FLAYS PROHIBITION
Congressman Bartholdt Fiercely At
tacks Its Adv coates.
PREDICTS RUDE AWAKENING
vice to Nail the Human Family to
cross Of King Alcohol--caIls II a
"Pipe Dream"

"Pipe Dream"
Washington April 30.-A spirited at.
tack ON prohibition was made by Rep.
resentatlye Richard Bartholdt. of Mis-.
souri,. before the house committee on
the District OF Columbia. which has
under consideration the Sims bill pro.
viding for prohibition In the district.
Prohibition is a devilish device to
nail the human family more securely
TO the cross of King Alcohol" he de.
clared. He also declared that the pro
iessional prohibitlonists had corral.
ed women and children" and that they
had cracked the whip" over state
legislatures Nov" he continued.
they are trying to crack the whip
over the congress of the United States.
But this attempt We must regard not
as a command but as a danger signal.
Above all things We must remember
that prohibition does not succeed in
its purpose and that 1t does nothing
but promote lawess drunkenness
Mr.. Barthuldt intimated that II the
prohibitionists kept up their crusade
the opponents to the movement may
do some crusadng themselves.
III this thing goes on" he said. "if
these prohibitionists open the pan
doras box OF government inquiry and
prohibition. We may go still farther
than even they intended We may
investigate whether or not many
American homes are deserted because
the wives and mothers spend their
time on the streets and on the hust.
ings agitating for prohibition. We
may try 20 ascertain whether or not
many of the so-called Temperance
drinks" which are consumed by Amer
lean women in sickcning quantities
are alcoholic. and do endless harm
Mr. Bartholdt said that outside of
insanity there Is only one other state
oil mind which cannot be reached by
- .r force OF reason and that state is
fanaticism. The pipe dream Of these
people" he continued lis bound TO be
followed by rude awakening. The
realization will surely come that legis-
lation is always a failure in this line "
He claimed that prohibition was
parading lin the responsibility Dor.
rowed from the garments Of church
movement" that its advocates ascribcd
TO the demon" all the failings Of
youth. all our Ills, all the matrimonial
troubles of the world. and ridiculed
s+icA ideas.
A disregard for the constitution was
another charge made by MIR Bartholdt
against the prohibition leaders They
are willing to spit on the constitution"
he said. Sin order to carry their point "
He told the committee that its mem.
bers would be called patriots by pos.
terlty for refusing to tear down our
constitutional liberties without duly
considering the matter" and said that
this was the most important subject
now before congress.
