MEMORIAL FOR
WAR VETERANS
IS CONSIDERED
Petitions Placed In Circulation
in Bismarck Asking Co.
operation
COMMUNITY NEEDS CITED
Estimated Cost Is 100000
With $4,000 Assured by
County Levy

Petitions asking that county COM
missioners confer with members Of
the American Legion and other
World war veterans before deciding
upon the type and kind Of q me-
mortal, to be erected to the memory
of those who died in the Word war,
were placed in circulation in Bis
marck today.
The county commissioners recent
ly levied aetax Of one mill, the pro-
ceeds Of which will be used in con-
structing a memorial to World war
veterans. Action was taken at the
request Of Burleigh county legion
naires.
Members of the American Legion
memorial committee, in statement
issued today by Harry Rosenthal,
chairman, made it plain that men,
bers Of the Legion have ideas which
they hope to have considered when
plans for the memorial are adopted.
"After careful consideration Of
the various factors involved in the
memorial project the committee
members find themselves in agree
ment as to what war memorial for
Burleigh county should be.
1T should be something Of a size
and type fitting to the ranking Of
Burleigh county among the various
counties of the state.
1T should be something which is
at once serviceable and beautiful.
"It should be something which
will have the tendency to solidify
the community spirit which is help
ing Burleigh county and Bismarck
to grow and prosper.
1--WE think these objects can best
be attained by the construction Of
properly designed memorial build
ing. This building would be de-
signed to meet the needs Of the COM
munity.
1.-THE county commissioners have
given us whole-hearted support and
1t Is not our purpose to attempt to
dictate what this building shall con-
tain or how it should be designed.
That is up to the county commits
sioners. If, however, the commits.
sioners seek advice from the legion
we can say now what it will be.
''The building should contain ade-
quate restroom facilities. It would
be of inestimable benefit to the
women and children from Burleigh
county farms who come here to
trade.
Every one of US has seen mothers
who were forced to take small chill
dren with them oh shopping trips.
We have seen too many cases where
this was an obvious hardship on both
the mothers and the children. The
rest room 1--WE have in mind would
contain a. nursery at which farm
mothers could leave their children in
the care Of skilled attendant while
they went shopping. It is our idea
that the merchants Of the city would
be glad to pay the salary Of this at

Prohibition Candidate
Favors New Dry Laws

Rockville Center, N. Y, August
TO- (AP) William f. Varney,
prohibition candidate for the presi-
dency, has put the party on record
as favoring some changes in the
dry laws to make the eighteenth
amendment "more effective"
"The eighteenth amendment must
be maintained, upheld and enforced" j"
he said last night in formally &C.
cepting the nomination. "The VOL
stead act passed by congress was
but the beginning Of laws relative
to the enforcement Of the eigh-
teenth amendment, and it has been
demonstrated that some changes
are necessary to make it more ef-
fective.
The last two Republican admin
istrations ct Washington have be-
trayed the eighteenth amendment,
he charged. The Republican party's
1928 enforcement plank is no
stronger than its plank 1924, and
the Democratic candidate for the
presidency, BY his advocacy Of
modification, offers no hope fo1
any Improvement along enforce
ment lines, hs said.

issued today by e. c. Wells, pro-
duction superintendent Of the plant.
He added, however, that II more

SWEDE LIQUOR
LESSON GOOD
FOR AMERICA
Hapgood Says U. S. Has
Tossed Away Essence of
Free Government

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. TO-
R-The United States has a good
example to follow in Sweden in the
matter of liquor control and real
temperance, Norman Hapgood, edi-
tor, writer and biographer Of Cover
nor Smith, told general conference
of the institute of politics today.
"Sweden never undertakes to en-
force the ideas of q mere majority"
Mr.. Hapgood said, "referendums are
merely advisory and if IS per cent
of the Swedish people voted for abb
solute prohibition tomorrow the leg
islature would refuse to act on the
ground that the percentage was too
low to make enforcement possible" /"
On the other hand, our passage OF
the eighteenth amendment described
as IAN example Of the majority's
misuse of its power by attempting
an impossible control Of the minor
ity."
"Thfs attempt is made far more
serious blunder, it might almost be
called a political crime, when the
temporary majority puts its views
into an instrument almost as hard
to change back again as were the
laws of the Medes and the Persians," /"
Mr.. Hapgood continued. "Practi-
cally we have thrown away the es-
sence of free government, which is
to keep laws in touch with changing
opinion"
The way out of the difficulty, he
believed, was for the federal govern
ment to confine its enforcement ac-
tivities to distinctly federal fields
and leave to the states either to car
ry out, or leave undon, the rest.
The economic effects Of Belgium's
policy of semi-prohibition, were told
by DR.. Louis Pierard, Of Brussels,
who said that production had in
creased in some trades, the people
drinking less, and accidents were
fewer.
"The Belgian working class is sat
isfied with the new regime" he said.
"The number of cafes has been re-
duced. Working men drink less,
they live more at homc they 60 with
their wives to the movies or to the
football grounds. OF course, there
is some bootlegging, clandestine
production or sale Of spirits"

been granted = leave Of absence to
fight the prohibition. law.

Germ the corporation" Mr.. Sloan

accepted, and Mr.. DUPONT was ac-
corded q leave Of absence instead.

day, in which, associates said, he
would come out in support of the
presidential candidacy Of Governor
Smith.

sence to Mr.. DUPONT follows closely

committee, from the chairmanship Of

: Chicago, Aug. 1O.-(A-Governor
Alfred E. Smith Of New York and q
party of eastern Democratic leaders
arrived in Chicago at 1922 a. m.
today to pay their final respects to
George E. Brennan, the late Demo-
cratic chieftain Of Illinois, at his
funeral services. Their train, the
Twentieth Century Limited, pulled
into the depot 20 minutes ahead Of
schedule.
Less than three hours were al
lowed the governor in Chicago be-
tween the arrival of his train at
1922 and its start on the return
trip. The time was just enough to
permit him to 60 to the Brennan
home for the short private services
and then to Our Lady Of Mount Car
mel church, where public services
were to be held. The fact that burial
was to take place at Des PLANES
precluded the governors accompany
ing the funeral party to the ceme-
terry.
At Governor Smiths insistence,
every precaution was taken to pre-
vent any demonstration in his behalf
during the brief hours he was to be
in Chicago. His mission. he ex-
planned, was one Of sorrow, and he
requested that Chicago party leaders
assist him in making his visit as un-
ostentatious as possible.
The desire of the family to have
simple funeral services was defeated
in large part because Of the ex-
preston of large numbers of friends
and political associates Of Mr.. Bren-
nan that they be permitted to show
their respect and sorrow at the pass
ing of the dead party chieftain.
Besides Governor Smith there
were many prominent figures in ma
tional Democratic circles here for
the services. Several leaders from
the east, including representatives
from Tammany, were here. Illinois
Democracy was largely represented.
With the arrival Of Smith .
throng of several thousand milled
about the sidewalks, and 4 Gordon
Of police had to break q path to the
automobile for the New York gov
ernor. Thousands lined the curbs
and cheered the Democratic presi.
Dental candidate. Showers Of ticker
tape and confetti were strewn from
windows Of buildings as the party
sped past.
