Editorial Comment
Anti-saIoon League Burehardism
Boston Transcript


Boston Transcript
Governor Smith Of New York can
well afford to have nothing to say"
in response to the foolish attack that
was made upon him on religious
grounds by Bishop Adna w. Leonard
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
and president of the Anti Saloon
League of New York. Undignifed
and distinctly irrelevant remarks
about kissing the Pope's ring" are
a reminder of the unlamented Burchc
ards cataclysmic onslaught on
Rum. Romanism and Rebellion"
which cost James g. Blame the
presidency. But happily for the
policies of the Anti-Saloon League,
the present break" does not, come
at a particularly crucial time In
public affairs.
Such exhibitions Of prejudice and
nothing else, can only harm the
posed by their authors to be uttered.
Is Governor Smith wet? That is
one thing, and naturally on that
issue Bishop Leonard, with his opin-
ions and his connection with the dry
propaganda. may well enough attack
him. Is Governor Smith a Catholic?
That is quite another matter; and
for Bishop Leonard to slur him on
that account Is to imply that the
Anti-Saloon League should become
an anti Catholic agency. A policy of
that sort had better be left to the
ku Kiux Khan.
'Intemperance" is one word, along
with several other bad ones, which
instantly affixes itself to propaganda
of this sort. Governor Smith does
not need to say a word about 1t.
The proceeding condemns and defeats
itself. 1t tends to narrow the dry
agitation. in so far as Bishop Leon
ard represents it. to limits which
can only spell misfortune for that
cause in a country where all COM
munions are equal before the law and
where they should be equally free
from insult in public discussions.

UNCLE SAM STEPS ON THE GAS

1t Is said the bootleggers have dis
covered no way by which they may
eliminate gasoline from denatured
alcohol, Aware Of this difficulty
which confronts the bootlegger Uncle
Sam proposes to put gasoline into
denatured alcohol, half gallon to
100 gallons trumps the tricks
This is very annoying to the boot
logger, who has been waiting ex-
pectantly for large quantities OF al
cohol in storage denatured by gov
eminent formulas, which the boot
logger has learned to get around, at
least to the extent of making them
pala table. Now gasoline is being
added to this denatured alcohol in
storage and the bootlegger feels the
pinch of stringency in the supply Of
that which he can use. The drinkers
are to be congratulated

AS NEW ENGLAND SEES 1T
(By (PD)


In a year prolific in the observ-
ance of the anniversaries of striking
events in New England's three
centuries of recorded history much
light is being thrown on the ex-
ploits of half forgotten heroes. One
of these is Major General John
| Thomas. In a loan exhibit at Kings
ton, Mass. in connection with the
towns 20Oth anniversary there are
letters to this Revolutionary soldier
from George Washington, John
Adams and John Hancock besides
the generals diary.
Thomas, born in Marshf1eld but for
most of his life a resident of Kings
ton, because of his experience as
colonel in the French and Indian
Wars was commissioned brigadier
general Immediately after the Bat
tie of Bunker Hill. He is best
known to fame as the commander
who directed the fortifcation of
Dorchester Heights which forced the
British evacuation of Boston in
March, 1875. Hancock. sending him
his commission as major general in
the same month, complimented him
on his military skill, courage and
capacity" In April he was given
the difficult task of rescuing the
battered colonial army in Canada.
Smallpox was rampant in the camp.
Thomas, who between wars had
been country doctor. personally
attended many patients, contracted
the disease and died at Chamblee,
near Montreal
The numerous visitors to Marble
head who climb the hill to Redd's
Pond to watch the boys and girls of
the yachting colony sail their
model yachts, carefully constructed
copies of larger vessels. find much
to interest them in the pond itself.
In contrast to the general saltry at
mosphere Of the old port. this is
fresh water pond. 1t lies in
hollow of rocky bluff almost on
the edge of the ocean but 100 feet
above sea level. 1t is fed by springs
and maintains virtually the same
level the year round regardless of
the weather. 1t Is very deep and
there is no outlet. Just above the
pond on the hill is the old burial
ground which dates back to 1928.

attempt to prove the equity of such

resort to appeals to generosity and
emotionalism.
Their purpose is not unlike that of
the French politicians smudging the
