Some time ago, the Manufacturers, Record sent out a questionnaire to a large number of the great manufacturers* and business leaders of the country, asking their opinion of the prohibition law. Of the large nuYnber who responded, eighty-five per ?ent expressed their hearty approval of th>» law. Henry Ford recently stated, "If booze ever comes back to the United States, I am through with manufacturing." Edison takes a similar stand. Hoover expresses the belief that the law is far reaching in its benefits and next a*RO desirable because of its potential Pot-, va^ue to society. Another favorite argument against prohibition is that prohibition killings and the enforcement methods used by government officials are setting an example for holdup men, murderers, and housebreakers: However, the Congressional Record of June 14, 1929, shows that of 155 persons killed, 55 Mr. and Mrs. Henry Herman of Norwood Park were Sunday callers in the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Kramer- Mrs. F.

With saloon*, we would never have been able to t'o this. Cars, homes, and saving accounts are taking the money which was j formerly wasted on liquor. A new • generation is growing up and they are being educated to the fact that drinking is not worth while. They will probably never know the taste, r r good liquor, and after one experience with the bad, they will be even mor<? in favor of complete abstinence. The Eighteenth Amendment* was not conceived or thought of over night. It was the direct outgrowth of temperance movement which had been started over a "hundred years ago. It has been ratified by all except a few of the states and is written into the constitution so that it cannot be easily taken out. It has benefited us to such a degree that if the old conditions were to return; the country would find itself-in a state of chaos which might mean social and economic ruin. The wheels of industry would be forced to slow down- Automobiles and all types of machines would be a menace to society if they were allowed to into the hands of those people 10 others were engaged in shooting with the officers,: 32 others.^pulled their guns first, but the officers were better shots; 12 others made attempts upon the lives of the officers with instruments other than guns. Most of the others were endeavoring to escape. In view of these facts I believe everyone, who is not "too prejudicial or radical, will agree With me when I say prohibition enforcement methods are no different from the enforcement methods used to suppress oth^r crimes. • One often wonders, however, why the newspapers in a large city are so bitter regarding the prohibition law. This is probably dtae to-the fact that the large cities are generally -in favor of liquor in large quantities. and of course prefer- to read articles agreeing with their point of view. In Chicago, for instance the Tribune editorials oh prohibition are almost fanatical in their statements and denunciations of the present system of the control of intoxicating liquors. The large number of foreigners in New York and Chicago make this situation even more acute. Thus a newspaper seeking who-claim that it is their personal Timely, because it comes in time for your Christmas expenditures* When you do your Christmas gift buying, use your Christmas Savings Club check as your budget. ?

I will grant that it is not strictly enforced as it might be, but the government is gradually obtaining the upper hand and the law is becoming more and more respected. Even with the present enforcement, we note that the husband no longer spends his entire salary in a saloon. liberty to be allowed to drink as much as they care to. If we could go back to the days of 1916, even for one night, it would be such a shock to us that there would never again be a demand to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment. ^ We must keep the Eighteenth Adhnendment in order to keep ahead j ^ of the rest of the world. It is our hope for a better and cleaner life and it will serve to prove that man can better himself by (ferrying temptation. about them v •' jyr ^ ' * Join Our New' * .
