Enforce Prohibition
IN .Ne1U York Sector
at All Cost, Demand

turn to the basic question whether
in the country as whole the Vol
stead method Of dealing with the Ii
quor traffic had not been more eff
fective than any ether.
Bishop Cannon, who is head Of the
Legislative committee Of the Anti
Saloon league, was followed by other
officials of church and temperance
organizations, who presented data
designed to ansnt the contention Of
the vets that conditions have grown
worse under the dry laws"
Source Of Wet Testimony
II was noteworthy, Bishop Cannon
said. that the testimony presented by
the opponents Of prohibition had
come almost entirely from persons
living in 1.-The New York sector" in
cluding New York, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
Two of these states, Maryland and
New York, have utterly refused to
pass any state enforcement law" he
said. land yet the very men in those
states who are largely responsible for
the failure TO pass an enforcement
law, are the ones who are Loudly and
illogically denouncing the failure to
enfroce the law"
Reviewing some of the testimony
for the vets, he said, he could not be
made to believe that ninety per cent
of the laboring people of the coun-
thy are violating the constitution by
the manufacturer Of intoxicants in
their homes.
"As an American citizen" he add
ed, Il repudiate these wholesale as
sertions as not applying to the great
mass Of our American people. Ger
tainly, they do not apply to the more
than 2l.000,900 Sunday scholars, s.
100000 members of young peoples
societies, and over 30,O00.0 church
members Of the Protestant churches.
Purely Guess Work
There were mocnshincrs all
through the southe. n moustains be-
fore prohibition and the appetite for
alcohol was not destroyed when the
prohibitory law passed. But outside
of the number of stills actually cap
tured by the prohibition office all
calculation l. purely guess work"
The bishop heartily endorsed the
bill of General Andrews, the prohibi-
tion chief, to strengthen the Volstead
act, saying the government should
make clear statement that 4
"lawless minority" shall not be
permitted to flaunt the constitution" :"
