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repealed for the population ot the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." . .
A record crowd attended, and un
usual interest wag manifested, as
shown bv frenuent applause.
