AWAKE, FACE THE NATIONAL CRISIS
BY Rev. J. II. CROKER

Our people who demand liberty TO drink.
believe that liquor is life-giver. But this
belief is only an ancient superstition. Al
cohol Is not a stimulant but n depressant.
Not real food but poison to cell and
tissue. Wine is mocker Whisky and
beer deceive the User He thinks he is.
stronger and warmer But scientific tests
prove that lie is mistaken Even moderate
drinkers cannot walk or run as fast rs alb
stainers. They cannot lay Us many brick
or set as many type in an hour; nor COM
nit as many lines of poetry or solve rs
quickly mathematical problems.
The Eighteenth Amendment is q statute
that puts these discoveries OF science into
the form of law. The State, in view of
these facts, cannot longer grant liberty To
drink. now that investigation has proved
that liquor Injuries both the user and also
society. A man has no right to demand
liberty to do what is harmful to himself
and others
The automobile demonstrates the neces-
sity of prohibition. It is so obvious that
drinking drivers mot drunkards but mod
crate drinkerS) are d menace to society
that this matter is beyond argument. The
annual slaughter of thousands and the
injury OF tens OF thousands more or less
due to this cause) are an unanswerable
argument against giving any man the lib
erty to drink. With some twenty million
autos ON our highways, the absolute need
of abstinence is made tremendously ina
pressive
There is no chance for argument here,
Does any court ever discharge the offender
ON his plea that he has the natural right
to drink? Offenders are never SO foolish
as to make such a plea. What they try to
prove Is that they had not been drinking.
And in this connection 1t should be en-
phasized that the danger from drink is
such a serious fact that, no matter how
many millions it costs, the bootiegger must
be suppressed. and II our law is modified
SO as to put liquor on sale in groceries,
how are we going to be protected from
drinking auto drivers?
II the contention of the tpcfs is reason
able-that drinking whisky is natural
right because it is q life-giver-then the
wise thing for the State to do is TO pro-
yiSe oil stations with free whisky bottles
and compel every driver to take q drink
before starting his car!
Here attention needs to be called to the
fact that these auto disasters (due to

In Canada this question OF when q
man is drunk" is not mere question of
campaign propaganda. nor Is it an AGA
clemic question Il comes mp frequently
in determining the guilt of automobile
drivers accused of drunkenness. Judge
Coastantineau speaks of the difficulty OF
determin ng when man is legally drunk
and recommends that a physician be
called at once after the arrest and the &C
cused examined. unless he is $50 mani

New York, Dec. 81 R>-Mrs. Ches-

York prohibition administrator,
nearly beat her husband to the $685.

law enforcement plan. the prize
committee said today.
A plan submitted by Mrs. Mills
kept company with that of her hus-
band until the final sitting of the
half dozen considered to be the best
of hte 1920 contributions, DR.. Will
liam H. Allen, chairman of the
committee said.
Major Mills, said he would have
been less surprised had Mrs. Mills
won the prize than he was at his own
success.
The plan submitted by Mrs. Mills
calls for the education of communi
ties to the necessity of cooperation,
more federal judges, more careful
selection of prohibition agents. large
bonds for manufacturers using alco-
hol. Public reports by prohibition
administrators, additional treaties to
control smuggling and closer
supervision OF Lreweries and the

CUBA To RECEIVE
VISIT Of H00VERS
Plan to Go There After Soiourn
in Florida

Aboard L. s. S. Utah, Dec. - Up
Herbert Hoover is not expected to
concern himself with pending legis-
lation on his visit to Washington.
He has indicated that he will await
his Inauguration and the result OF
this session of congress before decid-
ing on his program. The president
elect intend to devote himself pri-
marily while in Washington to con-
ferences with party leaders on cab
met appointments and to making a
personal report to President Coolidge
about his Latin and South American
tour.
While pressure continues to be
brought on Mr.. Hoover for elaborate
Inauguration ceremonies, he is deter
mined to adhere to his original plan
for induction into office under as
simple program as had been held
within recent years.
This Is one of the matters he is
expected to dispose Of before leaving
Washington for Florida late ip jan
uary. His plans after the Florida
visit are not completed but it Is un-
derstood that he has in mind visit
10 Havana, Cuba, and to Santo Do
mingo, Costa Rica, before his in
auguration. At present it is re-
garded as unlikely that he will find
time to visit Mexico City.
Hear Sailors Sing
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover last night
heard about thousand bluejackets
massed on the quarter deck OF the
Utah sing Are You Lonesome To-
night" 'Let Me Call You Sweet
heart" sinister Zip" and other pop
',lar songs and old favorites. After
wards, before retiring. they watch
ed motion pictures, which are shown

The heat is increasing as the
Utah nears the Equator and last
night many of the party began sleep
ing on cots on the upper deck. The
weather was slightly squally with
rain clouds threatening showers.
