SIMS REFLECTIONS ARE WRONG
Law Observers
Must Back Up
the Law Makers

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-Bishop Samuel
F'ailows said prohibition was al
most a miracle" when he referred
to the passing of John Barleycora
in his sermon at st. Paui's Episco-
pal church today.
we have had two wonderful
events. almost miracles, in Amcri-
can history, he said. THE first was
the seleetiye draft of mare than
eight millions of men with scarcely
a ripple on the national surface.
The other was the going dry of
America without pol u ar dis
turbance.
Dire predictions were made in
both cases Of what would happen If
they were carried out. Nothing
-uutowarti, however. did happen,
Bishop Fallows referred to the
fight OF fifty years ago for sa-
ioonless nation"
Our cry WAS for saloonless
nation in the coming years Our
real faith did not agree without ut
terances. We could not believe 1t
would occur In our day. Now we
fully believe prohibition has come
to stay.
Neither revolution nor evolution
goes backward but laws do not en-
force themselves. The iaw-observ-
ers must back up the lawmakers.
John Barleyeorn must he buried so
deep that resurrection trumpet
blast cannot reach him. Everiast
