GOD IN AMERICAN
SOCIETY

Harry F.. Atwood says that the proud
est heritage Of this country is that all
through its history there has run, like
% golden thread, deeply religious
strain. "lt would seem,' he says,
"that our great leaders in the past
sensed the sublime truth which DR..
Frank Gunsaulus phrased so striking
ly: 'Statesmenship is seeing where al
mighty God is and then getting things
out of his way. The writer in q re-
markable little book complies the say
ings of many American statesmen tend
ing to prove that every one of those
whose names have been indelibly writ
ten in the history of their country,
have been devout men, relying at all
times upon the Divine guidance in their
work. Hear George Washington: "Of
all habits and customs leading to po-
litical prosperity, religion and moral
ity are indispensable supports. 1t is
substantially true that virtue or moral
ity is a necessary spring of popular
government.
And Alexander IIamiltoH 'The sac
red rights of mankind are not to be
rummaged for among old parchments or
musty records. They are written as

IL have lived, SIR said Benjamin
Franklin, "a long time; and the longer

see of this truth, that God governs the
affairs of men. And if a sparrow can
not fall to the ground without His
notice, is it probable that an empire
can rise without His aid? We have
been assured in the Sacred Writings,
that except the Lord build the house,
they labor in vain that build it, -
These words occur in speech made
by Franklin when the great men of the
time were in session trying to write the
American Constitution. They were
getting nowhere and Franklin was
deeply concerned about it, He told
them that without guidance from the
Almighty, they would fail in this polit-
zeal building just as those who were
building the Babel failed; "we shall
be divided by our little, partial, local
interests, our project will be confound-
ed, and we shall become Il reproach and
a by-word down to future ages. And
what is worse, mankind may here
after, from this unfortunate instance,
cispair of establishing government by
human wisdom and leave it to chance,
war and conquest. - And he moved that

The fete was at its height and
dozens of men and women were near by
when the assault occurred. About an
hour later detectives of the Wakefield
police station found two young men,
whom they took to the Office of AS

Wheeler Discredits Wet
Poll by Literary Digest
Insists Friends of Dry Law Take
Little Interest in Unsigned
Balloting on Question

From The T,tbumos Washington bureau
WASHINGTON, July 16.~The poll
taken by "The Literary Digest" on the
beer and wine amendment and pro-
hibition enforcement gives little basis
for any sound conclusion on this ques-
tion, Wayne B. Wheeler, general coun-
sci of the Anti~Saloon League declared
to-day.
Experience shows that the friends
of prohibition seldom respond to nows-
paper referendum polls, especially
since the ballots are unidentified and
unsigned" Mr.. Wheeler said. There
is no check on fraud or Irregularities.
The poll, however, indicates that In the
states where they have had experience
with beer and wine amendments by
state -widc referendum votes, like Ohio
and Michigan, the sentiment Is against
this scheme to defeat prohibition en-
forcement. Until the facts are brought
clearly home to the people they fail to
realize that beer and wine amend
ment means a notification Of the pro-
hibition law.
ain practically all of the dry states
where the people have voted on beer
and wine amendment after full dis
cussion in the campaign, the majority
has been greater against it than the
original vote for prohibition. An cleo
tion on this question is the only fair
test of sentiment. Unofficial refer
endum ballots represents only small
percentage Of the voters at best"

U. S. Ready to
Spring Trap ON
Liquor Trust
Arrests Of Men Involved in
$5,O0O,OOO Combine to
Release and Sell Wet
Goods Are Expected
Politicians May Figure
Government Employees Also
Said To Be Included i'm
a Gigantic Syndicate

Arrests are expected In New York
and FIVE other cities, 1t was learned
yesterday, in connection with an illegal
liquor trust, formed soon after prohibi-
ton went into effect, which is believed
to have succeeded in withdrawing
s5,000,000 of liquor on fraudulent per-
mits.
Federal detectives have suspected the
existence of the generously capitalized
syndicate for more than two years and
since the summer Of 1920 Colonel Ar
thur e. Earnshaw, head Of the Special
Intelligence Unit in Washington, has
been conducting an investigation.
Recently discovered evidence, it Is
tectives hopeful of completing their
task in the near future. They expect
to arrest not only the wealthy men
backing the scheme, but many of their
agents, and to discover evidence which
will lead to the arrest of powerful poll
ticians and of numerous government
employees.
Lowliest Snid to Have Paid
Tho politicians are said to have
banded together to levy tribute on the
bootleg syndicate and to have extended
their operations until not a bootlegger
in the country, however insignificant
and remote, failed to pay blackmail to
them Mountaineers in the Businesses
of Kentucky and West Virginia, who
made boiled corn whisky as had their
fathers and their grandfathers before
them without asking leave of the gov
eminent, are said to have been sought
out by the politicians and compelled to
make regular payments.
In return, the politicians are said to
have made it easy to obtain withdrawal
permits, to have aided in obtaining the
appointment of dishonest and greedy
men to posts in the prohibition en-
forcement forces and otherwise to have
facilitated the obtaining and market
ing of illicit whisky.
Even government employees who
were not the creatures of the political
blackmail ring were corrupted, it is
said, and employees of the Postoffice
Department and other government de-
partments, it is thought, will be ar
rested in numbers when the trap is
sprung.
See Trusts Hand in Theft
The original syndicate, backed by
the power of millions of dollars, is sus-
pected in some quarters of having in
spired and directed the theft of liquor

"The intent of Congress is clear"
the Attorney General said, ITO abolish
the business of the middleman or retail
distributor in sacramento wines, but
the intent is equally apparent to per-
nit the Church, if it agrees to assume
the responsibility through its duly au-
thorzed rabbi minister or priest, full
power to supervise the manufacture of
altar wines, and 1t is my opinion that
the specific grant Of the greater priv

carries with it the lesser privilege Of

from the nine army corps areas show
that young Americans are eager for
military training. applications for ad-
mission to the summer civilian military
training camps having swamped Off
Gals. In some areas applications are
no longer being counted, the number
received by June 80 showing that the
quota would be far exceeded long be-
fore the camps open on August /.
Indications are that more than Co.
600 young men will seek admission to
the camps this year. OF these, only
$4,000 can be accepted under appropria-
tons made available by Congress. The
War Department faces the necessity
of sitting out the applicants in order
that the most promising material may
