FAILURE OF PROHIBITION LAID
TO DELINQUENCY OF OFFICIALS
Work of Schools and Churches Needed TO Make
Success OF Dry Law, Research Head of Federal
Council Says in Report. -

traffic is likely to continue until forces
of civic orga nization and social edu-
cation succeed in developing a public
opinion strong enough to modify the
habits of that portion of the popula-
ton which has thus far refused to be
governed by the law. The fact which

ground is that q favorable and en-
couraging trend which began several
years before 1920 has been reversed
since that year-temporarily, many
believe. There is no little ground for
hope that We are turning the corner,
but there is no basis for assurance.
Challenge to Churches.
This situation presents an unprec-
edented challenge to the schools and
the churches. Thus far the delin-
quency of the churches is perhaps
even greater than that of the Federal
Government. In former years tenn
perance education was stressed as a
part of the religious educational pro-
gram. 1t was often of a decidedly in
ferior type. to be sure. but the i'm
portance of temperate living and self
control was kept continually before
our youth. With the passing of the

education with reference to temperate
living has been all but ignored. AS n

full analysis was made of the mate
rials of religious education now in use
with respect to the training of chill
dren and youth in temperance and in
the responsibilities of citizenship en-,
tailed by the prohibition laws. The
results, which have been published
elsewhere, were chiefly negative.
Even the rude awakening that the
outbreak of lawlessness has brought
seems to have registered more In
mere protest, on the one hand. and in
encouragement and dissatisfaction

of the people. Religion and education
must do that. Nothing but energetic
and sustained educational effort can

proceeded to Stevens Point, where
last night he opened his campaign
for the final drive for the senatorship
Developments yesterday tended to
Clarity the anti-La Toilette situation.
Daniel Woodward, who ran third in
the Republican primary with Ku Klux
klan Endorsement and had asserted
he might run as an independent at
the election, definitely withdrew. His
withdrawal was accompanied by the
following statement issued at Osh-
kosh:
"Wednesday morning I made a
statement to the Republican head
quarters of this city that If Mr. Roy
p. Wilcox would withdraw from the
race. | would withdraw, leaving our
supporters to select a candidate sat
isfactory to both parties.
Under the circumsta noes. I having
received close to 5000 votes in the
primary and Mr.. La Toilette having
received a landslide Endorsement, ii
seems wise for me to withdraw in
favor of Edward F. Dithmar"
Almost Immediately following Wood
wards announcement came a state
ment from c, B. Lewis, imperial ku
klux Klan representative in Wiscon-
sin, that the klansmen Of the State
were not going to be fooled into Sl1p-
porting the reactionary element rep
resented by Roy p. Wilcox"
Mr.. Lewis refused to say who would
receive the klan Endorsement.
while many klansmen in the State
voted for Robert M. La Toilette as a
protest against Wilcox" Mr.. Lewis
said, 1.-The klan is just as much op-
posed to the radical and un-American
principles of Gov. Blaine as 1t ever
was and will continue until ultimate
victory crowns our efforts, but we are
not going to be fooled into support of
the reactionary element represented
by Wilcox. The Klan Is not for sale. -

If prohibition is to he made a sue
cess. the task is up to the schools and
churches.
Such is the conclusion of Rev. F.
Ernest Johnson head of the educa-
ton and research department of the
Federal Council of Churches, at the
end of a comprehensive study of the
present liquor situation in the United
States. in which he made no effort to
pass over the present alarming tend
encieS
With a new Federal policy he sees a
reduction, if not an end. TO enforce
ment scandals. But he also holds that
no enforcement policy can be A COM
plete success while a large and inf1u.
entail portion of the populace is not in
sympathy with it.
Saloon Little Favored.
Dislike of prohibition, he found,
crops up in all classes of society, from
prosperous business and professional
men to immigra Mt laborerS who can
not speak English to express their
views.
He found little sentiment. however,
in favor of the return of the saloon.
In conclusion he says:
when the darker side of the pro-
nibition situation is faced. it must be
remembered that no intelligent advo-
cate of the new regime expected that
1t would be fully effective. Further,
no one familiar with the efforts of
those States which adopted prohibi-
ton policy many years ago has been
surprised that violations of the law
have persisted in very obstinate fash
ion. The fact that prohibition is still
far from yielding the results that were
hoped for from it does not warrant the
widely current assumption that it can
not be enforced. No adequate effort
at enforcement has yet been made.
Officials Delinquent.
But there Is a dangerous fallacy in
the often heard statement that our
failure to secure through prohibition
the social results that had been desired
and predicted is due solely to delin-
quency on the part of enforcement
officials. The fact that the adoption
of a national policy by so overwhelm-
ing a vote should be followed So soon
by virtual nullifica ton of that policy
by important sections of the popula-
ton signifies something much deeper
than administrative inefficiency and
failure. The scandals that have at
tended our experience with prohib1-
ton are part of the picture of what
happens in a society like ours when
such a reform is undertaken by polit-
ical action. The illicit liquor traffic
is quite as much the cause as it is the
! effect of the political corruption that
is associated with 1t. The funda-
mental fact is that large part of our
people are unconvinced with refer
ence to the liquor traffic. The trouble
is with the people more than with
their Government.
IF the new campaign of the Federal
Government succeeds, the shutting off
of the liquor supply at its main
sources may take the profit out of the
business. break up the organization
and reduce the traffic to controllable
quantities. On the other hand, it's
suppression may ultimately depend
upon State and municipal agencies, in
which case the immediate future in
several States is dark. There are sec
