INSPIRING ADDRESSES
nEIIVERED

Two most inspiring addresses were
delivered at the evening session We'd
ncsday, the first by Rev w. L. Wade
Of Cheyenne. superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon league in the state and
the second by DR.. Harry Farmer OF
the board of foreign missions.
ut Is not often that preachers make
a mistake in conducting funeral scry-
ices" Rev. Mr.. Wade declared. "but
those who conducted elaborate funcr-
Al rites, tolled the bells. and preached
funcrai sermons for the demise Of
John Barleycorn certainly made a big
mistake. John B~arieycorn is not dead,
or II he is we nave zen mistaken in
our religious practices and a lot OF
people in wyoming are in communica-
lion with dead spirits.
..rhere is a big difference between
a dead man and an outlaw and the
liquor traffic is not dead. simply out
lawed."
Mr.. Wade pointed out that every
person who joked about the u
traffic, who aided and .abbetted in the
bookkeeping business or who merely
kept silent concerning law violations
was doing as much to throw the basic
law of the country into the discard as
though he connived at the violation OF
the laws against murder or robbery.
He warned that the liquor traffic
was never so well organized as 1t Is
today. That 1t seeks to dfscredit the
eighteenth amendment by making II
a topic for jokes. n that II is well
on the way toward securing a redefin-
ing of the term Intoxicating LIQUOR
which will net bar beers and wines.
f.-t 49, - oraAr (an-
ersl PaImer's decision regarding the
prescribing OF beer and wine by doc
tors as medicine has so far stood be
cause OF the stand taken by the ma
iority in the United States senate
proves how strong is the menace he
declared.
He paid high tribute to Congress
man Frank W. Mondell OF Wyoming
because of his stand on h measure
declaring beer and wines to be Tor
medicinal which passed the house.
I'VE need more men like Mondell,'
he said, quoting the Wyoming con
gresham as having said that some
congressman apparently cared more
FOR the b~ooticggcr and the rum run
rer than they did for Their oath OF
office. a sentiment which was heart
Ivy app,audcd.
His own work as superintendent OF
the Anti-saioon league Mr.. Wade
stated, is anything but pleasant or
easy In these days wher it must deal
not WITH h arousins of enthusiasm
but with the prosecution OF law VIC
lstors.
The duty Of the church. he said, is
10 sec that officials who viii enforce
the laws are elected in city. county
and state and that individual church
members do all in their power to
create sentiment fer law enforcement
Judge c. o. Brown, who was pres
uut was asked to speak on h subject
which nc did by briefly endorsing all
that Mr.. Wade had said concerning
thotneed OF clecting officers who viii
enforce the laws.
