How The Fight Was Won
The Second Division of the Anti-Saoon League Army
the Volunteers
CHAPTER }

The first division OF the League,
the regulars, would have been quite
powcrless without the cooperation of
the second division, which might be
called the volunteers The regulars
arc Anti-Saloon League fighters who
spend their entire time in anti-liquor
warfare.
The volunteers are men and women
who, without thought OF pay or hon
or or glory, donated their services
usually in their home communities
towards advancing the Prohibition
cause. They volunteered to do the
many tasks that must be done in each
local community in connection with
antialcohol campaigns.
The volunteers distributed litcra-
ture. arranged for meetings, checked
up poll lists, made personal appeals
for votes, co-operated with the "regu-
lars" in holding League meetings and
in numberless other ways did the
work without which dry victories
could not possibly have been won.

out exception an active volunteer i'll

full extent OF their abilities and OPP
portunitieS. Most OF the Prohibition
party, too, with their unquenchable
hatred OF the liquor traffic and their
nntiring zeal for Prohibition, were ex-
celled by none in their generous vol
unteer efforts in their own oommuni-
ties. While the Prohibition party as
a party failed in its objective, it is
doubtful whether the victory which
came by the Anti-Salocn League
method was made easier by the sup
port and cooperation or the individ-
ual members OF the Prohibition
party
The ranks of the volunteers were
by no means filled only from the
classes mentioned above Enrolled as
workers for Prohibition in past cam
paigns were men and women, young
and old from all classes, all profess
sions, all walks of life. Their one
thing i'll common was a willingness to
sacrifice time and effort in order to
fight as volunteers against the alcohol
traffic. The volunteers in the great
anti-saloon army quietly, modestly,
without selfish thought of honor or
reward did the work local necessary
to win the nationwide victory over
Kaiser Alcohol.

ton that has been the safeguard of
the rights OF all. Willingness to abide
by the law, enacted in the constitu-
tonal way, is the very sheet anchor
of our safety. This Prohibition
amendment has been duly enacted,
expressing the convictions of the ma
jority of our legislators, and, l be-
lieve, of our citizens. The plain duty
of loyal Americans is to support a
law that has become a part of our
fundamental constitution. Whoever
derides, violates or evades that con-
stitution takes on himself solemn
and dangerous responsibility The
assertion OF the right of personal lib
erty against the constitution consti-
tutes an appeal to anarchism, which,
if successful, would carry down in its
flood every safeguard of life and prop
erty
Rev. DIR. S. Edward Young
The quickest way to get rid of the
law if it really is not desired by the
people is to put it into effect imme-
diately and to the last dot. The fact
that you may not like a law is not
sufficient reason for encouraging its
non-enforcement. There is scarcely
law we have on the statute book
which is not disliked by large num-
bers of the people. This is the price
we pay for free government and rule
of the majority
Rev. Newell Woolsey Wells
AS patriotic citizens, as Christian
citizens, we are summoned to stand
by our amended constitution. Should
the amendment come to be regarded
as evil nothing will hasten its repeal
more surely than it's enforcement.
Should it prove good, its enforcement
will be in the nations interest.

DR.. Nehemiah Boynton

reported in the Brooklyn Eagle:
Dir. Nehemiah Boynton
One point stands out clear and
sharp, that what has become law of
the land has right 10 the loyalty of
every citizen apart from his personal
convenience, inclination or habit.
Something larger than personal inter
est is at stake. Lawlessncss is always
the majordomo of anarchy
Rev. DR.. John M. Moore
OF course this amendment may be
repealed in the way the constitution
has ordained by two-thirds vote of
both houses OF Congress and the rati-
6cation of that vote by SO state legis-
latures. Until that course has been
taken good citizens will insist that
the constitution OF the United States
shall be sacredly regarded as the guar
antee OF the freedom OF the people
and the expression OF their sovereign
will.
Kew. John 1enry Dell
No law can long stand books in
disregard of public sentiment or the
public interest. But the unpatriotic
thing, the iniquitous thing the thing
which should be denounced from
Maine to California, is the attitude OF
defiance and resistance on the part OF
some people toward the Prohibition
amendment to the constitution, the
enactment OF which has taken place
according to due process Of law. And
we may ask further, has the rum traf-
hc deserved so we'll OF otherwise pa
triotic citizens that now they are
ready to turn traitors and outlaws in
its defense?
