BY Arthur L. Gul;om

Attorney General of Indiana
The suggestion made in my
letter of April % to the Governor
of Indiana that a.proviso should
be added to the Indiana prohi-
bition statute so as to make
possible the lawful acquisition of
reliable whisky for medicinal
purposes in cases of serious ill
nesses when attending physicians
advise its use as an indispensable
medicine, was made in recognition
Of the natural right and duty
that every one has to use every
means to save the lives of de-
pendents. The idea Of such a
proviso is not new in view of it's
presence in the national prohi-
bition act, as well as it's presence
in most State prohibition statutes.
My suggestion is not to be
construed as an argument
against prohibition. 1t is rather
to be taken as being in the in
terest of prohibition. Prohibition
laws, to be successful, can only
be aimed at the abuse of liquors
for beverage purposes; when they

support that is needed to make
them successful in their proper
objects and purposes.
/ have always favored. and
now favor, honest hibition.
And because I do favor it is the
reason why / only suggest that
a carefully guarded proviso be
added to the existing statute so
as to take out Of its scope and
operation an object that cannot
be justly made prohibitive. Such
a proviso will strengthen. not
weaken the prohibition statute
of Indiana.
OF course the dominating rea-
son for such a proviso is the
natural right and duty that
every one has to make use of all
available scientific agencies that
physicians may prescribe in an
effort to save the lives Of the
sick.

Welcome Death
Pastors of two former Presidents,
Wilson and Harding, disagreed with
DIR. John Roach Straton, New York
Baptist Fundamentals preacher,
who said the Indiana officials should
have welcomed death for their kin
rather than break the law.
DR.. James H. Tyler, whose Presby-
terian church here President Wilson
attended, said: "The great rule of
common sense should prevail. The
decision should be left to the doctor" :"
whisky or death were not the
only alternatives" said DR.. w. S.
Abernethy, President Harding S

could be used just as we'll as whisky,
which I do not regard as necessary
for medicinal purposes. AS good an
authority as Dr. Mayo, of Rochester,

leries renew the present diminishing
stocks of medicinal whisky, issued
new broadside.
He declared no evidence had been
offered to show necessity for manu-
featuring medicinal whisky now.
Present stocks, he said, will suffice
for six years, land besides this stock,
there are S02, 900 gallons of gin
and between 100000 and 100000
gallons of aged alcohol which may
be reduced to whisky base if nee

Out at the Indiana School for the
Blind. Meridian and North SITS,
they'll be holding their graduation
exercises Monday night and for three
persons the event will be the realiza-
ton of years of hope.
Not the idle hope which ends with
the expression of a wish. but the
kind of hope which spurs along that
"do.or-die" spirit and lifts persons
above the masses.
For besides being hopeful, the
three blind persons who are to be
graduated-Lucy Matilda Burke,
Clinton, and Carl Avise Guthrie and
Lillian Scott. Bedford-have gone
along on the theory that God Helps
Those Who Help Themselves"
Inspiration to Many
Their determination to make their
lives successful-their plans for the
future-should be an inspiration for
the thousands who will graduate
from other Indianapolis schools this
spring.
Already they've mapped out the
highway of life they want 10 travel.
Miss Burke expects to become a
teacher. Miss Scott will do gov
erness work. and Guthrie expects
some day to prefix his name with
a degree. He's going to college to
become a Doctor of Chiropractic.

timists it putting it lightly; to say
they are idealists-well. talk TO

FATHER FRANCIS-I do not see
any reason Why the law permitting
the sale OF whisky for medical pur-
poses should be any more stringent
than that Of selling certain other
drugs.
THE REV. ELMER WARD COLE
1t is a matter of opinion, clearly,
whether whisky saved the life of
Governor Jackson's wife. Personal
ly, I am not convinced that it did.
Some OF our best physicians
frequently testify that liquor is not
necessary.
THE REV. J. BURT BOWMAN
I am not convinced that it Is neces-
sary to serve whisky to any patient.
II it could be proved that liquor is alb
solutely necessary and as good as
other medicine it might be different,
but ] am still Of the opinion it is not.
The moral effect it would have in
the community at large would also
be bad.

VIXEN Miss Burke smiles she
smiles. and they say Of her at the
school that she smiles continually.
And that smile of hers is so con-
tagious that one Immediately forgets
her affliction.
But Not Abashed
Dark of hair and brim full of that
quality called personality, she seems
not in the least abashed by blind
ness. In fact, Socrates might have
been speaking of her when. after
observing a blind man, he said:
THE blind have one thing to be
thankful for. They can picture the
beautiful things in their mind and
not have to look continually at the
sordid things of the world"
She forgets her ailment and looks
at the more pleasant things and if
anyone ever had a right to hold A
grudge against fate she has.
Beginning life in an orphanage at
Plymouth. she reached the eighth
grade in the school and suddenly
went blind.
