Last week n Tacoma banker was
shot in the Bank right at the door
without even being ordered to put
up his hands. How long are we
"as a nation going to put up with
the gangs Of cowaldIy murderers
who are spreading n reign Of ter

evident that they are in a class
with savage wild beasts, every
thug found carrying gun is a pc,
Genital murderer and should be
given a short shrift when caught.
If execution Of criminals is, as
some claim, no deterrent, why do
the criminals put up such fight

when they have committed some
crime over thcrel II is simply
shocking that such dcsperados are
pordoned by governors and the

London.-Dayid Lloyd George, form

words 10 say Of the prohibition law in
the United States. He spoke at the
City temple on The responsibilities
of free churchmen.'
Abiding to the church's RESPONSE
bilities on the drink question, he said {:
"Do not let us try TO cure eternal
problems with an external plaster OF
words. Prohibition is an experiment
we ought 70 investigate"
Despite unemployment and an adj
verse trade balance. he asserted that
England spent last year $4,000, 600
pounds on alcoholic liquors.
It had been suggested that prohibit
tion In America was the craze of
cranks. but when he went to America
found this entirely untrue; he never
met a man who would vote for the re-
Of the saloon. SO far
as public opinion in America was con-
cerned, the beer house was a thing Of
the past.
