STARTS AGITATION TO
HAVE DENMARK
GO DRY
Leader Of Danish Liberal Par.
ty Behind Movement to
Drive John Barleyoorn Out
Of Country.
COPENHAGEN GOES
CARNEG1E-MAD

(Associatcd Press Correspondence
Copenhagcn. sept 25.--f. G. Chris
tcnHen. leader OF the Liberal party,
has started an Agitation for statewide
prohibition in Denmark. Not Iona
ago the Liberal party successfully
fathcred bill which enforces inn
pQrtant restrictions on the sale Of
il4i0r IN bars Restaurants and SINH
lar places, and the Liberal leader ev-
idently intends to follow this up with
"a law enforcing total prohibition Of
the sale OF intoxicants In Denmark.
During the past few years the Dam
ish people have become more and
more ahatemlous m their habits, and
az the younger generation s. espc-
ciaily temperate. the agitation for
prohibition Is not based on any grow
ing insobriety on the part OF the peo-
pie Of the country.
In explaining why the Liberal
party. which stands for a large meas
ure OF personal liberty. should be
backing such bill. Mr.. Christensen
SAYS alcohol Is a poison and that the
state should forbid and regulate Ia
Use just ais Il does In the case Of
other recognized poisons.
Until the late temperance leglsla-
ton went into effect, Denmark had
depended upon education 20 fight the
evils Of intemperance and this IL the
first time the advocates Of the pro-
hibitlon movement have sought gov
eminent regulation Of the liquor trait
Tic.
Il II believed that the people will
.acguiesce In the proposed legislation
In spite Of the alleged attack on per-
sonal liberty. which they feel must
be limited for the benefit Of the cora
munlty. Same Of the leading Liberal
papers have protested strongly
against the bill, one pointing out that
a person Is not educated BY making
him incapable Of managing his own
affairs, hut By letting him live his
lie in the largest possible liberty un-
der the responsibility OF himself and
the community.
The opposition papers attack the
minister's new policy and lnsinuate
that u Is FOR the purpose OF catching
votes.

BANKERS SIDE OF
"FARM CREDITS"

Alexandria, La, April 17.-Just
what the farmer is to expect from the
banker. formed the basis of spirited
discussion at the opening here today
of the Louisiana Bankers association
annual convention. In an address on
"The Bankers Broad Shoulders" Hen
ry v. Broussard declared that because
banks will not advance money on a
second mortgage on a second-rate,
one-horse, rundown farm at the same
interest rate as is charged for the
same service to the man who hands
in gilt edged security that can be
sold in one minute by telephone with
out moving from a desk, it seems that
the banker is singled out as a loan
shark thousand times worse than
Shylock. In conclusion Mr.. Broussard
declared that the farmers had always
received a square deal from the bank
ers and that the present agitation is
based more on considerations of SEN
timent than business.
