SAME OLD CROWD
And it Operates in the Same Old
Way it did Years Ago

Why should any person be surprised
that the old wet crowd is as jealous in
their opposition to prohibition as it was
in opposing restrictive and regulatory
laws when it was not a crime to sell
liquor?
In the days when the traffic was taxed
or licensed, and there we're laws against
selling to minors, and drunkards, and
the law specified the hours in which liq-
uor could be sold, it was rare to find a
saloonkeeper who did not disregard these
restrictions. Competition was keen.
Brewers urged saloons they owned or con-
trolled to push for business, and they did
So
But the saloonkeepers and brewers were
not the only law violators In those days
speakeasies and bootleggers we're numer-
Gus. In almost every city there were as
many SpeakeasieS as licensed saloons,
While bootleggerS were as plentiful as
now.
Do you remember when the late Frank
B. Willis was Governor of Ohio and a
committee of saloonkeepers came down
from Cleveland and demanded protection
from the speakeasies? They said speak
eaSieS in that city were as numerous as
Saloons and did not pay the $1,000 state
license fee. The licensed saloonkeepers
wanted protection for their business?
And yet the old liquor crowd would have
you believe bootleggers and speakeaSies
were unknown in the days of the saloon
And now the liquor gang is plugging
away and trying to break down the dry
law as it used to break down the regula-
tory laws. Here in Ohio the vets are Or
ganizing to repeal the Eighteenth Amend
ment and in the crowd behind the Asso-
citation Against the Prohibition Amend
ment are many of the men who were tied
up with the brewers and saloons of other
days. They were lawless then, and they
conspire with lawbreakers now. Booze
and its adherents have no respect for law
and deceney

BISHOP CANNON REPLIES
Categorically Refutes Charges
Made Against Him by Vets

Bishop James Cannon Jr., OF the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, has an
sWered the various charges which have
been published against him recently in a
15,000-Word statement.
He answered specifically the charges OF
profiting in flour during the war, the crit
icism of his stock transactions, and the
charge that he had used the funds Of the
Board of Temperance of his church to
further the election of President Hoover
through the work of the anti-Smith Dem
ocrats of Virginia, and the contention
that he improperly used his church Office
for political purposes.
Restating his denials of wrong-doing in
every instance, he reiterated his opposi-
ton to Governor Smith, Democratic cam
didate for President, John j. Raskob,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, and Senator Glass, of Vir-
ginia.
Either Raskobism must be discarded
and repudiated or dry southern Democrats
are of necessity permanently out of the
party"
Charging efforts at political intimida-
ton" against him he asked:
"Is not this a concerted, desperate eff
fort of Raskobism to destroy my influence
with the people of Virginia in the ap-
preaching election? Will the people of
Virginia approve or disapprove of these
attacks upon my reputation and influence
in these political assassins?"

where previously it came in by the freight
car loads"
Mr. Sinclair tells the Paris editor that
he has not seen a drunken man in Cali
fornia in three or four years, and does
not think he has seen more than two or
three in ten years. Also, he said he saw
two or three upon a recent visit to New
York City. He remarks that in the old
days he would have seen hundreds in the
same period of time. He closes his letter
with this statement: Prohibition will
never be rescinded in America The ma
jority of our people are overwhelmingly
for it, and only in a few of Our big cities
do candidates for Office dare to run as
VETS"
And 1t Is true that the great mass of
the American people accept prohibition,
and want it to succeed, while the organ
lied liquor interests, supported by some
wet newspapers, are working hard to de-
stroy prohibition and make it unsuccess-
full.

CENSURE THE GOVERNMENT
Prohibition Organizations of Can
ada are Consolidating Their
Forces

County organizations OF the Ontario
Prohibition Union are consolidating their
forces and even at Windsor there is a
strong support being built up by the tenn
perance people. The Dominion govern
ment was strongly criticised at an organi-
cation meeting of the Prohibition Union
at Windsor, the other evening, for its
stand on the export of liquor and the
ontario government was also cenSured
because of the failure of the Liquor Con-
troll Act. The following resolution was
passed unanimously and will be for
Warded to the government heads:
That this convention declares that
the so-called government control of
liquor has not fulfilled the promises
Of its advocates in reducing the evils
Of intemperance. On the contrary, it
has greatly increased the amount of
liquor consumed, has invaded the
home life, and by providing eaiser
facilities for obtaining liquor has in
creased the temptations of the young.
We deplore the conditions existing
along the border, owing to activities
of the rum-runners and that Cana
dian soil is being made the base by
lawless elements for the violation of
the laws of friendly nation
We believe that the Dominion Gov
eminent is worthy of severe censure
for its persistence in issuing clearance
papers to vessels engaged in this evil
trade, and that the Opposition in the
House of Commons is equally culpa-
BILE in it's failure to champion the
cause of international good will and
courtesy.
We further suggest that every YES
sci, large or small, landing at Cana
dian ports on the American border be
searched carefully for firearms and
that when such are found they be
seized, and that no vessel be allowed
to clear with such on board

GETTING DRIER AND DRIER
So Says Clifford Pinchot of Congress
and the Country


Clifford Pinchot, former Governor of
Pennsylvania, is on a trip to the South
Sea Islands, and in talking to news
service correspondent, declared the
Eighteenth Amendment will never be re-
pealed, and that Congress is becoming
drier and drier. Further, he asserted that
even the cities are becoming drier with
each succeeding year.
No man has kept more closely in touch
with the history of the dry law than
Pinchot, and he generally tells what he
thinks, no matter if his views do not CO.
incide with other members of his po-
litical party. In his latest interview he
said he sincerely hopes that Hoover will
see that they dry law is enforced, and
added, Mr. Coolidge did not try very
hard, and evidently Mr.. Harding did not
care"

BELGIUM DRY LAWS
TO REMAIN

A Belgium governmental commission in
stituted with a view to revising the pro-
hibition act which has been effective since
1921 has decided in favor of maintenance
of the present regulations prohibiting the
consumption of liquor by the glass in
public bars, hotels and restaurants, says a
Brussels A. P. dispatch of July 10.
Prohibition of pharmaceutic products
containing alcohol as suggested by pro-
hibitionists was rejected unanimously.
The present regulation allowing the sale
of alcoholic beverages in minimum of
two quarts by specially licensed mer-
chants will be revised to allow the sale OF
one-quart minimum.

1T MAKES A DIFFERENCE

A United States marshal in Kentucky
was killed the other day, and his son ser
iously wounded when the dry raiding
party was ambushed. The leader of the
liquor gang was badly wounded. The fact
that it was United States marshal who
was killed and not bootlegger caused a
number of wet newspapers to bury the
news of the shooting in an obscure column
on an inside page.

PROHIBITION AND
AUTOMOBILES

The United States is dry. Eng
land is wet VETS compare. the two
countries but try to make it appear
that in every way England has the
advantage. But what about deaths
from automobiles? If fatal auto
mobile accidents in the United
States had been as numerous as in
Great Britain in proportion to the
number of cars on the highways, we
would have had 209 CAT deaths in the
United States instead of 21,I60.
Prohibition saved the lives of 1884,
487 persons in fatal automobile ac-
cidents alone.

TO MEET IN OHIO

Mrs. Sabin, of New York, head of
league of wet women and working with
the Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment for the overthrow of the pro-
hibition policy, has called a national con-
vention of her wet cohorts to meet in
the state of Ohio this fall The only rea-
son given to the public for holding the
meeting in Ohio is that this state is the
home of the Anti-Saloon League and the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union.

BARS LIQUOR "ADS"

The new labor government of England
is starting out we'll It has decided that
liquor advertisements shall be excluded
from post Office buildings and government
publications as soon as provisions of ex-
listing contracts permit. The revenue
which the government received from such
advertisements is about $4,000 annually.

EVEN VETS Baked

While the Wisconsin Legislature last
spring repealed the dry code of the state
and thereby withdrew help from the Fed
eral government in the enforcement of the
prohibition law, the State Senate has re-
fused, by vote of II to 8, to submit the
question of amending the Constitution so
that the state could make and sell liquor.

ANOTHER INSTANCE

Upton Sinclair, the well-known writer,
expresses his regret to Paris newspaper
that the editor seems to have been n1isled
by erroneous reports as to the operation
of prohibition in America. MIR. Sinclair
quotes the remark by the chief of police
of the city of Denver, which sums up the
situation perfectly. The chief said: THE
stuff comes In now in Ford automobiles

By United Press
CHICAGO, Sept. l1.-Weather in
the Argentine, which continued cool
without any precipitation last night,
and the stronger foreign cables gave
wheat an opening stimulus on the
Chicago Coard of Trade today and
prices advanced sharply.
Corn and oats followed the adj
vance Of the major grain. Provisions
we're little changed.
AS the market opened, wheat was
q cent to Ia cents higher, corn was
up 4 cent to l cent and oats we're
Is cent to g cent stronger.
Argentina news is the main factor
in wheat and at present traders here
are watching it carefully. Wheat
closed Us cents higher than
Wednesday and fax took a spec
tacular drive upward of 2912 cents
Liverpool followed the Buenos
Aires advance today and was con-
siderably stronger The continu-
alton of the drought in Australia is
also having a telling effect on the
British market Some traders here
believe. that the bearish news on
the North American surplus is all
out at the present time and are
watching developments in the south
ern hemisphere. No early reports
came of export last night.
There was some dissatisfaction
shown in the fact that corn failed
to meet as great an advance as was
anticipated Wednesday, but the
trade in majority seemed to be con-
tent with taking profits on the up
turn.
Rains fell last night in Missouri
and Kansas, but whether they will
be beneficial, with frost not far
away, is a question, according TO
commission house reports.
Oats showed much firmnes5 yes
terday and it is expected that prices
will hold again today.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Generally
leaking. news developments are
mewhat moro favorable. The de-
sion of the Bank of England to
ave its rediscount rate unchanged
reassuring in its immediate effect
thile at home we find huge over
description to the latest govern
nent financial plan, which comedies
with the very logical views on the
the credit question by the president
of the New York Stock Exchange.
The advance in time rates, however,
% the highest level of the year is
an element that can not be over
looked when considering the outlook
for the more distant future and it
is this which should be constantly
borne in mind as We approach the
mid-month tax payment period.
Other than the credit question there
is nothing in the routine news that
is at all disconcerting. The infor-
nation of new investment trusts al
most daily precludes, we believe, the
probability at this time f pro-
tracted decline in the general mar
ket, but we are inclined to look for
irregularity to increase until the
money situation improves.
