Milton Letter

of July Is, Mr.. lrenee uuT UNI 10
quoted as saying, in assailing the
prohibition law, Religion and poll
ties do not mix, they occupy sepa-
RATE snberes and should be kept sep
arate. Churches have no business
either forcing legislation or intiuen-
cling legislation, and their one great
success in foisting prohibition upon
the limited States has left trail OF
UNPARALLELED corruption and law
breaking" l beg to differ with Mr..
dupont. The prohibition law is
sten towards eliminating the great
est menace to the home business
and religious progression, and 1t Is
clearly the duty of religious folks to
remove that which causes more SIN
and crime than any other factor
known to man. Religion and poll
tics-in the true sense of the WORT
can mix. A religious person who
does not take an active part in poll
tics is not true to himself or MS
God. Left to itself politics would
corrupt all things that are good--lI
there is a dollar in it for the profess
siOnal politicians. Religious folks
taking a more active part IN polltlcs
cannot help but purify politics. Just
what has Mr.. dupont to offer that is
an improvement over the prohlbltlon
law? It is easy to criticize but con-
structive criticism is another thing.
If Mr.. dupont, in his wisdom, ana
from the great resources 1T his hand
can suggest something that VIII
destroy the sin and crime caused by
strong drink, then the religious
folks would be greatly indebted to
him. If he cannot so present bet
ter plan, then let him get aboard the
vehicle now at hand and help rather
than hinder the observance Of the
law-for so prominent a
man as Mr.. dupont, by his rawlings
against the law, is doing much to
encourage law violation. 1t IS not
the bootlegger that makes the pro-
hibition law hard to enforce, but op-
position to the law by such prom1-
nent men as Irenee DUPONT ana
others. Why this opposition? The
Republican politicians of New Cas-
tie county are mentioning Mr.. GU
Pont as a possible candidate Tor U.
S. Senator. Is the "something" he
hopes will occur that will allow him
to vote the Republican ticket" next
fall?
