DR. BUTLER FLAYS i [8TH AMENDMENT Undes Its Repeal as a Statute of Hypocrisy , New York, April 30.—Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia “men and| women of religious faith, of moral| principle and public spirit,” to strike the eighteenth amendment from tie constitution, at the annual dinner of the Missouri society last night. Thos e said, who persist in supporting this “unenforceahle law” must accept re- sponsivility of being silent partners of tile bootlegger and contributors to the undermining of the government struce | ture. “Senators congress,” chalant] vniversity, appealed to and Dr. representatives in/ Butler said, ‘“non-| for prohibitory legis- lation and quickly betake themselves for refreshment to a drink of alco- holie liquor, Judges scntence men fine and imprisonment for having been detected in doing what other Judges do without deteciion, When- ever you hear a public officer or a candidate for elective oftice cry out with unction for law enforcement, tap him on the hip, such is the pass of bypocrisy, of double-dealing, of cow- ardice, and of public and private im- Pity Neighbors Here's sonivthing new to break the tranquility of our quiet hours.

McADOO FLAYS MONEY Declares Money and Materialism Are Quality | | Causing American Citizen to Disintegrate, Long Beach, Cal., April 30.—Tone and quality of American citizenship | are disintegrating under the growing influence of money and materialism, William G. McAdoo declared in an address last night. “It is the influence of money,” he sald, “which has brought idealism into contempt and exalted material- ism and gain as the right standards of private and natlonal life. Tt is the influence of money that has sterilized righteousness and exalted isolation and selfishness as the policy of lhOI nation.” | Declaring that “republican leader- ship cannot purify the gnvnrnment,l cannot be entrusted with its reforma- | tion,” he eulogized that “Christian democracy under Woodrow Wilson,” which *“stood for world peace, for disarmament, for cooperation between natio and under which “this na- | tion was elevated to new heights of | morality and righteousness.” The return of that progressive | EW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 1924, ASK ORGANIZATIONS - TOENTERTAIN BOYS ‘Boys' Club Makes Unique Request HARTFORD SUBURBAN TELEPHONE SERVICE ] We now have a direct telephone trunk line from New Britain.

Dr. Butler also made an attack on the Aati-Saloon league and on those ~ministers who expressed sympathy for Willlam H. Anderson, the for-| mer Anti-Saloon league superintend- | nt in this state, who is now in prison | for forgery. | . “The reason why the prohibition aw is'mot enforced,” Dr. Butler con- tinued, “is that it cannot be enforced. The reason why it vannot be enforced | is that it ought not to have been| passed. In its attempted foreible in- terference with the food and drink and medicine of the peopie, it is a form of oppression to which a free people will never submit in siience,” Reverting to clergymen who ex- pressed sympathy for Anderson, he #aid: “In what respect do these wminis- ters differe from those hysterical and unbalanced women who shower convicted murderers with flowers and sweetmeats? How dare they stand In a pulpit called Christian and o violate both the practice and teachings of Jesus Christ himsel??” Parallel With Slavery, “There is a close parallel tween siavery and prohibition,” he continued. “Slavery was not long ago proclaimed as the principal cause of civilization, indeed, as the sole cause, Tt was defended and! extolled as a divine institution by precisely the same type of clerical mind that defends and extols pro- hibition. , "It ate out the vitals of our na- tion for over a half-century, just as prohibition is doing now. It was in- corporated in our constitutional sys- tem, and even as late as 1561, the attempt was made so to amend the constitution that it could never be nbolished, iven after Lincoln had been inaugurated and the eivil war had begun. this proposal was ratifled by the states of Ohio, Maryland and Ilinois. Men and women of the highest Intelligence and noble char- acter who hated slavery wera called upon to accept it and obey the laws based upon it because they were the law, be- Will Obey the Taw. “Precisely the same arguments are urged in support of the I8th amendment. My own feeling toward prohibition is exactly the feeling which my parents and my grandpar- ents had toward slavery, Like Abra ham Lincoln, I shall obey these laws #0 long as they remain upon 1the statute book: but, like Abraham Lin- coin. 1 shall not rest until they are repealed.” Gov.
