By the Associated Press. | DES MOINES, Iows, May 27.—How- ard Hyde Russell, founder of the Anti- | Baloon League of America, today issued | the following statement concerning the | decision of the United States Supreme | Court holding that the purchase of | liquor is not iliegal. | “While the buyer is often worse thar | the seller, the deciston is no surprise to | me nor to attorneys of our league. Soon after the organization of the Ohio Anti-Saloon League, in 1893, the Liquor | League of that State introduced a bill | in the Ohio Legislature to make minor boys who were found in the saloons | equally guilty with the saloonkeepers, | who were forbidden under severe pen- | alty to permit them to be present. | “Wayne B. Wheeler and I agreed that the purpose of the liquor dealers was to | prevent the boys from testifying against | them. We opposed and prevented the passage of that bill “Wheeler always held the same view in similar questions, and when he drew the first draft of the Volstead law he followed that principle and exempted the buyer. Mr. Volstead and Congress evidently took the same view of the question. “There is a difference of view among | the friends of prohibition. I agree with the attitude suggested in the decision | {tself, that it is ‘more important to pre- | serve the complete freedom of the pur- | chaser to testify against the seller than to punish him for making the pur-; chase.’ “The Anti-Saloon League will urge more strongly than ever the President's appeal to all citizens from this encour- agement of lawbreaking. Already prog- ress is being made in public scorn of the rich who by back-door folly invite front-door robbery and murder.” U. S.
