THE REV. CARL E. GRAMMER
On Prohibition Enforcement

UNQUALIFIED and strict enforcement
~ of the prohibition amendment is the only
sane and proper course Of procedure on the
part of the American people, in the opinion
of the Rev. Carl Il. Grammer rector Of st.
Stephens Church.
Doctor Grammer expressed himself as alb
soutely opposed to any temporizing or at
tempting to soften the rigor of the act. He
predicted that there will be violations for
several years, especially in the seacoast
cities and along the Canadian border, but
declared that such cvasions would gradually
die out He made parallel of the case of
smuggling in England, which, at one time,
was supported by Il great deal of public
opinion, despite the illegality, but which
eventually dropped away to nothing;
Il am much concerned. said Doctor
Grammer, that Doctor Conwell has al
lowed himself to be so much pcrturDrd ny
the violations of the liquor law that he is
condemning the principle on which they are
based This country has in the mosr con-
elusive manner, by an amendment of the
federal constitution, decided in favor of pro
hibition-not in favor of high license or light
wines. but positively in favor of actual pro-
hibition. If the decision expressed in such n
decisive and inclusive manner by the vast
majority required for a constitutional
amendment, is not carried out. and because,
in particular localities, special groups are
allied to defeat it. what safeguard have we
that any law will be executed by those swoln
to enforce it?
Gains Already Secured
1T was to be expected that abuses of this
kind would occur. This bootlcsging and
drinking are to be regretted, but we must
not allow these evils to hide from us the
magnificent gains already secured. poor

The mems weekly tournaments al
the Barre Golf club started Saturday
This one is called the midsummer
tournament and will run for 10 weeks
ending July H. There were only 10
players who took part in the first week
Of the competition. This is due large
ly to the large number OF members
who have left town on account OF la

A number of new members have
Joined the club and their handicaps
have been placed on the card. The
committee in charge hopes TO see these
PLAYERS down at the course to take
part in the tournaments. A very IN
teresting competition for beginners at
the game has been planned.

what Boosted Sugar?

Mr. Hoover has no doubt as 20 what
it was that boosted the price of sugar
to its present high level; and he has no
hesitation as TO putting the blaine
where IL belongs, In a telegram TO Sen
ator Cspper, he states that the present
sugar position SIS due simply TO bad
business administration" and, 20 make
his meaning more clear, he says: Last
September the administration could
have bought the Cuban sugar crop at
.615 cents per pound for raw sugar
This would have given l2-cent sugar TO
our consumers, and, together with our
domestic production, would have fur
nished supplies in excess Of our de-
mands. As the result of failure in this
matter, we are participating in the
world shortage Of sugar due 20 de-
creased European production, and we
are subject to unparalleled speculation
and proiiteeriug.
Mr.. Hoover computes the increased
price Of sugar a. equivalent to an in
creased tax on our people Of $50 per an
nun per family. and the total cost on
the 5000. 900 900 pounds OF cur annual
consumption, - mounting up to more
than sl .O00. 100000 in excess Of the cost
for the previous year. That Is a pretty
heavy price which American families
have TO paw for this blunder Of the adj
ministration-a blunder which was the
more inexcusshle, since the sugar equal
ization board twice called the presl-
dents attention to the opportunity for
the purchase Of the Cuban sugar crop
and implored him 70 act. Mr. Hoover
truthfully says that the situation can
