Message Throws Out "Sop to
Cerberus," Declares DR..
Samuel Upiohn
OTHERS PROTEST REPEAL

President Wilson's recommendation
that the war prohibition law be re-
pealed was commended today by the
Rev. DIR. Samuel Upjohn, rector Of st.
Lukes Episcopal Church, German
town.
'The President, who in his message
recommends somewhat lifting the pro
hibitory bar of war measure" com
mented Doctor Upjohn, "is throwing a
sop to Ccrberus.
Politically this is wise, also in rea
son and fairness it is just. Probably
the President would do more if he
could, but the political leaders on both
sides are afraid to speak for the equity
and judgment of the thing.
"Lincoln cmancipatcd the slaves. and
now those who desire to be wise about
that which is written propose to en-
slave the emancipated. and this in the
140th year of our independence.
Doctor Upjohn recently prepared a
resolution concerned with the prohibi
tion amendment for presentation at the
Episcopal diocesan convention.
The resolution urged the convention
to recall its action last year in com
mending national prohibition. The res
oution was not offered, however, by
Doctor Upiohn. Later he sent it in
the form of n letter to Bishop Rhine
lander.
Protest against repeal Of the wartime
prohibition measure, effective July !
suggested in the message of President
Wilson to the extra session OF Con E
