To RESTRICT SALES
Of LIQUOR BY MAIL
Methodist Temperance Board Wants
Law Regulating Advertising
and Soliciting.

Washington, Dec. lo.--In the name
OF 100000 Methodists, each individ-
ual member of Congress was yester-
day afternoon requested to enact leg
islation barring from the United States
mail liquor advertising and solicita-
ton. except when addressed to licensed
liquor dealers. This request was made
by the board of temperance of the
Methodist Church at its meeting IN
the Continental Hotel
In the communication sent to mem
bers Of Congress the following rea-
sons were given:
The liquor mail order business is
vastly increasing, due to the grown &
use of the mails as a medium of ad-
Vertising and solicitation.
This trade is carried on in hostility
TO the laws of prohibition States and
OF dry communities. and in competi-
ton with local licensed dealers in wet
territory.
The mail order traffic Is under
practically no control, such as exists
for the regulation Of the saloons. The
arguments ordinarily presented in OPP
position 10 prohibition of the liquor
traffic do not apply TO this trade. 1t
is free lance in the field. knowing
no hours and no restrictions of sale
1T is definitely known that this traf-
fiC results in vast amount OF crime
of the most atrocious character.
The States OF Washington. Okla
homa, Oregon, West Virginia, North
Dakota, Colorado, Maine, Alabama.
Georgia. South Dakota. Virginia and
Mississippi have attempted to exclude
liquor advertising and solicitation from
their borders and are baked by the
use of the United States mails
"A great deal of this advertising Is
especially designed to cause drinking
among women and children.
individuals and communities hos
tile to the traffic In alcoholic beverages
are very much annoyed by mail order
solicitation.
THE United States mails already
exclude liquors, lottery tickets and ad-
refreshments and other matter which
is against public policy.
Concerning this matter there 10
practically no difference OF opinion in
the twenty-three States which are un-
der prohibition or have enacted pro-
hibition laws. and there Is no consid-
cradle opposition of a general nature
in any other States of the Union. This
is indicated by the fact that about
one-half OF the daily papers and much
more than one-half of the other pub
locations of the, country have adopted
a business policy which does not ad-

OF seeking Federal incorporation so

THERE Is A GOD OF The UNIVERSE

the following must come to pass.
please read:
In that day there shall be a
fountain opened to the house OF
David and to the inhabitants
of Jerusalem for sin and for
uncleanness. (Zech. ID IL
For Christ spoke through
Paul and said:
And so all Israel shall BE- saved
as it is written There shall
come out of Sion the Deliverer
and shah turn away ungodliness
from Jacob
For this is my Covenant unto
them when l shall take away
their sins from. 11-26 -27
What further evidence, is
there needed? When God, our
God has left no room for doubt.

that is this; Please read:

we must know that there is no
