The charge that the government I.
vyinlip0 nj thn rra ct loo oe l;nrz, .k.,,
ments about the country was made nj
today's meeting.
DR.. II. W. Swayze. of Allentown. wh1
heads the Good Citizenship and Socia
Purity Branch of the Christian En-
deavor. sponsored the charge.
THE government is winking at tn,
practice of booze being shipped here ant
there about the country" said Docto,
Swayze. "By means Of these shipment,
the banks are getting back the none,
they loaned on warehouse receipts. II
this way the government is letting then
down easy.
For Political Purposes
"All this is for political purposes. ,
Doctor Swayze explained. "The gov
eminent expects to clamp the lid dowi
| after election"
Not all Of his charges were of hi
own knowledge, Doctor Swayze said
but were based in part on information
he had received from a delegate. Thi
delegate told Doctor Swayze that in tn,
delegates town a deputy had been dere
lict in his duty regarding liquor viola
tions and that whisky had been allowed
to be sold. . ...
The tip came from Washington. tn
delegate said. that offenders should b.
let down easy until after the presi
Dental election next November. whel
things would be frightened up. .,,..
Sunday observance also came in, To-
discussion by Doctor Swayze. He sal,
1t was undeniable that man who i
confined to work in an Office for 81,
days week must have some outdoo
recreation on Sunday. If this ,recrea
tion is to take religious form ant
not baseball palying. or some othe
similar sport. let some one suggest
and the ministers will be only too glat
to give 1t trial. |.
Asks Other Suggestions
"If you are opposed to Sunday base
ball you must supply something else.
Doctor Swayze cautioned. He bad
the delegates to offer suggestions.
Several did, but they evidently me-
with no great degree Of satisfaction
from the majority assembled.
The need of. a course in public speak
ing for every young man and woman II
the country was urged by the Rev. Iri
Landrith, of Boston.
"What America needs badly is more
extemporaneous speakers" he said
"This is one Of the greatest service,
that Christian Endeavor has rendered
the country.
Every young man and woman
should have course in public speaking
Many n good cause is lost because thos'
espousing it lack the ability to pu
across by speech the thoughts whicl
they have. AS It so happens. in mos
cases their opponents have this ability.
He referred to some college men ant
other agnostics as CHEAP, half-baket
upstarts. -.
