Law enforcement Necessary
for Settlement Of the
Worlds Unrest.

MANNINGToN. Nov. 1s.-"No
man can buy or sell or make OF
have whlskey in his possession for
use as an intoxicating beverage
without going into collusioS With
the lowest-down niggers and tho
sorr:est white men on the face Of
the globe. and they're npt fit TO
bait traps for turkey AIards,"
declared DR.. George W Young
in an address upon the suhjeI. nf
law and order made at the Pres
byterlan Church last night.
He went on to say thlS he did
not believe there are many people
belonging to any chIt.h organiz1-
tlon who make, drink, transport, OF
keep whiskey for such a purpose,
then asked, "Why?" he continued
Because II Is against the constI.
tuition OF the United States. and
good people do not so contrary u
the constitution.
whether you agree with thu
law or not" he said when the
voice Of the people has expressed
itself 1t is our duty to uphold that
decis. on. That's what | mean by Ii
loyal American citizen.
Doctor Young declared that the
Eighteenth Amendment to the
Constitution OF tho United States
Is at present the storm center Ut
all the liquor interests. but ex.
pressed confidence in its winning
out unless the churches lie down
on the Job"
when this amendment was
suhm tied for the ratification OF
the various states" he said, "S5
per cent Of the saloons in the
country were found in SIX OF the
larger cities, and most Of these
were supported by people OF alien
birth, alien. customs and alien
ideals. They couldn't even gel
drunk and cuss In EnglIsh!"
lie expressed the belief that the
majority OF people In every state
favored continuance Of prohibit.
ton and law enforcement, unless
1t Isl New Jersey, and hu said
the Lord himself couldn't do
anything With New Jersey. '
THE ratification OF the Elgh-
teenth Amendment should have
ended the matter. and gould have
ended It the liquor interests had
been loyal American citizens" he
declared. when tho major ty
speaks, let the minority be silent"
no cried.
Doctor Young suggested that
there has been a unified movement
of all ,lawless elements. headed by
the liquor interests to brln gabou.
a carnival Of crime Sat spread all
over the country, rendAiNlg i'm
possible the proper hncttUnipE o;
the democratic institutions in tho
greatest republic in the world.
Tho only reason for to exist.
ence OF any form OF government
Is for the protection Of life, prop
erty and reputation" he declared.

II has no right to your money an
my money for It's support: When
It fails to do this Il docs NOT fuuc.
ton. !"
Doctor Young insisted that the
world Is in graver danger today
than Il was in 1914. and 10 prove
this pointed out the unsettled coy
ditions existing in all OF Europe,
and the unrest and dissatisfaction
in our own country. Especial en-
phasis was gixen to the political
situation in England, and the at
tempts OF tho Turks to do aws~
with the neutral zone on the
Dardanelles at present preserved
by the British.
THE only thing to do" he de.
clared, lis for the good citizens
OF this country to restore law and
order. II thoy do not, so surely as
the stars hang In the heavens to.
night contlagration will sweep
the country that will bring with 1t
a return to the Dark Ages"
The strongest point OF Doctor
Young's address was brought but
in the closing sentences when 20
told Of the recent international
meeting OF liquor interests at YER
sallles. France. where an Nterna-
tional organization was made ioS
the express purpose Of breaking
down prohibition. The United
States, be said, Is tho objective
at present.
In this connection Doctor Young
urged that there must BE- a con-
certed effort upon the parS OF the
American public 10 overcome the
agencies working against law en-
forcement. especially of the pro.
hibition amendment.
Don't you think" he asked,
that 1t Is about time We Ameri-
cans say to the foreign countries,
stop using foodstutts such as po-
tatoes, rye and barley, for the
manufacture OF intoxicating bever-
ages while you ask US to feed your
starving people, and you can't
even pay the interest on your
debts to us?"
Doctor Young's address was
strongly against Intoxicating
drink. but the main thought OF his
talk was tho enforcement and OBJ
servance OF law, order, Snd good
citizenship.
