 According to an announcement made by Dr. Brooks Lawrence. superintendent of the Alabama Anti-Saloon league, this is one of the regular campaigns made by the prohibitionists every year or two and is intended to keep up the work urtil all anti-liquor enforcement laws now proposed become a reality.
 While the federal amendment has been ratified by more than two-thirds of the states and becomes effective next Jan uary, and large number of states have prohibition laws in effect there remains a great deal of legislation to be enacted before the federal amendment, can be en- forced, he says

How a Father Has Learned to
 Save Shoe Bills.

My son is very hard on shoes. so keeping him properly shod has been quite an expense to me, writes Mir. J. Allison Allen, of Amity, Arkansas.
 But since 1 started to buy Neolin- soled shoes for him have found that it costs onfy>about a third as much to keep him in shoes"
 This is because Neolin Soles are so tough and durable that they wear a very long time. Shoe bills are kept down because you don't need so many pairs.
 You can get Neolin-soled shoes at almost any good shoe store. They come in all styles and for all members of the family. Neolin Soles are also available everywhere for re-soling. They are produced by scientific pro cess to be what soles ought to be: com fortable, waterproof and long-wearing. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed to outwear any other heels.

, tue of his seniority, but also by virtue of his national prestige.
 And everything looked like a new born rose-until. without warning. the public was made aware that certain democrats. calling themselves "progressives," had formed an organization with the avowed object of bringing those gray hairs" in disrepute to the ground
 These gentlemen gave as reason, not the fact that MT. Clark had dared to op- pose President Wilson in contest for the presidential nomination in 1912, but that he had made that unhappy and un- fortunate comparison between a "con- script and a convict" and the alleged charge that he did not stand with the chief executive respecting the constitu- tion of the league of nations.
 The Clark forces denounce the at tempt of the anti-C1ark organization. It was intimated that the latter de- sired in subservient manner to curry favor with the President. that by their attitude they were beseeching him to tread upon their bodies lying prone before him.
 There developed great bitterness. Members of the House looked askance at each other. An explosion was cer- tain. All that was wanted was match. The republicans. having tru- bles of their own-for they were fight ing among themselves for prospective "pie''-were openly hopeful that noth- ing would prevent what appeared in. evitable.
 The anti-Clark forces selected MT. Mayo of Utah to set off the dynamite. In prepared statement, issued in advance of the date on which he de. sired it published, he assailed the
 
 speaker. He referred to the fact that MT. Clark had said that in his part of the country the people were aware of precious little difference between a conscript and convict" He charged that MT. Clark had declared that "wil- son's league of nations has no more chance of becoming ratified than you have of becoming the Poperof Rome"
 And then he speculated. He intimat- ed that with republicans in control, the democrats should not have a leader who would stab Wilson in the back, should not have leader whose soul would be thrilled by the bitter criti- cism of the President in which the republicans to a certainty would in- dulge.
 It is sad that men cannot have diff ferences. honest or dishonest, without speculating with matter which has no status in fact or truth. There are very few men in Congress who believe that

What Has Happened to America

1 Henry Seidel Canby in the Yale Review As for America, does anyone know yet
 what has happened to America as a result
 of the war? Of one thing only we may 1 be sure, energy has been 1oosed here 1 also an energy of service and public mindedness such as may well combat and drive from our arteries the toxins of self regarding individualism long gathering | there, and the newer microbes of violence, l lawlessness, conceit, and suspicion which the war has engendered For three req i sons-and there may be many moreover | a pacifist must be glad that we chose the | way of war and responsibility in the | spring of 1917 For the first, we have moved forward a whole generation to- ward national unity and homogeneity. | Next, the taste for public service has be- | come common and will be gratifed, until the price of loyalty from the worker be- comes an opportunity to serve the conn munity as well as the employer or ths capitalist. And finally we realize now, even though we see the future dimly, tha. America is irretrievably involved in the fate of world civilization, and must as- sume responsibilities in measure with her strength.

MT. Clark as democratic leader would stab Mir. Wilson in the back, or rejoice when republicans saw proper to assail him. Mir. clark's grievance is against w J. Bryan, not against his successful rival in the Baltimore convention. And again. Mir. Clark denies that he made the statement regarding the league of nations which was the fundamental of all the charges. of MT. Mays.
 You remember how dynamic was the Clark denial: The man who makes that statement" he exclaimed, 'is a liar; no a d. liar"
 "All of us felt sorry for Mays. For it is terrible to be called liar unless you can vindicate yourself with few viz orous punches to the nose. And all of us knew that there would be no fight. The whole world has seen enough of battle and hloodshed. In view of that fact Mays was probably justified in declin- ing to "beat up' the explosive Kentuck -Missourian.

 The Alabama delegation, it appears, will support Clark. And yet, you can never accurately foretel. Representative Heflin, who defends the President. ever and anon, this despite the fact that the President seldom needs defense has not committed himself to Clark As a matter of fact in a recent conversation with this correspondent, he left the impression that he was under conviction that in this perilous hour" we should put on guard only those who with every breath pro- nounce the name of Wilson
 IT they beat Clark and elevate one who more nearly than any other measures up to their standard, they must elevate MT. Heflin. There is no more outspoken Wilson man in the United states-or Eu- rope.
