WET-DRY QUESTION INDRAMA ‘DEBATE Messrs. Prettyman and Pardes | Discuss Prohibition Issue That the public is being given misleading information of the pro- hibitlon question, depending entire- | ly upon what one's source of in-| formation is, was intimated in the course of a debate on the subject| at the Y. M. C. A. banquet hall last Birth Record —_— A daughter has been born to Dr. and Mrs. William J. Walsh of New York. Dr. Walsh formerly lived on Bassette street, this city, and f r several years has been physician of the New York National league base- ball club. Maple Hill News The Woman's club of Maple Hill | will open its activities with a rum- mage sale next Tuesday. The doors will be open at 9:30 o'clock. Those evening. - The debate was under the aus- Picies of allied ‘temperance organi- zations of the city, including Phoe- | nix Temple of Honor and Temper- ance and the Women's Christian Temperance Union. William E. Pardee of Orange and E. C. Prettyman of New Haven pre- | sented the debate which was dra- | matized. Mr. Prettyman took the role of one opposed to the prohibi- tion amendment and advanced many familiar arguments. He rep- resented an enforcement agent who | lacked enthusiasm for his job, while Mr. Pardee represented one | who demanded strict enforcement. | Mr. Prettyman contended that the law was folsted on the country | while the young men were at war. | Mr. ~ Pardee countered with the| statement that prohibition was a| gradual development and that uwi majority of the voters today “ould oppose repeal. Mr. Prettyman said drunkenness had increased, while Mr. Pardee quoted statistics to show him in er- ror. " | Mr. Prettyman advocated modifi- | cation by allowing light wines and heer. Mr. Pardee scoffed at the ar- gument and suggested it was as il- logical as to prohibit stealing of heavy, expensive cars but permit- ting stealing of light, popular makes. He sald in 1820 an attempt had been made in Boston to wean | men from drinking hard liquor by giving them light wines and beer but that the attempt was a failure. Mr. Prettyman said enforcement was costing the government a great | deal of money. Mr. Pardee said the government spent $200,000,080 on | enforcement and collected $400.- 000,000 in fines. Mr. Prettyman quoted certain newspapers that popular sentiment was against the law. Mr. Pardee said Mr. Prettyman got that impres- sion from reading wet papers.
