NATIONAL PROHIBITION
NOW IN SIGHT
itors were escorted over to the main
building and then back to the “Y.”
At a little after 8 o’clock the fun
proper began. Partners were again
drawn, and the couples passed down
the receiving line. Progressive table
games then occupied attention for a
time, and later, refreshments were
served to all, in homelike fashion, at
the game tables.
Following the games a very pleas
ing entertainment was furnished by
the ladies.
Miss Anita Park and Miss Mildred
Mabee gave readings; Miss Mary Ter
rell, Miss Park and Miss Clara Ma-
whinney gave piano solos, and Miss
Florine Batte sang.
After this humorous, delightful en
tertainment, Mrs. Marsteller, Mrs.
Burns and Mrs. Thomas dispensed
further refreshments of college
whipped cream and cakes, at a table,
during the social hour following.
The time was all too short, and the
guests departed reluctantly.
Those in the receiving line were:
Dr. and Mrs. W. B. Bizzell, Lieut, and
and Mrs. Jas. Hill, Mr. and Mrs. Ber
nard Sbisa, Dr. C. P. Fountain, Dr.
and Mrs. Marsteller, Mr. I. C. Nichols,

Committee Forms Plan for Gigantic
Campaign.
A call has been issued for 3,000 col
lege men to volunteer in the war
against John Barleycorn. The Prohi
bition National Committee, with
headquarters in Chicago, plans to en
list 2,000 of these men by June 1,
1915, and the remainder within the
year following. Fifteen special secre
taries are now traveling among the
colleges and universities of the coun
try enlisting young men for the cam
paign.
The plan of work is one which has
been tried on a small scale during the
past ten years with great success.
During this time about 250 college
men have been employed in various
sections of the country, and the re
sults of their work have been so en
couraging that those in charge of the
National prohibition movement have
decided to enlist enough men to cover
the entire country by a house to house
canvass.
The plan of work will consist of
interviewing every voter and secur
ing his pledge, if possible, to support
only those candidates and parties
committed to National prohibition.
Theoretically, the campaigners will
ring every door bell in the United
States, practically much of the actual
campaigning will be done by volun
teer organization effected by the cam
paigner. In addition to enrolling
voters, it is planned to launch a great
National monthly prohibition paper
and to get a subscription list of 5,-
000,000, the largest in the . history of
newspaper publication. Each voter
who enrolls will be asked to pay ten
cents for a year’s subscription to this
paper. In case he does not do so his
paper will be paid for from a fund
set aside for that purpose.
As a practical illustration of the
results of this sort of campaigning,
the following figures were given for
Minnesota. In 1904, without the aid
of workers, the prohibition vote was
4,000. In 1906, after four months of
campaigning by six young men, it
wak raised to 12,000. In 1908, after
three months of campaigning by six
teen men, it was 32,000. In 1912, af
ter four months of campaigning by
fifty men, it was 55,000. Prohibition
ists have been elected to both Houses
of the Minnesota Legislature since
1906. There are at present eight pro
hibitionists holding seats in that
State.
In Southern California during the
recent campaign forty-two young men
called at every house in Los Angeles
County. The result was the election
of Charles H. Randall, the first pro
hibitionist ever sent to the United
States Congress. On each morning,
beginning in July, forty young men,
most of them from California col
leges, would meet in a conference and
training school for two hours in Pasa
dena. They would then go in a body
to some suburban town or selected
district and campaign the rest of the
day, completing the canvass of the
district selected. In this campaign
Mr. Randall was elected over the
strong opposition of three other po
litical parties, and the California
“dry” movement was carried by a
large vote. The success is attributa
ble very largely to the work of the
young men.
The plan is now to enlist 3,000
young men at army wages—$25 per
month and expenses. The term of
service on this basis being until the
organizer has enrolled 1,666 voters.
When each of 3,000 men shall have
secured his quota, the total will be
5,000,000 voters enrolled, which will
be a sufficient sum to insure National
prohiition.
The average young man will enroll
his quota in from sixty to ninety days.
Some men will do it in one-half the
time. Five thousand have been en
rolled at one meeting.
The prohibition movement is today
offering a great opportunity to those
who want to have a part in the great
est reform movement of the time.
Experience has demonstrated that it
is impossible to employ satisfactory
men on a commercial basis. Heart-
service is essential to success of such
a movement and this cannot be
bought for money. The call is for
soldiers and crusaders who will serve
for the honor of the flag. It is for
the support of sacrifice such as is
manifested by the heroes of every
age, who have seen beyond their own
immediate selfish desires and sur
roundings and whose visions have
grasped the broader needs of hu
manity. Three thousand men thus
consecrated will form an irresisitable
phalanx of power and will insure the
success of the undertaking.
A good start has already been made
for the first one thousand and en
listments are coming in constantly.
Training colleges will be held at the
close of the school year in practically
every State where campaign work
will be done. These training schools
will last ten days and will be in
charge of the most experienced and
capable men in the entire country.
In these schools the enlisted workers
will receive their training which will
fit them to do the actual work of the
campaign. The volunteer movement
is practically in charge of a few col
lege men, chief of whom are V. G.
Hinshaw, Penn College, and J. A.
Shields, Ottawa University, at the
National prohibition headquarters in
Chicago. Those in charge of the field
work are H. E. Kershner of Harvard,
Neil D. Cranmer of Syracuse, E. G.
Lefler, Gustavus Adolphus, S. W.
Grathwell of Pacific College, and Earl
Haydock of the University of South
ern California.
The New York colleges will al be
visited by Mr. Cranmer within the
next ninety days.
CHAPEL NOTES.
Last Sunday the students and
campus people heard a good sermon
from the lips of Father J. M. Kerwin
of LaPorte. Father Kerwin is a very
prominent Roman Catholic in the
State, and labors ceaselessly to bring
about the triumph of the pure, the
clean and the good. At the outbreak
of the Spanish-American War he was
very instrumental in the organization
of a regiment of volunteers and was
its chaplain.
Last Sunday the text was a familiar
one, relative to the parable of sowing
seed on fertile and many kinds of
unfertile ground. And the lesson of
sowing the seeds of knowledge on
fertile ground and giving them the
most careful and consistent culture
was brought home very forcibly to
everyone present.
Father Kerwin has been at the col
lege several times in the past, and
the authorities act wisely in securing
successive appointments for him.
Any information that is desired
concerning the entertainment of visi
tors can be secured by addressing a
communication to Dr. Fountain,
chairman of the arrangements com
mittee, or to Mr. Steger.

BELGIAN RELIEF.
The editor has received the follow
ing communication:
“The Sophomore class for Bible
study has sent off $20 to be used for
sustaining life in a few unfortunates
as a result of the war. A part of this
amount was contributed by persons
outside of the class. We thank you
on behalf of the sufferers.
“This amount is hardly a drop in
the bucket, considering the millions
of people who must be cared for all
thru the winter, but our little bit and
your little bit will surely sustain
somebody’s life for a little while
longer.
“This is a mighty good chance for
a few ‘sacrifice bits.’ Your batting
average may not be as high in the
final count, but St. Peter will con
sider all those sacrifice bits when he
sums you up from the big score board.
“Think it over. Don’t pass up a
chance to keep somebody’s mother or
sister from actual starvation.
