WTOTORP mm TRIBUNE, ftTEDFOKIF, OK rlflON, MONDAY, MAY 2(5, 1919 REV. BOOZER SAYS SWAT THE BOLSHEVIK!! I r-vrvz-v n.r-z?zx TODAY ' " I IRrff ' ONLY AI BER.T LYTELL BEER-WINE PLEA BAPTIST CHURCH -In : ' PXOE SIX . "President Wllfion's action in ask ing the repeal ot the war time prohl a bitlon law In so far as It has to do with beer and wine Is a blunder so great and so vital as to remove It ent'roly above and outside ot par tisanship. A critic of this act Is In eood company for the general assent. fcly of the Presbyterian church In . session at St. Louis cabled a resoln lion of censure to the president di rect, tho Baptist convention in Don ver passed similar resolutions and good people everywhere are shocked nd grieved," said Rev. Boozer of the IProsbytorlan church in . his sermon Sunday entitled "President Wilson's Colossal Blunder." "The president has blundered in estimating the temper of the public mind. A vast majority of the popu lation approved war time prohibition snd only a noisy minority asked re peal. "When the law was passed S9.5 percent ot the area ot the. United States was under no-license and 64.6 per ccflt of the population were In the dry area. The law will not bo repealed for the population ot the united States has the lock on tho old spigot In the barrel and will not take it off." , "It is a calamity In that it tends to . slacken the moral efficiency of an entire nation, a moral efficiency that had reached a very high, degree of moral outlook and stability. For war purposes we drew a great tone of purity and sobriety around the mob ilization ' camps, denied ourselves many pleasures and luxuries and all for the highest Ideals. Has the time come for the slackening of the moral bonds of a nation? Are we to Judge that, the great peril past or seeming ly so. we are at liberty to resume practices that border on the evil and a whole nation to be encouraged to recede from the high plane of noble living that the crisis gave birth to? Is a little beer and wine to be' the type of living that Is to exalt America and give health to her soul?" . "Here is a request that is open to such construction, by the enemies ot sobriety, as to apparently maintain a position not borne out by facts. The alcohol in beer and wine is no dif ferent from that In whisky, except in, quantity. , It is poison Just the same. Drunk on whisky and on beer differ only in point of time consumed in acquiring the Jag. Two glasses of 2.75 per cent' (by weight) beer will carry into the blood as much alcohol as an ounce drink ot whisky. It is a blunder that puts into the hands of the anti-prohibition forces just the club they have been trying to wield for a long time. The president's atti tude Is indefensible from every stand point and misleading. No explanation that can be made can be flattering to him., "A most serious blunder in the face of the creat problems of recon struction. The hnihest efficiencv of our citizenship is a demand in a day of such vast import. Clear minds, steady nerves and invulnerable moral vision and conviction are the onlv means of salvation for the creat world todav. Beer befuddled brains will muddle the whole business of re construction, add, dnilv to the re cruits of the ranks of violence and disorder.- Whv do the authorities close everv saloon at the first siim of a mobt Whv does the president ad vise tapphur the closed barrel when siens of disorder are trowing in ev erv industrial center. "Are we froine to lose sight of the sinister foe that has been, is todav America's real enemv? The German American Alliance. Ocrmunv's instru ment of traitors to America and the National Association of Commerce and Labor, the ereat oponent of prohibition.-were the organized brewimr interests of America, financed and managed bv the great German brew ing interests of America. Cull the roll of the breweries and everv name is Hun, its dividends are reverting to Germany as soon as peace is signed. The jubilant whistles of San Fran cisco were nulled bv German h'unds. No we will not repeal the law for America is for Americans and everv man who takes the oath of allegiance from now on renounces in heart and in fact loyaltv to everv other flae and land and becomes American entire, or be goes back to his beloved land where he can have without betrtival of our land the kultur he longs for. Wo whipped Germany in the foeld of battle and we will whip her in the field of sobriety and decency and there will bo no beer and wine in America after July 1st." . .
