The Nevada County picayune., 1921-11-17

'llS ldN ndS been most liiollIefchtly enforced. there has been
 such a marked reduction in the amonnt
 of liquor Used and in the evil results
 winch are always apparent from it's
 use that even the most bitter on.
 pohehts of the law are compelled to ] admit the facts in the case.
 Nevertheless, there is, undoubtedly, a nation wide conspiracy to make this law void by persistent violation of it's provisions. This conspiracy manifestS its self in many ways mention only q few of the many.
 l. Newspaper propaganda. This does not apply 10 the editorial policy of the great majority of the papers especially in Arkansas where practical ly all the newspapers of the state are favorable to prohibition. but 10 the syhdieated matter which is used in nearly all papers. such as patent sheets the sayings of Luke McLuke Bugs Baer and such like productions. The Arkansas Gazette has wrought nohly in behalf of prohibition through its editorial columns and vet even this Sta0nch friend of prohibition allows this propaganda to slip into it's pages through the channel of its syHdicatod matter.
 ,. The same thing fs true of the Motion pictures. Apparently. the pro motors of th.s liquor propaganda have found it comparatively easy 10 induce the producers of motion picture films to insiHate into=m many of their pro- duetions suggestions and scenes which are designed to create the impression that the prohibition laws are alto gethcr a nuisance and ! farce
 3. By nationwide campaign of violations of the law, both=hy manu- faeimng and selling Whiskey and | other mtoXicants Other phases of this nation wide conspiracy might be mentioned but those are sufficient to remind us that it k time for the | friends of law to be at work. We must remember that the forces of | evil never rest.

 The National Anti-Saloon League of | America. which still stands guard | against these efforts of the forces of | to nullify and destroy our prohibition laws. has sent out this slogan for this Worlds Temperance Sunday, Not Over" We must awake to this fact the fight against the liquor power is Not over
 We must endeayour to create more healthy public sentiment which will make the violation of law serious and shameful thing instead of thing to be laughed at and joked about as is constantly being done hy many people
 Ne must teach mon that the man who buys illicit whiskey is equally guilty. in moral shame and sin, with the man who makes OF who sells it.
 We must demand q more rigid ana faithful enforcement of our laws by both state and federal officials. To this end we must give our moral and material assistance to those officials who try to enforce the law.
 We must encourage and support those organizations which are csp'ci- ally pledged to continue this warfare against every form of the liquor eNl surb as the Womans Christian Tcm- perance UnioH and the Anti Saloon League.
 Finally. we must not lose sight of the fact that the ultimate hope oi victory lies ill the progress of the Kingdom of God among men Law can only restrain men and at best k only partial remedy for sin. But when the principles of righteousness and purity have been instilled into mons hearts and lives; when the ancfent promise has been fulfilled T will write my law on their hearts, then and not until then. will the laws
