Not Official.

From the wording of this state
ment, the secular press generally,
certainly in the South, has very ma
turally considered this to be an au-
thorizative declaration of the Anti
Saloon League Of America. But this
is not the case. This is not an Of
fetal declaration by the Anti-Saloon
League of America. 1t is simply
the expression of the opinion OF
Mr.. Wheeler, one official Of the
league. Therefore, as dry southern
democratic officials of the league
for very many years, We have de-
cided that it is right and necessary,
/! in order that there may be no fur
Their misunderstanding. that the
southern press and people at least
shall know that We do not join in
this statement by Wheeler, as to
certain political contingencies, which
statement we would emphasize is
not an official declaration of the
Saloon League of America.
while in order to remove this
misunderstanding, especially in the
minds Of our southern people. We
are constrained to record publicly
our disagreement with Mr.. Wheeler
on this specific matter. Let lest
there be some possible mistake as
to our attitude toward him as a man
and as a prohibition worker, we be-
lieve that in the great struggle in the
past 80 years to free our people from
the shame and curse of the legalized
liquor traffic, Mr.. Wheeler has been
one of the ablest and most efficient
workers, and that he has rendered
extraordinary service to great
moral cause at heavy financial and
physical cost to himself.
Use Own Judgment
! Finally. altogether apart from
our official relations to the Anti
Saloon League of America, but in
our capacity as chairmen of the
boards of temperance of our rep
resentative denominations (Southern
Baptist and Southern Methodist)
we think it proper to state that in
our judgment, dry southern demo-
Gratis will never agree to the nomin-
alton of Smith. Reed. Richie. or any
other wet democrat, but will demand
| that the national democratic conven-
ton respect the convictions of dry
southern democrats, without whose
votes no democrat can be elected
president Of the United States. If
the democratic convention does not
respect these convictions. and should
nominate a wet democrat, then dry
democrats. north as well as south,

ANTI-SALOON|STS

Resent WheelerS Inference on
Their Balloting

Washington. July 81 R,-Recent
expressions by Wayne B. Wheeler,
touching on the course southern
democrats might pursue in the event
Of nomination of Alfred E. Smith
for president, were described yester-
day by Bishop James Cannon, Jr..
and DR.. Arthur j. Barton, ,both Off
Gals of the Anti-Saloon league, as
Mr.. Wheeler's own views as league
official and not a declaration of the
league itself.
Publicity Give Views
Declaring they were constrained
to record publicity their disagree
ment with Mr.. Wheeler's views on
the specific expressions involved, the
two league Officials said there was
absolutely unity Of purpose among
us on the present great objective of
the Anti-Saloon Leagueof America"

church temperance denominations,
that in their Judgment the dry south

mentioning specifically Smith, Reed
and Richie. A note at the end of
the statement said Mr.. Wheeler had
requested that I'VE disclaim for him
the construction placed by the press
upon his statement"
Southerners' Statement
The statement Of Bishop Cannon
and DR.. Barton follows in part:
Some days ago Wayne B. Wheel
er issued a statement to the press
from which We quote:
There will be at least one of
the national dominant parties which
will have a satisfactory candidate
for the maintenance and enforce
ment of the eighteenth amendment
There is possibility that both will
be satisfactory. Then the league
keeps hands off. If Governor Smith
is nominated, and the drys in the
South would rather vote for an in
dependent dry candidate for presi-
dent than for dry republican, this
would give them a chance to regis
ter their protest.

ranches on the stream bottom, some
hard cutting and fire, and some
mining claims.
The name BLACK Hills was given
to the region by the Sioux Indians,
In their tongue, it was "Paha Sapa'
in allusion to the somber appear
ance of the forest clad heights as
seen from the plains. The Harvey
forest was named for General Har-
ney who was one of the early ex-
plorers of the region.
The President will have oppor-
tunity to see how national forests
are administered and developed. He
can see how timber sales are made
under methods that keep the for
ests growing; how grazing is reg
ulated to keep the range green;
and how land more valuable for
farming than for timber growing
has been made available for home
stealing. The first timber sales
in any national forest were in the
Black Hills in 1899 and 1900, and
the timber to be cut was so care
fully selected, under scientific for
estry. that the area a be cut
again by 1885. About $4,000, 900
board feet of logs are cut each year
from these federal timberlands I'M
der the same methods, with such
an improvement to the forest that
the foresters expect to maintain
this annual harvest forever, and
arrnn . - n nnn nnn -
This is partly because the old de-
fective trees in the virgin forest
are removed in the first cut, and
the thrifty sound trees left to grow.
HI the logger comes back 35
years later, the timber he then gets
is much more free from rot and
other defects than was that cut the
first time. Also. young timber is
coming in on old burns and other
barren places and will thus increase
the areas which can be cut over
every 35 years.
Within and near the Black Hills
and Harvey national forests are
many points of scenic or recreation
al interest. The famous Hot Springs
at the southern end of the Black
Hills are visited by thousands. and
the Wind Cave national park and
Jewel Cave national monument also
are well known. Harvey peak. the
highest point in the United States
east of the Rocky mountains, Gus
ter peak, the Needless" and Syl-
a Lake are other points of inter-
est, as well as the old mining town
of Keystone, where is located tho
famous Holy Terror mine, from
which came the richest gold ore
ever found in the world. Tradition
says this mine was named in honor
of the discoveries wife.
