Heavenward Ho!

The international aspect of U. S. prohibition was the theme of a Conference of Drys, The World League Against Alcoholism, which met last week at Winona Lake, Ind. In colorful language, several speakers depicted what U. S. prohibition means to the rest of the world and how the rest of the world affects U. S. prohibition.

Bishop Thomas Nicholason, of Detroit, President of the Anti-Saloon League of America: "Without offensive interference with the affairs of other nations, we are, in a: real sense, trustees of the world. If we have any good things, we must share them. To that end, we shall carry on this great worldwide campaign."

Wayne B. Wheeler, General Counsel and Legislative Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League: "If we confess that we cannot enforce our laws we cease to be a Nation. . . . Human progress will be turned back and the current now steadily setting toward a Golden Age will lose its force in a backwater. . . ."

Dr. F. Scott McBride, General Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League: "I find no fault with the foreign countries using their money to pay their honest war debts obligated to this country to them during the war, but I emphatically protest against the use of foreign money within the bounds of the United States of America to break down our Constitution and to trample our flag in the 'dust."

In Kansas city doing whirlwind electioneering, H. P. Paris, Prohibition nominee for President, declared:

"If we had one dollar to the hundreds the big parties have, we'd win this election. . . ."
