BISHOP OF BOSTON SCORES DRY LAW
Declares Prohibition Is Detrimental to the Best
Interests of Country

LONDON, Oct. 7.-Scathing condemnation of prohi-
bition made by DIR. John G. Anderson, bishop of
Boston, Mass, during interview here.
Prohibition is attended with innumerable evils, and
is bound to have malevoent influence country

is detrimental to the best interests of country" the
Bishop added "The better class American is realiz

do today result of it? We any amount
of corruption, and large amount of money be-

enforce the prohibition laws. What is more, we see
our officers of the law being corrupted-bought by
the runners.

GRAVE OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

Patches of sunlight streaming in

a plain fiat slab, the grave OF
Benjamin Franklin.
1t is lowlv grave. a worthy
tribute to the unpretentious qualities
of the man. 1t is easily seen from
Arch Street, as it is close to the
northwest wall of the burying
ground.
During the Sesquicentennial Inter
national Exposition, commemorative
the one hundred and fiftieth anniver-
sary of American Independence,
which will open in Philadelphia, on
June /, 1926, millions of visitors will
pay silent homage to Franklin, whose
share in drawing up the Constitu-
ton of the United States was one of
the browning glories of his life work.
The remains of Franklin were in
TERED on April 81, 1890. His body
was placed beside that of his wife.

ed.
The funeral procession, headed by
the clergy of the city, attracted an
immense crowd estimated to have
numbered more than 10000. Minute
guns were fired and bells tolled.
Distinguished honors were paid to
his memory. Members of Congress
resolved to wear mourning for one
month In France, the news of his
death was received with expressions
of sorrow and respect.
The casual passerby may wonder
that larger and statelier tombstone
was left to mark the remains of
Franklin. 1t was the emphatic re-
quest of the seer that his grave
be marked by but an unadorned
small gravestone.
Each year on the birthday of
Fraknlin, members of the "Poor Rich
ard" Club, an organization of adj
:
vertising men in Philadelphia, place
wreath upon the grave of its
patron saint.
Franklin left mightier memorials
to the world than the world could
have left to the memory of Franklin.

Upon the diplomatic stage of the
Colonies he played an important role.
Matched against the wits of Eng

Act, he was supreme.
He was the first to utilize cleo

Then enters the Santa Fe Railroad
company. Like all powerful corpora

was on, and it has lasted to this time.

their copperhead stoolpigeons in the

of course the ultimate success of their
