Foreign-born Americans who had been unable to visit their old homes for some time were anxious to avail themselves of opporsunity. Native-born Ameri- cans through war contacts had come to have a lively interest in Europe. TFhe general prosperity the nation and the increased standard of living made feasible the one time luxury of a trip abroad. More important, however, were the actiyities of the steamship lines In 1923 one of the largest lines cre- ated the tourist third class in what w formerly the steerage and offered round- trip passage at $160. The response was immediate and soon turned into a de- mand. The following year other lines tried the same plan The suc of the tourist steera prompted the creation of another service for moderate-priced Buropean tours Some freight ships which had been built to meet thg emergency demand of the war and a number of passenger ships were converted into one-class cabin boats. Burope on its part has added mater- jally to the accommodations and attrac- tions offered these vistors. Improve- ments in railroad service, remodeling old hotels and building new ones along the Jines of American enterprise, the forma- tion of special commissions to encour- age tourists and establishment of rail- road representatives in America are some of the commercial ventures.

(New York The Anti-Saloon League is always badgering “the Church” for funds. By “the Church” is meant such people as contribute to the budget of the little oligarchy at Westerville, Ohfo, which exists, as if General Superintendent, the Rev. F. Scott McBride, has testified, ‘“for the making, marketing and mobilizing of public sentiment.” Last year in Illinois the League tried to milk the churches and market public sentiment against Mr. Hugh Magill, Independent candidate for Sen- ator and rigid prohibitionist, and in favor of Colonel Smith, who for modification if the people voted for it—as they did. There was much dissatisfaction on the part of many members of “the Church” in Illinois. This may explain in part why the Baptist Northern Convention has refused to vote §10,000 to the League; and this at a time when, as Superintendent McBride stout- ly “instead of laying down we are doubling our efforts” to stock the campaign chest. The convention to responsibility of Times.) was also declined commending “the Anti-Saloon League to the churches an agency of the churches in the fight to enforce the prohibition law.” To so commend it in the face of a record always curious and sometimes unsavory would be to guarantee an agency of which the guarantors | might have frequent cause to be ashamed, and which notoriously Ras been losing the confidence of a considerable part of the religious element which it has so long successtully “worked.” Fur- ther to show distrust of the League and to deny) it the rosanct character which it has always { assumed, the- convention refused to vote that the Westerville marketers ‘‘should be cherished and | suppoted by all loyal citizens.” The convention was composed of |and representatives of the Northern Baptist | churches. It may be conjectured that, apart from the peccadilloes in which some servants of | the League have been caught and the growing perception of their ‘unwisdom and violence, their: characteristic dictatorial arrogance and habit of) despotic command are peuliarly offensive to the Baptists, in whom the old instinct of separatism has left strong individualist and independent spirit. Indeed, it has always been puzzling to find any of the inheritors of Roger Williams and his concepts of toleration and freedom submitting| to the Anti-Saloon League. The Southern Baptists may still be gemerally faithful; and the Methodists, North and South, more elaborately organized. But at least a part of “the Church” seems to have “found out” the nature of the prosperous collector, lobbyist and hoss, which takes the name of the Anti-Saloon League. take the delegates | conquerer ever came home to/ than has been accorded Colonel Lindbergh.
