Listing what prohibition has complished, he named the following It has eliminated 170,000 legalized loons; has reduced consumption of li: quor 70 per cent in 10 years; has closed 38 out of 50 Keely cures and 60 out of 60 Neal cures for inebriates; increased high school attendance by} 3,000,000 students; reduced the num-j; ber of children brought to the Child} Weifare association by 60 per cent} ‘and reduced the number who pass! through the juvenile courts by 70 per cent; increased savings deposits and milk and ice cream consumption. He said prohibition has industry, | science, finance, the home, _school,! church, and motherhood on its side. Amendment ‘Unrepealable’ In his afternoon address Dr. Land- rith spoke on prohibition as an un- repealable law and in the evening he discussed the duty and methods of en- forcement. “An American may oppose the pass- age of @ constitutional amendment,” he said, “but only an anarchist fights the constitution itself.” He said that efforts toward nullifi- cation or repeal of the amendment have been balked by the U.S. Su- preme Court in about 40 direct and indirect decisions. Congress submitted the amendment to the legislators by a vote of 374 to 148, “In the 46 states that voted for the amendment, 5,084 legislators vot- ed dry and only 1,263 wet, or 79 per cent for ratification,” he said “These dry voting states had 98 per cent of the population of the United States and 99% per cent of its area.” Previously, he said, 33 states had state-wide prohibition, covering more than 87 per cent of the area and 60 per cent of the population. He de- nied that prohibition has caused pov- erty, and said the prosperity of these 33 states before national prohibition Proved his contention. He pointed out that the women had not been given the right to vote when prohibition was passed and said that it is a men’s amendment. He called attention to the fact that prohibition requires only 13 dry states to defeat eny attempt at repeal. Flays Wet Press Landrith flayed the wet press and the buyer of liquor as well as the bootlegger. He said three-fourths of the boot- leggers in America are “foreigners” and pointed out that the Jones “five | and 10” law was drawn to provide for deportation of these “undesirables.” “If all the legislative bodies, courts, public officers, and individuals would merely obey the law,” he said in clos- ing his afternoon address, “and if these officers, judges, and legislators under false pretenses, there would be no prohibition issue and America would be so dry the Sahara would look like a watering place.” The first nine years of prohibition covered a period of America’s greatest prosperity, he said. “It would appear that wet lawlessness and not prohi- bition is responsible for the financial depression,” he said. He said that the rest of the “liquor-soaked” world is suffering more than the United States from the economic depression. He denied that repeal of prohibi- tion would increase employment and government revenue to the extent that brewers are claiming. He said that if the brewers’ claims were true, more men would be employed and more liquor brewed than before pro- hibition was established. He said repeal would not help the farmer, and delared that barley, 32 per cent of which went for brewing, was the only crop used substantially by brewers. All other grains, he said, contributed less than two per cent of the total toward brewing. Begs People to Vote He pleaded for integrity at the bal- lot box and begged all of the people to vote. “Fifty per cent of the Amer- ican people do not vote,” he said, “and 90 per cent of the half that doesn’t vote would vote right if they should vote at all.” social fraternity life while he attended college, he saw “not one hip flask” carried by students. He charged that most of the hip flasks being carried today are in possession of “the 400” groups’ in our large eastern cities. He called attention to the fact that Al Capone and his henchmen were “booed out of the stadium before the end of the third quarter” when they attended the Northwestern-Nebraska football game Saturday. He said stu- dents will not tolerate a man like Capone. He denied that young people, as charged by opponents of prohibition, are “going to the dogs, becoming cynical and immoral.” ‘Walter Maddock presided at the af- ternoon session and Rev. E. L. Jack- son delivered the invocation while At- torney General James Morris presid- ed in the evening and Rev. O. 8. Rin- dahl delivered the invoation. At the opening of both sessions, the audience sang patriotic and religious songs. During the programs, members of the audience made money pledges to help carry on the work of the Allied Campaigners. —— a4 {” Stickler Solution DVUMUNN >» DAMM vpyn mn>rO>oy PONDONN o00ruMm I. 2. 3. 4, 5. 6. 7 3. 9 The nine steps in the word building puzzle from “A” to “PREACHERS' are shown above.
