Eighteenth Amendment will remain
in the constitution of the United
States.
Beer and Wine Scheme
When they failed in direct attack
and overthrow of the offensive meas
ures, the scheme of beer and light
wines was devised to divert the law
against liquor into war of per cents.
They have discovered the margin of
alcoholic content profitable to them
and Misunderstanding, but cheering to
the ultimate consumer.
The dominant evil, that threatens
civil society is 1awleSsness. Its most
vicious and dangerous present form
is the commercialized traffic in con-
traband liquor. 1t is organized crime
seeking to perpetuate demonstrated
evil outlawed by both public opinion
and the laws of the American people.
Not Self Enforcing
Laws of this character are not self
executing Officers charged with the
duty of enforcing them must be
loyal, sincere and walk fearlessly on
high level of official conscience. A
generation of men has lived under
the influence of the saloon. Long use
of habit forming Intoxicating bever-
ages has left certain percentage OF
this generation with the appetite.
With their passing in the course OF
nature, the market will narrow and
the demand lessen provoking viola
tons.
The government owes to succeed
ing generations protection against
this mighty agency of degeneracy.

FUTILE PROPAGANDA

The more propaganda that
the liquor interests spread over
the country, the worse it will
be for them. The day of the
saloon and bar-room in this
country is past, and all that
they can say and do, will not
change the minds of the people.
If the officers OF the law of this.
country would do their full duty,
liquor in ANY form, except that
which is permitted by the gov
eminent would soon be a thing
of the past and the foreign ele-
ment, who are the principal vio-
lators would be looking through
the bars of the penitentiary
where they rightly belong.-The
Gillespie News.

World Work Important

DIR. Howard II. Russell told OF his
two trips as an explorer and pioneer
for Prohibition in England, and Scot
land. He emphasized the importance
of Prohibition making good in Amer
lea first as an example to other coun-
tries. A friend of DR.. Russell's was
told by Lloyd George that if Prohibi-
ton proved a success in America,
England will be certain to adopt the
same policy III we make good here
and stand FIRM declared the father
OF Prohibition in America, the flags
OF all nations will be stainless flags"
The sentiment OF the Convention was
expressed by Bishop Ainsworth of
Texas when he declared at the con-
clusion of the program that I'VE have
put our hanas to the pillow and we
shall not turn back until we turn to
survey the finished task"
Workers Conference Precedes Con-
vention
Preceding the Convention a work
ers' Conference consisting of Anti
Saloon League Superintendents and
field workers was held in Washing
ton.
A report OF this interesting con-
fereroe in which many important Pro-
hibition problems were considered will
be given in later number OF the Issue.

amount OF agitation that was carried
on in past years" DIR. Gordon, Wis
itor from Australia, read clipping
from a home paper which stated that
beer was being sold as freely as milk
in the city OF Washington. An appeal
was made by many speakers for in
dividuals to personally help counteract
the poisonous wet propaganda being
carried on chiefly by the big city news
papers.

drunkenness and organized lawless-
ness.
Its evils begot regulation. Regula-
ton implied minimizing the evil and
essenng the market. Its organiza-
ton, in effect, opposed all regulation.
They entered politics. They threat
ened and bullied all political parties.
They kept faith with none. When
they could not defeat legislation, they
nullihed it by preventing its enforce
ment wherever possible. They elected
or defeated public officers en- the tacit
pledge to be color blind on laws they
could not prevent in their passage.
VETS Never Satisfied
When the country was wet they
denounced local option. When it was
dry, they demanded local option as
sacred right of home rule. When
county option enlarged the unit OF dry
territory, they became earnest apostles
of state sovereignty. When the
state went dry, they became vocifer-
Gus on vested rights under the federal
constitution. When the constitution
was amended interdicting Intoxicating
beverage liquor throughout the Unit
ed States they declared it unconsti-
tutional. When it was sustained, they
avowed it impossible to be enforced
and have promoted grand larceny,
burglary, robbery and murder to
verify their predictions.
Never Obeyed Laws
They have broken every state
statute and nullhed every act of
Congress, so far as it is in their
power. They arc now organized to
abrogate the Eighteenth Amendment
and restore the dram shop to the
country as national blessing. These
are the people who ask relief against
surnptuary laws and ask us to accept
their definition Of civil liberty and
wise laws to secure it. They will &C
complish none OF their purposes. All
statutes will be enforced and the

EX-SENATOR SHERMAN
MAKES GREAT APPEAL
FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT
Calls Eighteent h Amendment Most
Memorable Achievement

One OF the strongest appeals for
Prohibition enforcement during the
recent Anti-Saloon League Conven-
toin was made by ex-senator Law
renee Y. Sherman of Illinois. With
reference to the problem of liquor be-
ing struggled into the United States
from other countries Senator Sher-
man suggested treaties with other ma
tions TO prevent their citizens from
helping to break the laws OF the
United States. Such treaties he said
would operate in a similar manner to
the Webb Kenyon law which pro-
tected dry territory before the adop
ton OF National Prohibition. He also
declared that there are many treaties
already in effect OF similar nature
so that it would not be setting
precedent to make an agreement with
other nations whereby they would
prevent their citizens from helping
smuggle liquor into this country.
Referring to the adoption of the
Eighteenth Amendment and the fight
for its enforcement Senator Sherman
said:
Most Memorable Achievement
Narcotics are the great degenera-
tive agencies OF modern society. The
supreme task is to remove this
menace. The Eighteenth Amend
ment is the most memorable achieve
ment of civilized man in this under
taking.
Government usually contents itself
with Furnishing individuals or groups
who commit crime. 1t has seldom
sought to penetrate or prevent the
underlying causes moving the indi-
vidual to wrongful acts
The circle of fixed private habit,
the train of hcredity and the soil of
environment have been untouched.
With casual exceptions they have
been free to operate beyond the
reach OF law and relcgated to the
domain of private morals, or the per-
sonal liberty OF the individual
Liquor Always Lawless
Every attempt to regulate, to re-
strain, or to prohibit was denounced
as fanatcal revival of long obsolete
blue laws and an unwarranted inter
ference with the private tastes and
habits OF mankind.
Certain forms of vice may remain
personal to its victims. 1t attracts
and degrades only those who seek it
out for indulgence Drunkenness and
the means to attain it, soon passed
from this type to the aggressive IN
yasion of sobriety and deoency.
1t sought out aid thrust itself upon
both the drinker and the non-drinker,
The manufacture OF intoxicants and
its distribution and retail sale re-
CURED large invested capital. The
business employed numbers of peo
pie. The system led to organization.
That organization, with few excep-
tions, lived on the most complete
form of commercialized public vice
the new world ever saw,
Created New Appetites
In the inherent nature of the evil
it was not satisfied to prey on self
made appetite. l. busted itself Great
ing new appetites and establishing
additional facilities for getting drunk.
1t promoted, developed and poured its
burning flood upon everybody, drunk
or sober. Like all other manufac-
lures permitted by law, it sought to
extend its market( and to produce
new generations of customers, Its
finished product was progressive
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1921-12-16
Every act of enforcement is a step
toward a cleaner, better country and
safer home for the children of men.
Evil Dies Hard

1t is an ancient evil, toughened by
time and dies hard. It reaches from
the tabled bowl of Hercules to the
murderous bandit defying the Eight
zenith Amendment History reveals
its excuses from Noah's abasement
before his sons to Alexanders drunk
Ell death in distant Asia, from Bel
shazzar's revelry and sacrilege with
Jerusalem's holy vessels to the stag
gering sot OF yesterday, this giant
evil has swept and blasted the sons
of men in its fiery breath until it has
become the interdicted, defiant out
law of hundred million people.
Desolated nations seek to Danish war
from the world. The hand of inven-
ton draws its swift carriers by land
and sea to relax the grip of famine's
wasting grasp. Electricity's mysteri-
Gus fash knits the earth in a common
knowledge of its daily affairs. The
torch of advancing science carried by
forgotten heroes of medicine and
surgery has stayed the breath of
pestilence. The fourth great scourge
challenges the sovereignty of the
American constitution and proclaims
itself superior to organic law and en-
acted statutes.
That challenge will be met and the
laws of our country will assert and
vindicate our capacity for self-gov-
eminent.

lists and Sim Fein because they have
made their protest against the parti-
tion of Ireland
unionists expected to win thirty-four
of the ffty-two seats. They will prob
ably get nearer forty seats.
Daniel Mccain, chief lieutenant in
Belfast of Joseph Dovlin, Nationalist
leader, had hoped for fourteen seats
but did not really believe more than
twelve Nationalists and Sim F'einers
could be returned and he proved a
good prophet
Counting of tho ballots will not be
completed probably until tho end of
tho week but present returns show that
the Unionists made their greatest gains
in Belfast, where it is expected they
VIII have fifteen or sixteen seats.
Joseph Devlin is tho only Nationalist
or Sim Feiner who will have a seat
for Belfast and even he was beaten in
his own stronghold for first place on
the poll of his Unionist opponent T. II.
Burn. His colleague, Alderman Byrne,
had only 81 votes, or ten thousand
fewer than his leader. This was due
to the nationalists giving all their first
votes to Devlin.
Sim Feiners did better than Bryce
but on the first ballot they wero well
behind tho Unionists.
The Socialists here. as in other con-
stituencies. lost their deposit which
they have to forfeit IL they do not re-
ceiyc a certain number OF votes

other going to Devlin.

problems affecting the financial world
and in the near future others are to
be called to consult on ways and
means to stabilize conditions and hast
en- the return to normalcy."
The foundation for discussion on
these subjects was laid at White
House dinner last night the signih-
cancc and detail OF which first be-
came known today.
With secretaries Mellon and Hoover
the president had as his guests. ]. p:
Morgan, Paul Warburg, and a half
dozen other tinanciers.
Whether to encourage further loans
of private American capital to for
eign governments was one question
most seriously considered with most oil
the financiers arguing that such ex-
tensions of credit presented the most
practicable means to place foreign
finances on sound basis and thus to
improve American exports.
Several visiting bankers. it was said
expressed concern over the possibility
of funds raised in this country by for
eign bonds issues being used to buy
the products of other foreign countries.
Tho belief was advanced Ut such
use of American money would result
unfavorably to domestic industry,
especially farming.
On the other hand it was pointed out
in some administration quarters today
that purchase of Argentine wheat by
foreign buyers with money borrowed
here for example would assist that
country's business and the money
would eventually find its way back
into the United States in trade.
Administration officials however. dis
counted reports that American money
was to be used to any extent in for
eiCn markets by foreign borrowers.
Most of the funds to be raised here,
it was asserted. would be used to re-
tire or fund existing government in
debtcdncss here.
For luncheon today Mr Harding had
as his guest Charles NJ. Schwab, who
advised regarding. the shipping prob
lem.
Most of those present arc understood
to have argued cmphatcally that tho
surest way to promote export trade
would be by helping actively in tho
rehabilitation Of European finances
II is said to have been suggested that
American products could he sold in
American capital wcre invested abroad
to enable tho purchasers to pay.
Mr.. Harding had an engagement to-
day with Charles - Schwah, steel
maEnatc. and although no announce
ment was made. the assumption WAS
that he was consulted on the same
generality.
Mr.. Schwab Is Understood to have
discussed with tho president tho prob
lem of rchabilitatinE the American
merchant marine. holding that radical
steps must he taken quickly IL the
large tonnage constructed during tho
war is to be kept under tho American
flag.
