ment is making such rapid strides that
that can only be matter of time.
The politicians are moving in the same
direction. Foremost among these is Mr..
Lloyd-George who since his return from
America has seldom missed an opportun-
ity of exherting British electors to keep
an eye on what he calls the American ex-
pertinent. AS one of the most response
bic leaders of the Liberal Party he can
not commit himself until he can commit
his party, but he leaves his hearers in no
doubt as to where his sympathies are.
Several Of the other Liberals share his
views. Mr.. David Grenfeil, one of the
Welsh Labor members, is continually and
openly advocating prohibition.
AS an indication of public opinion an
incident told me by Mr.. Hopkyn Morris
Is illumining. Mr.. Morris, a fortnight
ago, had to hurry off at very short no
tice to deputize colleague at a public
meeting at Dalwich, London Having no
time to prepare speech, he made an ex-
tempore speech on current politics and
strongly advocated the abolition of the
liquor traffic. He naturally expected in
such an audience to arouse fierce antag-
onism. To his amazement and his de-
light, it was that part of the speech which
excited most approval and the keenest
enthusiasm
The press has so far given little help;
but it is significant and satisfactory that
the newspapers now should show consid-
cradle hospitality to the subject of pro-
hfbition.

PROHIBITION ADVANCE IN BRITAIN
By ]. T. Rhys, Tw ickingham, England

Although the battle for prohibition in
Britain has not yet formally begun there
is an unmistakable Sound of a going in
the top of the mulberry trees" which is a
certain indication that the fight can not
be far off.
Slowly but steadily the religious lead
ers are coming to see that the problem
that has baIfled all Our statesmen can
ouly be finally solved by the abolition of
the traffic in alcohol. His Grace, the
Archbishop of Wales, in recent speech
said that the example set by America was
heroic, and he believed, unequalled. We
might not be used to the courage and adj
venture of Our younger selves, but it was
clear they must persevere with undimin-
ished resolution TO secure from Parliament
greatest evil of our day and generation
. He was prepared to support any
measure that they were all agreed upon"
The courageous declaration of the Arch
bishop, who is an octogenerian, has served
as splendid tonic to Responding temper
ance reformers. The Rev. T. z. Roberts,
MA, Moderator of the Welsh Calvinistie
Methodists, in a speech few days ago
declared that we must follow America.
We must plan out program and stick to
it until the goal is reached. DR.. William
Edwards, Cardiff, former principal of
the Baptist College, and an ex-president of
the Baptist Union, has likewise nailed his
coiors to the prohibition mast. Few of
the denominations have SO far committed
themselves to prohibition. but the move

BULGARIANS TALK TEMPERANCE
Hold Two Important Meetings at
Which Much Constructive Work
Was Reported

Two important temperance conferences
have recently been held in Bulgaria, the
one in Sophia and the other in Roust-
chuk-on-the Danube. The former was
the twenty-eighth annual meeting of the
Bulgarian Temperance Union and the lat
ter conference of Good Templars, the
Neutral Union of the Students, the Rail
waymen's Temperance Union, the Teach
ers' Temperance Union and the Physi-
clans Temperance Union.
The Bulgarian Temperance Union is
the Oldest temperance organization in
Bulgaria. M. N. Popoff was again elected
president of the Union Reports given at
the meeting indicated that much construc-
tive work for temperance reform has been
carried forward during the past year in
the distribution of temperance literature
and holding of temperance meetings in
scores of towns and villages throughout
the country.
The conference of the various temper
ance societies held in Roustchuk was =
great success indicative of the growing
sentiment in favor of temperance in Bul-
garia.

LEGAL NOTES
Edited Wheeler
and Edward B. Dunord Assistant

The act as passed by Congress does not
have the elasticity which was recon-
mended in the report of the committee of
judges and district attorneys and IS
rather cumbersome. 1t is condition
which should be remedied by legislation
in order to meet the conditions obtaining
in a few judicial districts.
A number of rather serious objections
were urged in 1921 against the federal
police court plan. Chief Justice Taft in
speaking before the Senate Judiciary
Committee said concerning it:
well, | should think it step of very
questionable wisdom to make SO many
inferior judges, justices Of the peace, or
police court federal judges, all over the
country"
The principal objections advanced at
that time we're that if the United States
commissioners were made judges, under
the Constitution they would have to be
appointed for life or during good be-
havior. 1t would have meant the crea-
ton of a number of permanent judicial
l'CN'AE'SaAs' y
1t was also suggested that such a system
would be very costly since it would re-
quire, in addition to the appointment of
judges, the appointment of a necessary
number of bailiffs and court attendants
to enable these inferior courts to function.
The attitude taken by judges, prosecut-
ing officers and members of Congress
generally, at that time, indicated that the
sentiment was against such plan There
have been no indications OF change in
viewpoint since. The conditions which
confornt the courts in New York, through
the failure of the state to assume its share
of the duty in the enforcement of the
Eighteenth Amendment, is one which
will doubtless be considered by Congress.

APPEAL TO CONCRECATTONALISTS
National Church Council Adopts
Resolution on Law Enforce
Inent

The National Council of the Congrega-
tional Churches in the United States in
session at Washington, adopted the fol-
lowing, presented by the law enforcement
commission of the Council:
In the long struggle OF the church
to abolish the liquor traffic we have
learned that it is easier to secure the
enactment of law than its enforce
ment. In view of the continued law
lessness OF that traffic, we appeal TO
our local churches and to all other
church bodies to cooperate in the
necessary educational work to build
public sentiment and to support faith
full public officials in their enforce
ment of the law.
In order that the day of general OBJ
servance of the Eighteenth Amend
upon all patriotic citizens in the lam
guage of President Coolidge, mot
only to obey the law but to let it be
known that they are opposed to its
violation"
In its report to the Council, the COM
mission called upon Christians to quit
smiling at those who faunt the prohibi-
ton law, to frown Enthusiastically upon
those who break the prohibition law, as
upon those who steal, and especially to
despise the selhshness of the well-to-do
who rejoice that the working man is COM
PEELED to be temperate, but indulge them
selves in the illegal purchase and con-
sumption of harmful intoxcants."

AUSTRALIANS CAPITAL DRY
New District Established Similar to Dis
uict of Columbia; Early Ordinance
Prohibits Liquor in Capital City

The Australian Parliament, for the first
time, is now sitting in the new capital
"city" of Cranberry, about half way be-
tween Sidney and Melbourne. Unable to
agree upon any city for the capital of the
Commonwealth. the people hit upon the
Washington idea and created capital
"city" in the wilderness. Nine hundred
square miles of territory was set apart for
the new capital, the capitol building itself
is now completed and the Parliament is
now in session.
The new district" or state" is under
the direct control of Parliament just as
the District of Columbia is under direct
control OF Congress.
Under the Seat of Government Act of
1910, this territory was set aside for the
purposes of federal state. The act itself
gave the governor general power to pro-
mulgate ordinances" which would have
the force of law, just as if they had been
enacted by Parliament itself One OF the
early Ordinances" enacted was one pro-
hibiting the liquor traffic, which ordinance
is still in force. 1t will also continue in
force until repealed or modified by Par
lament itself.
Not much attention has been paid to
the matter in the past for the reason that
not many people lived in the territory.
But now that the capital is actually estab-
lished and Parliament is in session, the
liquor interests are beginning to clamor
for the repeal of the obnoxious" ordi-
nance. On the other hand, the Austria
liam drys are combating the proposal
with much vigor.

law enforcement. but law observance il

Afforded Small
Liners By Review

Washington, Aug. 25 (AP) - AL
though conceding that the great
ocean liners, such as the Leviathan
and the Majestic, have their places
in the shipping world. credit for car
rying the bulk of the worlds ocean
commerce is given to the cargo liners
and tramps in a review made public
by the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
Tidewater Association.
The association made it's statement
as defense of the proposed St.
Lawrence ship channel project, de-
claring it was idle to suppose the
Leviathan and Majestic type of ships
would steam directly into the ports
of Duluth and Chicago.
Cargo vessels devoted to freight
service are rarely large, a majority
drawing less than 25 feet of water,
the statement said, adding that they
must be small enough to enter sew
eral ports at both ends of their jour-
ney to obtain full cargo. Counting
the numerous trips of express liners
to New York, the statement said, the
record of vessels engaged in foreign
! trade for 1922 shows that out of
S,526 inward and outward trips 70.7
percent were in vessels of less than
% foot draft and 93.S percent with
drafts under 80 feet.
, The large export vessels plying In
and out of New York and calling at
Boston are not necessary to the sue
cess of the st. Lawrence ship chan
nell the association continued. New
Orleans and Galveston have reached
great commercial Importance though
they can accommodate only light
draft vessels. 1t is an error to as
sumo that a 30-foot channel can be
navigated only by vessels drawing
less than 25 feet. Such conditions
are applicable only at entrance chan
nels of exposed ports. Vessels draw
ing 1914 feet navigate the 30-foot
channel to Houston. In the protect
ed waters of the Detroit and st.
Lawrence Rivers and in the st. Law

small ocean ships navigate the pres
ent 14-foot ST. Lawrence Canal

AT the ocean entrance of the ST.
Lawrence nature has provided depths
| ranging up to 100 fathoms. A 3O-foot
channel through the SO miles of canal
involved in the ST. Lawrence deyel-
opment will freely navigate vessels

! Perhaps you have visited on of
these caverns. There are several of
them in the United States; the most
famous being the one to which the
Wind Cave National Park, in South
Dakota. owes its name. A typical
blowing cavern has two openings at
different levels.
In summer the air in the cave is
colder and heavier than the air out
of doors, and therefore flows out of

circulation is reversed; the air in the
cave is warmer and lighter than that
outside, and escapes at the top as
from a chimney, being replaced by
air drawn in below.

many deaths from drowning could

the method. The colorless and odor-

Pearl Benboe
Grabs Her First
of Year at Cleveland

Cleveland, Aug. 25.-(AP)-Peari
Benboe, for which Tommy Murphy is
reputed to have paid $4,000. won her
first race of the year today, taking the
2.04 trot feature of the grand circuit
card at North Randall, by winning
from Marmaduke. 1t was the first split
heat affair of the season.
Marmaduke won the first heat and in
stepping the mile and an eighth IN
21S o-5 established new worlds
trotting record and equalled the pas
ing record held by Miss Car Moko.
The former trotting record was held
by Favonian, which was nosed out by
Marmaduke in the initial test.
The new mark was equalled later In
the day when Hollywood Jessie, winner
of the 2.14 trot, took the third heat.
The Cox mare also made good time in
the other two heats, trotting the three
quarter mile of the first within three
fifths of second, and the seven
eighths of the second within two-fifths
of a second of the worlds mark
