OHIO METHODISTS
OPPOSE GOV. SMITH
Conference Hears Mrs. Willebrandt
Attack Nominee on
Wet Stand.

By the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, September g.
The Ohio conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church today stood unani-
mously opposed to the presidential
candidacy of Gov. Alfred E. Smith. and
in favor of Herbert Hoover, because of
moral issues"
A resolution, adopted yesterday by
$500 pastors and lay delegates in con-
ference, said the statements of the two
candidates had raised the moral issue
distinctly above partisan and religious
bias" and urged that only persons COM
mitted to prohibition in their personal
and public records should be supported
at the polls by Christian citizens"
The conference last night heard an
address by Mrs. Mabel Walker Willie
brandt. Assistant United States Attorney
General. She saw astounding conces-
SionS to lawbreakerS'' in the New York
governors recent proposals for changes
in the prohibition laws and said Smiths
election would make dry enforcement
doubtful
Mrs. Willebrandt asserted that prohi-
bition laws had been nullified in New
York under Smiths governorship and
charged that wide open" liquor law
violations exist in New York City

 Boomer chuckled again. He was feeling very good natured. T knew you woudn't,' said he. Didn't ] tell ycu you wouldn't? It is no use wasting time talking to people who won't believe what you say So, if you'll excuse me. 1 think I'll go look for some more flies

 sometimes. replied Boomer. "Sometimes ] see him when I'm passing through. In fact, almost every year l see him down in the land Of Banana Bill"
 At that Bobby Coon fairly hoped off the ground. So there really is a Banana Bill" he cried.
 Certainly replied Boomer. "Ba- mana Bill the Toucan is very well known down there.'
 Bobby nodded his head knowing ly. 'scrapper has been telling me about him." said he. You know. between us, Boomer, l wasn't quite sure whether all that Scrapper has told mo was true. I certainly would like to see that land where Banana Bill lives. ] suppose there are many queer folk living down there.'
 Boomer chuckled again. When I've told the folks who i've down there about you folks who i've up here. they all think you are queer" said he. "Take Pricklv Porky's cousin. for instance.

the ''respecta bles" who fawned on the king and royalty and refused to be with the ancestors of the D. A. E., that they openly said that the commissioners of loans and boards Of War, marine committees, commits saries. scribes. assemblies, councils, senatorial tribes, were "wretches whose very acts the French abhor:" that Washington was at the head of ragged ranks. hunger and itch were with him and all the lice of Egypt in his train: that he was the great captain of the western Goths and Huns: the soldiers were half bav- ages from the backwoods: the pa- triots' camp was filled with priests, tailors and cobblers, with sailors and insects vile that emerged to life; rats who nestled in the lions den: that their inspiration was treason, ambi- ton, hypocrisy. fraud, bundles of lies, calumny. veal riot, cruelty, cum ming, malice. persecution and super
 tition.
 Times have not much changer. The committee of the D. A. R., in their prejudice and ignorance. pre- tend to advise intelligent Americans as to whim they should hear. what they should read and what they should think. They would have joined with the sycophants In 1776 to stone their own ancestors for their devotion and courage.
 It is related about the grand- daughter Of Victor Hugo. who was a social leader in Paris. that some scholar complimented her upon her industrious ancestor. She replied: Can I never get rid of my grand- fathers?"
 The action of the D. 4. R. 0em- mittee shows that courage. indspsn- dence and intelligence are not inher- ited.

Bobby is quite right about it. It is surprising how often a person thinks no one else knows what he knows, only to find that it is common knowledge. So if you cannot find out . thing from one person, it is . pretty good plan to try another. Bobby Coon knew that Scrapper the kingbird and Sunshine the Yellow Warbler visited the taraway Tropics every winter. But he didn't know Of any other of the feathered folk who went so far. So Bobby was more than . little surprised when Scrap per told him that if he had any moro questions to ask to 20 ask them of Boomer the Nighthawk
 Tt can't be-" though Bobby Coon, ''that Boomer the Nighthawk goes way down there. don't be- iieye 1t. It doesn't seem reason- able"
 So sure Of this was Bobby that he just dismissed the matter from his mind. and. then, just in the dusk of early evening day or two later, Boomer the Nighthawll came sail- ing low over Bobbys head. Before he realized what he was saying. Bobby cried, ''1s it true. Boomer.'
 Boomer swung around and up. He darted across above Bobby. Bobby heard . faint click. as Boomer caught an insect in the air. He went mp and up and suddenly he came shooting down. My, how he did come down. It looked as if he would dash himself against the ground. And, suddenly. close be- side Bobby. Boomer checked himself and there was a loud booming noise, caused by the air under his wings He flew back and forth for q mo- ment and then alighted lengthHse on 8 limb just above Bobbys head. You see. he didn't quite trust Bobby He knew that Bobby Coon has q lil;- ing for fresh meat. Did you ask me something. Brother Coon?' in quired Boomer.
 Where do you spend your win- fers' inquired Bobby abruptly.

 Her eyes widened with sudden fear.

the super patriot crowd seems to have come of foolish leadership that is developing a taste for those idle apopletic old gentlemen in rod fan nels and brass buttons who escape the boredom of their rich wives by sftting in the club windows at Wash- ington and bemoaning the decadenco of q growing world.
 The Nice Old Girls"
 The nice old girls of the present D. A. E. administration have been hypnotized by the brass buttons of the retired army officers and lured into the redbaiting mania by the tea gladiatorc of Washington. These tea gladiators are keepers of the ra w. head-and- bloody bones of politi- cal conniptionc. and they certainly have let the D. A. R. executives in for a lot of ridicule which the rank and file do not deserve.
 The idea of banning the Women Federation of Clubs. the missionary boards. leaders in the Y. M. C. A.. and Y. w. C. A.. the League of Women Voters and denouncing men like Dean Pound of the Harvard law school and Federal Judge Anderson and President Wooley of Holyoke College makes one wonder whether it is the daughters of the American Revolution or the daughters of the American Tories who are speaking.
 The D. A. R. has perfect right to do this under any rule of free speech. but the D. A. R. should not vince when, following it's own work ing. its leadership draws upon the organization the horse laugh of a free people.

 Apparently there Is . slight de- crease in the number of blind per sons under the age of Fl, which may represnt some of the success of the attempts now in operation in all the civilized world for the prevention of blindness among i'm fants.

 It Is estimated that about o.G of children under tho age of : arc blind. There arc furthermore 7,- 900 partially blind children in Eng land and Wales. of whom only 1.6Oo are receiving institutional attention to permit them to secure proper occupations.
 Undoubtedly, the figures of the United States will closely approxi- mate those of Great Britain. The greatest help that might be stven to either the blind or the partly blind is an education which would enable them to earn funds efficient ly for their own support
