of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
will convene its quadrennial session
here beginning June 8 at beautiful
Bennett college, the school for young
women maintained by the church. The
conference will be composed of a
bout 100 delegates elected from the
19 area conferences which serve the
j 330,000 Negro members of the ME.
j denomination. The church program
for the next four years will be out
lined at this meeting and two regular
bishops and a missionary bishop will
be elected. The former two will fill
the vacancies occasioned by the re
tirement on account of age of Bishop
Robert E. Jones of Columbus, O.,
and the death of \V. A. C. Hughes of
Baltimore.
1 here are a number of aspirants
for the bench, all of them consistent
---
with M. E. tradition, men of high
attainment and splendid ability. The
four Negro bishops become part of
the 32 effective bishops who compose
the council of bishops and have
charge of the whole ME. church. An
effort is made to select men who can
measure up with the white members
of the bench.
Candidates, ranked somewhat in ac
cordance with their apparent position
in the race, include the Rev. Robert
Brooks, New Orleans, editor, the
Southwestern Christian Advocate,
who prior to assuming his present
post, taught church history at Gam
mon Theological seminary, Atlanta;
the Rev. D. W. Henry, pastor of the
famous Tindley Temple in Philadel

"Unwise/7 They Say, "To Raise The
Prohibition Issue When Unity Is
Most Needed.“
Director of the Brewing Industry**
self regulation program in Nebras
ka; prominent member of state
bar; former county attorney, state
senator; U. S. District Attorney
during prohibition era.
The Anti-Saloon League of America
recently issued this statement concern
ing national prohibition:
“Since the war powers already conferred
upon the President.enable the gov
ernment to cope with unsatisfactory liquor
conditions, we deem it unwise and unneces
sary to raise the ... . issue of national
prohibition at a time when unity is most
needed. A decision upon such a far-reach
ing Federal policy should .... be left
(until) millions of men now in the armed
forces can participate in the decision.
“For these reasons the League is not unit
ing in the appeal for the enactment of war
prohibition legislation .... at this time.”
Paraphrasing the Anti-Saloon League
statement, we believe Nebraska citizens
generally subscribe to the following:
“Since the powers already conferred upon
the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission
enable it and other enforcement agencies to
cope with any unsatisfactory liquor condi
tions, we deem it unwise to raise the issue
of state-wide prohibition at a time when
unity is so much needed. A decision should
await the return of the thousands of Ne
braska men now in the armed forces.
“For these reasons, Nebraska citizens
should not support the petitions for state
wide prohibition through the initiative
petition method at this time.”
The liquor situation in Nebraska is entirely satisfactory to most citizens. This
state has one of the best Liquor Control Statutes in the nation. We have a
Liquor Control Commission which functions ably. Since ENFORCEMENT of
this good law is all that could possibly be asked, every citizen should back up
the enforcement authorities to the limit, and concentrate on winning the war
. . . instead of raising a needless issue which would only distract our people
and divide our war effort during what may be America’s most crucial year.

Did you notice this United
Press dispatch which ap
peared recently in the
World-Kerald? This gives
the answer to those who
favor socialization of the
"other fellow's" business.
The above quotation in
the headline, taken from
the news article, tells the
whole story of public
ownership, be it the rail
roads, medicine, insur
ance, electricity, or any
other business or service.
Here in Omaha, business
and professional people,
generally, are fully aware
*• that one can't start a so
cialistic plague and keep
it away from his own
door.
The few men who are seeking to force our Company
out of private business and socialize your electric
service would be the first to cry "wolf-wolf" if an
effort were made to socialize theii interests.
With kindest personal regards.
Sincerely yours,
