This means legislative notification
of the eighteenth amendment. as was
recently pointed out by Mr.. McAdoo
and ex-President Taft" Mr.. Wheeler
said. Amy candidate who accepts
the Endorsement and financial aid Of
the liquor interests to accomplish his
purpose will have a hard time to con-
vince the law-abiding citizens he ia
worthy of their support. II such aid
is given and not repudiated it car
ries with ii an obligation to help the
liquor interests to carry out their pro-
gram.
The investigation of federal liquor
inspectors by the federal government
and in some cases by private citizens
shows that a few of them have been
corrupted. No excuse can be given
for federal agent who will accept
money and permit the law to be vio-
lated. AS bad as they are. they are
saints in comparison to the outIawed
liquor dealers who corrupt them in
order to make money out OF a law

His regiment was one of the most

Antietam. For a time Capt. Jones and
his company were stationed south OF
the Potomac and helped to guard the
approach to Washington, near the
Chain bridge and Langley. After los
ing his arm at Antietam he was dis
charged from the Army. Examining
boards were not as careful in their
examinations then as they are now

When President Cleveland came
into Office he had Capt. Jones removed
from office because of his partisan
ship. but President Mckinley recalled

DURHAM, N. c.. September l1.-That
there is no indication of a lessening of
the seriousness Of the fuel shortage in
North Carolina, and that a like condi-

the gist of statement made last night
by officials Of the Durham Chamber of
Commerce, who have made a thorough
investigation into the situation.
Many cities in North Carolina have re-
ported being without coal and have no
prospects of getting supply before the
winter months. There has been no drop
in prices, and retail dealers refuse to
purchase supplies at the high quota
tons, fearing a decline.
The local chamber of commerce re-
ceived a communication from the At
lanta (Ga) Chamber of Commerce APP
pealing for assistance in meeting a bad
fuel shortage. The response sent was
to the effect that North Carolina has put
forth great efforts in the same direction
without success.

for constructive civic service.
Her First Vacation.
The Presidents offer reached Miss
Boardman in the midst Of the first
real vacation she has had since early
in 1914, at the beginning of the war.
During the following years Miss
Boafdman's application to the or
.ganization and executive end of the
Red Cross work has been almost con-
slant. Aside from the rapid organi-
zafion of units throughout the nation
it was upon her judgment that rested
the issuing of many urgent and i'm
portant instructions regarding the
conduct of the Red Cross on the
battle6elds.
The Red Cross expanded to such
proportions during the period Miss
Boardman was one of its heads that
the present magnificent structure oc-

During the four years of war in
Europe Miss Boardman made a num-
Der of inspection trips to the various
battle fronts. Besides the organiza-
ton of the various Red Cross units
throughout the country she organized
the Women's Volunteer Aid. an or
ganization of Red Cross women which
operated on mi-mi1itary basis.
These corps of women did a work
during the war that is well known
to all.
Wanted Model Chapter.
Aside from her national work, Miss
Boardman has found time to take a
most active part in the administra-
ton of affairs of the District of CO.

always has held this chapter should
be a model for the United States, and
this accomplishment has ever been her
aim. She served as it's chairman for a
number of years and is now member
of its executive committee.
Despite the many calls upon her
time by these activities, Miss Board
man has been prominently identified
with civic and philanthropic bodies.
She has interested herself in endeav-
ors to obtain adequate pay for woman
workers and for restriction of the

COOLIDGE WARNS
OF TWO DANGERS
Governor Speaks on Welfare
of America in New
Hampshire.

MANCHESTER, n. H, September II
(by the Associated Press).-Gov. Call
win Coolidge of Massachusetts. repub-
lican nominee for Vice President. in
an address here today said that Amer
lea, lied by patriot like Warren G.
Harding, will protect the interests of
ungrudingiy all her duties abroad
1t is well to keep in mind" Mr.
Coolidge said. that unless we main
tain our domestic institutions we
shall have no foreign relations; un-
less we cherish liberty and. prosperity
them abroad. The welfare we seek
is ever the welfare of America. and
il not of America alone. certainly OF
America first.
1T is for the purpose Of advancing
that welfare that citizens associate
themselves in parties.
IF I were asked to state the pur-
pose of the republican party in two
words I should ray Sound govern
ment.' That party has been peculiarly
the custodian and defender OF our
Constitution. No problem arising
from the war calls more urgently for
solution than how to return to and
maintain constitutional government.
Two Dangers Always Threaten.
There are two dangers which will
always threaten our Constitution. One
is autocracy. the encroachment of the
executive. 1t is ever easy for an in
dividual to believe himself divinely
walton is always sought by reliev-
ing them of the responsibilities of
their freedom, taking over the direc-
ton Of their affairs, assuming gov
eminent for them, oblivious to the
great fact that If there fs any saliva
will
by reason of the people governing
themselves.
There are other Influences at work
in America, as there are throughout
the world-more evil and more sin
lister. In general. they make the same
claim. They propose to relieve the
people from all the burden of main
tanning their own freedom and their
own independence. 1 do not deny that
this can be done. But it is contra
diction in terms to suppose it can be
done and any independents and free
dom remain.
IF these influences prevail civiliza-
ton ends and barbarian begins. With
them death and destruction walk
hand in hand For the present popu-
only by an orderly use Of the powers
of modern inventions and the use of
great accumulations of capital. I'm
less this order is maintained famine
would destroy our country in thirty
days"
Propaganda Ii Means ut Work.
'"The means by. which these influ-
ences work is propaganda. Always an
appeal to discomfort, to envy or worse
They deny every principle of civiliza-
ton They would supplant all good
with evil. Against this proposal to
confiscate civilization all good citizens
must join in resistance"
Gov. Coolidge said that the repub-
lican party always had sought to en-
courage business enterprise.
