THAT is the issue which your gen.
Grafton must decide" he said. 'The
prohibition question Is largely one of
reforming evils in our Government"
More unhappiness has been brought
into American homes by the LIQUOR
traffic than from any other source" he
declared, but added that national pro-
nibition had not solved the problem.
The prohibition law is an indirect
law: Its intent Is to stop drinking, but
it does not prohibit either buying CT
drinking liquor. It merely makes It
difficult by prohibiting manufacture
and sale. Any indirect law on what
ever subject is open to question"
DR.. Ernest H. Cherrington, national
prohibition leader, will address the class

William II. l"Alfalfa Bill'O Murray, as
Governor of Oklahoma, has defied
legal effort to open the flush oil fields
which he shut down under a martial
law order August 5, but has opened the
way for retreat as a citizen.
With foes of the martial law regime
seeking a Federal Court injunction to
restore production, Gov. Murray reit-
Grated last night his belief that the
State is above the power of the in

plain that all the mechanics and
even the day laborers are being
imported from North Carolina.
