with the increasing number of viola
tons.
If the state courts would tackle tn,
prosecutions there would be relief fol
the federal judiciary which is always
busy with vital matters relating Il
other laws.
But state courts are influenced by
politics 10 some extent and local dis
trict attorneys are elective officers
while federal attorneys are appointed
by the President.
Local politics has much TO do with
the yigor of lack OF yigor of local
officials.
And this runs down through the
police systems Of the states, cities and
towns.
Effort to Build Sentiment.
What has been attempted here to-
day is therefore not formula for
practical cooperation but an effort
TO build 4 sentiment for law enforce
ment.
Without the will to enforce on the
part of local officials there will not be
any effective enforcement, no matter
what advice is given by the federal
government TO the states or vice versa.
In order to show that the purpose
of the conference was more than the
effectiveness of a single law. but the
broad subject of law enforcement. the
immigration and anti-narcOtic laws
were up for discussion.
The conference had but few hours.
The federal government took up
most of the time with speeches from
the President and departmental Off
,ers.
A half a day was given to it all.
The purpose was publicity for law
cnforcemcnt-an appeal to public
opinion.
The real work Of cooperation must

paign Committee Plans
to Finish Work.
MAKE A STATEMENT
Not Only Climate and
Playing Facilities Are
Exploited.

A concerted effort will be made b.;
the committee seeking to raise the
100000 advertising fund with which
to put San Antonio on the map
this week, according to Robert o..
Huff, chairman. and it is confidently
believed that the entire amount will
have been subscribed by next Saturday
night.
The Greater San Antonio Publicity
Committee has adopted for its slogan
next week Over the Top" and mem
bers of the committee express conf
dence that little difficulty will be
encountered in raising the remaining
money.
1t is believed that $4,000 will be
in the fund by Wednesday. since ther"
are several subscriptions which will
be increased. Also. it is possible that
at least one large fund will be added
within the next two or three days.
Following the receipt of numerous
inquiries Of late asking just how the
money will be used to advertise the
city. Mr.. Huff issued statement Sat
urday night.
Covers Every Phase.
'Some people have the idea that
we are just exploiting our climate
and playing conditions said Mr..
Huff. They are wrong in this
thought. Every classification of busi-
ness, undertaking. investments, farm
ing. industrial and real estate oppor-
tunities are being covered in the Sc
rics of advertisements which are ap-
caring in tla len1insr northern m t.
crn and western newspapers in addi-
ton to the climatic conditions which
are conducive to outdoor sports
throughout the winter.

Nothing whatever will be sighted
in our efforts to make San Antonio

tinued Mr.. Huff. I'VE have worked

Every activity which abounds here will
be thoroughly exploited. We have not
raised the entire fund as yet. but If

More Calls for Needle and
Thread Than for Ice Wa
ter at Convention Hotels.
RY LEE OyERNIAN,

I'Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 20.-Tht
American Legion is growing by leaps
and bounds. both numerically and 9th
erwise. 1t is growing so fast that most
of its former lean and svelte type
doughb0ys will soon have to lay aside
their old uniforms in favor of new
ones with greater interior parking
space.
Most of the $4,000 delegates who
participated in the galaxy of parades
stages here during the national con-
vention this week showed consider
| able bullying at the seams. The expan-
sion within the order is so great that
local hotels all report that there were
more emergency calls for needle and
thread than there were for ice water.
Numerically, the legion also is
growing proportiOnately Organized
in 1919 with an initial membership
of 1912, the membership rolls of the
organization have passed the 1000
008 mark. Including members. their
wives, relatives and swecthearts. Off
cials Of the organization place the
total voting strength Mt twelve million
enough to make either of the old
political parties sit up and take no.
tice.
Much Internal Strife.
Like the Grand Army of the Re-
public. which for almost dozen years
after the end of the war between the
states developed so much dissensiOn
within its ranks that it had but little
political entity. the Legion also may
let several years elapse before it as
sumes the powerful influence in politi-
cal and civic affairs to which it is
entitled by its tremendous member
ship.
Inability of it's members to agree
on MANY important issues was demon
strated during the convention sessions
The organization is still badly split on
the question Of n soldier bonus. There
are both pro-bonus and anti-bonus or
CARNATIONS within the Legion. The
pro-bOnus element. however. is consid-
crably in the majority and due to the
fact that members of the women's
auxiliary are most solidly behind the
demands for at least some kind of adj
iusted compensation. the matter is cx-
pccted to be forced before Congress
again.
The Ku Klux Klan issue which
brought forth such n bitter fight in
the convention before resolution was
adopted putting the Legion on record
as against any organization fostering
racial. religious or class strife. is re-
garded nv the great majority Of L.
gion leaders to have been a tempest in
a teapot.
