FAKE STORIES PASS AS NEWS
Imaginative Writers Tell of Rum
Running Before Summer Home
of President Coolidge

One day recently newspapers OF the
country carried vived pen story detail
ing the operations of fleet of rum boats
off the coast OF Massachusetts in full
view of the summer home of President
Coolidge.
The story told how the President could
watch the maneuvers of the coast guard
which were attempting TO intercept them
and prevent them from landing their
cargo This fairy tale also said that the
President had instructed Secretary Weeks
to increase efforts to clear that part of
the coast OF rum runners.
The President himself authorized a de-
NAL OF the fake story and declared it to
be without foundation
The report OF the coast guard official
was to the effect that there was no activ-
ity on the part of liquor boats along that
section of the water front.
Another hot weather story which ap-
peared about the same time was to the
effect that fleet of rum runners had ap-
pcared on Lake Ontario and that a quar-
ter of million dollars cargo of booze was
about to make a dash for the United
States border. This story was also with
out foundation. However, announcement
was made about the same time that Gen
eral Andrews was preparing to operate II
vessels on the Great Lakes to rid the
waters of Canadian booze This last
story is correct The imaginative writ
ers confused rum chasers with rum run
ners.
And there is about as much truth in
these tales as the stories one sees in the
papers about the enormous amounts of
illegal liquors disposed of by bootleggers
and rum runners.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
international Aspects of Alcohol
Problem to be Discussed at
Geneva Meet in September

Preparations are being made for the
International Conference upon Alcohol to
be held in Geneva on the 1st, End and 3rd
of September next. This conference is
convoked by the International Bureau
Against Alcoholism in agreement with the
World League Against Alcoholism. The
three questions to be discussed are the
following:
CD The present alcohol regime III the
colonies of equatorial Africa
(2) The fight against smuggling by
means of international conventions.
(3) How to avoid the conflicts which
have arisen of late years between alcohol
exporting countries and nations which
have taken prohibitive or seriously re-
strictive measures against alcohol.
The most eminent temperance workers
III most European countries and in the
United States have already announced
their intention to participate in this con-
ference. Among those invited to the con-
ference are the General Secretariat of the
Leagueof Nations, the International La
Dor Office, the International Red Cross
Committee, the League of Red Cross So
cieties, several great missionary societies
and the governments of Europe, of the
United States and the British dominions.

REFLECTS NATIONS PROSPERITY
Banks and Building and Loan Com
panies Conserving Much Money
Formerly Spent for Booze

This is not big business summer,
judging from what one hears on the
streets and in business circles. Yet the
banks are full of money according to the
national bank reports under the call of
June 80.
For example, resources, deposits and
undivided profits of the large New York
institutions exceed the previous high to-
tails of 1910 and 1920 which were recog-
nized as boom years. In Chicago state
and national banks showed a combined
increase in deposits of $l27,000,000. The
deposits of the National City Bank of
New Y ork, the largest in the country, ex-
coed $900,000,000 for the first time The
state banks have more money than ever
before The building and loan associa-
ations are breaking all records
This money is not the property of these
financial institutions. 1t belongs to the
people and reflects great and general pros
perity. Prohibition is responsible in no
small degree for this evidence of growing
wealth. Prohibition brings efficiency and
thrift and while the people are spending
money, many of them in prodigal man
ner, they are saving more than ever be-
fore. From an economic standpoint as
well as all others, prohibition is the coun-
try's greatest asset

OFFICIALS IN AGREEMENT
Friction in Dry Law Enforcement
Denied; Reorganization Plan
In Effect August

Reports of friction between Assistant
Secretary Andrews of the Treasury De
partment and Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Blair over personnel and procedure
in the reorganization of the prohibition
enforcement agencies OF the government
were denied on July 8.
One question of difference was said TO
be the method Of issuing permits for the
withdrawal of industrial alcohol. It is
stated that this authority will be vested
in the federal prohibition administrators
who are TO be placed under federal en-
forcement forces in the % judicial districts
in the near future, and that they would be
held personally responsible for this adj
ministrative work subject to supervision
from Washington III order to maintain a
consistent policy throughout the coun-
try on this subject.
Agreements on details concerning both
personnel and procedure were reached at
this conference which will enable Secre-
tary Andrews TO give his exclusive time
to the selection of the p federal admins
traitors who will be in direct charge of ali
field operations hereafter. By August
it is expected that the administrators will
be on the job engaged in perfecting their
own local organizations.

CANADIAN ALE SEIZED
Would Bring $4,000 in Retail Trade;
Was Shipped as Consignment
of Electrodes

On July g. 10000 pint bottles OF Fon-
tenac ale, manufactured in Canada and
shipped to Pittsburgh as consignment
of electrodes, were seized in the Penn
sylvania railroad yards, Pittsburgh, by
prohibition officers. 1t is estimated that
this quality and quantity of ale disposed
of in retail trade would bring more than
$4,000. The customs seals placed on the
car when it passed over the border and
when it re-entered the United States in
Dictated, according to prohibition authori-
ties, that the car passed through Canada
without being molested. The prohibition
authorities believed that the car did not
contain contraband when it left Chicago
but was loaded with the ale somewhere
between Windsor and Black Rock.

BLIND PIG DEFINED BY eta. U.
Union of Illinois Calls Upon Mem
bers to War on Bootlegging;
Reminds Them of Pledge


ton committee, headed by John F. Cum
neen, presented the following resolution:
The Catholic Total Abstinence Union
of Illinois in convention assembled calls
upon its members To remember the pledge
they took when they joined the organiza-
tion-a pledge TO not only be total alb
stainers, but also to discountenance the
drinking customs of society.
Scripture says:
PAY thy vows to the most High
rs. 1914.
No man putting his hands to the pillow
and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom
of God. Luke 9:62
We commend officials of city, county.
state and nation who stand by their oath
of Office
Scripture says:
If any man make a VOW to the Lord,
or bind himself by an oath: he shall not
make his word void, but shall fulfil all
that he promised. Numbers 1913
For man swear by one greater than
themselves and an oath for confirmation
is the end of all their controversy
Heb. 6:16
Let there be no surrender to anarchists
and murderers by men sworn to uphold
the law. Do not let the bootlegger and
blind pig keeper rule this land of ours.
The blind pig, like the saloon, is place
where men, women and children, having
the necessary money, get drink-and get
drunk. 1t is school wherein husbands
and fathers learn to be at ease about i'll
clad and ill-fed wives and children, and to
fling away those airy notions called hon
est pride and 1audable ambition, for the
sordid qualification of their appetites and
sensible feeling good all over 1t is
school wherein also wives and mothers
learn to get their husbands honor and
their own, and to steel their hearts against
the cries of neglected little ones. 1t is
school wherein sons learn to despise the
quiet pure joys of home, to become vile in
word, in act, in aspiration, and to fetter
themselves body and soul with the drink
demons chains 1t is a school wherein
daughters learn the shortest way to break
their parents hearts, to think blush
weakness, to prize drink more than de-
cency, to become viler than the mud in
the city's streets.
The blind pig, like the saloon is the
friend of the drunkard, the gambler, the
prostitute, the blasphemer, the profaner
of Sunday, the corrupt politician, the bal
lot-box suffer, the repeater" the law
breaker of every name.
The blind pig is, in a word, the friend
of all that is evil, of naught that is good.
1t de6les all that it touches. 1t makes
the good bad and the bad worse. Like a
vulture, it thrives on carrion; cholera-like,
it feeds and fattens on physical and moral
dirt, disease and degradation. 1t breaks
hearts, wrecks homes, infects society, be-
trays the state, and is the foremost ally of
the devil against the church and God
1t is the "vestibu1e of hell" Read over
