 Her guardian relented. After all.

 lajive interests and the administra ton of it's policies entirely to MT Dinw iddie Nearly three years ago during the handling of situation due to his resentment over this and the exercise of necessary control by the responsible league committee, l told him frankly in the presence of the na tional executive committee that there was feeling in many quarters among league workers that he was not playing the game, but looking out for. and trying to serve himself first, and advance the cause of prohibition and the lee.yue as it's exponent, which employed him. second. He announced he would have much to say in reply but he never said it openly. /
 Some two years ago, on the basis of definite information, I confronted Mir. Dinwiddie before the league na
 tional executive committee with the proposition that he was seeking 10 be appointed federal prohibition com missioner under the proposed pend ing enforcement measure, precisely as the vets were charging in an ef- fort to discredit the sincerity of the league and obstruct enforcement legislation He could not and did not deny it. This led to the reaffirma- tion. by the national executive com mittee. national board of directors and national convention, of the leagues policy of opposing the ap- pointment of any salaried league staff worker to any position created 1 by any legislation promoted by the 1 league. Notwithstanding this action he persisted in his efforts and was opposed by sincere prohibitionists for the additional reason that he was not adapted -or that kind of work and his failure would discredit prohibition, and he was not ap- pointed.
 "The real danger lay in the fact that Mir Dnwiddies opposition to what is desired by the churches gem erally unless discounted by publica- tion of the facts. might have been used as an excuse for voting to de- lay or defeat action, by conservative. timid or shifty congressman who come from districts where public sentiment demands prompt thorough action, and who would have to vote right unless furnished a pretext in the form of so-called split" on the dry side. Since, whatever his motive, this was plainly MT. Dim widdie's purpose, the public has a right to the protection involved in knowledge of the facts. Those op- posed to allowing honest enforce ment to be to blocked by timid or selfish business interests, with some that are lawless, and which could | well afford literally to finance some kinds of so-called true prohibition" work, need only to close ranks and fight harder to frustrate this sur prising attempt at a flank attack timed for delivery at supposedly critical moment"

DINWIDDIE DISCOVERS WHAT IS
 MEANT BY THREAT FEM RnIIGHr

Washington, June 23.-(Special. .)- pr. B. c. Dinwiddie, who did such good work for the cause of prohibi- tion, is being made aware of just how rough" his former associates can treat a fellow.
 Dr. Dinwiddie, some days ago. urged Congress to put through bill out .awine the manufacture and dispensa- ton Of medicinal beer. The anti saloon league, through Wayne R Wheeler, stood for the enactment oi supplemental legislation not only out lawlng beer, but interfering with chemists and pharmacists in the use Of alcohol and wine in the prepara ton of drugs. pr. Dinwiddie con tended that if the cure -all, was attempted, delay would follow and rivers of beer would flow
 Because of his attitude. pr Din widdie has been given the third de gree. MT. Wheeler proceeded against aim. And then that prime bludgeop wic!der. William H. Anderson of New Ycrh was drafted into service. He has charged in communication to the press that Dr. Dinwiddie, as rep- resentstive of the league was un- trustworthy and that he was so am bitious in a personal sense, that he regarded prohibition as of secondary conslocration. As indicative of tho ieai hatred which reposes in these
 heavenly breasts" the following ex- cerpts from Anderson's letter to the press wall serve:
 "One of the reasons why many league workers were glad when Mir. Wheeler was sent to Washington was because of growing feeling that it was not safe longer to trust legis-

With Dick Calardin Eve must bring about a definite engagement Wanda veer had told her so Her guardian, too. The difference in the two mems point of view was that while one her uardian-actually wanted Eve to marry Dick, and the other-Julian Vandaveer-merely wanted Eve to use him for her own-and his-ne- farious ends.
 Eve rather fancied herself in the role of a Dililah, shearing Samson of his strength and money.
 But oh, She did not want to lose the attractive Julian in the process.
 She managed to summon strained smile to her lips
 I'm glad you think that 1 put in good work. last night. l rather thought l did myself MT. Calardin has invited me for a long solitary ramble this afternoon. We're going to walk 10 miles or so.
