Demands Smith Back Drys
Anderson Urges Governor to
Permit Repeal of Notification

William H. Anderson, state superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League, in
q letter to the Republican members of
the Legislature asks for cynchroniza-
tion of the Republican elephants legs.
In urging the Republican members to
adopt resolution asking the Governor
to send special message permitting
the repeal Of the notification act,
passed last winter, Mr.. Anderson says:
"Your party candidate for governor
has just declared in his acceptance
speech for the enforcement of the law
including the Eighteenth Amendment
as a general proposition, but carefully
ducked all reference to the duty of the
state to do its part. Ordinary intelli-
gence would show how hollow it makes
his statement sound for the Republican
Legislature to continue to stand pat
on notification. 1t is obvious to every
body, except apparently the Republican
management of the Legislature, that
common sense calls for the front legs
and the hind legs of the state Republi-
can elephant to get into step with each
other"

Harding Will Stand Firm
at is evident that Senator Harding
is a man who not only will not resent
but who diligently seeks correct in
formation and sound, disinterested ad-
vice. 1t is equally evident that, having
gathered such advice, his mental proc
esses are his own and his decisions are
clear cut and firm. Any one who thinks
that in Senator Harding he will find q
'stand-patter,' man in sympathy With
reactionary views, man that can be
swayed or controlled by any clique or
combination, will make great mistake
in voting for him."
Mr.. Beck, after commenting on SEN
ator Harding's vigorous health, said:

Hardings broad position was that our
true policy should be one of independ-

Harding, with his comparative youth,
sound common sense, long experience
in public life, modesty in judgment
and whole hearted loyalty to the great
traditions Of the Republic, seems to me
the man of hour to restore to the
United States the high place in the
councils Of civilization which the futile
Wilson peace program so needlessly
sacrificed. Those who favor true

for the maintenance of peace through
justice should support Mr.. Harding.

tonight.

"This is my position. am determined

reservations which are offered in sim

trumped up for political purposes"
The Governors statement was in re-
Spouse to questions in local Republican
newspapers which, he said he was in
formed, were inspired by two advance
agents of Chairman Hays Of the Re-
publican National Committee. These
men, named Headly and Smith, the
candidate said, were "Hays's scouts"
and were endeavoring to cmbarrass and
minimize his Western campaign, trav-
cling few days ahead on the Gov
ernor's itinerary.
To one of the local newspapers
question on prohibition Governor Cox
also reiterated his position, saying:
mo liquor organization has ever
donated a dollar to my campaign to
my knowledge, nor have l ever owned
q share of stock in any brewery. I
suggest that this question be asked of

Governor Cox challenged the news

his Republican opponent.

THE CHURCH CAMPAIGN.

Interesting statistics with a bearing on the
nationwide campaign Of the churches are given
in publications coming from the committees
having that campaign in charge. In 1850 the
per capita wealth of the country was three
hundred dollars and sixty per cent. OF our
population was classified by the census OF that
year as connected with some church. In 1910
the per capita wealth of the country had risen
to one thousand, seven hundred dollars and
only thirty-nine per cent OF the people were
closely or nominally associated with the church.
OF this thirtynine per cent, thirty per cent, or
about thirteen per cent of the total population,
were church attendants and only about twenty
per cent. of the thirty-nine per cent. contribut
ed to church support. If these figures are cor
rect, less than eight per cent. Of the people are
carving on the financial activities of the
churches of today. .....
The natural first endeavor of the churches
would seemingly be to stimulate the deepened
interest of their own flocks, after which the
problems presented by the churches would be
taken up in turn. Relative to the statistics as
to wealth, it must be borne in mind that the per
capita wealth of country and its average
wealth are totally different things, the average
being much less than the per capita. But the
outstanding and significant fact is that with
our increase in wealth and with the influx OF
immigrants the growth OF population has far
outstripped the growth of the churches, and as
people we have become more materialistic
steadily year by year.
The church campaign to correct this tendency
and extend it's influence is beginning in the
right-and probably in the only effective-way.
The only known means of improving mass
condition is by improvement of the units of
which it is composed. As some people read the
gospels, this is the only method of procedure
to the end in view laid down therein. The time
was once when the church. a state religion,
was able with more or less success to impose its
views and observances upon the people. But
even then the method had great and obvious
disadvantages, sitting thought and petrifying
belief into Journalism. That method, however,
is no longer feasible. In religion as in politics
the hierarchical system with it's fountain of
authority at the top has passed. Growth comes
from below, and authority resides in the great

INTERVENTION IN MEXICO.

Is there, as is stated, good reason to be-
lieve that the public mind is being inflamed
against Mexico by avigorous and skillful propa-
ganda for intervention?'' Several hundred
American citizens have been murdered by MeXi-
cans in the last few years. These crimes are
conclusively established undenied. Yet who
has heard Of a single case where.a Mexican has
been murdered by an American! Evidently a
state of affairs exists which some way should be
found to end Certain evidence OF Carranza s
duplcitysand instigation of raids across our
border has been laid before the senate; but we
do not think that any senator can be truthfully
charged with propaganding to bring on war.
No right-minded man wants war with Mexico
if it can be avoided; but all right-minded Ameri-
cans must desire to see some steps taken to end
a situation which must ultimately, if continued,
end in war.
Worse things might happen than our inter
yention in Mexico. In fact it might be the best
thing that possibly could happen to that coun-
try and improve the lot Of her fifteen million
people more in a single decade than they them
selves would improve in hundred years. We
hope Intervention may be avoided, but 1t is evil
dent that it must become necessary and newt
'able unless the MeXicans establish govern
nlent both anxious and able to protect the lives
and property Of foreigners who travel or So
iourn there. From all that appears, Americans
are the only ones who are killed. Europeans OF
whatever nation seem to be protected and are
safe It looks very much therefore like peculiar
spitefulness towards us; and it is not clear that
there is any moral obligation on us to permit
the killings to go on.

And knocking there. it shall refuse them not

They bide some blessed moment of quick tears
Some moment without date

When that which lured once now lureth not,
But the tired hands their garnered dross let faii,
