ENCOURAGED IN DRIVE FOR DEMOCRATIC

Washington, D. c., Oct. 2. -
The results of the state primaries,
che last of which have now been
held, have given Chairman Viii
Lam A. Oldfield of the Demo-
cratic National Congressional
Committee much encouragement
in his drive for Democratic con-
tIol of the next House, he an

Democrats have placed before the
country perhaps the finest, most
outstanding and most active can

Chairman Oldfield explained
that the drive for the biggest

"And we haven't had to worry

The Republican primaries, Mr..
Oldfield contended, brought about
widespread dissention, revealed

them to hold high office and the
danger of a Republican controlled

A Week
Committee Members Recommend That

Petitions are Sent to Mayor;
Executive Body to Act After
Conference With Min
"isterial Delegation.

First steps toward the opening of the
Sesqui-C Centennial International Exposi-
ton now being held in Philadelp hia, were
taken recently at a meeting Of the mem
bers of the Sesqui- Centennial Exposition
Committee, when that body voted TO
throw open the gates seven days a week
and referred the matter to the executive
committee which will appoint a commit
tee to confer with churchmen who have
opposed Sunday opening.
Joseph P. Gatfney, city solicitor Of
Philadelphia, gave an opinion that the
Sunday opening is net a violation OF law.
After citing numerous authorities he
said:
From these authorities and others
that might be cited, my conclusion is
that the Sesqui. Centennial EXPOSE
ton is not such an unlawful sport or
diversion as is contemplated by the act
of 1894"
The movement to have the Exposition
kept open seven days a week until the
closing date on December l was given
impetus recently when virtually all of
the business organizations and civic bod.
les petitioned Mayor Kandrick to rescind
the Sunday closing order. Prominent in
dividuaIs joined with the Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce and allied organ
ization in making the request.
1t was pointed out in the petition that
thousands of persons would be unable to
visit the exposition grounds except on
Sundays, due to the demands of their
employment.
Another reason put forth was that
many of the visitors to Philadelphia had
arranged their initiary-so that they could
spend Sundays in the Exposition grounds.

tive committee, the members will confer

h Fruit Grower

(From Annual Report, Commissioner
Of Agricuiture.)
Contrary to the conditions prevailing
in the coffee industry the fruit farms are
being handled mostly by the individual
growers who live on the farms them
selves. They live in comfortable dwellings
in many cases provided with all modern
conveniences. They have proved the
country a pleasant place to live in. The
growers are mostly continental Ameri-
cans who came to the Island years ago.
They represent a progressive element in
our agriculture.
The element of success in farming de-
ponds more on the farmer himself than
on any other single factor. The develop
ment of sour fruit industry has been due
in great part to the fact that the farmers
actually lived on the farms. Our native
farmers in general, present a marked
contrast with the continental fruit grow.
err. Our native farmer, as soon as the
farm begins to produce a fair income,
has a decided tendency to move TO the
town, to enjoy modern cOnveniences and
pleasures of life. Nothing could be more
detrimental to the development and
pros perity of our agriculture than this
attitude on the part of our farmers.
Our country conditions are ideal. There
is an excellent network of roads which
give easy access to every corner and
town Of the Island and the climate is
delightful. In fact, there is scarcely a
place in the tropics with country life con-
ditions approaching ours. 1t ought to be
a subject of pride to all of US to live on
an island like Porto Rico. Country life
can be easily made pleasant and comfor-
table; and it will pay the farmer to at
tend personally his own affairs rather
than leave them in the hands of a mayor
domo.
Any movement made by the Govern
ment to facilitate and improve conditions
in our rural sections will be of the utmost
benefit. Consolidated schools, demon
s"tration farms, %vecinal roads, anemia
dispensaries, all of these improvements
must be continued in order to give strong
support and encouragement to our rural
population.
The fruit growers has set an example
worthy of praise and imitation. He has
proven in practice that a man can be a

LIVE INTEREST IN PROHIBITION EVERYWHERE
Representative World Against Alcoholism Finds
of
Home After More Than Year Spent Working Abroad

Rev. T. J. Richardson who spent ff-
teen months in England with excursions
into European countries in the interest
of the World League Against Alcohol
ism, arrived at his home in Westerville,
August Is, after having landed in New
York City a couple of days previously.
Reaching Columbus in the morning Of
the 18th, Rev. Mr.. Richardson was met
at the station by members of his family
and associates of his in the World
League Against Alcoholism. He was
taken to the Hotel Fort Hayes where a
luncheon was served in his honor Wei
coming addresses were made by Boyd P.
Doty, general counsel of the World
League Against Alcoholism; Rev. DR..
George II. Heller, representing the
churches of Westerville; Charles r. Ben
nett, secretary of the Westerville Cham
Der of Commerce; and the Rev. DR.. T. H.
Kohr, former Westerville pastor.
In his response Rev. Mr.. Richardson
told of experiences abroad and spoke OPP
timistically of the progress that is being
made in all countries along temperance
lines.
Even the best regulation of the liquor
traffic abroad falls short of prohibition in
America, even though it is imperfectly
enforced, Mr. Richardson said.
Prohibition is on the march all over
the world" he asserted. The forces in
some countries may be little slow, but

CHEF And ADMINISTRATORS WILL CONFER
III Subjects Relating Discussion in SxDay
Meeting Andrews Expects Better Program Emerge AS Result
of Get-Together of Regional Officials in Washington

Each of the p administrators who di-
rect the field forces OF the federal prohi-
bition unit, have been instructed by their
chief General Lincoln c. Andrews, to be
in Washington, September 20, for con-
ference designed to bring about more eff
fective prohibition enforcement. The con-
ference will last six days and all subjects
will be thoroughly covered. 1t is indi-
Gated that as a result of the conference
plans may be evolved for partial reorgan-
izat;on of the regional system. The New
York Times says that indications are that
General Andrews will submit to the adj
ministrators his proposal for the creation
OF FIVE zones, each to be manned by an
officer who would exercise supervisory au-
thority over dry districts in his jurisdic
ton. 1t would be the duty of these re-
gional supervisors to act as liaison officers
between the field service and Washington
headquarters.
Complaint has been made by persons
having business with the field divisions
that there was lack of uniformity in
the practices that govern dry law enforce
ment. While the same regulations apply
generally throughout the country, there is
a variation of method that General An
drews will attempt to correct through the
medium of the conference, and probably
by the creation of five regional supervis-
ors to establish contacts in the various dry
districts and keep Washington advised of
what occurs in all of them.
While the authority of the Administra-
tors would in no wise be diminished, the
establishment of the FIVE supervisory zones

to some extent, would be a modification
Of the plan of decentralization installed by
General Andrews last October when he
abolished state lines and set up dry dis
tricts conforming to the line of the Fed
era1 Judicial Districts.
1t has been suggested that in certain
parts of the country the work OF supervi-
sion might be done by outside admins
traitors.
General Andrews conference with the
Administrators will be the first gathering
of the kind held for the benefit OF the field
forces of the Prohibition Unit.
General Andrews has conferred with
Administrators singly and in groups from
time to time, but he is hopeful that by
personal contact with them in a body he
will get a better line ON developments in
dry law enforcement.
The general expectation is that the con-
ference will be followed by renewed ac-
tivity in every dry district. General An
drews will order his field Administrators
to tighten up in their endeavors to put
bootleggers out of business.

III customs regulations were given suf-
fcient backing, laws could be operative
in twenty-four hours that would stop the
rum running business from Canada to the
United States, Ben H. Spence, director of
the Canadian prohibition bureau, is quoted
as saying in a Toronto news story to the
Detroit Free Press. Mr.. Spence was COM
menting on recent disclosures of liquor
smuggling along New York and Michi-
gan borders.
Customs regulatings, having the full
force of law, could be framed and adopted
by order in council within "a hours which,
if they would not Immediately stop rum
running, would put tremendous crimp in
the business Spence said.

Association Figures Show

Building and loan associations financed
at least 100000 new American homes DUR
ing 1925, yet they are not able to meet the
demands made upon them by prospec-
tive home owners, c. Clinton James,
Washington, D. c., told the United States
League of Local Building and Loan AS
sociations convention in Minneapolis, in
his annual report as president.
Twelve thousand and more building
and loan associations of the United States
with nearly 100000 members and a
little more than $5,500,000,000 in assets,
loaned for the purchase or construction
of new homes about $1,730,000,000," he
said. while the housing shortage Gre
ated by the war has been alleviated to
certain extent, it has not been fully met
and the building and loan associations
are still unable to fully supply the de-
mands which are made upon them for
loans for this purpose
There has been an increased demand
for funds for residential building, espe-
cially for homes of medium or low cost,
which is the class of construction largely
financed through the building and loan
association. Reports to the Department of
Commerce on business conditions as re-
ported in the printed survey of current
business, in the latter part of 1925, indi-

DIR. Charles w Elliot. president emer-
titus OF Harvard University and the dean
of education in the United States, is dead
at the age of %. His funeral was held in
Appleton Chapel of Harvard August 3.
Not only had DIR. Eliot been the pre-
mier along educational lines in this coun-
try for many years. but he had had the
good fortune to retain his mental and
physical forces TO the end. He was % years
old and almost up 10 the time OF his death
he was active in his chosen field.
For a number of years DR.. Eliot has
been noted as an advocate of prohibition
and total abstinence. Originally he did
not favor these measures, but his expert
ence, observation and research convinced
him that prohibition and abstinence were
the best policies. No sooner had he made
that discovery than he began to advocate
abstinence and prohibition with all the
vigor that he could command.
