House Passes
Drastic Measure

WASHINGTON, July 29.-By a
vote of nearly three to one, the house,
weary of talk on prohibition, yester-
day passed bill or its enforcement,
with provisions and penalties so dras-
tic as to bring from the men who fran
ed il the prediction that it would for
ever suppress the liquor traffic on
American soil.
Exactly one, hundred SO demo-

waved a tiny flag. 1t was not sig
nal for that, but the house broke into
applause, the galleries, only half fill
ed, meanwhile looking on in silence.
A broad smile spread over the faces
of the prohibition leaders, for their
work in the house was ended and the
meausre was ready for the senate,
where many of it's restrictions may be
modified or stricken out. The cloak
room rumor persisted that all of this
legislative effort might end on the
shoal of Presidential veto, although
the general view was that it would be
signed as passed.

The German people do not want so rad
ical an experiment in government or
economics, and would be quite con-
tent with almost any regime which af-
forded them an opportunity to get
away from unemployment, disorder
and discomfort. The German is too
disciplined by long years in the kaiser
school to swing entirely to extremes,
especially if he gets more freedom
and a chance to live without such an
experiment.

While we have found ourselves I'M

we are not i'll any way Gntagonis.ic
to them in their work. We recognize
their inalienable right, as Baptists to
pursue such plans as they prefer.
They must be allowed all the freedom
we ask under the New Testament for
ourselves, but The Southern Baptist
Convention finds itself unable to
co operate with them along the lines
they have adopted. We are unalter-
ably committed to the doctrine Of
"Denominational Control Of all in

ports. Our people are unwilling to
place the Lords money in the hands
OF irresponsible men, who might do
with it what it was not given for.
1t seems to us that this is clear
cut statement Of the issues. 1t is
spoken in Christ like spirit and it
should awaken a hearty response
from one part of the colorcd Baptist
