Fighting Prohibition
'"'he unceasing efforts which have
uatcd the organization work pre
liminary to the opening of the actual
campaign for funds must be continu
ed tight through to- the last minute.
Thero must bo no relaxation any
where."
"The same tireless energy that hav
rarked the successful tight to drlve
from America the legalized sale of li
quar must continue through this
e movement to provide the sinews o
war with which to enforce the lawi
th have banished the traffic and
to ,ntinue the attack upon it in oth
or .%nds whore it has taken foothold
"The liquor element boasts that 1
has billions of dollars with which t(
defoat Prohibition; that if it canno
break it down in the courts it v% l
mako prohibition so offensive and th
laxity in enforcement so notoriou
that the people will demand a retur:
to the legalized saloon.
Hardest Fight Ahead.
"Advised by able counsol, led b
Elihu Root, they hope to make cond
tions so intolerable and the violation
so flagrant that the people of th
ednntry will become disgusted wit
the situation and will prefer liquc
mid openly by legal action to the ui
lioonacd reign of the 'blind tiger' .n
the 'bootlegger.'
"No thinking maan can doubt thi
Prohibition right now has its hardel
fii(at ahead of it. We have legislate
thre saloon out of business, hut it
naing a determined fight to con
hack. Th le liquor' forces, driven 1
the last ditch, arc making the bards
light of their lives. Renewed a
tacks now are being mnadle in ti
curts to nullify the Prohibitic
laws.
"While those legal moves doubtle
will be checkmated by the able cou
iadA apresonting the drys, it cannot i
done without great expense. If 1

Calling to the South.
"The Prohibition forces are calling
now to the South to finish the job.
Here, where Prohibitton was cradled,
is the place to set the pace and blaze
the way for the balanco of the nation
and the world.
"This campaign does not propose to
interfere with Individuals; it is wag
ing no war on tobacco; it is driving
only toward enforcement of the law
already on the statute booku and the
enactment of others that may be
necessary to reinforce them.
"It is intended primarily as a cam
paign of education. Literature to
counteract the propaganda of the wets
is being di3seminated, meetings wil
be held and dry candidates will be
supported against those of the wets
for every political office from presi
dent downward.
"Officers charged with enforcement
of the Prohibition laws will be en
couraged and upheld co long as they
do their full duty and those who are
lax will be vigorously opposed at the
polls."
"In addition to the great work ol
law enforcement and combatting the
liquor propaganda in this countr3
there Is the greater task of carrying
the war on liquor traffic into othei
countries.
World Dry By 1930.
"World Prohibition by 1930 is thi
aim of the dry forces.
"Routed from America, many of thi
distillers and brewers are planning ti
resume their business in China ani
other countries where the liquor tral
fic still holds away. Already liquo
runners are preparing to bring liquo
t int% tills country by airplane fror
Cuba. Mexico and the West Indies.

i Europo and Central and South Amei
i ica are calling to us for aid. We mus
see that they are not dijappointe(
They see what we have accomplishe
boro and they are looking to us t
show them the way.
o "To successfully combat the effort
of the liquor interest at home, to hee

terests aro seking to become intrenc!

tappropriation for this purpose for 19:
is woefully insufficient and that
will be impossiblie for the federal go

Sapphires and Diamonds.
The sapphire is I)robably not as val
unble as the diamond, roughly sronk
ing, although comparison is difficult,
owing to taste in color, and to the dif
fering values as size increases. For
instance, the price of a diamond rises
in proportion to the square of its
weight, a two-carat stone bringing four
thies ao i much as one of one carat.
(Lm me adil that 151% carats equal
