REV. DR.. BURGAN
URGES DEMAND FOR
EXECUTION or LAWS

The sanctIfy III Law and the duty Ot
voters tO demand their full and honest
execution, were the keynotes of the
sermon preached last night nj The
First Methodist Episcopal Church BY
DR.. II. wilson Burgan. the pastor The
subject was: The Coming City Elec
tion A Zeal Issue 4
Dr. Burgan said that Annapolis WIS
notable for its care ii executing and
obeying laws. He instances the dis
regard OF the trafFie ordinances. q
small thing in itself. ne said. but an
Indication of the general spirit Of fail.
IRE Id respect laws He also mention
eastl1e violations Of the cnrfeW ordis
nance and the open gambling on the
streets.
The fact that prohibition Is TO be.
come tho law of The land, gave DIR.
Burgan the opportunity of speaking
of the duty of the authorities TO en-
force tt He said that Annapolis was
a thousand times better OF under the
dry order. but that the authorities had
done little IN the way Of enforcing II.
So that the full benefit was lost.
4 Tho preacher took occasion ID deny
that the Prohibition amendment had
been forced through by few white
rfbboned women. long-haired preach.
ers and professional agitafors, On the.
contrary. he said that rs per cent Of
Tho territory and 60 per cent of the
population was under dry law before
the amendment was submitted. He.
also showed that the amendment had
not been Slipped over on the ser
vice men. the movement having start
ed almost as soon as the country gain
8ed Its freedom
DR. Burgan did not suggest In any
measure how anyone should vote in
the coming municipal election. but
urgei most strongly that the voters
should demand Of their candidates and
representatives that they should serve
the people that they should see that
all laws are honestly executed.
