".
Whereas, since this Board met in
its annual session-fhe splendid wo-
manhood of America has by the rati-
fication of the Nineteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution achieved
full suffrage as citizens of this Re
public, therefore,
Be it resolved, that we heartily APP
prove the action which makes ample
recognition of the place of women in
our Anti-Saloon League work And
the selection OF an equitable nunbei
of competent women as members OF
our Board of Directors seems to us
matter to be encouraged.
v.
Whereas, the Constitutional con-
vention OF our state is still engaged
in its great task of writing a new
constitution for Illinois and
Whereas, this convention seems
disposed to take ample time to do its
important work thoroughly, there
fore,
Be it resolved by this Board. That
we express to President Woodward
and his fellow members OF the Con
stitutional convention our admira-
ton for their patience and continue
ance in the tasks appointed them by
our state.
Resolved, that we record or sat
isfaction with the progress thus far
made by the Constitutional conven-
ton, and. particularly are we grati6ed
with It's action in providing for sys-
tenn that will not deprive any portion
of the state of Representation in the
General Assembly, and which will
give. as well proper consideration to
the cities in accordance with their
population. This we believe is done
as much in the interest OF our mighty
city, of which we are Justly proud, as
for the wider interests Of the whole
state. In other words we believe a
great city in any state needs the help
of its state to achieve its highest
destiny.

Resolved, that we express our Joy
in the good news that our National
Superintendent, p. A. Baker has been
restored to health and is again in the
active leadership of the National
League.

Since there arises a very serious
condition in some sections of Europe,
the Near East, and China because of
famine conditions and as a result
millions are starving, therefore,
Be it resolved, that we call upon
every nation not having already done
SO, that in face of this need to save
human lives, that they no longer per-
NIT the destruction of vast quantities
of food stuffs in the manufacture of
alcoholic liquors.
(a) Whereas, the next Legislature
will convene in the beginning of the
new year, therefore,
Be it resolved, that we authorize
the Superintendent and the Head
quarters Committee to propose such
measures as will strengthen the weak
places of our present Prohibition
laws and will make such measures
more easily and effectively enforceable,
and we pledge to Superintendent
Mcbride our loyal support in secur-
ing the passage of such bills in the
coming session of the Legislature.
Resolved, that we urge upon the
Legislature ample appropriation of
money to the Acknowledgement of
the state to the end that our Prohibi-
ton measures may be vigorously and
persistently enforced. One way to
nullify law is to deny necessary
funds to the law enforcing machinery
and we shall regard any niggardli-
ness and any opposition to such ap-
preparation as an open ASSAULT upon
the Prohibition laws and we shall es-
TEEN such attitude on the part of rep
resentatives as tantamount to a mega
tive vote upon our measures.

Whereas, our Superintendent Nc
Bride continues to enjoy the undi-
minished confidence of this Board in
his difficult and arduous duties as
Superintendent of our League, there

Be It resolved, that we express to
