KENDNICK WANTS BUTLER
Mayor of Philadelphia Asks Presi-
dent Coolidge to Extend Gen'l
Buffers Leave of Absence
for Two More Years

Mayor Kendricl of Philadelphia on Oc-
tober so asked President Coolidge to per-
NIT Brigadier General Smedley D. Butler
of the marine corps to remain as Phila-
delphia's director of public safety for an
other two years. Governor Pinchot of
Pennsylvania recently made a similar re-
quest.
The mayor said retention OF General
Butler for two more years was necessary
because of the sesqui-centennial celebra-
ton and other gatherings to be held in
Philadelphia during that period requiring
efficient police regulation. Mr. Coolidge
took the recommendation under advise
ment and has not yet indicated what his
decision shall be.
An appeal to the Sunday school super
intendents of Philadelphia to aid in re-
tanning General Butler as director of pub
lie safety of Philadelphia has been made
by Thomas B. Taylor, chairman of the
Methodist Mems Committee of One Hun
dred. On November l Mr.. Taylor sent
a telegram to about 1900 superintendent
of all denominations in which he urged
them to petition President Coolidge indi-
yidually and on behalf of their Sunday
school scholars to permit General Butler
to remain for another two years as Phila-
delpha's police head.

A MESSAGE FROM MISS COR
DON, PRESIDENT WORLD
w. c. T. u.

Too many of Gods watchmen and
workmen today are sleeping on
guard. We need a spiritual arouse
ment-a revival of old-time religion.
The Light that lighteth every man
that cometh into the world alone can
lead us to national and world vic
tory. We need to realize the gray
ity while we praise God for the
glory of the present situation. Fed
eral prohibition, not yet six years
old, has vastly benefited health,
wealth, the home and the child. A
dry White House, dry Congress,
dry enforcement officials, with the
cooperation of the church, the dry
forces and patriotic citizens, stead
lastly will maintain the Eighteenth
Amendment and the Volstead Code.

account those who are elected directly by
the people to administer and enforce the
law That means, in the municipality, the
mayor, the prosecutor and the justices; in
the county, it means the sheriff, the
county attorney, the commissioners and
the judges. In the state it means the
governor, the attorney general and the
state judges. But in the federal govern
ment it means just one mantle Presi-
dent OF the United States. He is the only
person (aside from the vice-president) in
the entire executive and judicial depart
ments of the federal government, elected
directly by the people, and therefore re-
sponsible to the people. Moreover, he is
the only person charged by the Constitu-
ton of the United States with preserving
protecting and defending the Constitu-
ton. He is the only person designated
by the Constitution to execute the laws
of the land. The Constitution OF the fed
eral government specifically says The
executive power shall be vested in a Pres
ident of the United States of America
the laws be faithfully executed
The primary function of the President
of the United States is to enforce the law
For that purpose he has given to him by
the Constitution the entire machinery of
the executive department of the govern
ment and the supreme command of all
that there is of federal police power as
we'll as of the army and the navy. The
President of the United States is the most
powerful official of the government. He
is probably the most powerful official of
the world. Does anyone really believe
that if the President of the United States
were to proceed under the execution of
his full power to bring that power to bear
in all its meaningfulness, that the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law could not be
transformed in forty-eight hours?
Where Do We Go From Here?
when the temperance people of this
nation come to the full realization of these
facts and when they arrive at the place
where they are determined to hold to re-
sponsibilty the directly responsible Off
Gals of the government, the Eighteenth
Amendment to the federal Constitution
and the prohibtory law of the nation will
be adequately enforced.
"The vital question for the prohibition
forces of the United States is not, what
have we done, nor even, where do we
stand? The vital question is, in what di-
rection are we moving? Where do we
go from here?'
"The Christian churches of the United
States are maintaining $4,000 missionaries
in the foreign mission fields, spending on
that work in those fields over forty mil
lion dollars each year. Most of the activ-
tiles of that gigantic Christian undertake
ing are going forward in Asia, Africa and
Latin-America. The Entertainments and
penetration of European and American
liquor interests are today threatening the
very destruction of that great work to
which American churches for almost
century have been devoted Among the
people in these several countries to be af-
fected there are over six hundred millions

SACRAMENTAL WINE ABUSES

Celebrating on a statement made in an
address before the New York Pharmaceu-
teal Conference, General Lincoln An
drews in charge of prohibition enforce
ment in the United States, said the sacra-
mental wine store was one of the chief
sources of the illicit liquor supply and
that he intended to concentrate the efforts
of his force for time upon such places as
well as upon the whisky distillers and dis
pensers of industrial alcohol.
He assured the druggists that their ap-
parent sincere determination to "clean
house" would receive his hearty coopera-
ton, but warned them that the bootleg
druggist" could not be eliminated without
unpleasant" and "honest-to-God' effort.

good people who make possible the boot
logger, | would deport from this country
all aliens who are convicted of violation
of the law"
Mr.. Volstead said many persons have
an erroneous notion that merely purchas-
ing illicit liquors for home consumption
is not an offense. 1t is this class of peo-
pie, he added, that the people who pro-
pose to uphold the Constitution" should
now go after.
The burden of his argument was that
it is now up to the Anti-Sa1oon League
forces to wipe out the demand, and this,
it was positively stated, can be done by
enforcing a provision already in the Vol
stead law
Wheeler Brings Audience to It's Feet
DIR. Wayne B. Wheeler, general coun-
sci for the League, brought the big audi
ence to its feet and elected rounds of APP
plause with his vigorous report of prog
ress made and appeals for continued and
renewed activity against the attacks of
the liquor interests. He declared that the
Zine in Washington" will not only be
held but strengthened.
He was SO certain of the defenscs at
Washington, he said, that he was ready
to announce the further program which
Congress will adopt at the instgation of
the dry forces
The outstanding feature of this will be
the placing of all enforcement officers UNI
der civil service, he said.
Then in an old-fashioned evangelical
speech, in which the Rev. Sam Small
joined with a vociferous "amen," Mr..
Wheeler said:
1--WE are going to take the enforcement
of this law out of politics." There was
chorus of "amens"

to the convention said:
"If anything is wrong with federal en-
forcement of the prohibition law the fault
lies with the President of the United

THE question is will the public Off
