LSON DRY TALK SMSHNSTRUED Temperance Leader Explains Prohibition Remarks at Philadelphia. By the Associated Press. Dr. Clarence True Wilson, executive secretary of the Methodist Board of | Temperance, Prohibition and Public | Morals, said last night that a speech | made Sunday night at Philadelphia | been misinterpreted. | He had been quoted as saying that | prohibition was not designed “to keep you and me from drinking,” which, the quotation added, “is a matter for our | personal tastes to decide.” “I sald,” Dr. Wilson explained last | night, “the private appetite is controlled | by sentiment, judgment, education, | home training, religious standards and by the exercise of moral suasion on | the will. If people are still drinking, | that may not be the fault of prohibition. “It may be the fault of parental ex- ample, lack of home training, lack of | moral suasion in the Sunday schools | and churches, and a failure of the pub- | lic schools in accordance with law to give instructions to the youth in the effect of alcohol, narcotics and opiates | upon the human system. But why blame | roh’ibiflan for our failure all along the | ine? | “Prohibition is the designed remedy of the evils of the public and legalized liquor traffic. Its pu ¢ was to out- law the making and selling of intoxicat- ing liquor. If it stops the distillery, the brewery, closes the saloon, breaks up the power of the liquor traffic in public life, it has succeeded in its purpose. “The temperance reform is a two- handed affair, not one-armed. It has total abstinence for the individual and legal prohibition of the traffic in jors as the duty of civil govern- ment. “If I drink liquor, T have violated the principle of total abstinence, but I have not shown that prohibition is a faflure. If I sell liquor, I have vio- lated prohibition, but I have not proved Mrs. Norton Plans Tour of Country In Dry Law Fight Campaign for Repeal to Be as Nearly Nation- Wide as Possible. By the Associated Press. Asserting her hope for unification and crystallization of the entire woman's anti-prohibition movement, Represent- ative Mary T. Norton, Democrat, New Jersey, vesterday announced her inten- tion of ‘making her personal campaign for repeal of the eighteenth amendment as nearly Nation-wide as possible. When Congress adjourns, Mrs. Nor- ton said, she will cover as much country as her physical condition will permit, arguing against prohibition. “The furore of discussion aroused by the appearance of our group of women wets at the general prohibition hear- ings before the House judiciary com- mittee resulted in many invitations to carry the campaign to the country at large,” said Mrs. Norton. “The time is ripe for a comprehensive, business- like organization on the greatest moral [ THE EVENING STAR issue before the women of the country since lllv!ry-..the repeal of prohibi- jon.” Mrs. Norton added that she wanted some woman dry leader to meet her in a prohibition debate over a Nation-wide | radio hook-up, Both Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt. former Assistant Attorney General, and Mrs, Ella Boole, national president of | the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, were tendered formal invitations to meet her in debate, but refused, Mrs, | Norton said.
