the vets who showed un~
restrained cagerness to

Many Of these witnesses
were men grown gray III
the service OF the old liz
ccnscd liquor traffic, men
who had given unstintcd
service in fighting every
proposed law designed to-
control the traffic in the
days OF license. They
proudly related the suc-l
cessful evasion OF the law
by the vets and offered
these cYasions as their
strongest argument why
the law should be re-
pealed. It is gratifying
to know that the governs
ment's answer is re-
doubled activity against
the law yiolators."
u. S. District Attorney
Olsen Says Laws Can
Be Enforced
In striking contrast to
the position taken by Dis
trict Attorney Buckner OF
New York that the law
can't be enforced, is the
attitude Of United States
District Attorney Olsen
OF Chicago, who made
the positive declaration
that the law can be en-
forced and is being en-
forced in his district. Mr..
Olsen said: The things
that are required for en-
forcement are the elini-
nation OF politics and
honest, Whole-hearted COS
operation Of federal, state,
county and municipal au-
thoritieS. There are too
tnany good fellows hold
ing down enforcement
jobs and not enough real
fellows"
Mr.. Olsen told the COM
mittee that if there were
any teeth in the Nolstead
act that he had not used
he did not know of them,
and added that he would
welcome action of Com
gress putting more teeth
into the law.

Says He Didn't Refer to
Students

Students
In reply to this protest
from the student body
DR.. Church makes the
lame statement that he
was referring not to the
students of Carnegie In
stitute but to young peo-
pie generally. The Pitts
burgh Gazette Times in
an editorial commenting
upon the statement made
by DR.. Church, says:
1t doesn't put him in
any better case to have
it believed that he does
not charge our students
alone with flask toting
and liquor bibbing, but
condemns young peo-
pie generallyV for these
things, since this in
cludes the students.
Church Refuted l.y Baird
Later in the week Fred
erick {. Baird, prohibit
ton administrator for the
western Pennsylvania dis

committee and refuted the
statement made by DR..
Church that the enforce
ment department was en-
ploying students to spy

Premium books Of the Montana
State Fair which will be at Helena,
September 9th to 11th, have been
mailed to all exhibitors of former
years, to county agents, commits
siOners, banks and others inter-
ested throughout the entire state
Of Montana. The books had hardly
time to reach their destinations
when the State Fair office received
an entry in the agricultural diVi-
sion, indicating the keen interest
in the State Fair of 1925. The
Montana State Fair offers the
largest premiums in the North
west. The management this year
increased the premium and prizes
approximately ten per cent in all
divisions.
Every Indication points to a great

been held. The officials are of the
opinion that a larger number Of
counties than ever will enter in the

2 Ur8uIime Sisters

Early-Day Service

Two Ursuline nuns Of prOmi-
nenCe in that sisteFhOOd, one of
whom is very well known and be-
loved in Montana through her ear
Her labOrs, recently visited Glacier
park. They are Mother Elizabeth
and Mother FideIis of the New RO-
chelle college, Long Island.
Mother Elizabeth found friends at
Glacier park, among those she had
known in the years she was located
in this state. She was first at St.
Peters mission in Cascade county
about 25 years ago, where she re-
mained for a number of years, and
from there she went to the st. Igna-
thus mission in the Flathead valley
Both sisters were en- route from
New York to st. Ignatius, having
stopped off at the Holy Family mis-

(Bv MRS. M. e. PLAssDTANN)

IN HE question is being discussed
in the columns of the Montana
- Woman, whether women should
serve as jurors. Mrs. Harvey Colt,
head of the department Of legislation,
has asked for the opinion Of several
prominent men on the subject, and
Che answers submitted differ in
their conclusions, as might be expect
ed. One advances the argument
that women are already being taken
too much from the home; jury ser
vice will be of no benefit to women,
but rather the reverse, and that
sometimes it might prove embarras-
sing to them.
Nothing is said about the embar-
rasing situation of women, innocent,
as we'll as guilty, who are forced to
appear i ncOurt where the jury is
made up exclusively Of men.
When women accepted the ballot,
they took upon themselves the du-
ties which go with it. One of these
being their liability to serve as jur-
Ors. The argument that it would
take them from home, applies with
equal force to church attendance. To
be sure, the police do not compel
them to go to church, but they may
feel it obligatory, just the same.
Mr.. John Matthews, of Helena
sensibly concludes that "Jury ser
vice is not a privilege accorded, but
a duty imposed upon the citizen il
return for the protection afforded
such citizen under the law" And
again, "In other words, I believe
that, as we have reached a stage o.
enlightenment wherein the acciden
Of sex is not considered as affecting
che equality of men, using the wore
in it's generic sense, no citizen shoulC
be required to labor under any ad
vantage"

Madam Schumann-Heinck always
receives a cordial welcome in Mon
tana. Wherever she goes, she wins
the love of her audiences. While in
Billings, she sang for the children Of
the Orthopedic hospital, contributing
her services. This noted singer is
touring the country to raise funds
for disabled veterans, for whom she
is the official Mother" She came
to Montana this year, after opening
the sixth national convention of
wounded veterans, at Atlanta.
The mammoth Semi-Centennial
edition of the Butte Miner is filled
with valuable historical infOrma-
ton, and is prOfusely Illustrated. POr-
traits of prominent men of Butte
adOrn almost every page. The dress
of men changes little with the pass
ing years, but in many of these pic
lures the faces are partially con-
cealed by a luxuriant growth OF
beard, and look strangely when com
pared with the smooth faces of the
men of today.
In all this great edition there are
no women pictured except in groups
yet it is safe to say that women con

and prosperity Of Butte as did tn,

I The proposed amendment to the
constitution, which Is expected to
create a storm between the opposing
wings of the convention. as 1t was
introduced at the last general con-
vention, reads:
"A Baptist church, as defined for
the purposes OF the bylaws. Is one
accepting the New Testament as its
guide and composed only Of baptized
believers. baptism being by INNER
sion."
This is the amendment which is
being sponsored by the strict funda-
mentalists, particularly by those men,
bers of the Baptist Bible Union OF
North America who are also members
of the convention.
DIR. Brougher was among q group
of members Of the Northern Baptist
Church commonly called "middleof-

mentalists say. would leave the way

mittee reported the following state

Y, M. c. A. POLICIES.
Rev. Dr.. Riley Tells Baptist
Union Association Is
"Enemy of God."'

A sudden and vitriolic attack on
the Y. NJ. c, A., charging 1t with
being "one of the greatest enemies
of the Christian church." delivered
by Rev. DR.. Riley of Minneapolis.
vice president OF the convention.
last night brought the fourth annual
convention of the Baptist Bible
Union of North America to a stormy
close.
The sensational charge came ais
the climax Of a day In which noted
fundamentalist leaders of the Bap-
list Church hurled outspoken charges
of materialism and rationaiism at
"the Rockefellers, the DR.. Harpers'
and other forces of liberalism in the
church. DIR. John Roach Straton.
noted crusader for orthodoxy. and
DR.. Frank NJ. Goodchild. both Of New
York, spoke.
Fight Planned at Farley.
Though the regular sessions of the
union ended last night, an active
organization will be maintained
throughout the six day sessions of
the General Convention of the North
ern Baptist Church. Dew. DR.. T. T.
Shields of Toronto. Canada. presi-
dent of the union, announced that
nightly meetings of the union would
be held at the Raleigh Hotel.
DR.. Riley made his charge last
night virtually without an introduc-
tory remark:
II regret deeply having to speak
against institutions that ! once loved
and in which i have myself served
for many years. But the Young
Mems Christian Association has be-
become Independent of the church
administration and has departed in
spirit and purpose from which 1t was
intended for,
ut has become a veritahle enemy
of God and constitutes one of the
greatest enemies of the Christian
Church today"
= Instantly q murmur of protest
swept the auditorium, and a great
shout of MOI" burst from angry
throats.
Shouts His ReiteratiOn.
Hesitating for q second. DR.. Riley
shouted a reiteration of his charge,
and as the audience calmed down eX-
planned his complaint against the
Y. NJ. c. A, this time including the
Y. w. c. A.. by saying no halls were
provided in the "Y" buildings where
appeals for salvation of souls" could
be made. This brought a heavy
round OF applause. DR.. Riley then
modified his statement to make
some exceptions among the y. NJ.
c. AS to his charge of being anti
Christian, and said Il don't aim TO
condemn the "Y" as such, but for
what it has grown to be. 1t is not
responsible in itself. even for its ex-
istence. We church folk brought it
into being. We must admit that 1t
has missed the. way. 1t has missed
the way because the church has neg
lected 1t.
THE Y. NJ. and the Y. w. no longer
are essential organizations. There is
but one institution which God put
into the world. and that Is the church.
The church that is rightly conducted
will have work for all the young men
of the church family. and the church
that is rightly conducted will have
work for the young women to do"
He described at length a situation
in which he said denominational
schools were forced to teach liberal
istic and materialistic doctrines and
hypothesis in order to get gifts Of
money from the "Rockefellers Of the
Nation"
At the conclusion of his address,
which was a philippe against the
spread of modernism in denomina-
