VICTORY OF DRYS
MAKES B. SUNDAY
SHOUTING HAPPY
Evangelist CharaCterizeS AC-
ton of Congress as lone
of Most MomentouS Ever
Enacted Take0ffMy Hat"

In his own words, Billy Sunday was
shouting happy" Tuesday, when he was
informed by The Journal that congress
ment providing for national prohibition.
He said:
TT is one of the most momentous
pieces of legislation ever enacted. II
will mean more than anything that has
ever been done, for when the saloon is
driven from our borders America will
see the greatest era of prosperity and
happiness in her history. 1t will help
to solve the great social question.
Gambling and disorderly houses are so
closely allied with the saloon that when
it dies, they will perish with it.
The liquor traffic has been tried and
convicted, and now it is about to be
called for sentence. England, France
and Russia found il expedient at the
outset of the war to abolish liquor, and
We will profit in the same measure that
they have profited.
ct am shouting happy to think that
am going to live long enough to
preach the funeral services of the
liquor business in America. 1 am over
whelmingly glad that 1 can see the end
of this lawless, anarchistic, pimpIe-
making, vice-producing, Sabbath-break-
ing, pocket-emptying, honor-wrecking,
rag bedecking. blood-polluting, riot-mak-
ing, infamous, corrupt, God-forsaken
business.
''I take of my hat to the members
of the senate and house who so nobly
stood by and put it over; and if there
is anything 1 can do to help re-elect
who voted for prohibition, will go the
limit"
