PROPHET OF A NEW ORDER

Req. J. w. Claudy, D. d.. General Board
OF Christian Education OF the PreSbyte-
rian Church an the United States OF
America:
Neal Dow was the prophet of new or
der; he was the crusader against an
ancient evil, the forerunner of better
day, the flaming messenger or righteous
ness, an orator of brilliant gifts, one of
the emancipators of the American nation
from the shackles of the commercialized
liquor traffic, a man whose memory
should be honored as the earliest and
most fearless champion of prohibition
Those of us who enjoy the benefits OF
prohibition in this era of our national
history can truly say of him with that
greatest of all prophets, Herein is that
saying true one soweth and another

COMMANDS HIGHEST ADMIRATION

E. NJ. Holton, Executive Secretary J. c.
Penney, Chain Store Merchant:
Mr.. Penney is travelling abroad and will
not return for some months to come. He
will therefore be unable to give you, per-
sonally. the comment you wish with ref
erence to General Neal Dow.
However, I am sure it would be quite in
order should you wish to publish a state
ment concerning Mr.. Penney's great in
tereSt in prohibition, which as you know
Is exceptionally keen.
In his early days, Mr.. Penney lost a
butcher business which represented all
the money he possessed in the world, be-

IMPRESSED THIS BOY

Fred B. Smith, Chairman Citizens Com
n,ittee OF One Thousand:
1t was my rare privilege as very young
boy to hear the great Neal Dow do not
think could have been more than eight
years old, but the impression made about
prohibition as the ultimate issue for the
saloon was SO vivid that it has lived with
me, during all the years, and has had
much to do with keeping my interest
alive in this great cause.
We have won many a triumph since
Neal Dow began the crusade, and we will
win many more in the years which are
yet to be.

HOW THEY VANISHED

Ten years ago this spring $3.50 saloons
of Ohio closed under statewide prohibit
ton. That number paid the state license
fee that year. This was in 1919. Five and
one-half years before that period in 1913
the number of saloons in Ohio was 8,485
A decrease of 1885 saloons in five and
one-half years was not so bad In July
1893, Ohio had II, TAO saloons and about
as many speakeasies or more than double
as many saloons as in the spring of 1919.

is THIS LAW FAILURE?

The police of Cleveland had 86,O03 cases
in 1923 for traffic violations and II ,335 for
intoxication. Some of the people in
Cleveland want the dry law repealed or
modified because they say it cannot be
enforced, but they are making no demand
for the repeal of the traffic laws although
these laws last year were broken by more
than seven persons to one who was ar
rested for intexication

Ions of whisky, last years withdraw
ais of tax-paid whisky for medicinal
purposes were a little over one per
cent of that amount, or 1,542 ,204 GAL
Ions.
Instead of 1900 breweries annually
making nearly 2O00,000,000 gallons OF
beer, we have around 300 cereal bey.
erage plants making 129,000000 gall
Ions of product that contains no
more than one-half of one per cent
of alcohol by volume.
Instead of an annual production OF
100000 gallons of wine less than
100000 gallons annually are now be-
ing produced
Treaty conventions have been en-
tered into with many foreign nations
in order to better deal with the inter-
national liquor traffic and foreign ma
tons are anxiously watching the sue
cess of the adopted United States
policy that they, too, may move for
ward industrially, economically and
socially under similar legislation
Many superficial observations and as
sertions have been made with respect to
the operation of the prohibition policy
in the United States. In summing up the
net results observable thus far it is we'll
to use great care in properly assessing the
available data and not generalize from
two to three specific facts. Conclusions
drawn from such data carefully compiled
by several WellknoWn analysts are to the
effect that the benefits of national pro-
hibition are real and determinable. En-
tirely outside of the observation of the
economist are the statements of leading
social workers relating to the beneficial
effects of prohibition on the social lives
Of the people The substantial change in
the daily lives of people is matter of
common observation, the final conclusion
being that the effect of this national
policy is most salutary.
Every condition of American life is
steadily increasing its demand for strict
law observance. Amid powerful in
ventions, science, communication, travel,
completely and hurried life of today,
sound bodies, steady nerves and sober
judgments are essential to the building
up of spirit Of law observance. The
duty Of law observance is upon us ALL
The efficacy of the idea born in the
mind Of the father of the Maine Prohibi-
ton law is revealed by the various phases
of advancement in our nation. His fear
lesSness, his readiness to attack a wrong,
his keen sense Of personal responsibility,
his cooperative spirit, might we'll be in
culcated in our own lives, thus paying a
living tribute to a worthy example, as
well as being influential in perfecting the
great work commenced so many years ago
by the Father of Prohibition" General
Neal Dow.

cause ne would not compromise with con-
science and furnish the chef of the lead
ing hotel with a bottle of whisky each
week as bride to secure the hotels bust
ness. He preferred to lose his business
and start all over again rather than COM
promise his convictions. From that day
to this Mr.. Penney has been vitality inter
ested in the matter of temperance and
prohibition.
1t is of course unnecessary to state that
General Neal Dow, as the pioneer apostle
of prohibition, would command Mr.. Pen
ney's highest admiration and respect.

VICTORY DATES BACK TO HIS BIRTH

A. C. Graham, Superintendent Anti
Saloon League of Kentucky:
If it be true that Every event is but
the heightened shadow of single man.
then the great prohibition victories of
these latter days dates back to the be-
ginnings when Neal Dow was born in
Portland, Maine, just century and a
quarter ago, March 20, 1904. and he has
rightly been called the Father of Prohi-
bition."

lowing words of appreciation OF the work OF
A WORLD CITIZEN
Miss Anna A. Gordon, President Worlds
W. c. T. o.:
Neal Dow, the Father of Prohibition"
prominently merits the homage of all
our hearts. While Maine proudly pro-
claims herself the native state of this
renowned defender of the home and the
child, Neal Dow cannot be claimed by
Maine alone, for he became citizen of
the world-a world he ineStimably bright
ened and blessed.
Many times in the radiant long ago, it
was my high privilege to enjoy the hos
pitality of the spacious Portland home of
General Dow and his gifted daughter,
Cornelia, a coadjutor of Mrs. Lillian M.
N Stevens in white ribbon activities and
legislative leadership in the Pine Tree
State. Miss Cornelia was a gracious host
eSs on these memorable visits.
General Dow, then we'll advanced in
years. courtly, handsome and beningant,
was keen in his observations on the prog
ress of the reform dear to his heart. In
reply to Miss Wizards well-directed in
terrogations he entertained us with stories
of his early efforts for the passage of the
Maine Law. We were thrilled by the
human incident which led Neal Dow,
when Mayor of Portland to determine to
drive the legaliZed drink traffic from his
native state. A heartbroken wife coming
to his home under the shadow of the
evening, plead with Mayor Dow to see
certain Saloonkeeper and request him not
to sell her husband any more drink. Gen
eral BOWS face lighted with intense
earnestness as he told of the insolent re-
ply of the barkeeper, who, pointing to his
license said he would continue to sell to
this man or any other who would pay
him for the liquor and did not care to
have the mayor whining around his
legitimate place of business. Mayor Dow
walked out of the saloon with firm de-
cison to change such conditions by max
ing the liquor trade illegal in the entire
state of Maine.
Frances E. Willard was the first to sug-
gest the annual observance of this great
mans birthday, March 20, as "Prohibi-
ton Day." She rightly felt that the re-
markable events connected with the en-
actment of the first state prohibition law
and the notable features of General BOWS
heroic and persistent efforts for its pas
sage should be rehearsed through press,
platform and pulpit especially for the
benefit of the oncoming generations.
During the last week of her early life
Miss Willard repeatedly commissioned me
to urge the national general officers of the
w. C. T. u, the temperance periodicals,
the temperance workers of England Can
ada and our own land to regularly OBJ
serve March 20 as Prohibition Day."
The United States of America honors
its brave pioneers, those daring souls who
on land and sea and in the air, have add
ed to the prestige and prosperity of our
great republic. Neal BOWS name is on
grateful nations Roll of Honor as one
who pioneered for a mighty moral prin-
ciple now securely placed in the bedrock
of the Federal Constitution and some
glad day" to win in all the world.

 But, Red, you funny thing :"
 Funny. There's nothing funny about a man asking girl to marry him, is there? Maybe Newton thinks there is. I guess he thinks guys in my league never ask a girl things like that"

 "Ycah? Well, give him his an- swer now 'olly. Give it to him plenty. dear."
 "Oh, Red, don't talk like that"
