The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1925-11-01

Scotchman, an Esthonian, Bulgarian,
two Swedes and on American (the
speaker Of the hour). This committee
went to a beautiful castle beautifully To-
Gated on the shores of the Baltic Sea and
discussed for one week the general sub
ject of drink. All OF the six members of
the committee were earnest Christian men
but five of them did not hesitate to use
various kinds of Intoxicating liquor only
one, the American, being the abstainer.
A Significant Report
Zone might we'll wonder what hope
there was to secure united report OF any
value on the subject of drink and yet that
committee did bring forth report which
in view of the facts stated above is re-
markable document. The report explic-
lily and repeatedly emphasizes the awful
results that have come from the traffic.
the evils so great and manifold and far
reaching in modern times, such as the
degradation Of social intercourse, the des-
ecration, even the destruction of family
life with its consequent evil effects upon
the welfare of the whole community
through the spread of poverty, misery,
disease, vice and crime The exceed
ingly prevalent and destructive evils of
drink, the evil effects upon society in gen.
era1 which experience is demonstrated in
variably, accompany the traffic in drink
And the report declares in the most posi-
tive fashion the exceeding gravity of
the problems which press for solution in
the question of drink
"But the most significant portion of the
report is the emphatic declaration that the
issues involved are not simply personal
but social and that all the activities of the
individual must be considered in relation
to the social order of which he is a part.
Therefore the report declares increased
emphasis must be placed upon the rights
of society.
The Church Must Not be a Stumbling
Block
when the report was presented one
of the most interesting discussions of the
conference followed. 1t fell to the lot of
the speaker to present the American posi-
ton which he did with the following
statements as the core of his discussion.
AS long as the church or as church mem
bers demand as a right the indulgence of
appetite for drink the awful traffic will
continue. Will the church cease to be a
stumbling block to the weak, mount the
heights of sacrihcia1 love and lead the en-
tire social order in an aggressive, intelli-
gent warfare to protect humanity from
the inevitably horrible results of slavery
to drink?
"The Stockholm conference recognized
the outstanding fact that all the nations
of the world are obliged to face the ter
rible effects of the traffic in drink. There
are two ways to handle it, either to at
tempt to regulate it or to prohibit the
traffic entirely. The experience of CEN
turtles seems to indicate that the only way
to abolish the evils of the traffic is by
abolishing the traffic itself and the mes
sage of the Stockholm conference adopts
the basic principle underlying the Ameri-

highly financed minority. These unrec-
oncilables are pernicious and vicious mi
nority. This minority must be won over
to the majority. 1t can only be done by
an aggressive educational program and
campaign. There are Is millions of peo-
pie in the United States who were born
outside of our country. Only seven mil
lions of these are nationalized.
Public opinion must also be extended
Prohibition will never be what it should
be anywhere until we get it everywhere
The world is our neighbor. We should
enforce prohibition here to give the proper
impression to the world that is looking on.
II we are slow here we lose, and as we'll
hold back other countries. Public senti-
ment for prohibition growing in their
countries will keep them busy at home
and tighten our burden here.
Must Mobilize Public Sentiment
Third and equally important is the
need for modifying public opinion. We
must make good at elections and in en-
forcement The well-tried and successful
methods of the Anti-Saloon League alone
can do this. Necessary legislation at
Washington and in the different states
must be secured Prohibition enforce
ment, both federal and local, should be
speeded UP. 1t was never intended that
prohibition be enforced by the federal Of
fcer5 without the help of the local. Chi
cago has over six thousand policemen.
Two thousand of these do nothing but
guard the freight passing through this
city. No one who thinks would believe
that the % federal prohibition enforce
ment officers in Chicago could do the po-
lice work necessary to enforce this law.
Enforcement is concurrent task.
"To mobilize public opinion back of
elections and as we'll back of enforcement,
better local organizations must be builded.
We must get back to the local commun-
ity, re-enlist Our constituency and mo-
Billie our forces for the finish fight The
cry On to Washington was opportune,
but TO slow up back home has been mis-
take"
a Message From the Stockholm Confer
ence by Bishop Cannon
81 have been asked to discuss the rela-
ton of world prohibition to the American
situation. The most significant, impor
tant and far-reachng action which has
ever been taken on the subject of drink by
the combined Christian churches of the
world, not including Roman Catholicism,
was taken at the Universal Conference on
Life and Work at Stockholm, Sweden,
last August This conference was the
most representative and important gath
ering of Christian churches which has
been held in over a thousand years.
Thirty-seven countries were represented
in the conference and outstanding leaders
of the churches of these countries were in
attendance.

The way TO get height TO punt
is to elevate the forward point OF
the ball when dropping 1t for the
kick, as in the illustration on the
left. Many players make the mis-
take of turning UP the toe of the
foot in order to give elevation to
the kick.
The trouble with this system is
that the ball is often kicked
straight up in the air. and, because
it strikes the point of the toe when
this is done. as in the illustration
