Generous Friend of Northwestern

James A. Patten of Evanston, Ill.,,
Northwestern university's benefactor
to the extent of S1,5OO,OOO, has ter
minated all official connections with
the university by resigning as presi-
dent and member Of the board of trus-
tees. He had been president of the
board since 1917 and member since
1905. Doctor Lynn Harold Hough
president of the university said: "Mr
Patten wished to resign at the time
was made head of the university,
but was prevailed upon to withdraw
his resignation and announced he
would stay another year. His resig-
nation was expected because of his
apparent desire to cut down the ex-
tent of his activities"
Mr.. Patten has made no state

DRY'S WANT TO NAME
STATES ATTORNEY

The Drys want to see real dry is
county.
This announcement is made in the
current number of the American Issue,
the official organ OF the Anti.Saloon
League. Simon pure prohibition en-
forcement candidates are to be enter.
ed in every one of the 100 counties
Of the state.
"The states attorney os Cook coun-
" must be a man who will use the
power Of his office to the fullest pos
sible extent to enforce the laws
against liquor" reads front page
editorial in the official dry organ.
only such man will receive the
support OF the Anti>Saloon league.
Every candidate who is opposed or In.
different to prohibition law enforce.
ment will be opposed to the full ex.
tent OF it's power by the Anti.Saloon
League.
In the past the chief objective Of
the Anti.Saloon League was dry leg
islation. The chief objective
now Is the election OF OHlclals WHo
will enforce prohibition.
In the future the Anti.Saloon
League will oppose the election OF
any and all candidates for states at
torney who do not stand for enforce
ment OF the eighteenth amendment.
Cook county, containing Chicago,
is one of the most important places
in the United States from the stand,
point of prohibition enforcement"
The same sentiment is the subject
Of another editorial, a part OF which
follows:
who loses through having in the
states attorneys chair a man who
respects his oath OF office and i'm
partially enforces the eighteenth
amendment? The bootleggers, the
blind tiger keepers, the brewers, the
keepers OF disorderly resorts, the gun
men, the gamblers-for without booze
gambling is not so profitable-in
short. all law-breakers, including the
underworld generally.
In the fight for the Office Of states
attorney in Cook county the minority
who profit by lawlessness will be op
posed by the great majority OF law
abiding citizens. Not only those who
have noted the marvellous benefits Of
one year OF prohibition, stand for law
and order, will insist that the state:
attorney must enforce the law"
