ROCK RIVER CONFERENCE
Paragraphs From the Report of
Public Policy Committee to Rock
River Conference, 1926

Prohibition. 1t took scyenty-live years
OF education and honest campaigning TO
put prohibition into the Constitution of
the United States. The nation survived
the iniquities of the liquor traffic during
that long period. If the enemies of pro-
hibition think it should be taken out of
the Constitution, let them proceed in legal
and constitutional ways to remove it. The
nation will certainly survive under prohi-
bition while they proceed lawfully to re-
peal the amendment. Modification of the
Eighteenth Amendment is un-American
and unconstitutional. Those who attempt
to dispose of prohibition by notification
are enemies of cur form of government.
The Anti-Saloon League We declare
our confidence in the Anti-Saloon League.
1t has been our most effective agency in
securing national prohibition and our
most effective agency for promoting law
enforcement.
No dereliction of any individual repre-.
senting the League has not been sufficient
to impeach the soundness of the Leagues
principles and operations. The expense
of operating the League has been eco
nomical in comparison with its achieve
ments. The total expenditures Of the
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1926-11-20

League have been small in comparison
with the expenditures of the opponents
of prohibition.
Newspapers and Prohibition We warn
our citizens against the insidous wet
propaganda carried on by many newspa-
pers. Their unfair treatment of prohibit
ton is almost unparalleled in newspaper
treatment of public issue. They ignore
monumental evidence of the good achieved
by prohibition but utilize their interna-
tional news organizations to scour the
earth for facts and falsehoods prcjudicial
to prohibition. then wifully and persis-
tently falsify and distort the news and
pursue an editorial policy which at times
is driveling, to establish their prejudice
against prohibition.

IDENTIFY and militantly on the side of ma
tional and world prohibition
The liquor interests, suffering colossal
defeat and billions of loss in the United
States, have combined with the liquor pro-
ducing forces of other nations to utterly
diseredit American prohibition. The amaz-
ing fasehoods, neutrality-suspicious. and mis-
representations of our American prohibit
ton policy, printed widely in the press of
the world, has not only caused other ma
tons to doubt the efficacy and success of
prohibition in the United States, but has
cooled and neutralized the attitude of
many who are the natural friends of pro-
hibtion.
This commercialized lying is done by
men and women who have sold themselves
to perpetrate colossal fraud and perpetuate
a diaboical Misrepresentation of Ameri-
men and women, cartoonists and editors,
are fully conscious of the fact that they
have sold themselves and their talents.
Every time they write an article, draw
picture or build an editorial, they know
they are lying, and are lying for living.
These people are of low mentality. They
have an almost total loss OF moral sense
and arc spiritual vacuities.
We address ourselves tonight directly
to this company of men and women at
home and abroad, and, having laid the
charge to their faces that they are lying
for living, call upon them to deeply re-
pent of this wickedness, find more hon
orable employment, regain their self-re-
spect, feel once more the glow of moral
integrity, and by earnest prayer to Al
mighty God, save their souls Thus they
may escape damnation that awaits every
liar.
We address ourselves also to the read
ing public to acquaint itself through indie
pendent and clean sources, with the ac-
tual facts Of the onward march and VIC
torious growth of American prohibition.

FOOLED AGAIN

French papers are misled by the noise
OF vets in this country over the recent
election. These French papers are over
joyed because of alleged wet triumphs
and are counting on the United States
quickly becoming wet and buying enough
French wine to make it possible for
France to pay her Indebtedness to Uncle
SAM. Might as wei expect to find gold
at the end Of the rainbow.

LYING FOR A LIVING
y Evening Comment by Dr. M p Boynton the Woodawn
Baptist Church, Chicago November IA, 1926

AS one reads the daily press he is deep
" shocked to note how some special writ
ers and artists are lying for living. It
has come to pass that the personal bias of
ownership colors not alone the editorial
page but news items and cartoons. This
IS the open sore of journalism.
