RQTARIANS ARE WELCOMED BY CLUBFOUNDER Delegates Are Greeted to Chicago by Paul Harris, President Emeritus. B Vnitrtl Pm* CHICAGO, June 24.—1f Rotary is to realize its proper destiny, it must be evolutionary at all times, revolutionary on occasions, Paul P. Harris, founder and president-emeritus of Rotary International, declared today at the opening plenary session of the organization’s twentyflth annniversary convention. When Harris appeared before the thousands of delegates at the Chicago stadium to deliver his address, "Welcome Home to Chicago,” he was greeted with thunderous applause. He was acclaimed as the Chicago lawyer who had thought it worth while a generation ago to bring together a few of his business friends in the spirit of "service above self” — a spirit which since has gone around the world and given Rotary a membership of 153,000 men. As president emeritus of Rotary, the lawyer participated Monday night in the colorful pageant that pictured for the delegates the expansion of the service club since he gave it its inception nearly a generation ago. In a brief talk he laid particular emphasis on the organization’s program of spreading international good will. The pageant brought before the assembled delegations an impressive procession in which Marie Bruce, as "Miss Chicago,” led the way across the stadium arena. She was followed by surviving members of the first Rotary Club and their part in the service club's founding occasioned tremendous applause. Behind came past presidents of the organization and finally, in picturesque native costume, marched representatives of the sixty-four nations to which Harris' idea has spread.

With apostle Russell on one side of him, and apostle Kresge on the other, He would have been tried in court, with the Anti-Saloon League demanding that the last ounce of penalty be laid upon His back. The scene in the gilded ballroom, where the money raising dinner is to be held, is impressive. The speakers’ table is decorated with flags. The tables are laid with silver and fine linen. All the big rich who can be persuaded to attend are there. The magic word painter, James A. White, Iron Ohio, is introduced. "No money is tainted if the AntiSaloon League can get heold of it,” he exclaims in his opening sentence. He proceeds with great eloquence and oratorical power. Before he has spoken five minutes, you are almost convinced that congress is in

special session repealing the prohibition law, and resubmitting the eighteenth amendment to conventions of the people, with implied instruction to destroy it there. # n THE vicious wets have entered into a foul conspiracy to unhorse prohibition. They are spending millions. The prohibition fight must be won over again. Are the forces of righteousness represented in this divine gathering going to keep their money in their fists and let the apostles lose this Christian fight? No, siree! A thousand times no. After this preliminary Dr. Russell, founder of the divine AntiSaloon League, is introduced to take charge of the meeting. His loving task is to introduce the permanent chairman, the financial angel of the league, Sebastian S. Kresge. But before introducing the chairman, Dr. Russell can not repress the desire to tell the gathering how he and Mr. Kresge themselves, with-

out any considerable aid from the other apostles, but the eighteenth amendment into the Constitution of the United States. I shall not repeat Dr. Russell’s self-administered eulogy. I shall condense his facts into a few sentences. When the eighteenth amendment was pending in congress, Dr. Russell and Mr. Kresge sent thirty-five different, highpowered letters of solicitation to each of 135,000 business men and manufacturers in the United States for money and support. The letters were effective. Thirteen thousand —less than 10 per cent, to be accurate —responded. A few days before the vote was to be taken, the tw r o apostles met in Kresge’s office in Detroit. Out of the 13.000 they selected 2,400 to whom they sent telegrams urging them to flood congress with telegrams demanding submission of the amendment. n m “■fTTE blocked the telegraph wires Win Washington for three days,” Dr. Russell says, very modestly. “Then congress surrendered The first to bear the white flag was Senator Warren Harding of Ohio. He sought me out and told me he was opposed personally to the amendment. But since there was such unanimity of sentiment among the business men and manufacturers, he would submerge his own opinion, and vote • for submission,

provided a rider was attached that it must be ratified in six years. We got it changed to seven.” You will search the history of evangelism in vain for any parallel act of salvation. But I have not finished the story of the meeting of Dr. Russell’s apostles. Mr. Kresge is introduced in a wild burst of applause. He is extremely modest, he hopes that all will use the American and not the Polish pronunciation cf his name. He wishes that somebody engaged in something more dignified than the “five and ten” chain store business might have been selected as chairman. He introduced another speaker, who announces that we are going to get right down to business now. nun ‘"pASS out the cards, pass out the cards, pass out the cards,” he shouts. "Get your pencils. Sign the checks. Prohibition is in peril. Give till it hurts. Don’t leave the room with a dollar in your pockets. Sign the subscription cards for all

that you can give for the next five years.” The band booms out “Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before.” Everywhere apostles arise and sing while the diners sign. Now the tune is the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” As it changes to “Who Is on the Lord's Side?” Dr. Russell arises and waves for silence. He holds a card in his hand. “I wish to announce,” he says, “that Mr. Kresge has signed the pledge for half a million dollars.” That was as far as he got. Pandemonium broke loose. Around the room ‘Kresge gives half a million” echoed and re-echoed. n u u PROHIBITION had been saved! The apostles could rest their weary bones or the plush seats of Pullman cars as *iey returned home. The fight for prohibition would keep up as long as Kresge’s and supplemental funds kept coming in. It was a great day. The divine institution had insured safety for at least another year for its barbaric, tyrannical law. Next day hundreds of more prisoners were put “upon

They were to be put away for a long time.i They were to wear prison stripes and . eat prison fare. The rich food and the luxurious surroundings of the Mayflower hotel were to be no part of their lot in the future. Their companions were to be criminals in fact or criminals by fiat of the law.
