GLENDALE NEWS
WRITER SPEAKS
ON PROHIBITION
Button Factory At Ellen
dale To Be Closed For
Two Weeks.

GLENDALE, July 4-The news
from New Jersey will not be wei.
coined by those who are in favor oil
the enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment othe Constitution.
The overwhelming victory OF Am
bassador Morrow over ex-senator
Frelinghuysen and Congressman
Fort seems to indicate that the peo-
nle of New Jersey at least are tlreu
of the way the Volstead Act is being
enforced, and are looking for some
other means to bring about sucn
legislation as the people will sup
mort. and carry to a conclusion.
Perhaps the people of the Unlteu
States were not ready for such sCrlh-
gent laws, as the prohibition forces
have had passed by Congress. Al
least those who are engaged in the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liouor seem to ply their trade with
very little hindrance on the part OF
the officers of the law, who are sup
nosed to be paid by both govern
ment and state to suppress all those
who Sre engaged in this unlaWlui
traffic.
It is true that they are able to
round up few who are engaged III
the bootleg trade, but while they
catch only a few-thousands pursue
their nefarious calling without Delhs
molested whatever.
Those who are engaged in the
/ chean manufacture of ardent spirits
| are responsible to great extent TOT
the many drunken drivers who trav-
erse our roads and the many accl-
dents which happen almost daily are
traceable to the intoxicating condl-
tion of those who are allowed drl-
ver's license on the payment of three
dollars, to the Secretary of State.
1t is true they often catch those drl-
vers who disobey the law which for
bids any person undertaking 10
drive a car while in an intoxicating
condition-but instead of getting
better the conditions are constantly
growing worse.
It is not safe today for lady TO
drive a car over our highways
alone. for fear of being insulted, car
damaged or bodily injury received
by coming in contact with those
drunken drivers who are constantly
to be met almost daily.
Drunkedness seems to be on INC
increase and unless other means are
found to enforce the laws now Oh
the statute books, the people all ov'
er the United States will speak II
the same tone as the people OF New
Jersey have already done.
There is something wrong some
where. 1t may be the people are
changing their views about the
, whole matter.
Ten years seems to be a Ions
, enough time to make some improve
/ ment but matters seem to grow
worse.
What means can be pursued tina
! will remedy the matter the writer il
unable to say.
E We have always advocated the tea
, ching in all schools, public. paroch
ial or private, of the harmful eHec
that alcohol has on the human sys
tenn; teach it daily and raise up Sc
f of women and men who will abho
the stuff for the injury which !
, does. This will solve the matter.
:, Others may believe different bu
o we must see some signs of improve
a ment before believing.
