The vote by which the national
house of representatives Monday
night passed the bill to prevent
the sale of beer as a medicine
shows that the' prohibit ion forces
are in the saddle in Washington
and are alert to the wishes of the
country in allowing no opening
wedge to be inserted in the liquor
laws. All this talk about beer
being good for the > sick is so
much bunk?it is principally
useful to fatten Germans and
hogs?and was spread broadcast
mcr me country ov tlie liquor
interests who foresaw that if they
could induce Congress to modify
the prohibition laws by allowing
beer to be sold on physicians'
prescriptions there would be
opened a thousand and one ways
for the sale of beer and that eventually
it would result in the undermining
vof the whole of the
prohibition laws. The anti-prohibition
agitation, confined in the
main to the big cities which have
large German and Jewish populations,
will have to be watched,
however. The victory in the
house of representatives Monday
night does not mean that the agitation
is at an end. On the contrary,
the liquor interests are rich
and powerful and it will require
constant vigilance 011 the part ot'
the Anti-Saloon league and other
societies and individuals promoting
good government to checkmate
the moves of their organiza
tions and lobbyists in Washington
and elsewhere.
The power of the American
pre^s to interes* the public in a
particular subject is strikingly
illustrated in the prize fight
which is to take place at Jersey
City Saturday between Dempsev,
American, and the Frenchman
Carpentier. For the last month
or six weeks practically all the
daily papers and many of the
weeklies have published article
after article describing the ring
prowess of the two men and telling
of the prospects of eaeh to
wiu the fight.* The press associations
have daily sent out dispatches
from the training quarters
of both men, to be supplemented
in many . of the larger
papers by articles from special
writers So it has come to pass
that however distasteful prizefighting
may be to the average
man, he has recently seen so much
in print ubout the two men to
meet July 2 for the heavyweight
championship of the world that
unwittingly and unwillingly he
feels a certain amount of interest
in the outcome of the fight,
albeit he is aware of the fact
that it will draw together more
plug-uglies, low-brows and other ;
Hnpinuu a f ?U 1 '
-r?-v0 vi uiugH ana tougns than \
have ever before assembled in
one place. This interest has been
heightened by the impression
many of the press writers have
sought, not unsuccessfully, to
create that there is involved in
the fight a matter of patriotism,
that should Derapsey be defeated
it will mean humiliation for
America, and that therefore it is ,
the duty of every citizen of the j
country to at least hope the;
Frenchman will have to take the
count. There is nothing to this
line of reasoning. Ordinarily
Americans, however degrading
nnd immoral they consider prizefighting.
would prefer to see an
American hold the championship,
but in the fight between Demp- '
sey and Carpentier to many it is!

% matter of no moment whether
the American wins.' There is the
unsavory odor about Dempsey of
i&ving been a slacker in the
World war and notwithstanding
his acquittal q? the charge by a
federal jury? that j\iry did not
ilo the thinldng of the country.
Carpentier, on the other haiul,
early was in the trenches for his
native country and did his duty
from first to last as a soldier;For

side of the Atlautie who will

Census figures recently made
public give the surprising information
that 45 million of the 105
million people in this country are
affiliated with some religious denomination.
.Church membership
has doubled in the last 20 years,
whereas the population of the
United States lias increased but
68 per" cent. This growing realization
of spirituui value must
soon have its effect on this age
of materialism. This materialism,
expressed in eating, drinking,
spending, competing in display
with one's neighbors, in a general
empnusis on exterior trimmings
rat iter tliun interior values, culminated
in such false ideals of
life that the inevitable outlet was
a clash of arms involving the
whole world, liven today it is
collected in a lower staiulurd of
morality, in selfishness, in avarice,
in gross appetites leading to
grosser indulgences. Hut the pendulum
is on the backward swing.
1 here is duwning in the minds of
constantly growing millions a
vision of life that places the spirit
above the material things of
life. It may not be a religious
renaissance, but it is bound to
result, in individual realization
that a personal readjustment of
moral values is the first requisite
for a spiritually awakened nai
ion.
