ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE
SPEAKER HERE SUNDAY
Rev. E. ]. Moore of Columbus Spoke
at the Second Congregational
Church Sunday.

Rev L. ]. Moore, d. D.. of Colum-
bus, Ohio. who is Assistant Superin-
tendent OF the National Anti-Saloon
League, gave a very informing and
strong address Sunday morning at the
Second Congregational church.
The pastor, Rev G. s. Mills, in in
Producing him called attention to the
fact that some people are thinking
the Anti.Saloon League has done its
work and the battle IS over. He knew
Dr.. Moore would prove the contrary.
And this Dr. Moore did very effec'
tualy. He said the battle had really
Just begun. Friends of prohibition
should be warned against those who
are seeking 10 nullify the 18th Amend
ment. A very insidnous propaganda
is on, and is deceiving many intelli-
gent people. For instance, it is ex
plotted that enforcement is an expen-
siye business, costing the last fiscal
year six millions. But it is not told
that this was Offset by fines, etc, to
the amount Of ifty-three millions.
The need of the continued support
of the Anti-Saloon League was made
plain Mn the statement that the gov
ernment depended for the prepara
tion of liquor cases upon the Anti
Saloon League officials Wayne b
Wheeler, attorney for the National
League at Washington, was the emin
emily successful chief prosecutor
Not case had been lost by the gov
ernment under his direction
The nullifcationalists are working
for a wet Congress. The Anti-Saloor
League is the agent of the churche:
and the Christian forces of America
to defeat this scheme The 18th A
mendment can not be repealed o.
course. But the plea is being made
for beer and wine by amendment o.
the Volstead act, 1t is we'll to re
member that as things were before
national prohibition, beer constituted
more than nine tenths of the liquor
traffic. What some professedly tenn
perance people are asking for then
is just corruption and crime that al
ways come from it.

Everybody sees what sharp turn
the Soviet powers and the Communist
party have taken by adopting new
economic policy. which, in substance,
contains more OF the old regime than
of our previous policy. Tie necessity
of considering the peasants was all

capitalism in Soeialistic construction
was considered

the desperate position in which the
republic found itself compelled us to
change directly TO Communistic pro-

possible to reach even the lowest

There can be no doubt that on the
economic front, in the attempt TO
come over to Communism toward the
