State Senator A. S. Cuthbertson, Bunker

conference and the executive committee
of the Anti-Saloon League.
1.-THE fact said resolution that
many political leaders, instead of asking
for repeal OF the Eighteenth Amendment
to which they claim to be opposed are
promoting the candidacy Of a man for the
presidents chair who is opposed to the
principle of prohibition of the liquor traf-
fic and the laws in harmony with that
principle, shows that they aim not at re-
peal but notification and aim to paralyze
a law which they are aware they cannot
repeal
Law abiding citizens should ignore
partisanship and demand that candidates
whom they support take definite stand
on the subject of prohibition. Likewise
should we demand from candidates for
governor, state officers, judges and county
attorneys that they give their hearty sup
port to prohibition.

The CHURCHES SPEAK OUT

We doubt if at any time the great de-
nominations have spoken with such ring
ing clarity upon the subject of prohibition
enforcement as in the current year.
The Methodist Quadrennial Conference,
the meetings of the various Baptist bodies,
the Presbyterian General Assembly, the
various Swedish Lutheran conferences
and indeed all the denominations whose
proceedings have come to our attention
have spoken strongly on this subject.
We believe this year the churches are
going to present more united and ag-
greSsive front on this subject than ever
before. Tt promises victory for NE cause
and a speedy end of the struggle to make
permanent the whole policy of National
Prohibition. God grant it may come soon.

The Rev. o. H Nelson, of Chi

nual convention in Moline last week
of Illinois conference of Augustana
Lutheran synod, denies that he
stated on the convention floor that
one of the main objects of the Anti
Saloon League is to collect money,
regardless of whether it is good or
bad. The Rev. Mr.. Nelson declares
that when a resolution endorsing
the Anti-Saloon League and prohi-
bition was introduced he referred to
certain exceptional cases of men
recommended by the league for the
legislature. Mr.. Nelson says that
he is a strong prohibitionist and
member of the board of the Anti
Saloon League.

COOLIDGE is RIGHT
IF People Are Determined Lawless-
ness Shall Cease Public Off
Gals Will Be Alert

In his Decoration Day address at Get
tysburg, President Coolidge gave the
American people something worth while
to think about He declared that IAN in
dustriouS and law-abiding people will
make peacefur nation" and that such a
happy condition depends on the individual
and the home Said the president IF
around the nations firesides respect for
authority, reverence for holy things and
obedience to parental discipline are taught,
the surest foundation for peace will be
laiG"
Who is to blame if laws are not OBJ
served and enforced? Who are back of
the officials? Who are to blame if crimi-
nails are not speedily punished? Hear
President Coolidge
It is very easy to cast the blame
upon the police authorities, the prose-
cutting officers, and the courts. But if
a criminal condition continues to pre-
vail, the blame goes beyond these Off
Gals. We live under a system of
popular government. Our officers re-
fleet to a very large degree public
opinion.
If the people themselves show that
they are determined to have crime
stamped out, there will be no lack of
vigilance on the part of the police, no
lack of energetic action on the part Of
prosecuting attorneys, and no lack of
adequate penalty on the part of the
courts. If the people are careless and
Indifferent, if they look with COM
placency on crime and assume SEN
timental attitude toward criminals,
little reform can be hoped for. If, on
the other hand, the people remember
that good government only can be Sc
cured by the exercise of eternal vigi-
lance, that it is necessary constantly
to resist evil tendencies, if they will
take such action as is necessary to
give adequate expression to their de-
termination to terminate laWleSsnesS
and crime. it can be done.
And who will says the president is not
right?
Careless and Indifferent voters mean
careless and indifferent officials. Public
sentiment is as effective as ever, but it
must be active. LaWlessness is the result
of a dormant public sentiment. The crimi-
nal element is never inactive. Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty, and liberty
in its best sense is opposed to lawleSS-
ness.

That is why the saloonists of the old

the license fee, the longer the selling

the more righteous and imbued with love

to remedy the evils of the liquor traffic

Does Mr.. Stayton think the American
people have forgotten the liberty of the
old saloon days? The following from a
letter received at this Office presents a
picture of this liberty MY father was
born in England and when a little child
was taught by his parents to drink beer,
in fact he was taught to break his bread
in beer and eat it the same as we did
bread and milk. The consequence was he
drank beer all his life. He had a large
family, a large mortgage, and small
farm. He drank beer when his family (of
whom l was one) did not have enough to
wear. He would take me to town with
him and would spend 81 per cent of his
time in dirty, rotten saloons. I had to
stay with him as I was only a child and
had no other place to 60 What I saw
and the impressions got will not bear re-
