His Appointment Re-
 garded as D e a t h
 Stroke for Growing Lii b eral Sentiment Against VOlstead Act.

HillsborO, O., June 24.-The new "ul- tra dry' United States prohibition com missioner, Major Roy Haynes of Hills boro, IS a true disciple of the crusade movement started by "Mother" Thomp- son of ChillicOthe, O., a neighbor city to HillSbOrO
 Away back in 1873 that unique female pioneer figure in Americas temperance mOVemnt and her numerous bands of ex- clus1Vely female opponents of old John Barleycorn' attempted to banish the rum demon from the Buckeye State and the Nation by going from public place to public place and conducting gospel prayer meetings within the exact pre- clnCts of hte 'pubs,' calling upon the Deity to ban1Sh the same without waiting for statutory enactment by either Nation or State
 Maj Haynes, who will succeed John r. Kramer, will represent the drastic blue-laWs element of America, positive ly believing that mans appetite should be strenuously ''curbed" i'll the interest of the taxpayer and larger rprOperty OWn- CTS of the State and Nation, who fur nish the living wage.'
 Maj Haynes sponsors have no apology to offer for their position, economically or politically, being true descendants, they i say, of the female crusaders who emerged | from the church prayer sessions of all | of HillSbOrO' and ChilliCOthe churches nearly 50 years ago, intent upon reform ing the Nation by most drastic means. Mai Haynes owes his appointment to the decided influence of the National An | tisaloon League, led by United States Senator Frank B. Willis, formerly gov- ernor of Ohio; Wayne B. Wheeler, gen. eral counsel for the National Antisaloon | League; and J. A. White, State of Ohio | superintendent of the same organization all practical politicians of the anti-saloon crusade in it's modern form, the out growth of the early Mother Thompson crusaders.
 The movement to seat Maj Haynes i'll the chief executives chair of the Federal prohibition organization began immedi- ately upon the advent of the Harding Ad- ministratiOn at the White House.
 Haynes has been the cornnandant of a military school and was disciplinarian of the exact type.
 The sons and daughters of the od-ti1ne crusaders heartily felt that he was ft- ted to enforce blue law having Federal
 
 descendants soon united III their choice ot their toWnsman, the editor of the favorite newspaper the Hil1sboro Dispatch, whose daily editorial evidenced his strenuosity | of prohibition sentiment and likely ability as a true moral crusader.
 Haynes attitude as a truly ultra dry fitted in with those of the National Anti saloon Leagues early fnuancial founders of Cleveland, as we'll as with those of the present publicly known heads of the Ma tional Antisaloon League.
 Favor was soon secured looking toward his selection as a death stroke to the | growing liberal element, which IS SC openly dissatisfied with the VOlstead law and to the -substantiated reports of the making of many multimillionaires re- gently by both illicit liquor traffickers as well as prominent city moonshiners. The women crusaders of 1873 in Ohio represented later by the Wonan's Christ ian Temperance Union, and today by the National Antisaloon League, with its Well-nigh perfect political and highly financed machinery, has unquestionably at last and truly a personal crusader and commandant with full police power of the United States Government at his com mand to search for and seize whatever and wherever 1t designates as contraband
 Maj Haynes is the true type of a small town citizen man of family, con- servative churclman, rigid disciplinarian and crusader by heart.
