it behooves their officers to see that they are kept more within the bounds, assert their wealth in less visible manner and gain that respect which all men in the navy should command from the public"
 It has been learned by Alderman Cole that six sailors, not in the United States Navy attempted to force en- trance into the hotel, were elected and then accosted and annoyed pedes-

Washington, July 20---A defective firing pin in the forward gun of the armed merchantman Morend was part Iy responsible for her loss when at- tackled by German submarine on June 11, according to the gun cap tain's account of the combat issued yesterfay by the Navy Department.
 Andrew Copassalxf was in command of the gun crews. Besides the failure of the weapon. other things that ham percd him and his men in the fight were, he says, the fact that the sub marine outranged the Moreni, and that the American ammunition sup ply was so scanty that he was obliged
