By this token the Methodic Hpisropa! church must provide durin the next generation for 80,000 tu dents in their own institutions am' "or the religious care of 80,000 additional students in the statu and indi pendent universities.

The act, lie said, strengthened the hands of the prohibition forces in dealing with the alleged medicinal preparations sold on the open market and used for beverage purposes ami also limits the activities of "the few physicians" who were issuing prescriptions for liquor to people not actually requiring it. "No embarrassment in the enforcement of prohibition," Mr. Iliynes said"is anticipated from the provision imposing penal liability upon officers earching other property without warrants maliciously and without reasonable cause. The olfijeers are gi.en fair warning that they must not search dwellings without warrants md no attempts to do so will be made. It will he a very rare case in which, under the act, an officer can be prosecuted on account of the search of othr property. Before a case against an officer can be sustained it will be .ccr sary to show not only that the flie r did not have a warrant but that . icted maliciously and without probable cause. "It. therefore, appears that so long ?is prohibition otlirors tavo reasonable round for suspecting a violation of lie prohibition act they can not be punished for searching property other s han a dwelling without a warrant. \"o substantial decrease in the activi- j ies of prohibition officers is anticianted as the result of the new act and am entirely confident that the United States attorneys and the department of jusliel? are not going to insli'ute proceedings against officcYs ex*?"pt in the case of a wilful and wan'on search by an officer without reasonable grounds for doing so."
