regularity. The assemblymen will waste the
early weeks of the session in idleness, permitting
bills to pile up mountain high, and on the closing
day pass more measures than they acted on in
two weeks while the session was young.
"The danger Of delay is pointed out at every
session." says the Indianapolis News, land there
are enough experienced men in the general as
sembly now to realize that fooling away time
means such confusion near the end that the state
suffers. The business in hand should be cleaned
up and all desks clear by the time adjournment
day arrives. There should be no necessity to turn
the clock back and to jam through legislation
that nobody has had time to consider seriously.
Then is the time when the jokers are tackled on
and when special privilege has its inning The
members of the legislature realize that they were
elected for certain duties and not play"
The News is right in pointing out the menace
in letting legislation pile up till the end of the
session. Crooked lobbyists and special interests
are always looking for chance to rob the people,
and their chance usually comes when the session
draws near it's end. The members of the legisla-
ture are paid to work during the entire session,
which includes the first weeks as well as the
last day.

In an announcement issued from
Westerville, Ohio, the home of the
general superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League of America, it is for
mally announced that the league has
undertaken the task of mobilizing pub
lie sentiment for worldwide prohi-
bition
The watchword Of the league used
to be "A Dry Nation by 1920" Now
"A saloonless and drunkless world,
has become its shibboleth.
The possibilities of the movement
proposed by the league challenge the
inauguration. Worldwide prohibition
Is colossal task. The league admits
that. It's prosecution will require time
and money The league is blessed
with both. 1t has spent 100000 a
year in it's state and national work.
Five million dollars a year will be
needed for it's hands across the sea
program.
Twelve hundred and fifty clergy
men of the Church Of England" the
4, league declares, together with 472
| women in English rectories, today own
more than $S,00O,OOO worth of stock in
English breweries. In the Pera quar-
ter of Constantinople on the same plot
Of ground with the Orthodox Greek
church, there are a dozen drinking
places owned by the church, which is
kept up by the revenues from these
drink shops"
These 1880 clergymen of the Church
| OF England, these 472 women in Eng.
lish rectories, must be made to see
| the error of their ways, the league
has decided They must relinquish
their brewery stock. And the best
way to bring that about, the league
declares, is to abolish the breweries
No breweries, no brewery stocks.
! Our business is to so marshal our
energy and means as to bring about
the speediest repression and the ulti
mate suppression Of the beverage liq
uor traffic. said Dr. Purley A. Baker
general superintendent of the league
! He added:
| I'VE seek saloonless and drunk

of the Anti-Saloon League of America
recently agreed upon by it's national
executive committee is threefold:

its efforts into other countries by fur

form of speakers, writer's and others
as well as through general publicity
agencies, which it is supposed will
have tendency to establish in the
minds of the people of other countries
the facts respecting the operation Of

Second, the league will give finan

similar to those of the Anti-Saloor
