and towns of Ohio for signatures 10 pc
titions urging Congress to legalize beer
the vets are now at work in larger cities
in the state. The work is carried on by
the Rational American League, a wet So
ciety. Solicitors are advertised for
through their city newspapers. The
leagues ad, appearing in a New York
newspaper, reads in part:
Live wires make good money do
ing this popular work. Special prop
osition for organizers, men and
women.
Forty men and women are now ped
ding petitions in Columbus, Ohio. They
are being bossed by couple of men from
Washington, d. c. The solicitors are also
securing members for the league at 81
each, the solicitor being paid so cents of
each dollar thus collected. The names
secured are forwarded to Washington as
proof to Congress that the country is
crazy for beer.

vitation to attend the recent wet meet
ing at Washington, is James w. Kline,
OF Chicago, head of the International
Brotherhood of B1acllsmiths, Drop
Forgers and Helpers. He expressed
himself as opposed to the modification
of the Volstead law, and further said:
Il have always opposed the dictation of
the whisky dealers and the brewers asso-
citation. A number OF very good people
are yielding to the argument of personal
rights and in doing SO they are yielding
to the demands OF the most vicious ele-
ment in our country"

CATHOLIC PRINCIPLES
Dean Reiner, of Catholic University,
Speaks Plainly on Prohibition
Question

The Rev. Joseph Resner, dean of the
College of Arts and Science of a Catho-
lie university in Chicago, in addressing
the Lake Shore Women's Club and in
discussing prohibition, pleaded for an
emphasis upon law observance and re-
spect for law. He declared that so far
as Catholic principles are concerned a
government may adopt prohibition or
not, may codnemn it or repeal it or mod
lily it, but when the government adopts
prohibition, prohibition becomes d law,
and as a law it assumes moral aspects"
While this Catholic priest admitted that
the success of the prohibition amendment
is not complete, he said it should cause
no surprise, although he is surprised that
prohibition "has attained the measure Of
success that even many of its enemies are
willing to admit"

DINING ROOMS PADLocKED

Admitting that they had violated the
prohibition law the owners of the Hotel
Brevoort, New York City, consented, on
March 8, to have the hotels two main
dining rooms padlocked for six months.
They issued, through counsel "a statement
that no more liquor would be sold in the
Brevoort until this pernicious and unpop-
ular law is repealed" The padlocks were
to be affixed on March Is.

ENFORCING THE LAW

Prohibition prosecutions by the depart
ment of justice under the Nolstead law
have totaled 238,8l8 and the collection of
fines and civil judgments totals $20,000,-
600, according to Washington authori-
ties These cases cover federal prosecu-
tions alone and are apart from prose-
cutions and convictions secured under
state laws and in state and local courts.

MOVE TO AID AL SMITH
Candidacy of Brennan, of Chicago,
for U. S. Senator Interpreted as
Move to Nominate Smith

George +. Brennan, Democratic boss of
Cook county which means Chicago. has
announced that he will be a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for United
States Senator.
Mr.. Richard Oulahan, Washington cor
respondent of the New York Times. sees
in this announcement the selection of Hi
nois as the first battle-ground of the presi-
dental contest of 1923. He argues that
Mr.. Brennan is not only political friend
OF Governor Al Smith, of New York. but
Is warm personal friend and one Of the
strong Smith leaders in the Democratic
convention in Madison Square Garden in
1924, who has never surrendered the idea
OF making Smith President As heading
the Democratic ticket in Illinois Mr..
Oulahan thinks that Brennan will be in
a position to deliver the state to Smith in
the next Democratic convention in 1925
If Brennan succeeds in winning the
nomination in the primaries next April
i'll that state it is believed that the party
in Illinois will declare for beer and wine
and the notification of the Eighteenth
Amendment. Brennan has announced
that his candidacy will be equivalent to
referendum on the question of modifying
the Nolstead law and has expressed con-
fdenCe that he will be an easy winner.
It is furthermore pointed out that Mr..
Brennan is relying on factional differ
ences from which the Republican party in
Illinois is suffering as an aid to his can
didacy. Senator William B. Mckinley,
whose term is to expire next year, is
candidate for denomination, and, although
the senatorial primaries will not be-.Leld
unit, April, the contest within the Repub-
lican ranks has been in hectic progress
for some time. Mr.. McKin1eys opponent
is Frank L. Smith, for Congressman. lie
is making the pre-primary fight against
Mckinley almost entirely upon the World
Court issue. Senator Mckinley voted for
the ratification of the Senate resolution
providing for the entrance of this govern
ment into the tribunal set up by the
League of Nations at The Hague.
Illinois has had one referendum on the
beer and wine question such as Mr..
Brennan's candidacy will bring about.
This was in the election of two Congress-
men-at-large, which resulted in the over
whelming defeat of the two candidates
running on a beer and wine platform.

FOUNDERS MESSAGE

DR.. Howard H. Russell, associate SUI
perintendent of the Anti-Saloon League
of America and founder of the league, on
February q issued founders mes
sage" In this message he refers to 1.-TWO
big patriotic days-the anniversary of
Lincoln's birth and the anniversary of
the birth of George Washington" He
recalls that Lincoln all his life kept the
sacred promise never to drink made to
his dying mother in the Indiana log
cabin, that he was strongly for the Maine
law and that in his wonderful address,
February p, 1912, he predicted prohibi-
ton. In speaking of General Washing
ton, DIR. Russell says:
The following well-known words
of our nations father about the fed
eral union show what he would say
about the present whisky rebellon
Respect for its authority, compli-
ance with its laws, acquiescence in it's
measures, are duties enjoined by the
fundamental maxirns of true liberty.
-. The Constitution, which at
any time exists until changed by an
explicit and authentic act of the whole
people, is sacredly obligatory upon
all"
One of the most interesting features of
DR.. Russell's founders message" is the
culver carrying six arrows, which he des-
ignates as follows:
