PAGE TEN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1928 EPISCOPAL CLERGY OPPOSE DRY LAWS INUNITED STATES Poll Reveals Canadian Con- trol System Favored By Ministers WILL SUPPORT SMITH Belief is Expressed on All Sides That Prohibition is Failure Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 2l.--A poll of the Protestant Episcopal clergy- men of the United States made pub- lic here reveals that of the hundreds who answered, almost all believed that prohibition is a failure. i That is looked upon in political crcles as a tremendous blow to the Republican Party in the presidential fight. : y : Almost equally unanimous is the in- stance that the present situation must be remedied. ., The great majority of the ministers declare that the Canadian system of Government control is what the United States should follow, and they plan to take their wet views to Gov- enor Al. Smith, a Catholic, whom they plan to support in his battle for residency. pres, T AR Publicati The opinions of the clergy are re- ported in "Prohibition as We See It, soon to be published by the Church Temperance Society. oi While the society does not officially represent or act for the Episcopal Church, the presiding mission of the church is president of the society and every Episcopal | Bishop is a vice- president ex-officio, : The charter of the society, organ- jzed in 1879, declares it object to be the teaching of temperance as the reat majority of opinions expressed in the publication would indicate. Its policy and that of the Episcopalian clergy is the securing of temperance and not the furtherance of prohibi- on. "tr Ho he ministers argue that _prohibi- tion is a failure because of its lack of moral, legal and spiritual founda- tion and justification." That pohibi- tion is contrary to the teachings o Christ and entirely un-Christian in its application and results, is stressed in lies, he ep rch Temperance Society began in 1925 to investigate condi- tions under prohibition with a view to making a report what the success or failure of the 18th amendment.

The book carries forewords by John Erskine, philosopher and author, and Dr. James Empringham, national superintendent of the society and a former national vice-president of the Anti-Saloon League. Mr. Erskine says in part: "We cannot remind ourselves too often that the doctrine of temperance, preserved in the modern world chief- ly through the teachings of the Church, 1s a philosophy in itself, and covers far more than the question of meat and drink. It implies seli-con- trol, self-respect, self-discipline, res- pect for others and respect for law. "Prohibition is a Mohammedan doctrine. "We might be willing to exchange for it the Greek and Christian theory of temperance, if anywhere in the world prohibition had ever succeeded. "But, in matters of food and drink, as in matters of opinion and belief, there is nowhere a police force suffi- cient to compel all men. "If having attempted to improve men by force we must in the end ap- peal to his better nature, why not appeal to that better nature immedi- ately, and first of all?" The opinions expressed by the clergymen indicate the encompassing angles and viewpoints from which prohibition was considered by the churchmen. Some of Opinions Following are a few of the opin- ions of Episcopal ministers as printed in "Prohibition as We See It." Rev. John Hallowell Dickinson, St. Peter's Rectory, Hazleton, Pa.: "No doubt the present law has some good, but all thinking people must see that for the most part it is a failure. "For my own part, I'd like to see the Quebec plan tried out. Whereas, like all plans, it has its imperfec- tions, I think it's about the best I've seen or investigated." Rev. Charles A. Stronborn, St. Mark's Chursh, Johnstown, Pa.: I have long felt that the Eight- eenth Amendment has proved worse than a failure, inasmuch as it has produced untold evil in many direc- tions, which, to my mind, would not have arisen had the Government a more sane method of dealing with a situation which demanded some sort of control. The abolition of sirable thing, but the Volstead Act has led to results far worse than those produced by the saloon. I am utterly opposed to the Eighteenth Amendment as at present administer- ed, and am strongly in favor of Gov- ernment control of the sale of all alcoholic beverages, provided it can carried out as in Canada, and without corruption and political in- trigue." Rev. James L. Smiley, Annapolis, Md.--"Prohibition and its corollary boot-legging are symptoms of the de- pravity of our civilization, We are now fast repudiating from the authorship of the Bible. If we follow the Word of God, we would demand true temperance, a virtue against which there is no law. "To realize temperance, the public ownership of the whole liquor traffic is indispensable. Our neighbor--Can- ada--is setting a good example, Let the United States be as bravely Christian as Canada."

It gives no esti- mate of yield but states the harvest- ing conditions are excellent practical- ly throughout the Dominion, grades promise to be good and hail damage, even in Alberta is comparatively light. In Manitoba the grain is one quarter cut, with damage from any cause negligible. In Saskatchewan and Alberta cutting is expected to be general next week with hail dam- age slight taking the province as a whole and insect nuisance less than usual. In Eastérn Canada rain has de- layed the gathering of crops and grades may suffer in consequence, The Government's report reads: New Brunswick :(--From the Do- minion Experimental Station, Fred- eriction :--Wet weather in the first eleven days of the month delayed hay making and lodged early grain, Potatoes, roots and vegetables, ap- ples, average crop. Pastures good. Grain promising, ripening rapidly in dry, warm weather this week. Hay Inferior Quebec :--From the Quebec Bureau of Statistics :--Recent rain has be- lated hay making and damaged the crop nearly everywhere cxcept in Lower Quebec where dryness pre vailed. In the Montreal region and Eastern Townships the crop of hay will be inferior. Cereals are likely to give a good crop, generally, and so are potatoes. at Lac St. Jean and in the Abitibi, There is abundance of hay, and the last four warm days have certainly improved the condi tion of all tation, Ontario :--From the Department of Agriculture :--Two weeks of dry weather is the general cry of the farmers of the province. A few coun- ties report as much as 50 per cent. of the hay crop as standing. The bulk of the fall wheat, a good per- centage of barley and some oats are in stook. A good deal oi wheat has sprouted both in the stook and stand- ing in the field. The heavier, lower- lying lands are reported as still im- passable to machinery, the mower and reaper are being used in many sec- tions on weather-beaten fields of grain where the binders will not work. Favored by continued humid- ity, rust is making headway in many fields of late oats. In fact, the wea- ther has been most favorable for many fungi and insect pests. To add to the difficulty, farm labor is re- ported as very scarce in all parts of the province. Pastures are good, and the milk flow exceptionally high for this time cf year. The prices of- fered for livestock generally are sat- isfactory. With some branches of farm work at a standstill, advantage is being taken in some sections to get the land ploughed for fall wheat, Crop yields vary a great deal. The situation in Northern Ontario is generally better. Recent good weather has improved conditions and thresh- ing is general throughout central and Western Ontario. Wheat yields fair, 20 to 50 bushels per acre. Expect Heavy Yield Manitoba :--From the Manitoba Department of Agriculture :--Grain crop one-quarter cut, recent weather favorable. Rust negligible. Very little hail or other damage except July drowning in places. Yields of all cereals satisfactory. Grade good. Threshing started in odd cases, Fod- der corn and potatoes doing well. From the Dominion Experimental Farm, Brandon: --Warm weather during the past two weeks has has- tended ripening crops. The grain is plump and heavy yields are expected irom the crop. Oats and barley are in stooks and wheat cutting is be- coming general. Pastures good and livestock thriving well. Saskatchewan :--From the Saskat- chewan Department. of Agriculture: --Wheat acnerally in good condi- tion. Cutting started in several dis- twicts and capected to be general next week. Hail again caused severe dam- age in a few localities. Damage, how- ever, taking province as a whole, not great. Coarse grains in fairly good condition, Weather generally favor- able for ripening. Damage Negligible Alberta: --From the Alberta De- partment of Agriculture: --The hot weather of the past week has hasten- ed ripening of crops all over the province. Hail damage, though se- vere in places, is much lighter than last year. The crop, in general has been singularly free from disease and insect pests. Some army worms have appeared during the past ten days, however, but the infestation has been confined mostly to gardens. Light frosts have occurred in several places, but the damage is negligible. From present indications, there will be a good quality of grain. On the whole the weather has been favorable for |§ filling nad ripening so that there is a prospect of a better grade than last year, The dry cool weather of the carly spring was not favorable for heavy stooling. In some parts, wheat cutting has commenced in most of the districts heard from, but will not be general before August 25th. Cutting of fall wheat and rye is practically completed. With some fall rve already threshed, an ex- haustive study is being made of con- ditions in the province, and when completed, next week, a special re- port regarding vield, acreage and quality will be issued. = $3 Oshawa Blvd. Dis- trict, easy terms, $35 down, balance $5 monthly.
