WEALTHY VETS
Clarence True Wilson Tells About
the Activities of Rich
Wet Leaders

In short speech before the Rotary club
of Providence, Rhode Island, few days
ago. DR.. Clarence True Wilson said in
part:
Senate examination or Mr. Henry Cur
ran. head of the Association Against tie
Prohibition Amendment, disclosed that
they are after a mifiion dollars income
this year, but six out of every seven dol
lars of the large sums SO far received TINS
year came from only four states, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Illl-
nois; three out of every four dollars came
from So givers; nearly two out of every
three dollars came from seven men, three
of them brothers and likewise partners in
the same company, and some OF the largest
contributors also belonged to that COM
pany That company has had, and prob
ably will have, literally billions of dollars
of government contracts, and pays mil
lions of dollars of taxes annually. 1 saw
a letter from one of them stating that, If
they could get beer back onto the old
basis as it was before prohibition, it would
save them ten million dollars in taxes
yearly This is a cool proposal to make
the poor mans throat pay the rich mans
taxes The bill is to be transferred to the
pockets of the millions of working men.
"These few rich wet men happen to be
all-poWerful in a few spots, but those
spots are our great cities out of which
come our popular slang, our popular songs,
theatrical gags and our edited news;
so they get special consideration from
these great publicity agencies"
The same examination of this same Mr..
Curran brought out that the wet organi-
cation paid $625 per month to single
supposedly independent non-partisan cor
respondent for nationwide syndicate
supplying news to hundreds of news
papers. Did your local newspaper put
that under scare heads on the front page?
America went to war when the European
nations used to "press" our seamen into
their service. fear, alas, that European
liquor now "Sees" our press.

FOR THE CONSTITUTION
Vice President Curtis Teaches Much
Needed Lesson to New Jersey

In the wet state of New Jersey on the
Fourth of July, Vice President Curtis
made an address in which he called for
reverence and obedience to the constitu-
ton and all its articles and amendments.
1.-The constitution of tho United States"
he asserted, lis the keystone of our ma
tional strength, our pride in the hour of
prosperity, our consolation and rallying
point under every pressure of adversely
and whoever seriously wishes to preserve
our constitution in its full purity and vigor
must of necessity wish to have all its ar
ticles and amendments honestly obeyed
and faithfully enforced.
What we need now more than ever"
the vice president told the assemblage, "is
reverence for the constitution and respect
for the courts of our country. 1t is not
pleasing to notice the wave that is sweep
ing over the country which disregards law
and order and the constitution and sub
stitutes mans desires and Weakens opin-
ion of law.
ITO determine the extent to which leg
islation is beneficial and beyond which it
is hurtful is the province of statesman
ship.
while people may differ as to the wis
dom of enactment of particular piece of
legislation, or as to the amending OF the
constitution in regard thereto, it is impos-
sible to ignore the constitution and un-
thinkable to evade it by an administrative
policy, either national or state"
Curtis also referred to the London ma
val treaty and asserted that conference,
with the Washington naval conference of
1921, the recent evacuation of the Rhine
land, the Kellogg pact and the Locarno
treaty "all point toward permanent
peace"
"That it may come" he added, "is the
passionate and lasting desire of the peo-
pie of the civilized world"

McKendree College, Lebanon.
Cameron Harmon, President.
81 have been a college president for thir-
teen years, and I know that conditions are
infinitely better than they we're in the days
of the open saloon. When man says that
conditions in the colleges are SO bad that
he fears to send his children to college,
feel that someone needs TO check up on his
associates. His experience is absolutely OPP
posite to my observation"

OFF ON WRONG FOOT

The Republican State Convention IN
Washington adopted platform plank de-
manding the modification of the Eight
zenith Amendment. The vote was 456 to
448. The wet plank was directly opposite
to a plank prepared by the platform COM
mittee. United States Senator Wesley
Jones, author of the Jones Law, was Sc
verely criticized by some of the conven-
ton speakers.

linois would be at the absolute mercy of
the bootleggers, blindpiggers and rum
runners.
The second clause of the Eighteenth
Amendment provides that the states shall
have concurrent power to enforce the
amendment This has been held by the
supreme court of the United States to
mean power to further the purpose of the
Eighteenth Amendment and not to thwart
1t.
REFERENDUM SOLELY A WET MOVE
If the dryS should vote on these wet pro-
poSals they would thereby admit that the
Eighteenth Amendment could be nullified
or made ineffective while it is part of the
constitution.
BY voting, drys would admit that the
proposals are proper ones to be settled by
majority vote and they would thereby eX-
press their willingness to abide by the re-
suit. Then, regardless of any statewide
result, the vets would maintain that legiS-
lators and enforcement officials in any
section, district county, or village, were
authorized by the local vote to disregard
the Eighteenth Amendment. If the drys
should accept the proposal and make
campaign, it would be a victory for the
vets, because (a) straw vote could not
strengthen federal and state enforcement,
but would tend to weaken local and sec
tional enforcement; (b) campaign on
the wet proposals would take an infinite
amount of work and moreey needed to sup
port enforcement candidates for congress
and the state legislature and local en-
forcement Offices; Co attention would be
taken from the fight for candidates who
could, if elected, help enforcement of pro-
hibition, and direct it in fight which
holm ont. IN tho
stitution of the United States is the SUI
preme law of the law. Tt cannot be
changed by the vote of any state or any
part of state in any referendum The
referendum proposed would simply put the
question to the voters of whether or not
the constitution should be enforced.
The drys must not lose sight of the fact
that to acquiesce in a referendum such as
is proposed by the Illinois vets is to ac-
cept the proposition that constitutional
provision may be nullified wherever it may
be unpopular. 1t would mean that the
drys are willing to acquiesce in the wet OBJ
jective of notification of the constitution
by taking a step backward to local option.
There is only one sane course for Illinois
drys to take There can be no compromise.
The issue is the maintenance of the Eight
zenith Amendment; the enforcement of
federal and state prohibition laws. Drys
will meet the referendum challenge of the
vets with vigorous campaign for the
election of congressman, state legislators,
and local law enforcement officials who
will support. defend and enforce the con-
stitution and laws of the nation and state;
men who will refuse to surrender to law
lessness. And they will win as they have
in the past if they will stick to that task
and refuse to be led into the shambles by
a noisy minority in the main composed of
two classes: those who covet the oppor-
tunity to again coin money out of the
weaknesses and appetites of their fellow
men, and the thirsty ones whose thoughts
and ideals rise no higher than the froth
on the much craved glass of "beer with
kick in til H. G.

against the Indians might be risky. The
Tribe has a penchant for knocking the
props from under a left-hander in a
jiffy. Lloyd opened fire against the
Tribe in Washington last month, but
pitched only to seven batterS.
Five of the seven got hits, among
