l. Believing that Imprisonment and fines
are necessary for the suppression of gam
bling, bootlegging and the enforcement of
the traffic laws, the Montgomery County
Anti-Saloon League, in quarterly meeting
assembled at Potomac this 7th day of De-
cember, desires to express our cordial thanks
to Judge Edward C. Peter for his announced
intention to impose imprisonment as well
as fines for all violations of the laws here
after committed in his court. We also
recommend that Judge Riggs take similar
action in the Police Court. We extend our
thanks to Sheriff Moxley and Mr. Cooley
for their earnest efforts to enforce the law.
2. We further urge that each member
of the League combat all misleading and
untrue statements being made by the
press and persons which are injuring our
cause.
AS tribute to the memory of friend
and co-worker, Mr.. Frank Higgins, the
League observed a memorial service. in
which his work for the county and in the
League was reviewed. His activity when
a young man in helping to secure the local
option law for the county. his identified
ton of himself with the Prohibition party
is an expression Of his loyalty to princi-
Piles that were to become the greatest Of
moral issues in our country and in the
world. He loved to see and enjoy the re-
ward of much that he had helped to sew
reaped in full harvest. Nov that the
laborer's work is DER" and his battle day
is past, we must take up the task where
he left off and 60 on until the world goes
dry, believing with him who said,
There is no death. the stars 90 down
To rise upon some fairer shore.
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forever more.
There is no death. an angels form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread,
He bears our beloved ones away
And then we call them dead.
Born into that undying life,
They leave US but to come again.
In all, in everything the same.
Except in grief and pain.
And ever near. though unseen.
The dear immortal spirits tread.
For all the boundless universe is life.
There are no dead"
