Loyal Hearts ar True "

Since the prohibition fight has become hot in the state
Legislature sent out letter to good many of our
friends asking for contributions to help finance the
League in the fight and prepare for contests which
follow.
Below some paragraphs from some of the letters
received, which show that the fighting spirit among the
drys vigorous and that their loyal confidence
in the Anti-Saloon League remains mistaken.
ELGIN-"All right Here's $1,000 to help fight those
whisky fellows Sic euD l hope win. If they vote
that referendum, why can't lick them in that vote?
We can, if we go at it."

the League expenses. Wish | could afford Along
with it goes the wish that all possible efforts be made

A Real Test of Americanism

True Americans will at all times, everywhere insist
upon the supremacy OF the Constitution They will teach
law observance the very foundation which gov
eminent rests They will not counenance any surrender
to the awess force which claim that prohibition cannot
be enforced.
AS the Illinois liquor interests bring their Amer
lean proposal to repeal prohibition laws they
pose surrender those interests which defy law and
the Constitution patriotic citizens will with greater ygor
and determination than fight that the Constitution
shall be evaded and nuhed. In the face of this q
uor challenge they will give time and effort to de-
fend and protect it. Patriotic citizens will insist that
follow the only open to the great state and
ton namely, that uphold the Constitution and thus
preserve our state and national honor.

SOCIETY BAN ON LIQUOR FORECAST
"Wet Parties" Less Popular; Smoking Among
Women Decreasing
By Jessie Ozias Donahue

Apparently the wet and dry issue is not to be of
paramount Importance in future presidential cleo
tons, for if straws show which way the wind blows,
the popularity of the vets is decreasing.
Society is finding less interest in wet parties than
heretofore, and smoking among is
much less noticeable of late.
Are growing better a whole, or wiser or in
different the novelty wears off?
Knollwood Country club is bone dry-not a
hip flask is permitted the place and yet it is
popular rendezvous of young society folk of the
north shore.
At numerous dinners, studio teas and dinner
dances recently there has been little drinking and
at the Casino when the lower north side charities
were benefited by one of the smarest dances of the
season, both supper and breakfast served at
the affair and not drop of liquor in evidence.
Some time ago it prophcsed that when
ciety put the taboo on liquor it would become un-
fashionable and hence unpopular. Thus instead of
being the smart thing to do it would be considered
vulgar. Perhaps that time is dawnng. 1t is quite
noticeable that the most fashionable of our society
women are not smoking Perl apps that popular vice
will also go into the discard ere long Chicago

never was time in the worlds history when lawless
elements did not fight against law and orderly govern
ment.
America is not going to turn back the hands the
dial of human progress by procaimng the world that
Democracy cannot function when it counter to
the interests of institution like the liquor traffic.
America is not willing to concede that the noisy mi

Baptists of the Whole Country Approve
The Anti-Saloon League

Two great gatherings of the Baptist denomination have
been held in weeks The papers bring desk
strong resolutions adopted by both bodies approving the
Anti-Saoon League and condemnng the tactics of the
Reed Senatorial Investigating Committee.
These two gatherings of southern and northern Bap-
fists comprise very large proportion of all citizens of
the Baptist faith in the United States Their words ring
and Their loyalty to the great of prohibition
appears to be mistaken.
The resolution adopted by the Northern Baptist Con-
vention is follows
1--WE record approval of the continued acv-
ity of the Anti-Saoon League of America and its
branches in the several states and of the work of
kindred organizations.
1--WE condemn what regard the prostitution
of official authority by the action of committee of
the Senate of the United States which, having taken
possession of the books and correspondence files of
the League allowed, Intentionally unintentionaly,
these books and correspondence to be made avail
able to liquor organizations and to be exploited and
misrepresented by wet press"
The resolution adopted by the Southern Baptist Con-
venton is follows
81. That condemn prostitution of official
authority the action of a committee of the United
States Senate, which, having taken possession of the
books and correspondence files of the Anti-Saloon
League of America which represents the Christian
and patriotic forces of the United States in the sup
preston of the liquor evil, the establishment of law
and order, and the enhronement of right allowed,
Intentionally unintentionally, these books and
correspondence files 10 go into the hands of the law
less and corrupt liquor organizations and to be
plotted and misrepresented by the wet press

the World League against Alcoholism great nom

glad to support and through which we are glad
to cooperate with the Christians Of all denomina-
tons and patriotic citizens of denomination for
the utter determination of the beverage liquor traf-
fc and for the complete establishment of law and
order We therefore earnestly request pastors
and churches to give these organizations their
sstent moral and financial support"

No Feed For Reopening Dist;l,eries

In the light of facts presented by the Ant-Saoon
League showing the amount of whisky now i'll bonded
warehouses available for medicinal USE is apparent
that there is need for the immediate reopenng of
whisky dislleres. The friends of prohibition make a
reasonable request that least public hearing be granted
before General Andrews drastic ruling be put into eff
feet 1t is also reasonable ask that Congress be first
given opportunity provide legislation which would
safeguard the prohibition law if distlers again per-
mitted operate General Andrews himself in urging
the passage of the medicinal spirits bill clearly fsh
tleries without new legislation.
The figures showing the Of whisky in bonded
warehouses and the annually withdrawn on
prescriptions and the number of prescriptions written
impressive Approximately 100000 gallons are used
incidentally annually, which that with the present
stock hand there is sufficient the de-
mands for the six years. while requires only four
years to age whisky. In addition there in the
bonded warehouses close to two million gallons of gin
and aged alcohol which could be reduced to a whisky
base If necessary.
Reopenng the distileries this time without at least
giving the friends of prohibition chance to be heard
might be misconstrued by the press step toward
less rigid enforcement of the prohibition law.

 It may be said that Alaska. is not compelled to follow the lead. of othera 8erritories in the. administration of it's government. The reply to that assertion is that. every. unit of this government outside of the original thirteen States dispiayede its capac-. ity for self-government in order. to, take on the sovereignty of Statehood, and the history of. the Territories shows continual fight for autono- nous rights,l and it further shows that when these rights when once ac- quired were. mosta jealously guarded by the legislative representatives. They: seemed to believe thatM these rights were best protected by men who were responsible to the people of the Territory. In fact the legislative representatives, of American Terri tories in the past naturally assumed thats when, Congress severed. certain functions of government from. the Federal Bureau and gave them. to. the people of the Territory. it was their duty x to. :, maintain those functions 1 within the control of the people and not transfer them back to those from whom they were taken by Congress.

 This memorial, it will be noted, is an appeal for the privilege of elect ing Governors and Judges in all Ter ritories. The!

Jack Dempsey INDUCED in day and
night of complete rest from training
today. Tomorrow night he will do his
last boxing, stepping through few
rounds, for speed only, with the news
paper correspondents as his guests.
This will be the last time the CORE

COWBOYS PLAN
TO CONTEST IN
COCHISE FAIR

An indication of the enthusiasm
growing among cowboys over the
seventh annual Cochise county fair,
particularly the augmented cowboy
sports program, was shown yesterday
when some ten or twelve "punchers"
from Hereford drifted into fair as
sociation headquarters.
They told Secretary George B.
Doubleday that the cowboys of the en-
tire Nogales district were enthusiastic
over the program Of cowboy events
and cowboy races, declaring this years
premiums were as good as any offered
anywhere in the country.
A hundred per cent attendance of
cowboys from southeastern Arizona is
expected at the fair, Which begins Sep
tember %, as well as many rodeo cow
boys from elsewhere in the southwest
who will come to try for the money
Doubleday yesterday began distribu-
jtion of circulars advertising the $4,000
fair program and emphasizing the
cowboy sports and racing program
which are believed to be the biggest
drawing cards for the four days of the
fair. The circulars were sent in lots
of from 10 to 100 to chambers Of
commerce, fair officials and rodeo
cowboys throughout Arizona and New
Mexico, as well as parts of Texas.

La COSTE Beats
TILDEN in 3
STRAIGHT SETS

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. II lP
Rene LaCoste, an iron-nerved son of
France with steel springs in his toes
and the accuracy of rifleman in his
racket, swept to decisive straight
set victory over Americas "Big BIZ
Tilden today to win the tennis cham
pionship of the United States for the
second time in as many years. The
score was 11-9, 6-3, 11-9.
Coming close upon the French sweep
of the Davis cup, the victory drove
home the claim of France to individual
as well as team supremacy over all the
world
1t was valiant battle, this last
brave stand of one who ruled un-
challenged until the coming of the
Frenchmen in their might year ago.
1t thrilled a throng of $4,000 tennis
fans who packed the west side stadium
and literally held their breath through
the long deep court exchanges with
which the Frenchman wore Tilden
down in desperately fought third set.
From the start Tilden was lacking
in SteadineSs while LaCoste was ac-
curacy perSonified. A detailed score
shows Tilden made by far the more
earned shots LaCoste's deadly mark
manship was the margin of victory.
The battle for the most part was
fought from back court where LaCoste
always had the better of the ex-
changes. 1t was only when Tilden
followed his drives or service shots to
the barrier for volley placements that
he was able to carry the battle to his
foe.
AS the match wore on these sallies
to the net became more rare. The
strain was telling viSibly upon the "a
year old Tilden while LaCoste, ten
years younger, was always fresh, his
face expressionless as he danced about
the baseline with the footwork of
boxer. His anticipation of Tilden's
shots was amazing and enabled him
on more than one occasion to turn the
tide of a rally by returning strokes
that left his opponents racket labeled
placement"

Genes INJURED
EYE REPORTED
MUCH BETTER

LAKE VILLA, Ills, Sept. II (R)-
The injured eye that has complicated
Gene Tunney's final training stretch
was every much better" today as the
heavyweight champion rested on his
arms for the battle with Jack Demp-
sey next Thursday night.
Fear that inflammation which set in
yesterday after training TO with the
three sparring partners would handi-
cap the champion in the $3,000000
title spectacle in Soldiers field, dis
appeared today when Gene arose early
this morning with all outward trace
of the injury gone.
A flick of jake Williams glove in
famed the right eye ball to such an
extent that two Chicago specialists
were called to the camp last night to
treat the new injury, grown suddenly
serious in view of the cut inflicted in
the same eye lid by Chuck Virgins
over a week ago. Although the early
wound did not reopen under the blow,
a puffiness developed about the eye
and slight diScloration set in.
Tunney's eye today appeared normal,
the swelling had disappeared, leaving
but slight blush tinge.
Gene will box in public tomorrow
foe the, last time before the title fray
He plans but light workout, believ-
ing that the remainder of the train
ing drill can best be spent in long
plugs over the roads about mis- camp
at the club house Tunney logged
eight miles this morning. He tipped
the scales at 100 pounds.
The heavyweight king may loosen
his muscles in round or two of work
with Billy Vidabeck Monday and Tues
day. however. He will break camp
"wednesday, spending that final "a
hours before the fight in Chicago.
