feel that last years tariff adjust

the soaring youth statistics have

Dear Friends:
Outside this morning the tenn

DAYS lately. Yesterday it was so
nice that we drove over to Law
renee for church.
Lawrence is a college town. 80
miles east of here. The Indian Uni
versity Of Haskell is there as well
as the University Of Kansas. When
we returned home after drug
store lunch we turned on television
to find that some Of Lawrence his
tory was being told in good Sun
day afternoon TV movie. Much OF
the story centered around Guam
trill and his band of men who dur
ing the Civil War days robbed peo-
pie Of every possession they could
get their hands on. During their
guerilla escapes. they raided Law
renee and slaughtered over $50 of
its inhabitants.
The story showed Quantriu mar
ried and living with his wife in
Lawrence and there he was killed.
Lawrence has so much history, and
I thought. the next time we go over
we'll have to see where his house
stood or stands, but my encyl0-
pedia says QuantrilI was wounded
in a ''plundering foray'' in Ken
tucky and died a month later in
prison.

Washington Letter : BY Robert Nelson TaYlor

Moderation Wanted-TwO To One
When you watch the man on your
'TV screen pour himself a foaming
beaker of beer, admire it, and then
set it down-have you ever asked,
why doesn't he drink it?" There
a significant reason.
It's because the brewers them
selves decided some time ago that
pictures showing people actually
drinking beer might conceivably be
offensive to those who object to
this beverage of moderation" But,
despite the joint efforts of the in
dustry to maintain, through the
United States Brewers Foundation,
high standards of good taste and
ethics in advertising, those who
seek to repeal Repeal would bar
the brewers from advertising en-
tirely.
In support of the brewers view
point, the ghost of Thomas Jeffer-
son rose up at hearings of the
House Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee the other day, to
remind the congressman that beer
is a moderate beverage. Jefferson
ii was recalled, encouraged the
brewing of beer in this country as
part of his plan to encourage
sobriety among the citizens of the
new nation. Today, according to
the Foundation, the foaming brew
is poured and served and enjoyed
in no less than twO-thirds of the
nations homes.
Testifying in opposition to the
Siler Bill, which would ban al
beer advertising, the Foundation
declared that the proposed legis-
lation violates no less than three
amendments to the Constitution
Cited were the 1st Amendment
guaranteeing freedom of speech and
the press, the 5th Amendment, pro-
hibiting discrimination and the 21st
mendment-which is what we
went through to get rid of the night
mare of prohibition. Further, the
bill was described as part and
parcel of campaign to impose
prohibition again upon the people
Of the United States"
The Siler Bill should remind
Americans once more of what they
learned so painfully, in fact so
murderously, years ago-that pro-
hibition is not temperance. The
misguided proponents of the bill
should, as the Foundation says,
Direct their efforts toward moder-
alton rather than prohibition" And
