persons on capsized ferry, in the
river at Libby The present bridge had
not yet been built at that time and

Prohibition Not Way to
Temperance, View of
State Leader.
BY JAMES DOSS
Times staff Writer

Mrs. Sylvester Johnson Jr., 1868
Central avenue, was prompted by
number of reasons when she started
devoting great deal of time and
energy to prohibition repeal and far
from the least of them are the three
with whom she is pictured.
Mrs. Johnson is chairman of the
Indiana unit of the Women's Or
ganization for National Prohibition
Reform. She is a delegate to the
prohibition repeal election next
Tuesday when Indiana will decide
whether it is to be the tenth state
to ratify the twenty-first amend
ment which will repeal the federal
dry law.
Prohibition has created more law
viOlators, more disrespect for law
and order than any other single
piece of legislation in the history of
the United States, thereby creating
a general disrespect for law which
is becoming more and more preva-
lent" Mrs. Johnson asserts.
Voices Mothers Sentiments
Children are taught that they
must obey all laws that are for the
greatest good Of the greatest num-
Der, but the general notification of
the prohibition law has broken down
the respect for our constitution
which should be inStilled in every
child"
Thus does she voice the sentiments
of hundreds of mothers.
The dry organizations started
out with an inspiring goal in view
the goal of temperance-and were
making tangible strides in its direc-
ton until the eighteenth amend
ment was substituted for the teach
ing of temperance.
Real temperance is not an OBJ
jective impossible of realization, but
the road to it is along educational
lines and not by legislation.
Il believe sincerely. and I hope
that other mothers will face this is
sue and decide likewise, that the
cause of temperance best can be
served through repeal of what we
should realize, by this time. is a
futile attempt to legislate the NOR
ais or habits of the American
people"
