He made this announcement in con- | mection with a formal statement ex preesing sorrow over the death of the man who for vears had directed the ieague’s activities in the Nationa) Capi tal, but pledging there tvould be "no | retreat” by the organization in its work., sSuggestions that the two offices | Wheeler held—general counsel and leg- | tslative superintendent—might be di- | vided between two men to be selected | te il his place, were met by the state- ment from Dr. Barton that so far as his knowledge of the situation went sentiment within the league appeared | to be in favor of such a change Prediction Is Refused. | The committee chairman declined to | hazard a prediction as to who might be | chosen to succeed Wheeler, and like: wise refused to comment on reports | that his name had been mentioned | prominently with others as a possibil- | ity for the legislative superintendeney. “It was his ability and integrity which caused the liquor forces and thelir friends in and out of Congress to hate him and heap upon him their vitriolic abuse. Their constant effort was to make it appear that he was the Anti-Saloon League in order to in- Jjeet as much of the personal element as possible into their fight, thinking thereby if possible to discredit him and overthrow the prohibition amendment | and Jaw. But their most poisoned darts were never able to reach him, “In his death our forces and our cause have suffered a g loss. While we are grieved we will not be cast down. The workers fall but ths work goes on. There will not be any retreat.” He did net believe, however, that & spogial meeting of the committee would be necessary to fill the posts, nointing out that Wheeler's work had been taken over temporarily by Dr, F. Scott McBride and Edward B. Bun- ford, who was Wheeler's legal assist- ant. The eommittee’s recommendation of & successor or succassors will be re- ported to the League's national board of directors, in whose hands the formal #ppointment rests. Dr. Barton said he probably would leave tomorrow to attend funeral ser- wices for Wheeler at Columbus, Ohio. “The friends and the cause of sohri- ety and civic righteousness have suf-! fered a great sheck and inexpressible sorrew in the death of Wayne B. Wheeler,” he sald in his statement, *But there will be no backward step i the cause of prohibition and in the plans of the League for agressive and persistent work for defending and making effective the elghteenth amendment and the laws enacted for its enforcement.

Our 37 years of heating experience has, of course, made us intensely critical. The reputation as experts, which we have earned through these years, made us extremely cautious in our adoption and recommendation of an Oil Burner. We studied many—and selected the IMPROVED LAWRENCE MAY BURNER as embodying ALL the features to be desired——as the Burner which we know we can indorse in every way—put our reputation behind every one we install.
