REFORMING PAYS Senator Jim Reed’s committee investigating campaign expenditures is disclosing for the first time the inner workings of the powerful Anti-Saloon League, the organization chiefly responsible for prohibition. The influence of the league in Congress and State Legislatures, its power in party councils, and its ability to interfere successfully with the appointment v of judges, prosecutors and other public officers has been known. But the extent of its activities, the enormous sums it collects and spends, and its methods of- operation, heretofore have been concealed. <The league has clothed itself with sanctity, has assumed all virtue, and has made the assumption stick. Any analysis of the amhzing revelations before Reed’s committee Friday would be perhaps premature. The disclosures have only begun, for one thing. Further, the hearing was a diash between two brilliant lawyers, with nimble wits and ready tongues —Reed, the inquisitor, and Wayne B. Wheeler, the Anti-Saloon League’s legislative agent—or lobbyistin Washington. Each is able and each doubtless is tremendously sincere. However, from the volley of questions and answers and the acrimony of the examination, certain facts seem to be established. Foremost among these is that the Anti-Saloon League is well organized and well financed, and that the men who carry on,its business are well paid, even those like William J. Bryan, who- made of prohibition a holy issue. Bryan, it was developed at Friday’s hearing, received for his prohibition speeches in 1919 some SII,OOO. Then there was Richmond Pearson Hobson, naval hero, former member of Congress, and “father of the prohibition amendment,” who between 1914 and 1922 received $171,245, part of it while he was in Congress. John F. Kramer, first prohibition director, got $7,500 for a year’s work after the Federal Government decided it no longer needed him. Pussyfoot Johnson, the spectacular international prohibitionist, received in seven years about sl9 000 in salary. Sam Small, the noted evangelist, got $32,654 in a single year for spreading the gospel of prohibition. This was developed from an audit of league books at Westerville, Ohio. Frank B. Willis, former Governor of Ohio and now United States Senator, was paid $1,200 in 1919. 1 Besides these,* there were perhaps 2,000 other more humble workers for the cause, most of them paid on a far more modest scale. Some received nothing. Representative William D. Upshaw, Georgia evangelist and prohibition orator, was among those receiving cash. In one instance M. C. Reiser, head of the Anti-Saloon League speakers’ bureau, wanted Upshaw to make a free speech at a meeting in Washington, where other speakers were not paid. Upshaw demurred and demanded $75, pleading poverty, although Reiser told an associate he took all Upshaw said “with a grain of salt.” Upshaw made tile speech. Then he wrote Reiser, “I think you will have to shell down the corn and admit your Georgia friend made a pretty good speech on America’s greatest battle. I am sure the cash (collections) would have been decidedly larger If it had not been so near Christmas. Remember the f 1,168 collection cost you no advertising, only $t in taxi. In sending check let your conscience be your guide.” Upshaw was paid $25. Roughly totaled—and this is important—the expenditures of the league to bring about prohibition were $35,000,000. The national organization has spent since 1920, $3,500,000 in prohibition agitation, while State subsidiaries have spent $6,500,000 in the same way. Thus we are given a glimpse of the activities of the Anti-Saloon League, and we learn that it is a big, well organized, well financed society, spending millions to force its views upon the country. We learn, as'well, that its most vociferous ag<Ats are paid, and in most instances well paid, for their labor in behalf of the cause. START THOSE PETITIONS Once more Senators Watson and Robinson and a few- Republican Congressmen are.pleading with the President to open the doors of the Atlanta prison and send back Warren T. McCray to the State of which he was once Governor. They plead that this man who stole only a few millions, while he used his high office as a jimmy has been punished enough. They cannot bear to meet at Turkey Run and other places to rejoice over the payment of the debts which the State incurred under his administration and think of this man who gives them the opportunity to boast, bemg held behind prison bars. Humanitarians, theSe able Senators, whose great heart does them much credit. That other citizens may be more hard hearted does not deter them from this act of mercy and forgiveness. For men who have been so long in public life it is difficult to understand how they overlooked the magnificent opportunity to make their petition impressive by making it more general. They had the opportunity to show that it was not because McCray was once their pal in politics, once their friend and supporter, not because he was Governor and had betrayed the people, but because their hearts are always filled with sympathy for those who suffer in prison. They should, in all good conscience, haw broadened that petition to include all public servants, of high and low degree, who may be behind the bars ?£ a Federal prison. f That would have removed all suspicion that they were pleading to lift the perpetual fear that the people may remember McCray when they plead for party responsibility and party obligation. v There are other former officials who have been weak and tempted, who suffer in prison, who have mdoubtedly reflected and regretted. , They should have petitioned for those three colored janitors who stole SBO,OOO worth of Squibb whisky from the Federal building. One of these men will not be able to see the light

of freedom for nearly four more months. He has been in jail now more than a week. 'He will be in the cold dark cells of the county jail or Independence Day. Surely the hearts of Watson and Robinson must fill'with salty tears when they think of Ills sad fate. There is another of these janitors who must serve six months at the jail for tnis theft of- whisky and the turning of it back to bootleg channels. Think of the long dark days ahead of him. And that tTiird, down at Leavenworth for a year and a day, he, too, suffers. Perhaps these Senators have not heard of these other public servants who betrayed their trust, who were weak, who in a few moments of temptation carried out that confiscated whisky and sold it to weaker and richer men who drank it. For if they had heard of these sentences and knew of the punishment they are undergoing, they must certainly have felt Impelled tQ ask the President to release them, too. v It may not be too late, even yet, if the citizens act quickly and promptly, to call the facts to the attention of the Senators. All those whose hearts bleed as do those of Watson and Robinson for the unhappy McCray should start petitions today for these other three who also betrayed their trust and feel the heavy hand of retribution. Let’s start those petitions at once, and let the President turn them all out at the same moment. Let not quality of mercry be strained. ADOPT THIS TODAY The revelations of money spending In the Pennsylvania primary have had their effect on the United States Senate, whether or not they have yet influenced the people at large. The Senate Rules Committee has offered for consideration and action today a resolution condemning the expenditure of huge sums by candidates for the Senate. If adopted it will express as the "sense of the Senate” that any candidate spending more than $26,000 renders himself thereby unfit to occupy a seat in the Senate. This $25,000 limitation, of course, does not alter the binding effect of laws now in force in some States making a still lower figure the maximum that candidates may spend. Under all the circumstances, the pull of friendships, the fights that some of the Senators themselves face this summer and the habit of lavish expenditure that has grown up, the rules committee has gone farther than most people might have expected. Some, it is true, would like to see more teeth in the resolution. They’d like to see the Senate set up an absolute bar to any candidate who Spends more than a specified sum. Later this may come. For the present, the Senate will do well to adopt the proposed resolution. It slioull have a salutary effect on the campaign this summer and fall.

WALTER FERGUSON— Intrinsically, one of the greatest Americans is Eugene V. Debs. He was one of the few outstanding men of this Nation who did not succumb to jingoism and who stood staunchlyfby his principles during the last war hysteria. He teeems to possess that which is vouchsafed to so few individuals, the ability to look at both sides of a question. Saying that he did not believe in the wholesale murder that war justifies, he was tried and convicted and sent to prison some years ago from whence he has only recently__been released. This hi not to argue that Mr. Debs was right in 'his attitude toward the war. But it is to assert that what he had always believed and taught he stuck by, which is a great deal more than the most of us have the courage to do. He remained for years in prison rather than change his opinions. We can now see that there were many familiar catch-words during the war which fve used with great abandon and recklessness: that many of our councils of defense which we organized so promiscuously were not much better than the foreign persecutions of the weak which we so loudly denounced. We called a great many people “traitor” in that day who were perhaps bettor Americans than ourselves. Mr. Debs, throughout the nauseous hysteria, kept his mental equilibrium. And if we measure the greatness of a man by the ardor with which he clings to cherished principles, surely no one can deny that Eugene V. Debs measures up to qualifications. Perhaps his opinioris do not coincide with ours. To some of us he is a radical and therefore dangerous; to others he is a Socialist and therefore an enemy to the political order and orthodox religion. But Mr. Debs has practiced a religion which too many of us only preached. He has been a martyr to his ideals, even as was Jesus . Christ. • If the followers of our creed throughout the world stood by their beliefs with half the courage of this Socialist, Debs, there would be no more wars.

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Story of the Enslavement of Israel Is Told Here

Th© international uniform Sunday school lesson for July 4. Israel enslaved Egypt. Exod. 1:8:14. By William E. Gilroy, 1). D. Editor of the Congregationalist. From the story of Joseph with Its triumphant advancement of a man of sound character and purpose whose rise to power became shared by bis own people, we pass quickly to a story of distress and tragedy, though originally a much longer time was occupied by this Changed order of events that the proximity of these narratives in the Scriptures would suggest. Anew king had arisen who knew not Joseph, and the descendants of Joseph consequently suffered. While these ancient kings cannot be identified with certainty, the probability is that the king who elevated Joseph to power himself belonged to a line who had come in through foreign conquest.. He was probably one of th© Hyksos rulers who came from the north and who were likely of the same general Semitic race as the Hebrews. The Hyksos rulers were eventually driven out by the native princes, and much of the oppression of the Hebrews may have been because in the eyes of these later Pharoahs they were of this foreign strain. At any rate, the people who had come down to Egypt with' the favor and good

will of the .ruling authorities now found themselves subjected to severe oppression. Building Stone Cities Few people realize that until comparatively recent times the condition of the great mass of peopl© has been that of slaves. In tbe ancient world this was particularly true. The great works of ancient time were done by hordes of slaves who worked under oppressive taskmasters. Here in our lesson we find the Hebrews under this compulsion building for a Pharaoh the store cities of Pithom and Raamses. But this oppressed people showed in spile of their ill treatment, that vigor and productiveness for - which the Jews have been proverbial in history. Their numbers increased in such proportions that the Egyptians were lurther alarmed and sought to hold them in restraint by giving to them severer forms of service than ever. , Here came the real testing of Israel. Great prosperity and great adversity alike test the characters of men and the faith and institutions that characterize their sociAl life. Here w© begin the study of a theme that symbolically has loft Its mark deeply upon the world. The bondage and oppression of the Hebrews in Egypt have become and oppression everywhere.

With such an unusually brilliant cast and plans calling for a lavish and unstinted presentation of “II Trovators,” the Municipal Theater Association is faced by an almost certain loss, inasmuch as the production must play to capacity houses every night to pay for itself, r Though the loss seems a certainty because of the tremendousness of the production, the Association has ruled that its admission scale, now the cheapest of any similar theatrical undertaking in the world, will not be raised. The deficit will be made up from the profits accruing from the artistic and profitable light opera presentations.

every great liberator, and the promised land the goal of freedom and progress. Growing Power It is instructive to see the foolish way in which many people in the modern world deal with the problems of life exactly as these Egyptians dealt with tho increasing . numbers and growing power of the Hebrews. The Egyptians said, "Let us deal wisely with them.” But the only wisdom they had was in subjecting the Hebrews to brutal force. Real problems of life are never solved by selfish meafffires and by 1 brutal procedure. It is a lesson that history lias written very, very deeply into its pages, and yet it Is amazing that many people in our modern world still place almost all their faith for th© safety and upbuilding of the state upon selfish ness and force. Wise men will find a better solu tion of life's problems, whatever they may be, than tho solution of brute force. Might never makes right. The principles of love and justice may seem w eak' and ineffectual, but in the long run love and Justice constitute the only solutions of hu man problems. This is as true in relation to the modern vexed problems of social, industrial and racial relationships as It was true in relation to the problem of an unaa;3initiated people in ancient

seats for one of the finest productions of "11 Trovatore” ever given for as little as 25 cents, while there are 1,600 seats for which there Is no charge at all. In fact, half the seating bapaclty of St. Louis’ Municipal Open Air Theater is sold for 25 and 60 cents, while the highest admission Is only $2 for box seats. The artistry of the Metropolitan stars in the principal roles will be supplemented by features that distinguish all the Municipal Theater Association's productions—a mighty chorus of 112 St. Louis h<Jys and girls, a symphony orchestra of sixty led by Louis A. Kroll and outdoor, vernal settings that are inherently beautiful and particularly adaptable to “II Trovatore.” Though the Municipal Theater Association last year presented Mascagni’s “Cavallerla Rustlcana” and Flowtow's "Martha.” the production of “II Trovatore” Is expected to surpass these in beauty, for the 1925 offerings were presented with the addition of only two artists to the regular cast. An additional feature of this season s grand opera performances will be their presentation in English. For such a production of "11 Trovatore” ns the Municipal Theatre Association plans, the venture of offering it In English is most novel, but it is expected to prove one of the most enjoyable aspects of the opera and a decided drawing card. -I- -I- -IMi— | ISS BEAUCHAMP, Miss Hoffman, Miss Sommers and Mr. i___ Schaefer of the Indiana College of Music and Fine Arts will present the following pupils In a recital on Saturday morning, July 10, at 10:30 o'clock, in the college auditorium: Phyllis Wright, Mariam Froelich, Charles Buckley, Eva Mae Lombard, Marion F.

Tho game lasted only 51 minutes and. the score was New York, 6; Philadelphia, 1. V • - , , What is tlte difference In meaning between tlte words ‘'speciality” and “specialty”? Th distinction is very fine. “Speciality” is the specific or individual state or quality of being special, a distinguishing quality of any person. Specialty Is an employment limited to one particular line of work, a study or occupation to which one is devoted. The two words may be used lnterehangably. There is, however, the distinction of the individual characteristic as in the following, “tho speciality of Byron’s writing is its passionateness." “Tea and coffee arc our specialties.” Why Is a submarine called a U-boat? It is an abbreviation of the German word for submarine “unterseeboot." What was the name of the hero and the heroine In Ihe movie “The Flirt”? George Nichols and Eileen Percy. Which Is the largest Pyramid? Cheop’s. * Why Is Oklahoma called Ihe "sooner” State? A “sooner” is a person who goes before the appointed time to take up free public land, with a view to getting the most profitable and desirable location. Oklahoma was partly populated by these so-called “soonrs,” hence it is nicknamed the "Sooner State.” When should a child's permanent teeth begin to appear? Tho first four molars, two on each jaw, 5 to 7 years; t,wo lower, front teeth, 5 to 7 years; two upper front teeth, 6 to 8 years: two mi>re upper front teeth and two more lower front teeth, 6 to 8 years. The others should follow until all the teeth except the two upper and two lower third molars have been cut when the child is 14 years old. The two upper and two lower third molars do not come until the person Is between 17 and 25 years. These are general rules and of course there are exceptions.

Tracy What Would the Old Timers Have Thought of Such a Week?

By M. E. Tracy This has been a week of earthquake, thunder and flood. From all quarters of the globe. United Press wires have fairly sizzled with disaster. A Sumatra village, we are told, collapsed with a booming crash. More than one hundred are dead In Egypt. The Mussolini censorship prevents detailed Information as to what occurred In Italy, but it Is thought to have been quite bad. Balkan rivers are swollen by cloudburst and running wild. In olden days, men would have beheld an evil portent In all this, but though science has proceeded fr..* enough to remove euch groundless fears. It Is still baffled. ■M- -ISafety Valves If It were not for earthquakes, observes one authority, the esrth would wreck itself with pent-up emotion. v Sixty miles of feolld, brittle crust, he says. Is saved from being broken to smithereens by eruption and tremblor. Maybe so, but who really knows? Our knowledge, though great, compared to what It once was, 1s still little more than skin deep. We haven’t penetrated the earth much more than a mile and haven't been able to climb Mount Everest. Horizons expand, but with always more behind them than In front. •I- -I- + What We Don't Know We get along very well and seem fairly sure of ourselves, until we move out of the limited perspective to which wo were born, but when we try to contemplate space, or time in thler larger sense, we soon bicome lost. Whether chasing hugs by microscope, or stars by telescope, whether trj-lng to resolve matter Into Its elements by chemistry, or human conduct into Its principles by history, we soon find ourselves compelled to full back on speculation, theory and tho power to rcuson. ' +-HMellowing Time They have exposed little King Tut's head for a curious world to gaze at. If he had been dead only thirty years Instead of 3,000, there would be a universal cry of piotcst and hoiTor. But time mellows all things. .[. .|. .|.
