JUNE, 1923
Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Anti Saloon League of Illinois was held in
Springfield, June 5, 1928
Annual reports were presented, officers were
elected and plans adopted for the work of the en-
suing year
The Ant-Saloon League has been greatly bene-
fit II and strengthened by the wise and kindly lead
ership of our beloved friend and co-worker Bishop
Edwin Holt Hughes Every member of the Board
would have been happy to have retained the Bishop
as our president indefinitely, but in the League by
laws there is a rule providing that the person oc
cupying the position of president of the League
shall be elected for a tWo-year term and shall not
be eligible to succeed himself 1t therefore becomes
necessary to change the president at the end of
each two year period
In casting about for a successor to Bishop Hughes
in this important position the Board went in search
of a who a prominent member of some
other denomination, who an outstanding leader
in his own church and a leader in civic as we'll as
religious circles in the particular city in which he
resides. With these objects in view, after thorough
survey Of the field, the Board made very happy
selection in the choice Of Dr. William H Nicholas of
Springfield.
DR.. Nicholas is of the best loved and most in
fuential ministers in the capital city, of
genial personality, an able presiding officer and
wise counsellor. He is one of the leading pastors
in the state of the United Lutheran Church and is
the first representative of that denomination to
hold this position in the history of the State League.
We are extremely glad to welcome DR.. Nicholas to
this important post of leadership and are antici-
pating a continuation of the same firm and
progressive grasp of its task which has charac-
terized the Leagues activities during the past bien
mum.
We are pleased to inform our constituents through
the state that Bishop Hughes remains a member of
our Executive Committee and DR.. Nicholas becomes
a member er-o6icio. Thus while retaining all the
old strength add to the committee the good will
and good counsel which DR.. Nicholas can bring to
its services.

The BIC Fight

The most prominent feature of the current po-
litical situation is the probable candidacy of an
outstanding friend of the liquor interests for the
office of President of the United States 1t is diff
cult to estimate the significance and impor-
lance of the coming struggle The election of SUCH
a candidate would ultimately paralyze the enforce
ment of the prohibition law and to very large eX
tent bring about it's notification. The president
has the appointment of the secretary of the treas
ury. He has the appointment of the commissioner
of internal revenue He has the appointment of the
prohibition commissioner. And indirectly all the
subordinates in the entire enforcement bureau are
presidential appointees. The president can veto
appropriation bills and thus reduce prevent all
enforcement It is unbelievable that the liquor in
tereStS Of the country would not demand that a
president who was their friend and had received
their eager support in the campaign should do
what he could to relieve them of their burdens
caused by the enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment. So we may truthfully say that vic
tory for enemies in such campaign will insure
as a result the practical notification of the prohi-
bition law If the Federal Enforcement Bureau in
Chicago and in Illinois for instance were manned
by vets instead of dryS it would make law enforce
ment farce throughout the state Four years of
such experience would not only have brought en-
forcement practically to a close but would fill the
prohibition forces with sense of encouragement
and defeat.
On the other hand, smashing defeat of the wet

We are also pleased to announce that Rev. Frank
J. Day, D D., pastor of the First Congregational
Church of Moline, was added to the Executive Com
mittee DR.. Day is one of the ablest and most in
fuentia pastors in the Congregational Church IN
the State of Illinois He is firm believer in the
purposes and principles of the Anti-Saloon League
and joins forces with us in these difficult days TO
complete great prohibition task.
With the task before us and such strengthening
of our personnel we are anticipating very progress
sive and successful year of labor. The political
situation as well the educational and agtational
demands made upon us will call forth the best the
Anti-Saloon League can put into the struggle and
justified the enthusiastic cooperation of all our
friends.

The Need of the Hour

Generals cannot win without armies and armies
cannot fight without weapons and weapons are use
less without ammunition and the fighting force is
helpless if it does not have proper equipment. In
the State of Illinois must, first have a much
more generous financial support if are to win in
this crisis. Secondly we should all over the state
and particularly in the City of Chicago, perfect our
tanning the proper scrutiny of elections. Thirdly,
we should put on a statewide campaign to reach
every corner of the state and the voters to
action. Able speakers should be engaged for that
purpose and carefully planned itineraries must be
outlined. Meetings should be SO arranged and made
so attractive that the careless public will be in
duced to attend, and when they come the facts of
the situation should be burned into their con-
seriousness. Fourthly we are entitled to and should
have the full and frank cooperation of natural
friends We never made decision any matter
connected with the political phases of our work that
did not appear to someone to be mistake. Every
time we endorse a candidate anywhere in the state
someone is sure that should have done some
thing else. Criticism is part of our native air, SO
if at any time any of friends have been adding
their criticism to the atmospere through which we
move that fact should have nothing to do with their
permanent loyalty to the League and their readiness
to follow it's suggestions on other occasions as
sure you we workers in the League do not allow that
fact to prevent from giving to the suggestions of
such critics the fullest and hearteSt consideration.
Whether we agree disagree with any particular
friend at any time we accept the responsibility
which rests upon us and point to the results in
Legislative Halls and Congress justification for
our decisions--(From Supt Saford'S Annual Re-

Violent rises and violent falls
in the stock market are deter
mined more BY sentiment than BY
hard facts.
For example, the facts, the ac.
tualities, the economic conditions
IN this country did not change
appreciably between wednesday
and Thursday 81 last week. Nor
did they again change anything
to speak Of between Friday and
Saturday. Yet We saw very VIC
lent changes in prices Tor many
stocks between wednesday and
Thursday. and again between
Thursday and Friday, and Fri
day and Saturday.

Mankind is beginning to realize

Triangular scarfs are not going with

Already there is talk CT triangular
fur scarfs. made Of the fat peltries
In the Paris openings such scarfs in
ermine and other short-ha'Ted furs
have been shown and they will doubt
less become as popular as such an ex-
pensive fad can become.
And net scarfS for evening wear for
the coming season are also in vogue,

sequin trirl.ned-all the1e are among
the newer scarfs for evening wear. And
all Of them are cut in triangular shape.
in generous size so that they really
take the place of the shoulder scarf.
There is s.il a decided vogue for
something about the shoulders. Many
of the smarte5t late Summer evening
frocks worn at Newport and the ether
resorts show shoulder capes or berthas,
some of them cut in deep points that
come down over the arms when the
body is in repose and that float charm
ingly this way and that when one is
moving about
The little capelets that form part Of
some of the evening frocks, made of
the same material--or. for instance, Of
chiffon on a lace frock. Of lace on a
frock of georgette--are often fastened
at the front with jeweled clasps. This
suggests an interesting use for bit Of
