Declaring that II Christian educa-

that make IL possible and the ideals
that inspire, IT must, by intention as
we'll as influence. touch the spiritual
intelligence of both teacher and stu
dent and mark them among men by

Several thousand attended the exer-

III we look upon education as a
rounded development Of life. spiritual
Intelligence should develop as our
knowledge OF science grows" said
Dr. Kerby.
I'VE may. therefore, indicate excep-
tional' power of discernment of evil as
one fruit OF Christian education" he
said. 1--WE may indicate sympathetic
understanding of the clearer under

Christian ideals of life and effort as
the second product of Christian edu-

"In a country like this" continued
the President. where democracy In at
its best, which OF these children
CARRIED in the same raiment IL the

of the workman"
The President made special allusion
to the fact that he came from Ohio

LEADERS FACING
EARLY ARREST
Police and Dry Agents Join In
Effort to Land Wealthy
"High-up" BootIsggers.

The next move Of the police In
their campaign to put an end to
bootiegging in washington will be
against the so-cailed "whiskey
ring" This ring is said to comprise
Ave or six men who have been ply
ing an illegal whiskey trade in
Washington since the country went
dry and on account of their wealth
have managed to escape arrest.
The police, and prohibition agents
men have been arrested. but tho
higher ups" are sim free. The
authorities have known for some
time that these men were engaged
In the whiskey business on a large
scale but have been unable to get
sufficient evidence to warrant their
arrest.
Now that perfect harmony ex-
lists between the police, the prohi-
bition agents and the District at
torney's office on the matter of
prohibition, IL Is said the apprehen-
sion and conviction OF these men IL
only a matter OF a few days.
Every one admits the campaign
inaugurated by Commissioner James
r. Oyster is showing results. The
month OF May. 1t Is said. will
show the largest seizure of wet
goods OF any month since the ma
tional prohibition act became ef-
fective. both in number Of arrests
and amount of material connscat ed.
Commissioner Oyster has organic
ed a whiskey squad. which works
under the personal direction of po-
lice headquarters. Supplementing
this squad are similar squads in
each precinct and rivalry 10 keen.
The result Is that many who had
eluded arrest for several months
have at last been caught in the
net.
The campaign for the past week
has been directed toward the small
grocers throughout tho city who
have been selling navoring extracts.
and other preparations as beverages.
Many have been arrested and thou
sands OF dollars worth of these
whiskey Substitutes have been con-
nscated by the Government. Those
who escaped arrest have become
very wary about selling the prep
arations to customers. who hereto
fore have had no trouble in purchas-
ing any amount they desired.
