Dr. Clarence True Wilson, secretary of the Metho dist board of temperance, prohi bition and public morals, told a congregation that taxed the ca pacity of Jason Lee Methodist church Sunday. Dr. Wilson declared that pro hibition is necessary in tbe age of automobiles and airplanes. The patient mule used to take the farmer home from his Satur day drinking spree, but even the Ford won't db that now," Dr. Wil son continued. "Prohibition at its worst is better than the license system at its best." Dr. Wilson said that desnite the recent action taken br the two political conventions, he be lieved both the senate and house would stand like a atone wall for the retention, observance and bet ter enforcement of prohibition. "When- Portland had 488 sal oons It had 1190 government li quor receipts." Dr. Wilson declar ed. "After you deduct the drug gist, restaurant keeper and grocer wno soia liquor, vou still had two bootleggers for each saloon keep er. DT. Wilson said the tnrma "speakeasy," "blind pig" and "Jointist" were more than 60 years old. The bootlegger has always been with us, he continued, even in dry Kansas aad in wet Portland, Chicago and New York. The at tempt to make prohibition re sponsible for lawlessness and il licit traffic in liquor is a decep tion on the American people. PORTLAND. Ore.. Aur. 1 (AP) Clifford H. Dunn.
