Believes Clemenceau's "Gruff'
ness" May Prevent Success
of Mission te U. 8.
SEES THE FLAPPER PASSING
The rmnnl nf the rnuntrv are net
against the Eighteenth Amendment. It
ts the subsequent legislation drignea te
"Improve" the amendment an&V meas
ures tee sevpre being used In Its en
forcement, thnt hnve caused revolt
ngninst it.
This comment was made tedny by
Dr. Russell II. Cenwcll. who Is cele
brating hi fortieth anniversary ns
pastor of Itnptlst Temple, nnd who,
forty years age, founded Temple Unl-
ersity.
Dr. Conwell predicted that the
present pretest against mensures used
In enforcing prohibition would remain
until some modification wns made.
"The trouble with prohibition Is npt
te be found in the Eighteenth Amend
ment," said Dr. Conwell. "The source
of the present discontent ever prohibi
tion is due te thc extreme menMires
which are being used In the enforce
ment. The Velstead law is a little tee
severe In its mensures.
"Had no attempts' been made te im
prove the amendment itself the people
of the country would have mnde no
great outcry against the net. Subse
quent laws, however, have made the
people rise up ngninst the enforcing of
the tee strict measures, and their dis
satisfaction will remain until some
modification Is made."
Thc "flnnncr." in thc estimation of
Dr. Cenwcll, is quickly passing out of
existence.
"I believe the modern elrl has been
mentally stabilized by the adverse
criticisms and writings which have been
made concerning her dress and con
duct," said Dr. Conwell. "There is
nothing realty immoral about the
'Manner. Her tendencies In dress and
conduct were merely expressions of her
inner self.
"7 n I'll irnnnrntinn nf vnnn trls
establishes n new topic for scathing
criticisms. They are net te be cen
sured severely, however, for their acts
nnd mannerisms are devoid of any de
sire te de wrong. They reallv imagine
tbey are enjoying themselves."
Dr. Conwell was asked te express
his opinion of Clemcnceau.
"I de net believe that Clemenceau
Is in the country solely en hl own re
sponsibility," he said. "I de think that
he has the backing of the present
Premier in his mission, nnd thnt he Is
endeavoring te build up relations with
our country nnd France, In order thnt
we might combine In our efforts te col
lect the Germnn reparations."
"Clemenceau is inclined te be de
cidedly extreme in hisj methods, and
somewhat boitereus in his manner of
expression. Gruffness of manner en
such ii mission might seriously hamper
its success."
