FACTS REFUTE wet PROPAGANDA ABOUT
STUDENT DRINKING
BY REV. A1MER M. PENN1NGwE1L


IN answer to the oft-repeated charge OF the vets
that the young people of the country are going TO
the "boW- vows" in the use of liquor, high school
coach told that he had coached for ten years IN
Chicago high schools and had not had occasion TO
discipline more than three or four students &C
count of liquor.
The principal of one of the largest high schools in
Chicago told me in answer to my question, us drink
ing liquor by your students any part Of your problem
Of social control?"-We have absolutely no cases III
VolVing students in liquor drinking"
In answer to the same question the principal of
the Evanston high school told me that they had not
had in three years single instance known to them
of liquor drinking in connection with any school,
social or athletic affair.
I put the same question to the dean of men at
Northwestern university and he said that the mat
ter of liquor drinking is the most insignificant part
of our problem of student control He illustrated by
saying that at the annual junor-Senior dance, in
volving a thousand or more Students they had re-
ported two three individuals who gave evidence of
having used liquor, only of which being trouble

following the winning of the football championship
which was in turn followed with celebration of two
dances at downtown hotels on Saturday night, pa
rade of automobiles loaded with students to the city
on Monday gathering of five thousand students at
a city theater, bonfire the campus attended by
twelve fifteen thousand people, celebration fol-
lowing at Davis street, and a theater celebration
with four or five thousand students present. In all

A DIABOLICAL CONSPIRACY

The enactment of the bills pending in the house
and senate at Springfield to repeal the Illinois pro
hibiton act and the search and seizure law would
leave Illinois virtually helpless before the laWless
liquor traffic. It's proponents do not deny this. In
fact they frankly admitted it on the floor OF the leg
islature at the hearing the OGrady bill This is
the aVowed purpose of the proponents Of repeal
But repeal could not affect the legality of proh-
bition. The Eighteenth Amendment prohibits the
manufacture transportation, and sale of ntoXicat-
ing liquor for beverage purposes 1t will remain the
supreme law of the land, and hence the law IN Hi
noiS regardless of what the Illinois legislature may
do Those who want the prohibition amendment Vio
lated desire repeal of the state prohibition laws so
that law vioators cannot be effectively apprehended
and brought to justice. 1t is their purpose to en-
courage a widespread disregard of the Eighteenth
Amendment and it's enforcement legislation. As one
of their leading spokesman summed it up I'VE want
the federal government to get out OF Illinois SO far
as prohibition enforcement is concerned we want
the state prohibition laws repealed then can set
up our own method of dealing with the liquor traf-
fic" Unadulterated anarchy Nothing else!
They are in accord with the policy of Vanity Fair,
which not a great while ago said Il should like to
call on every free thinking American, who think
at ALL to break this law break it repeatedly; break
it wherever he can. Drink what you please, when
YOU please Urge others to drink. Don't betray the
bootleggerS who are smuggling liquor for you. In
every possible way faunt your defiance of the Eight
zenith Amendment. Render it imperative ignore it,
abrogate it, wipe it out. Whilst it stands let it be
dsobeyed"
And this effort to repeal our state enforcement
laws is in perfect harmony with a statement of
prominent wet official of Washington to group of
men, some of whom were members of congress. Adj
dressing the group, some of whom were dry, he sad

I'VE are going to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment.
We have got the money, al we want; if we need
more it is available st any time We've got the or
ganization and now we've got the character II our
program we are not going to scatter our strength
but TO concentrate our men, our money and influ-
ence on each individual state after the other to
get them TO repeal their state enforcement laws.
When this is accomplished the defiance of the law
will become SO great that people will become dis
gusted, discouraged and surrender"
There you have it in nutshell.
Shall Illinois become party to such diabolical
program?
II you have not already done So write your senator
at once to vote against repeal of the state prohbi
ton laws.

Yduals troublesome.
This with my own rather wide observation among
young people conyinceS me that the vets are wa1l-
tonly impeaching the character of American youth.

TOrrington State Central Committeeman Did YeOman Work During Last Election and Reward Is Appar- ent-POpuar Throughout Valley
Especial To DenOcrat)

Naugatuck, Jan 8-LOca1 demo- crats are keenly interested in the re- port current in state democratic cir cles that State Central Committed man John Heffernan of Torrington is slated for the office of Superintend- ent of State police, to succeed Sup crintendent Robert T. Hurley. It is reported that the Torrington man stands an excellent chance of the appointment.
 Jack" as he is familiarly known in the valley as well as in his home section, Litchfield county. has count less friends in this end of New Ha- ven County and is well known in all sections of the state. He is a mem- Der of the democratic state central committee from the 31st senatorial district and considered one of the most active democrats in Litchfield County.
 Tn a great measure, the inroads made by the democrats in the coun- ty in the November election, are at- tributed to the untiring work done by State Central Committeeman n Heffernan in his end of the county. The last state election was the first time that Torrington returned a democratic majority in thirty years at a state election. Through his ef- fcrts, outstanding candidates for of flee were named in his territory with the result that the strong republican vote of the district was greatly cut.
 Committeeman Heffernan is highly thought of in this section.

United States
 Federal Bench
Place Secure for Attorney
 Carroll C. HinCkS

Attorney Carroll C. Hincks of this city has been approved for a place on the federal bench in Connecticut by the special subcommittee of the judiciary committee of the United States senate. Next Monday Senator Hastings of Delaware, chairman of the sub-group, will make a favorable report on Attorney Hincks to the en- tire committee and it is expected that his formal ratification will fol- low.
 The formal ratification of Attorney Hincks' appointment to the federal bench by President Hoover has been held up for slime time but it is ex- pected that the vacancy caused by the resignation of States Attorney General Warren Burrows will be a thing of the past next week.
 On the subcommittee with Sena- tor Hastings are Senators Hebert of Rhode Island and Ashurst of Arizo- na. Yesterday they agreed that there is nothing to argue against the con- firmation of Attorney Hincks.
 Senator Hastings stated that the protest voiced by Attorney Cornelius Danaher of Meriden meant nothing to him. He said he could see no criticusm in the approval of Attor- ney Hincks by a state bar associa- tion committee, even if this com- mittee did consist of three democrats and only two republicans.

Heffernan not only work ed untiringly for the election of Judge Gormley but also gave much valu- able assistance to the local man in receiving the nomination for con- gress. For many years he has been ar untiring worker for the party. He also did noble work in his district when ex-Congressman P. E. O'Sul- livan was elected to congress from the fifth district
 He has always been content to re- main in the background, expending his efforts and. energy on behalf of other candidates, and if the reports current, which seem to be well found ed are true, the party leaders are to recognize his work.
 Members of the party in this sec ton of the district are exceptionally pleased with the report. When Judge Martin l.. Gormley was asked about the rumor, he stated that he had heard MT Heffernan's name mention ed. He added that nothing would give him more pleasure than to see

HEFFERNAN LOOMS AS HURLEY'S SUCCESSOR
Contribution
 to Milk Fund
Came All the Way From
 Phoenix, Arizona

The worth of the local milk fund is very evident when it is considered that former residents living in the far west take enough interest in it to send a contribution to the health office to be applied to the fund.
 Mrs Perry Warner. who formerly resided in this city, but who is now living in Phoenix, Ariz., sent a check to the health office in the name of the Phoenix Country club. The amount was $25 which makes the to- tai to date $3891.
 The fund is growing very slowly, this being the first donation received in about two weeks. It is hoped to get about $7000 to make the fund able to support the work until the end of June.

Under the caption "Coogan Gets Satisfaction" the Journal-Courier of New Haven carries the following articles which is of interest to many Waterbury people, where Mir CoOg- an was born and has wide circle of friends.
 "A judgment which will probably i've him much more personal satis- action than it did monetary dam ages was awarded to Joseph r.. Coogan of 15G1 Whitney avenue. Hamden, against Deputy Sheriff John l.. Gray, Jr. of Waterbury, by jury in the civil common pleas court yesterday The jury returned a verdict of $8 in Coogan's assault suit against the deputy sheriff.
 ''The trouble started on Novem- Der '. Gray went to Coogan's home in Whitney avenue to attach q car. as part of the proceedings in a civ:l action against Mrs Coogan. The car was registered in MT Coogan's name.
 According to Coogan. Gray went directly to the garage in the rear Of the Coogan home. and started to 'ake the car away. Coogan rushed rom his house, and, not knowing who Gray was. grappled with the
 hcriff. Coogan testified that he re . 'cived two solid blows on his face turing the struggle.
 Still uncognizant of the sheriff < Identity, Coogan called one of the Hamden policemen, to have Gray arrested Through some miXuT COogan himself was arrested and charged with assaulting the sheriff He was fined in the Hamden town court, but was freed by the com mon pleas court when he appealed the case.
 "CoOgan then brought suit through his attorneys FitzGerald X Hadden asking s2,000 damages from Gray for the assault. He said ycster- day that he was perfectly satisfied with the jury's verdict, as it gives him great personal satisfaction to be proven in the right. Andrew Daw- son of Waterbury represented Gray"
