Frederick e. Schotemeier in reply
to the question, what would you
do If a loved one was i'll and the doc
tor prescribed whisky"
Schortemeier's reply was, I'D
cross that bridge when I came to it.
ShumaI1er ScOrnful
This reply and the failure of Gov
ernor Jackson to make any public
statement or to give a dried reply
to letter from the anti-saloon
superintendent have met with Rev.
Shumaker's scorn.
-"These men should take a stand, "
Shumaker asserted. ''They have
consciences telling them what is
right and wrong. Let them heed
and speak out"
The Shumaller letter to Jackson
followed one sent the Governor by
Gilliom pointing out that Illegally
procured whisky had to be resorted
to to save the life of Mrs. Jackson
and the Gilliom children, and recon-
mending that the Governor take a
stand for modification to permit
medicinal whisky.
Same Reply
Shumaker asked the Governor re-
garding the charge that he had pro-
cured whisky and used it>and his
stand on the Wright dry law. He
got the same reply as did others.
"There will be no statement to
make on the subject"
Pointing out that Jackson had
Anti-Salo9n League support, Shu-
maker said that it was only fair
that he explain his action.

BY Eldora Field

In seven Indiana towns visited, in
north and south directions
In interviews with leading citizens
of those towns, including bankers
doctors, judges, lawyers, merchants,
thinkings persons of varying po-
litical and religious persuasion
I found only one man who abso-
lutely, coldly, inexorably condemned
Governor Jackson's recent action of
giving his wife whisky when her
life hung in the balance and physi-
clans said whisky'w was needed to save
her, and Attorney General Arthur l..
Gilliom's action in urging a change
in the State dry law to permit use
of whisky for medicine.
This man was the mayor of No
blesville. He is filling the uneXpired
term of another and his future po-
litical life will depend upon his pull
ing votes from whatever stronghold
he thinks they're stored. He claims
to reflect the sentiment of many
others, yet julius Joseph, mayor of
Noblesville, alone. of dozens of think
ing, intelligent, successful persons
interviewed, said:
81 condemn both Jackson and
Killiom. / positively condemn what
they did, what they said and what
they've left unsaid. Even if Jack
sons wife's life hung in the balance,
1 think he should not have done what
he did. / think Gilliom should not
have helped him, no matter what the
circumstance.
His Own Situation
az don't say this without realizing
the situation that confronted Jack
son. My wife has had heart trouble
for five years. In that time she has
again and again been at the point
where some would say whisky would
have saved her life. l never dreamed
of, and would not have given 1t to
her, no matter what the outcome
and Joseph glanced at a large, UNI
smiling portrait of Calvin Coolidge
which hung on the wall of his shop
Joseph is a tailor.
In the same town two physicians
had just expressed the opinion that
they thought a law which refused a
dying person n saving drug, though
we call it by the name of whisky, is
too stringent and should be modified.
They were DIR. j. ID. Sturdevant and
DR.. S. w Hook. Here, too, a lead
ing merchant, John Sperry. said, Il
don't believe any man with human
feelings would have done differently
from Governor Jackson"
Another Noblesville man, Frank
Head, county highway superinten-
dent, said: Would 1 allow any
thing to stand in the way Of saving
my wifes life, call it quinine or
call it whisky? No, and l would
have done the same as Jackson did
under like circumstances"
Sees AnnOyances
Dr. Hook explained why many
physicians Tho would like the privi-
lege of using alcohol in the treat
ment Of certain diseases, such as
pneumonia and typhoid, where it
has undoubted value, yet hesitate to
declare themselves.
ut would make us sort of licensed
bootleggers," he said. 1T would
create difficult situations because
pressure would be brought to bear
by those who would not need whisky.
In Illinois, where each physician is
allowed forty pints a year for pre-
scription purposes. it is no easy
matter to wisely dispense the whisky
as a drug"

= Cites Drug Law Success

DR.. Nathaniel Hamilton, a leading
physician Of Kokomo, also referred
TO the Harrison narcotic law as a
successful one.
IF through such a law the dis.
pensing of morphine deadly drug
and the use of which can become
one of the most terrible of habits
is successfully controlled. OF course.
the dispensing Of whisky, to be used
as drug, can be controlled by
proper legislation. he said.
There are diseases such as pneu-
monia. typhoid, and conditions fol-
lowing surgical operations, and
phases Of pregnancy. when no other
drug is as good as this condemned
one, whisky. Certainly a physician
is handicapped by not being able to
use it. Certainly it's a bad law we
have in Indiana which causes law
abiding citizens to feel that they
have To transgress the law in order
TO save life.
1T is true that some physicians
differ as to the curative properties
of alcohol. However. there is a diff
ference in systems OF medicines. yet
we do not therefore contend that
some system should be thrown out,
and if n physician feels that alcohol
is really an effective weapon. he
should not have his hands tied"

Fear that a modification of the

Narcotics are controlled by law. The
Harrison narcotiv law has beauti.
fully taken care of the Illicit dispens-

whisky which would make it posi-
BILE for physicians to use it as they

emphatic. II certainly favor modi-

Emphatic for Change

At Kokomo. j. r. Friedrich, sec
retary-manager of the Kokomo Steel
and Wire Company. and State Cham
Der Of Commerce president, was very
emphatic in his opinion that the
dry-bone law of Indiana should be
modified.
I'm the face Of progress, we can
not legislate against one science
the medical, any more than we can
against any other science" he said.
I'm the laboratory. we can obtain
needed alcohol. Why should physi-
clans, in the fight for suffering hui
manity, be denied any weapon that
their judgment dictates?"
"Of course, there wuold be abuse
of the law if it were modified. Bound
to be. There is abuse of any law
by those who are so disposed, yet
we cannot let that possible abuse in
terfere with justice and common
sense.
1--WE don't abandon the manufac-
ture of firearms because murder can
be done with a gun. We do not
abolish autos because criminals use
them to make quick getaways. We
allow the use of morphine by physi-
clans. Why in the name of common
sense do we interfere with the
physicians weapons when he fights
for a life, just because that weapon,
whisky, is enormously used and traf-
ficked by certain elements?'

been done by the institution at Nash
vile during the past year by this one
million dollar plant. as it is invoiced
for that amount. His report further
showed that the circulation in period
icals, bo oks, pamphlets of religious
nature passed the twelve million
mark during 1927.

"Wild Lady" Jailed for
+ Eating Live Chickens

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Lewis Ballard
erstwhile cidewshow "cannibal," was
arrested here saturday. when he
was seized by humane authori-
ties ON charge of cruelty to ami
mails.
Ballard's role at travelling street
carnival was that of a wild lady"
In his act he devoured actual live
chicken. blood, feathers and all vi
ciously.
Officers who witnessed the act
decided that Ballard's carnivorous
appetite was just a little too wild
for appeasement before the general
public.
Removing the wig of the raving
"lady," they removed him to the
city workhouse, where he will spend
the next few weeks on a diet of
bread. beans and water in. an at
tempt to change his taste.
