Dry Law Repeal
to Be Held Here
National Liberty League Issues
Call—Program Is Attacked
by Local W. C. T. U.
Members.
Plan* for a mass meeting In Oma
ha this coming fall, to urge repeal or
modification of the Volstead act, are
being made, It was announced yester
day-by) Don E. Bebow, secretary
treasurer of the National I.iberty
league, who recently requested Gov.
A1 Smith of New York to be one of
the speakers, following the latter's
signature to the bill repealing New
Y'ork's prohibition enforcement act.
Mr. Debow said he expected citi
zens from other states as well as
Nebraska would attend the meeting.
Efforts were also made, he atated, to
secure Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor
and United States Senator James A.
Reed, democrat, Missouri, as speakers.
Governor Smith thus far, however,
has not Indicated whether he would
attend.
legalization under government reg
ulation and control of the manufcture
and sale of light wines and beers. Is
the object of the league, which was
organized three months ago, with its
national headquarters here. Mr De
bow said, adding that organization
work is being extended and that state
managers had been employed In Mis
souri, Illinois and Iowa.
To FirM State l.aws.
“Repeal or mod tkation of the Yol
stead act is our first object, follow
ing w-hlch state prohibtion laws will
be taken up for attack,” Mr. Debow
declared.
Mr. Debow said the meeting probab
ly would be held some time between
September 25 and October 1. during
which time Omaha's fall festival,
Ak-Sar-Ben. will be in progress.
Mrs. M. D. Veinn, president of the
Douglas County Woman's Christian
Temperance union, asserted that the
activities of the National Liberty
league are being closely watched by
her organization.
“There will lie strong opposition
from us If there Is any attempt to
modify the Volstead act or to repeal
this law." Mrs. Veino said. “Any
provision that would modify the ISth
amendment or the Volstead act would
be going backward. There Is no
question that prohibition as vve would
like to have it is the best thing for
this country.
Doubts Regulation.
“How could light wines and heer
be regulated, as proposed? They are
trying to make it appear that the peo
pie's liberties are being infringed
upon.”
Mre. O W Coveil, who has labored
many years in Omaha for the cause
of prohibition, said: “Give the wets
enough rope and they will hang them
selves. The more they agitate, the
hetter it will he for the drys.
. -VlA'hen the people of this country
learn that a group has handed to
gether to strike at the constitution of
the United States, they will put down
this rebellious clause as they have
suppressed oth**r rebellions.”
Action "Unpatriotic."
Mrs. W. T Graham: “1 have the
same respect for the 18th amendment
^ that I have for the constitution. The
Vroposed action of the National Lib
erty league is unpatriotic. These
people who are attempting to repeal or
modify the Volstead act are disloyal
"The constitution provides how
they should proceed. If any modi
fication to the 18th amendment should
he desir"d through public sentiment,
then It should be obtained through
the same process that was observed
when the amendment itself was en
acted. The piocram of this liberty
league Is not honorable.''

Dictator Mussolini
Believes in Words
of Fortune T eller
Patron of Rosconi
Paris, .lime 9.—The most super
stitions ruler in Kurope is Premier
Benito Mussolini, according to para
graphs published in the French
press.
Like Wallenstein, who consulted
the astrologer Zeno, Dictator Mus
solini pays regular visits to an
astrologer named Rosconi at Milan.
Rosconi leaped into Italian tame
when. In 1919, a simple private in
lha Prenrh army, he predicted that
the war would end on the day It did
end—November 11. No striking was
the prophecy that his relatives
wished to have him locked up In an
Insane asylum, but this he escaped
owing to the Intervention of Mus
solini.
Then Rosconi predicted the ad
vent to power of Musaollnl, being
correct even to the month n( the
Black Hhlrt revolution.
Ills latest prophecy Is I list s new
world war will start within 10
ysars. He refuses to divulge Ihe
combatants, but says ‘'Italy will he
victorious and will annex new
territories."
Mussolini Is said to place great
fait! tf» his predictions.
