consciousness of all citizens There
has been entirely too much loose talk
with reference to the enforcement OF
the Nolstead Code 1t seems difficult
for some people to get away from
the old idea that has forever pos
sessed the booze makers and booze
sellers, namely, that liquor laws are
different from other laws and that to
break them is no crime.
When public sentiment demands
the punishment of the liquor law vio-
lator with the same insistence that
it demands the punishment of the
violator of other laws, the bootlegger
problems in this country will have
been solved, and that day is coming
for it more and more apparent that
contempt for one law breeds con-
tempt for all law and the overwhelm-
ing majority of the people OF this ma
ton are for law and order and will

NIPPON WOMEN LAUNCH
CAMPAIGN FOR BALLOT

Propose Shorter Hours for Sale

to Be Forbidden

QUESTION OF the ballot for Japanese
women in order to affect the more
fundamental aims of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union in Japan
was decided upon at the national con-
ference of the w. c. T. u. in session
at Tokyo. They consider that wom-
ans suffrage in America has been a
considerable contributing factor in
securing Prohibition legislation in the
United States.
The most prominent figure in the
movement is Mrs. Fumiko Nishikawa,
president of an organization known
as THE New and True Woman's AS
ISOLATION" Its object is to promote
the welfare of women in general, but
its special activities at present are in
the direction of Prohibition.
NlIiSa 4NlSlllhdWd G&pldllltQ Il1dl II
was proposed to introduce a bill in
the next Diet providing that: % Sake
and all Intoxicating liquors shall not
be sold except between the hours of
400 and 900 p. M. ~ lntoxicants
shall not be sold to minors; 60
Guardians shall be responsible for the
Prohibition of intoxicants among min
ors; (4) The. use of salicylic acid in
sake shall be prohibited (Salicylic
acid is an antseptic akin to carboic
acid and when mixed with sake is said
to be very harmful.)
Sake is the national alcoholic drink
of Japan and is distilled from rice.
Mrs. Nishikawa said she realized that
Prohibition would deprive the gov
eminent of an important revenue but
she contended that Prohibition or
near Prohibition would reduce the
number of hospitals and prisons and
consequently reduce large public
expense.

Jury Charged With Enforcing Law Found
Personal Opinion Must Not Count; Courts Instructions
Called Out by Dry Law Cases Then Pending

At the opening of the United States
court in Cumberland, Md, Judge
John c. Rose told the jury it was
their bounden duty as citizens to en-
force the law as they found it on the
statute books regardless Of their per-
sonal opinion or belief. This state
ment followed his calling attention
to the fact that there were number
of violations OF the Volstead Act to
be investigated by the jurors at this
term.
He said that among the jurors
there were no doubt some who prob
ably differed and were not in sympa-
thy with such legislation as the Vol
stead Act, but regardless OF such
views that act is the law of the land
and it must be enforced under their
oaths as jurors.

NATIONAL FREE CHURCH
COUNCIL OF ENGLAND
Issue in Error in Referring to
Organization as Council of
Scottish Churches
TOOK NOTABLE ACTION
Urges Total Abstinence Rule for
Members of English Free
Churches

The heading OF an article which ap-
peared in the Issue OF April reIa-
tive to action taken by the National
Free Church Council of England, re-
ferred to this National Council as q
Scotch body. This is not the case.
The National Council OF the Evan
gelcal Free Churches is made up of
the Evangelical Free Churches of
England. Scotland is not included.
and Wales has a National Council of
its own
The Council is federation of all
the free church denominations ex-
cept the Unitarians, and includes
Congrcgationalists. Baptists. PRINT
tive Nethodists, Wesleyan Mctho-
dists, United Methodists. Presbyter-
ians and the Society of Friends.
The Councils number over 1000
and are linked up in county fedora
tions, and these again with the ma
tional federation. The facts set forth
in the article in the Issue of April 2
are correct and carry all the signih-
canoe credited to that action in the
article The facts are these.
This federation OF Evangelical Free
Churches OF England at its twenty
sixth annual assembly in Manchester
ON March 10 adopted strong resolu-
tons protesting against the with
drawal OF wartime restrictions upon
the sale of Intoxicating liquors and
expressed the hope that in its forth
coming measure for dealing compre-
hensively with the evils OF strong
drink, the government will ineorpor-
ate the nine points OF the legislative
program OF the Christian churches.
The Council reafhrmed its conviction
that the comforting upon the people
OF the power Of local option is essen
tial to any progress toward national
sobriety. The new point in the rcso-
lutions is the appeal to all members
of free churches to become abstain
ers as example 10 their fellow citi-
zens. This is a great step forward
for the National Free Church Council
although several UNCONVENTIONAL con-
fercnces have made the same request.
The resolutions were drafted by the
chairman of the temperance commit
tee, Rev. J.Tolcfree Parr.

AFTER BIG WAR SLUMP
ENGLISH |. o. G. T. GAINS

AT the recent annual session of the
Good Templar Grand Lodge of Eng
land an increased membership was
again reported.
AT the beginning of the war in 1914
the English membership exceeded
100000 (about $4,000 in lodges and
$4,000 in temples) but the war car.
ried off so many adults and the mill.
tary occupancy of SO many juvenile
meeting rooms dispersed so many
junior branches that the total was re.
duced to 1880 in the year 1917.
A gain was made in 1918 when the
total was reported to be 95,000-
nearly all meeting weekly. There
are some scores of thousands in Scot.
land, Ireland and Wales also.
