POINTS FOR THANKSGIVING
FOR TEMPERANCE WORKERS

The following points for the en-
enlargement of temperance workers
are given by The Union Signal, Of
fetal organ of the National w. c. I.
u.
FIRST. We have the Eighteenth
Amendment safely landed in the
Constitution, and even our antagon-
lists view with dismay the herculean
task of attempting to remove It,
knowing that if it ever could be done
| it would take a huge amount of la
Dor and long, long period of mis-
education.
SECOND. We have secured the
Volstead Code, which notwithstand-
ing many attacks by its enemies,
still remains on our statute books as
law in good and regular standing,
upheld by the Supreme Court of the
Nation.
THIRD. We have a Congress
which we have every reason to belive
can be depended upon to stand firm
for the retention of the Volstead
Code, without modification down
ward.
FOURTH. We have in almost all
our states excellent enforcement
laws in harmony with the national
dry law. These laws too have with
stood the numerous assaults Of the
vets.
FIFTH. We have on our side
the majority of the governors of our
states, convinced of the value of the
prohibition and endeavoring to see
that the law is enforced in their
commonwealth.
SIXTH. We have in the Hon.
Calvin Coolidge, president who is
the incarnation of a we'll observed
prohibition law. Neither he nor his
family drink alcoholic beverages; nor
do they serve them in the White
House, and as a result of his example
and admonition, Washington society
is said to be gradually but surely
"going dry"
SEVENTH. We have as general
issimo of the enforcement forces,
General Lincoln G. Andrews, who
with his splendid force of officials,
is demonstrating ability to handle
successfully his big job.
EIGHTH. We have on the part of
our judges a growing sense of re-
sponsibility for imposing adequate
penalties upon law violators, even
tho they may be personal friends or
neighbors.
NINTH. We have a vast amount
of scientific facts and findings prov
ing the injurious effects of alcohol
even in beverages like beer, that is
widely disseminated will build up
sentiment for prohibition.
TENTH We have an increasing
volume of evidence from the highest
and most dependable sources that the
economic and social effect of pro-
hibition has been highly beneficial to
business, home life and individuals.
ELEVENTH. We have whole
heartedly with us the membership of
the Protestant Church, which, when
aroused to a sense of its obligation,
is a mighty power that none can
withstand.
TWELFTH. We have throughout
the nation thousands of newspapers,
published in the smaller cities and
towns, and not few in the metro
politan centers, that are flaming
heralds on the subject of prohibition
and law enforcement.
THIRTEENTH. We have strong
organizations of men, women and
young people, diligently carrying on
educational campaigns among the
people and awakening them to a
sense of civic responsibility to help
enforce the dry law.
FOURTEENTH. And finally, we
have Divine leader, who is piano.
piled with wisdom and power, and
whose hand is not shortened and
whose arm cannot fail.
