Carlson The churchy militant is the greatest factor in the crusade against the liquor traffic, and was of the. 18th amendment. There are, It rs true, the anti saloon league with Its Wayne B. Wheeler, whose recent death sad dened the dry forces or tne na tion; the prohibition party with it never failing, support of tem perance Ideals; and the Women's i Christian Temperance union. Yet, what Is the league but a group of paid workars, operating on money raised by the churches; the prohibition .party but an. asso- elation of a few earnest souls, ion since outlived in usefulness; anf the W. C. T. U. but an outgrowth of church organization? The church, almost from its very beginning In this country, commenced the campaign for tem perance. Nearly 200 ecclesiastics have lost their lives in the move ment, vlctijjs of bootlegger's bul lets. And nowhere in the ranks can be found a more able foe of liquor than Clarence True Wilson, secretary of the temperance, pro hibition, and public morals board of "the Methodist church. He main tains an office at the nation's cap Itol, and spends his time lobbying in congress in the Interests of the dry forces.

After Dr wilson had vehemently con demned the liquor forces. Colonel Hofer would get up and make nu merous harsh remarks about the prohibitionists. The two protagon ists then would adjourn togetner to gome quiet confectionery and sip contentedly from a milk shake or soda water.

At a late hour last night at least three machines, piloted by Verne Bookwalter, Arthur Borne and James Rinehart, had not been hard from. Word was wired from the Port land airport to Salem asking that a close watch be kept here. Watchers Disappointed The main race did not pass suf ficiently close to Salem yesterday to permit its being seen from this city. Reports from Silverton in dicated that several of the planes had passed within sight of that city, it being more nearly on the direct course taken by the air racers. It was suggested in some quar ters that the decision of all the aviators to steer clear " of Salem was due to a reputation gained by this city when a local photo grapher attempted to take a pho tograph of Colonel Lindbergh when he passed over here, near ly crashing into Lindbergh's ma- 1 clilne" and causfng him to flee hastily instead of circling the city as be did at most of. the points where he passed over.

(AP) Hours after the five Class A and three of the six class B racers in the San Francisco-Spokane derby had passed over here on their way north, no word was received of Verne Bookwal ter Vancouver, Wash., entray in class B, and Arthur Borne, Los Angeles pilot, who had Robert Grey as a passenger In a mono plane. Borne -also was a class B flier. Bookwalter left Medfortf at 8:36 a. m., one minute ahead of James Rinehart, of Portland, and was believed to have encountered a heavy fog which caused Rlne hart toT land at Camas Valley. Rinehart damaged his landing gear in a cow pasture. Borne got lost in the fog after taking off at Medford, and made his way back to that cKy at noon.

The-streets were - thronged as never before, and there was some thing doing for everybody Just as if watching the rest of the crowd wouldn't have been suffic ient entertainment. .
