EFFECT OF PROHIBITION
DISCUSSED IN SERMON
DIR. Mnelnchlnn Claims II Would Not
Hurt business or Rinse
Taxes.
LETTERS FROM SOUTHERN STATES
Correspondents Report Decrease In
Number of Arrests for Drunkenness
Since Atlanta Adopted Prohibition.

In discussing tho question. Docs
prohibition hurt business and raiso
taxes?" the Rev. II. ID. c. Maclachlan,
ID. d.. pastor of Seventh Street Chris
tian Church. last night answered the
query by reading replies he had re-
ceivcd in answer to several catcgnrt
cal questions he had asked of NOR
chants i'll North Carolina and Georgia.
In effect the replies were that crimi-
nal expenses had been decreased. that
the public schools had gone forward
and that the majority OF the people
would not vote TO repeal the proh!hi-
ton laws. y letter from Atlanta stated
that Georgia went dry In 1908, and
that In 1913 there had been 5000 ar
rests Tor drunkenness. while in 1907,
a year before prohibition went into ef-
feet. there wers 1000 arrests for
drunkenness. This contrast was
shown Notwithstanding that the popu-
lation had increased by one-third. The
writer stated that there way no chance
al repeal Of the prohibition statutes.
\ letter from Wilson. y. c.. stated
that less whiskcy waa being drunk
since prohibition went into effect than
before. and that there had been no
Increase in tho tax ate. Judge Wal
ter Clarke, of the Supreme Court OF
North Carolina. wrote to say that ii
the question should arise again. North
by 100000 majority. There had been
some increase in the taxes. the jurist
wrote, but this had been for roads and
schools. rhe tenor Of several other
letters read by DR.. Maclachlan was
similar.
SAYS PROBLEM HAS BEEN
THOROUGHLY CONSIDERED
Or Maclachlan said that all prob
lens should be studied with especial
reference to their causes, and then, ana
then only. should the remedy be ap-
Piled. "The liquor question has been
threshed out" he said, land IL the
state should 20 dry. II will not be the
result of ill-consIdered action, but
the definite. calm and well-cons!dercd
action OF people who Will no longer
tolerate this soul and Notwithstanding
evil And no one can conscientiously
say that II will hurt trade. 1t will re-
Uuire distinct courage to say that I'm

however that many people honestly
believed that prohibition would in
