...dispute among Drys as well as Wets. The Wets, of course, flayed the idea as a further encroachment on Liberty, a further botching of a bad law. They said it would make millions of additional criminals, fill jails beyond the bursting point. Drys were divided in their opinion. Bishop James Cannon Jr. and Senator Watson of Indiana were favorable. Such potent Drys as Idaho's Borah and Nebraska's Norris were opposed. The Anti-Saloon League weaseled, said it would consult its attorney. The press agent of the Methodists announced: "The amendment is particularly needful because...

While a phonograph pushed up against amplifiers played "I've Got a Feeling I'm Falling" and the crowd screamed as no World Series crowd has screamed for a decade, Simmons hit a home run; Foxx, Miller, Dykes, Boley and Bishop singled.

Charles Lewis Slattery, Bishop of Massachusetts, who ranks as a moderate liberal. Rumors that John Pierpont Morgan, Senior Warden of St. John's, Locust Valley, L. I., heavy contributor to the diocese of New York, is to pay the publication costs are unfounded. What Mr. Morgan will pay for is a limited edition, on heavy paper, large type, handset, to be distributed to Bishops and deputies to the General Convention...
...movement chiefly among Protestants. The Presbyterian Board of Christian Education joined its potent propagandizing arm (Department of Moral Welfare) with 30 other temperance organizations including the Anti-Saloon League of America. Among those present in Washington last week to organize the all-embracing Co operative Committee were Bishop Thomas Nicholson (president) and Francis Scott McBride (general superintendent) of the Anti-Saloon League; President Ella Alexander Boole of the W. C. T. U.; Chairman (Bishop) James Cannon Jr., of the Board of Temperance and Social Service of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South and President (Bishop) William Fraser Mc Dowell...
