BISHOP MANNING SPEAKS
Temperance Society Has No Au-
thority to Speak for Episcopal
Church; House of Bishops
Favor Dry Law


The Reverend Doctor made the first
page of the wet newspapers during the
first week of February, 1926, when as Sec
rotary of the Church Temperance Society
of the Protestant Episcopal Church he put
the society on record favoring modifica-
ton of the Vostead act. 1t was the big
news of the week in wet newspaper Of
fees. They interpreted the action to mean
that the Protestant Episcopal Church had
joined the wet camp. 1t was the first
break, SO they said, in the church ranks,
prophetic of victory for the notification
lists. Their jubilation was short lived,
however, for within a week regulations
of the society from the church leaders
came thick and fast. The New York
Times took a poll of the bishops which
showed that they favored the Volstead
law l8 to 6. Prominent church leaders
no authority to speak for the church, that
it was not officially recognized by the
church. It's membership was variously
estimated by these church leaders to be
from FIVE to twenty thousand. In some
states the society has never functioned at
all.
DIR. Empringham spoke of a survey up
on which he based his report repudiating
prohibition. declaring that he sent ques-
tionnaire to twenty thousand members OF
the society. This QUESTIONABLE was never
published so far as American Issue is
aware, although requests were made for it
from numerous sources No copy of the
QUESTIONABLE was ever given the press, so
far as known.
Bishop Manning Says Society Without
Authority
If this Temperance Society has been Of
fcially recognized by the Protestant Epis-
copal Church since February, 1926, and if
it has since that date been authorized to
speak for the church on prohibition, the
fact has been given no publicity in the
press. II would appear that this is not
the case, for Bishop William T. Manning
of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of
New York in 4 formal statement pub
lished May q declares that the society has
no authority to speak for the church. He
added that the communicates of the
church a. = whole are against modifca-
ton of any sort and stand for active en-
forcement of the laws.
1t Is therefore amusing that the Rev,
DR.. James Empringham has been success
full in working the same joke on the wet
newspapers twice within eighteen months,
and now he comes out with the same dec
iaration eondemning prohibition as fail
ure and advocating modification. Once
again wet editors are griding out the edi-
tnrials based on the action of DR.. En-
pringham's society, showing that the solid
front presented by the churches against
the return of the booze traffic Is broken
and that the end of prohibition is near.
Practically Defunct
AZ matter of refreshing the memory
Of these editors In identifying DR.. En-
pTingham's society, the following testi-
mony may be helpful DR.. EmpTingham

Neither political party can take the wet
side of the issue next year and be sure of

VV7OUID you dream that this sweet,

washboard-wasn't even boiled?
Rinse gently soaked out the dirt and
stains. No scrubbing to fray the edges
no hard rubbing to wear things thin.

There are many laundry soaps, but
nothing like Rinse. 1t gives thick suds,
even in hardest water. Not frothy soap
bubbles, but wonderfully cleansing s,4ds.
In these rich suds, dirt and stains float
off by themselves. Clothes rinse whittier,

DEMOCRATS '2S
PARLEY CHOICE
st Time Since 1860
Party Has Considered
South for Convention.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The Demo-
cratic party, for the first time since
1860, is seriously considering hold
ing its next national convention in
the south.
Glen L. Shaver, chairman of the
national committee, after several
conferences here, revealed that Mi
ami, Fla, is looked upon with great
favor by Democratic leaders as the
scene of the 1928 convention, even
going so far as to say that the de-
cision probably would rest with the
southern resort itself.
The contest for the convention
virtually has narrowed down to Mi
ami and two other cities, Detroit
and Cleveland, Shaver said.
If Miami decides to back up its
tentative offer, made by representa-
tives several months ago, of 5000, 900,
Chairman Shaver believed it would
be the choice of the committee.
The committee has a deficit Of
approximately that amount left
over from the 1924 campaign, and is
anxious to erase it from the ledger.
Railroad and steamship lines, mean
while, have promised to cut their
passenger rates in half should Mi
ami be chosen.
If no bona fide financial offer
came from the southern city, Cleve-
land was believed to be the most
favored site because Of its central
location, Shaver said.
