Samuel H. Davis, attorney, repre- sentative in the general assembly, ad- vocate of the Rhode Island Anti Saloon league and former pastor of the Pawcatuck Seventh Day Baptist church. and Rev. Frederick A. Mac Donald, pastor of Pawcatuck Congre- gational church, who spent a year in service overseas and home work for the '. M. C. A. were speakers at the state convention of the Rhode Island Anti-Saloon league m Providence Saloons and all other places of drink ing were likened to cancers, cooties and dog f1eas; legislators who defend ed them were declared to be living without the broad world vision, while men who patronize them were to be pitied. It was stated that the liquor interests have been convicted of plot ting against the very safety of the country. that they have no regard for the laws. and that the brewers are for the almighty dollar for which they are willing to plunge their country into hell. There was talk of this kind all through the session.
 Rev. Mir. MacDonald's subject was American Spirit in the War. He de- clared that the same fighting determi- nation that beat the Hun is needed in the campaign against the liquor inter ests. What helped us in the war was the contributions made by the nations of the world to our national life. IL is that same constribution which will spell the doom of the liquor forces. There is little difference between the Huns and the brewers, he said.
 Representative Davis in his talk on Legislative Conditions and Hope se- verely criticized the failure of the TzIa ,I eIa tn 1,e national prohibition amendment and it's passage of the per cent. beer law He outlined the attempts which are being made by the liquor interests to cirCumvent the scope and purpose o1 the provisions Of the 18th amendment The biggest in the way of legislation he said. is the ratification of that amendment The liquor interests are making a late hour attempt to show that concurrent power means concur rent legislation. Their position is ri- diculous. but it is the last straw or which they are making their desperate stand
