70 THE COLORS!
BY PERCY L. CROSBY


The crime wave that is now
sweeping the United States is
the direct result of the Prohibit.
ton Law, because that law was
born Of dishonesty.
The Anti-Saloonists, in for
mer crisis in 1918, waited until
some two million men were out
of the land before they trapped
the citizens with a scheme that
combined politics with religion,
or, to be explicit, with what
they thought was religion. Then,
using patriotism as a selling
slogan, just as they are now
using, Born of God" for a cam
paign slogan, they sold Prohibi-
tion to the citizens as a war
measure.
The citizens have now been
subjected to religious tyranny
for 10 years, a tyranny that op-
poses every teaching of Jesus
Christ. Ny authority for such
a statement is the Holy Bible,
for the fundamental principles
Of the Christian Masters teach
ings were founded on construc-
tive thought. The keynote of
His teachings can be found in

Bullet Through Head Brings
End at Providence Hos
pitaI at Early Hour Today

Mrs. Elsie Davis, 20, 1900 block
Shannon ri. S. E.. who was shot
down early Friday morning by a
jealous wife, died in Providence
Hospital early today, despite des-
perate efforts to save her.
Brought to the hospital by Jo-
sepIa Gamble; with whom she had
been riding near La Plata in the
early morning hours, Mrs, Davis
clung tenaciously to life, despite
the fact that q bullet from q .45-
caliber pistol had passed through
her brain.
Surrenders 70 Sheriff
Mrs. Lulu May Gamble, the wife,
was arrested after she surrendered
to the sheriff at La Plata after
wandering several hours about the
town, following the shooting.
Later she was released on bond
with the ulldersta ding that she
not leave the vicinitH pending the
outcome Of the girls injuries.
Mrs. Gamble told county avl-
thorities that she had warned the
girl frequently to cease going with
her husband but that In each in
stance she had been laughed at.
When she learned that her hus-
band and Mrs. Davis had gone
riding on Friday night, she said
that she got the weapon and lay
in wait for them.
Wished to Frighten
It was not her intention, Mrs.
Gamble said, to injure the young
woman but rather. to frignten
her. When the car drove up
Mrs. Davis stepped from the right
side only to be met by the roar
of the heavy weapon.
Mrs. Gamble will probably be
formally charged with murder,
county authorities having been
notified Of the death Of Mrs.
Davis.
