STORY THAT KANSAS CITY WAS WIDE Open, DENIED

Statements in the Chicago Tribune
that Kansas City was wide open during
the Republican national convention and
that all liquor laws were repealed tenn
porarily is branded as false by W. Harold
Lane, deputy prohibition administrator.
Nathan r. johnson, superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League for the Kansas
City district, today conferred with Mr..
Lane relative to the Chicago Tribune
story which was published June Is.
Mr.. Lane pointed out that injunctions
against sixty-f1ve bootlegging establish
ments were issued just prior to the con-
Vention. He produced clippings from the
Kansas City papers telling of the raids
and contiscations of liquor made in
preparation for the convention.
CITY DRY LANE CONTENDS
He said there we're seventy prohibition
agents working constantly during the
convention to keep the city dry.
Every effort was made to enforce the
prohibition laws during the convention"
said Mr.. Lane, and conditions were quite
the contrary to what the Chicago
Tribune pictures them. kansas City

In an editorial June %, the Kansas
City Star said:
DRINKING AT CONVENTIONS"
1T is said there was a good deal of
drinking among the delegates to the Kan
saS City convention. Very likely this is
true. although there must be considerable
guesswork about the reports. The drink
ing was all done in private rooms under
cover. No one person could have extern
sive personal knowledge of the facts.
They were not apparent on the streets.
If a drunken man was seen it was Ger
tainly a most unusual sight
1T was not so in the preVolstead days
that now are so often referred to as the
age of temperance and purity. Anyone
accustomed to attending national conven-
tons knows what elaborate preparations
were made to afford drinking facilities.
All the important barrooms we're pro-
vided with extra equipment, and the
drinkers were lined up five deep when
ever the cinvention was not in session.
Yes, there probably was drinking at
the recent Republican convention; less
than per cent, say of what there used
to be in the good old days of the saloon"

Amendment merely compromises with
situation that should be squarely
faced.-WdShington I'D. c. Post
The Washington editor is much mud
died in his analysis of the wet program.
If he is right in his concluding state
ment-and he is-what about the route
which the association proposes to take
to obtain this objective? Is circumvent-
ing the legal method of amending the
Constitution by attempting to permit
each state to allow traffic in intoXica eng
liquors of such alcoholic strength as it
desires, while the Constitution prohibits
all Intoxicating liquor, facing the situa-
ton squarely?

Roscoe c. Edlund, of New York, direc-
tor of the Cleanliness Institute, declared
before the National Conference of Social

annually on welfare and educational ac-
tivity. This means a million dollars for

CHURCHES ENDORSE PROHIBITION AND THE ANTESALOON
TEACITE


"The coming presidential election is
such that no Christian citizen can fail to
recognize his responsibility. The general
platitudinous terms of law enforcement
will not suffice in any party platform or
on the lips of candidates for this high
Office. No greater challenge ever con-
fronted the country and the process of
orderly government than that which con-
fronts the nation at the present hour
Whether prohibition, which has been won
by the sacrifice of life and treasure, shall
live and endure depends ultimately upon
those candidates who shall, as the spokes-
men of their parties, declare themselves
on this issue.
The hour has now arrived when there
can be no compromise on the part of the
friends of prohibition There can be no
evasion of duty on the part of those who
seek this high office which is the most in
f1uential in the nations life-the presi-
dency of the United States. It is either
the notification of the Eighteenth
Amendment to the Constitution by po-
litical sanction and evasion or the clear
cut support of it both by personal effort
and by the pledge of all the resources of
government by whoever is elected by the
will of the people. There can be no COM
promise. There can be no further eva
sion OF responsibility.
THE Presbyterian church should pledge
itself anew to the task of again arousing
the Christian conscience of its member
ship to the issue now confronting us. To
this cause the church should pledge it's
spiritual resources
The Synod of Illinois adopts in toto the
ringing message of our national body and
calls attention to the fact that in the
coming struggle our state will occupy
pivotal position. Illinois contains the
great city of Chicago heretofore regarded
as a stronghold of liquor propaganda and
laWlessness. If the citizens of our state
throw themselves unreServedly into this
struggle and administer to the liquor in
tereSts and their candidates a smashing
defeat, it will not only add our full quota
to the electors in the electoral college but
it will proclaim to the world that Illinois
refuses to remain stronghold of liquor
laWlessness and violence. Illinois stands
for law and order and the enforcement of
the Eighteenth Amendment and is pre-
pared to do her full duty in bringing it
about
We express our appreciation to the tire
less and vigorous warfare of the Woman'S
Christian Temperance Union and the
Anti-Saloon League against the organized
liquor traffic. To them the church en-
trusted interdenominational leadership
in this undertaking. We congratulate
them on the success now attained and
pledge to them our continued co-opera-
ton and support.

FIRING BACK

There are, of course, perfectly
honest enforcement agents, estimated
by bootleggers who do not like them,
to number about 10 in 1000, not a
high aVerage.-Chicago American.
This kind of wild exaggeration. without
any facts or figures as evidence, shows
the desperate straights in which the
liquor apologists find themselves in their
fight to come back.

We should not let ourselves be
bamboozled into believing that prohi-

it really is by the solemn sound and

force it-RoBERT DIXON WESTON, Pro-
Inhibition and Democracy.
Let Chief Justice Taft answer this. He
says: Lone who in the matter of National
holds his personal opinion
and his claim for personal liberty to be a
higher sanction than this overwhelming
expression of the people is
a disciple of practical BolsheVism.

Extracts from the resolutions adopted
by the Swedish Baptist Church at their
annual conference held at Galesburg, L.
linois May 20 to "a:
ITO the Anti-Saloon League OF Illinois:
1.-THE terrific and insidious warfare be-
ing Waged by the liquor interests Of the
land against the Eighteenth Amendment
and the Volstead Act, calls for the united
and whole hearted support of the work
being done by the Anti-Saloon League, by
the churches of our land, in combating
and fighting this deadly enemy, in our
legislative bodies as we'll as in our towns
and cities.
I'VE commend George B. Stafford, Su-
perintendent of the Anti-Saloon League
of Illinois, for the fight he is carrying on
against the forces of evil in our state and
we pledge him and the League our sup
port and urge that no effort be spared to
carry the fight into high and low places,
that it may be understood by the enemy
that we shall never cease this warfare
until the bootlegger and whisky trust is
crushed and banished from our land"
by the Northern Baptist Convention at its
annual meeting held at Detroit, June 16
to 81:
1.-THE Anti-Saloon League:
1--WE express our conviction that the
Anti-Saloon League is one of the most
efficient agencies in our national life to-
day in keeping the facts concerning pro-
hibition and law enforcement before the
American people, and the one organiza-
ton among us most feared by those who
would tamper with and destroy the Eight
zenith Amendment. The times that are
on us demand united action and solid
front on the part of all our citizens who
wish to maintain respect for and obedi-
ence to the laws of our land.
wherefore, We as Baptists of the
Northern Baptist Convention, now as
sembled wish to go on record as coop
Grating with the Anti-Saloon League in
its heroic fight against all enemies of
good government; believing it to be the
most formidable foe of those who are
striving to nullify and modify the Eight
zenith Amendment To our Federal Consti-
tuition and urge the churches to support
it. the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union and all other organizations that
are seeking to create respect for law
and establish righteousness among our
people"

One of the greatest disappoint-
mentS-one may even say Shocks
of National Prohibition has been its
effect on our international reputa-
tion.-W. H. STANTON, President Ma
tionaI Association Opposed to Prohi-
bitiOn.
Where is the evidence? All of the
leading powers promptly and gladly COM
piled with the overtures of the United
States and signed treaties placing their
subjects in friendly cooperation with us
in the observance of, and respect for,
American Prohibition Our interna-
tional reputation has been augmented
many times over by our prohibition
policy, except among the moneyed wine
and whisky interests of Europe who can
no longer exploit us. Let Mr. Stayton
join them in singing their melancholy
blues Citizens with true American ideals
and patriotism will prefer to join in
thanksgiving with our many friends
across the water, who have caught some
thing Of the vision of America in adopt
ing the Eighteenth Amendment as voiced
by such statements as the following from
the London Mail: Europe is confronted
by a dry America commanding not only
material resources but an efficiency in in
dustrial and civic life beyond any STAN
dards in European society. For us and
for our national future, what is that
going TO mean?" And the following
from famous physician, Sir Arthur
NeWSholme: For Americans Prohibition
is not a condition of mind, but means
to secure liberation from a great slavery;
and if the will of the people remains con-
slant then America will have successfully
carried through the boldest and most
momentous experiment in social reform
which the world has known"
church can do much toward turn
ing this world into bit Of heaven if
it keeps away from 80 per cent of
modern problems and minds its own
business.-BRUNo LEssING, in Chi
cgagO Herald Examiner.
Let the churches confine themselves to
saving souls, while the commercialized
vice lords, and other enemies of society,
do all the politics. That is the Utopia
which certain forces are striving for APP
piled Christianity hurts their business.
Those whose ideas of "bit of heaven" is
their own pockets filled with gold though
coined from the weakness and appetites
of their fellowmen, will, without ques-
ton agree with Mr. Lessing's admonition
to the churches But the church will
continue to mind its own business and
it knows what that business is.

The people in France or other for
eigners don't get drunk except when
they happen to be travelling Ameri-
cans-Chicago Herald and Examiner,
June 8, 1928.
For example, convictions for drunken
ness in Great Britain have mounted since
the war from BOOTS in 1918 to 67,126 in
1926, while the latest United States Cen
sus Bureau report shows a decrease of
$50 per 100000 population in imprison-
ments for drunkenness here since 1910.
We haven't the figures from France, but
the evils of excessive drinking have been
so prevalent and alarming there, that the
government itself has been placarding
municipalities with warnings against
drink Commissioner Bukharin, Lenin's
successor, in recent speech, is reported
by the press to have said that drunken
ness is enc of the six evils threatening
Russia. According to official statistics,
he said, workers are spending fifteen per
cent of their pay on booze, and alcohol
ism is becoming rife even in the Red
army. All the officials of the youths Or
carnations we're called upon to preach
temperance and combat the increasing
immortality among youth which was de-
clared due to drunkenness.
