CRUSADERS CRITICIZED
Says Object of the Organization of
VETS is Return of the Saloon

Billboard advertising against prohibi-
ton by the Crusaders, the organization of
wealthy young men, has drawn severe
criticism from the Rev. DR.. Boynton, pas
tor of Wcodlswn Baptist church. one of
the leading clergynen Of Chicago DR..
Boynton said from the pulpit:
'"These modern Crusaders we're out not
to find better things, but to recover the
beer mug and to reopen the ill-smelling
saloon, to reestablish the sordid beer gar
den, to bring back the vicious dance halls
and all the other by-products of the bev-
erage liquor trade.
There is no doubt that If the Eight
zenith Amendment were repealed, the i'm
mediate result would be their return of the
saloon with all its degradation and social
ruin he declared.
"But this Is not the real objective of the
rich men in the east who are financing
the assaults on the Eighteenth Amend
ment." DR.. Boynton said: they are hop
ing to reestablish the liquor trade with a
heavy tax upon every beer mug, which
they hope will take the place Of the in
come tax and other levies on business
thus shifting the burden of taxation from
wealth and prosperous business, that are
amply able to pay it back on the poor,
the drunken and degraded"

THEY ARE CONSPIR-
ATODc
ATORS

Members of the wet bloc in con-
gress by their confession are guilty
of conspiring against the govern
ment. An unofficial committee act
ing for wet members has decided to
push to a vote the question of
adopting one of the numerous beer
bills now pending to fight the gov
eminent poisoning industrial alco-
hol, and to map out plans against
all appropriations for enforcement
of the prohibition law. If the effort
is made to Starve the government
into submission to the will of the
vets, backed by the brewers, what
else would such a course be but
conspiracy against the government?
And for that crime men are sent to
prison.

FEDERAL JUDGE SAYS
That Manufacture or Possession of
Any Alcoholic Beverage in the
Home is Violation of Law

United States Judge Alderman, OF
Tampa, Florida, rules that the manufac-
ture or possession of any alcoholic bever-
age in q home constitutes violation OF
the national prohibition law The ruling
was made in the trial of a man arrested
by federal agents for possession of home
brew In making his decision, Judge Aker-
man said:
ST do not think any man has the right
to start brewery in his home. It is my
belief that possession applies to all per-
sons, whether they intend to sell liquor
or use it themselves. The man who makes
home-brew or any other alcoholic drinks
in his home for private use is no more
exempt from punishment in federal court
than the ordinary bootlegger."

THE SCHEME WILL FAIL

Bear in mind it IS the strategy of
the vets to repeal enforcement laws
in as many states as possible. They
have succeeded in New York, Wis
consin, Montana, Nevada and Mas
Sachusetts. They Will try to repeal
Ohio's dry law and make this a null
lidcation state. To do this, money
will be poured into Ohio and every
trick will be turned to place the
state in the list of those which will
not cooperate with the federal gov
eminent in the enforcement of the
Eighteenth Amendment. Their I'M
American scheme must and will
fail.

A GOOD PLAN

The annual meeting of the National w.
C. T. u. at Houston, Texas, decided not
to hold a national convention next year,
but will meet in Seattle in 1882. However,
the women will plan to hold twenty re-
gional conventions next year, in prepara-
ton for the big campaign in 1892 Like
the Anti-Saloon League, the w C. II. U.
will devote 1881 to the work Of organiZa-
ton and education and local conferences
and conventions will keep dry women as
well as men busy.

QUITE A TRANSFORMATION

The Willard Inn for Girls at Spring.
field, Missouri was transformed from a
hotel that was padlocked under federal
dsapproval for dry law violations into an
attractive, safe and lawabiding home for
girls under the W. G. T. U. During the
past year 217 girls, most of them students
from colleges and most of them from
other states, were guests at the Inn, ac-
cording to Mds. Burger, president of the
Missouri w. G. T. n. The place Is in
marked contrast to the illegal conditions
prevailing in the building when it was
formerly a hotel.

TIMELY TOPICS
IF. G.. McCAULEY)

The enemies of prohibition are worried
because the preachers and the churches
are fighting for prohibition. What should
they expect? The business Of the church
is to save people and society, and they
realize that the drink habit is deadly
foe to both, and If they do not fight tooth
and nail, society viii be lost and they will
be rccreant to their duty. The preachers
feel that God and the best interests of
humanity are on their side, and so they

The junk dealers picked up the wrecks OF
both cars. They also gathered up the big
pieces of what was left of Bill. So much

Bill desired expression and freedom.
"What right has the public to interfere
with a fellows freedom? You can't make
a fellow good by law. No Stree" So Bill
got an eight-cylinder high-powered car,
filled it with water and gas, and filled his
stomach with bootleg whisky He started
down the pike. The law said keep to the
right, the law said is miles per hour is
the speed limit. Bill said, "Who cares, you
cannot make fellow good by law. Let's
go" So down the pike Bill fed, right side,
left side, both sides, all sides. The water
boiled in the radiator. He stepped on the
gas. who cares, you can't make fellow
good by law. You can't invade my personal
rights Get out of the way" And the
eight-cylinder made eighty miles an hour
and met another car driven at sixty miles
an hour. Bill said, "Se me hit her. Get
out of the way" Bill hit the other car.

In the eastern states especially. the pro-
hibition question and the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment are live issues. In
the ranks of those who are fighting for
repeal are many women. This is abnormal.
But if repeal should carry, how these
mothers who worked for repeal will re-
joice over drunken husbands, besotted
and drunken sons, and perhaps drunken
daughters. The liquor habit has no favor
ties and knows no pity.

DRY FOE SIZES
WET GAINS

Prediction was made today by
Henry H. Curran. president Of
the Association Against the Pro
hibition Amendment, which has
launched a new and intensive
campaign against the dry laws.
that the voters will vigorously
express their sentiment for re-
peal Of the Eighteenth Amend
ment on election day, Novem-
ber 4.
Anticipating noteworthy gains
in Congress and a wet sweep in
various States. Mr.. Curran said:
"It Is q startling step ahead
in the fight against the dry
laws that political parties in
1S Of the 48 States 90 ON rec
ord for outright repeal, refer
enda on the question, or de-
manding States rights.
Equally encouraging is the
fact that i'm only IL States
were enforcement pIanks adOpt-
ed. Seven additional states
found IL prudent to ignore the
question altogether in their
platforms"
