sion and a signal of distinction. He
saved the roof. The village was de-
stroyed.

CAMPAIGN RUBBISH

Political candidates VIGOROUSLY nervy lot
but the nervest thing they do paste their
faces and election appeals all over everything.
1t wouldn't be bad if the guilty individuals would
remove their part of the election advertising after cleo
ton And it might be expected that the losers would
do that for shanes sake if for no better reason Yet
the posters Of winners and losers alike nearly al
ways defacng walls windows fences, telephone poles
and trees for months and years afterWard, until kind
W patient nature finally washes them off and blows
them away.
There has been great deal of effort throughout the
country eliminate the commercial billboard evil and
much progress has been made in that matter. But
the no less offensive evil of messing the scenery
with campaign posters and banners is treated with
strange tolerance.
AS matter OF decent public housekeeping, there
ought to be some limitation OF the freedom with which
candidates and committees plaster the town with their
appeals. And certainly such privilege should be
granted except the pledge of responsible persons to
remove the campaign rubbish after election.

NO WORLD REVOLITTON

Bukharir one of the Communist leaders at Moscow,
opening q party convention admits that his group no
longer expects speedy world revolution. There are
Just two visible breaches in the capitalist system,
he says referring the miners strike in England and
the revolution in China, for both OF which ne takes u
necessary credit.
Otherwise, as he expresses il, capitalism has sue
ceeded since the in reaching relative stablllza-
ton Which that, after the widespread public
control of industries resorted to during the war, the
world has settled down c0ntentedy again in social
system based on private ownership of property.
The Communist program, he now announces, IS one
of 'watchfu waiting" That is better than program
of warfare propaganda and bribery. But the Musco-
vte dealiss will probably be watching and waiting
for lonq time before other nations swing into step
with them.
If Socialism IS to become the established order
it will come not in a sudden upheaval, the Moscow
vsonaries expected, but slowly and gradually that
transition will be almost unconscious. And if the
threatened change to in that fashion, IN

CHURCHES FOR LOCAL OPTION
Churches in England and Wales Uniting
for Local Option on Liquor
Issue

A special London cable to the Christian
Science Monitor, under dateline of June Il,
says that the Christian churches. for the
first time in the history of England, are
united upon a local option measure deal
ing with the liquor traffic. This was stated
at Methodist conference at Manchester
by Rev. ]. Hodges, who said that progress
i'll the past had been retarded owing TO
the division in opinion. The conference
passed a resolution asking the government
for early legislation to enable the people
of England and Wales to express their
wishes on the drink traffic and also urging
all churches to press this object upon par
liamentary candidates. The need for such
action is emphasized by the fact that
conference of Conservative clubs in Lon
don has exacted from Sir William Joyn-
son-Hicks, the home secretary, assurance
that its demand for an extenton of drink
ing hours in clubs has not been forgotten,
though no immediate action is to be taken.
It is hoped in temperance circles that
when the royal commission meets it may
have before it the results of the independ-
ent inquiry into the social and ECONOMIC
aspects of the drink problem now being
conducted by committee under Sir
Charles Harris

PROHIBITION ISSUE IN JAPAN
Drys Are Organizing to Win Law Ex-

An Associated Press dispatch, carrying
Toxic dispatch of June Il says that,
although the majority of the Diet declined
to approve at this session an amendment
to the liquor law so that sale OF intoxi-
cants would be outlawed to persons up to
the age of 25, drys are not discouraged
and prohibition is becoming big polit-

tions have Joined the campaign to raise

MED the right to buy Intoxicating drinks.
Many regard this maneuver as a step to-
ward complete prohibition.
At the next election approximately
II 100000 new voters will cast their first
ballot. Promoters of the move to amend
the present law, claiming 200 affiliated
organizations, say they will continue
their dry propaganda until election time.

DISTILLERS ACCUSED
Canadian Booze Makers Suspected OF
Contributing to Campaign
Funds

Now committee of the Canadian Par
lament is investigating the administration
Of the department of customs. The in
vestigaton has revealed that several of
the large distileries of Canada have con-
tributed big sums to campaign funds.
In several Canadian provinces there is
government control of liquor and quite
naturally the brewers and distillers have
set out to control the government. There
is nothing new in this. 1t is a natural
result. 1t was so in the United States,
the large distlleres of Canada have con-
tributed to campaign funds of parties and
candidates.
Not many years ago the federal court
in Pennsylvania fined the United States
Brewers Association $4,000 for corrupt
ing the politics in that state. Vets and
wet politicians are now clamoring for the
adoption of the Canadian plan in this
country. They want to return to the cor
rupting influence of liquor in politics.
Canada is clearly proving the evil effects
of government partnership with liquor.

Mr.. ]. w. Kline, head of the Interna
tional Brotherhood of Blacksmiths, re
Gently made the following statement il
relation to the enforcement of the prohi
bition law:
I have always opposed the dicts-
ton of the whisky dealers and the
brewers associations. They have never
respected nor obeyed any law which
interfered with their business, if they
could avoid it, and it is not strange
that they disrespect and violate the
Volstead law as it now stands. Would
they respect it if it was modified? [
think not. That very fact alone would
encourage them in their disrespect for
law.

REFORMED CHURCH WITH DRYS
General Synod of the Reformed
Church of United States Adopts
Resolutions Endorsing Law

The following resolutions were adopted
by the general synod of the Reformed
Church of the United States, in session in
Philadelphia, Pa, June |. Superintendent
Homer w. Tope, of the Anti-S Saloon
League of Pennsylvania, addressed this
synod, it being the first time an ANTI
Saloon League speaker has been invited
to address a general synod of the Res
formed Church.:
General synod recognizes and ups
holds the fundamental principles of re>
ligious liberty and private judgment. On
the other hand, we also believe that every
citizen ought to obey the laws of our
country and that these laws should be eng
forced by our authorities. Out OF the
fifty-eight classes OF our general synod
there are only two classes which have not
approved general synods action on tho
Eighteenth Amendment.
eve regret that these two classes did
not see their way clear also to approve
this amendment.
"As general synod We reiterate ou1
action on the Eighteenth Amendment, as
follows:
That general synod places on record
its conviction that even the partial en-
forcement of the Eighteenth Amendment
has proved a great blessing to many,
thousands of individuals and homes
throughout the land that it recognizes
with joy and growing sentiment in favor
Of the prohibition laws and the recogni-
ton that to be patriotic, 1aw-abiding
citizen means that all laws must ba
obeyed.
1T records its belief that the NQlstead
act is proper act for the enforcement 70
national prohibition and urges the mem
bers of our congregations to encourage
their representatives in Congress and in
State Legislatures to approve OF the con-
tnuance of this act, to aid If the passage
of proper laws for the enforcement of
prohibition and to oppose any proposed
measures designed to allow the sale of
wines and beers greater than one-half of
per cent.
I'VE express Our conviction that this
fundamental law on our statute books
should be obeyed by all members and en-
forced by all officers of the law for tho
good OF our beloved country"
