Remember This Work in Your VIII

We are sure many of our friends who are aged people
have long been profoundly interested in the great pro-
hbiton struggle and have been ardent workers for pro-
hbition and for years have given it financial
support Doubtless there among these friends many
who have a reasonable amount of this worlds goods,
but whose span of life is necessarily getting short.
Some OF You wondering what to do with your
money Doubtless there many instances where your
friends and relatives do not need whateyou will leave
behind To such friends, earnestly put the question,
why not leave some of your money to the Anti-Sa-
loon League? Why arrange that after your depar
ture some of your savings will continue assist in
rying this great struggle?"
There are a number of ways in which you do

Kicking the Tribune Building

After reading the latest editorial efuson of the Chi
cago Tribune rejecting upon prohibition and the Anti
Saloon League, the editor of this paper determined to
have satisfaction.
The Tribune has a nice building. We solemn1y
went over to the Tribune Building and kicked it in the
solar plexus right under its name forty times for
each story; thirty-hve above ground and about five
under ground. That's much larger under ground
proportion than characterizes most of the city build
ings But it is quite appropriate that the Chicago Trib-
should have very extensive under ground section.
Well we kicked their building good and hard Accord
ing latest reports the building is So. standing. But
is the AntiSaoon League and is the editor of this
paper The next time they say things about us,
we are going over and kick their building again

Putting on Our Program

At the beginning OF the year 1927 we announced an
extensive educational program with five departments
We have had something to say about this program IN
each Issue since and you will find reference to it else
where in this paper.
Here and row. we wish to our readers that SO
far as we have been able finance it, the program is
going in fine shape Our broadcasting plans have
been revamped and able to the radio again to
send messages the country Splendid reports
have been received from work done in the colleges and
equally encoutagng reports from our debating team
making use OF the famous Christgau debate.
Christgau Debate Winner
After giving the debate about hundred times in Chi
cago and vicinity, it is being presented almost
every night by Messrs. Langley and johnson in the
west central portion of the state This debate really
presents in dramatic FORM thorough discussion OF the
prohibition situation, takes up all the familiar arguments
and criticisms and answers them in exceedingly
vincing way.
During the two weeks ending March !, debating
team visited seven high schools and held eight church
meetings. At the high schools they addressed ZO5Z
students 1t is hard to overesmate the value OF these
discussions in the schools. The dramatic debate pre-
sents the arguments in attractive form and open
minded boys and girls get great deal OF valuable and
convincing information that otherwise would reach
them at all.
During the same period the debaers addressed eight
church meetings which the attendance was 1875
adults and some 200 children
Reports continually reaching us, enthusiastic about
the way in which the debate presented and the high
educational value Of these meetings We want to con-
tnue this of service far possible throughout
the year OF course half of these meetings bring in
financial whatever, and solely at the expense
of the Anti-Saloon League For this reason we must
impress upon friends that if such good service is to
be continued it will only be made possible by in
crease of the contributions of friends and supporters.
Please pray and pay for the continuation OF this great
work.

THE REFORMER

Before the monstrous wrong he sets him down.
One man against stone-waled city of sin.
For centuries those walls have been a-building;
Smooth porphyry, they slope and coldy glass
The flying storm and wheeling
No chink no crevice lets the thnnest in.
He fights alone, and from the cloudy ramparts
A thousand evil faces gbe and jeer him.
Let him lie down, and die; what is the right
And where is justice, in world like thw?
But by and by, earth shakes herself inpatient
And down. in great of ruin crash
Watch-tower and citadel battlements.
When the red dust has cleared, the lonely soldier
Stands with strange thoughts beneath the friendly sta

SUSPECT PRINCESS
DIED OF POISONING
By the Associated PRESS

By the Associated Press.
WARSAW, Poland, March A SEN
sation was caused today when the
body of Princess Marie Lubomirski,
who died four years ago, was taken
from the catacombs of the Holy
Cross Church for an autopsy in an
attempt to determine the truth of
persistent rumors that she was
poisoned.
The princess, one of the richest
heiresses in Poland was sister of
Prince ZdziSlas Lubomirski, who is
regarded by the monarchists as pre-
tender to the Polish throne.
She was apparently enjoying excel
lent health up to the time of her
death in 1923, which followed din

pressed suspicious at that time. Re-
Gently rumors again cropped up that
she had been poisoned by some one

property, valued at millions of
dollars.
