"FOR THE GLORY OF OLD STATE" VOL. 27, No. 22 COLLEGE STUDENTS DRINK LESS LIQUOR, ROBINS BELIEVES World Traveller Thinks Present Disregard for Laws Is , - Backwash of War ASSAILS VIOLATORS OF EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT Says Light Wine, Veer Campaign Pretense to Legalize Open ' Saloon, Traffic Drinking of intoxicating liquors has decreased among college students of America, in the opinion of Col. Ray mond Robins of New York city, world traveller and lecturer, who addressed the student body on the Eighteenth Ainendment to the CoTistitution last night in Schwab auditorium. Contrary to claims that the in creased lawlessness in the youth of our country is caused by prohibition, Col. Robins believes that this disre gard for law and order is an after math, n backwash of the World War As proof of this contention he point ed out that there is an Increase in crime in all the nations that partici pated In the Great War, although the United States is the only one to out law the liquor traffic There is there fore another and universal cause for the disregard for law and authority In explaining the controversy be tween the upholders of the Constitu tion and those who would nullify the Eighteenth Amendment, Col. Robins declared. "This issue is just a segment of the age-old struggle between priiilege, 'pedal interests and human welfare It will go on long after our tongues are silent. 'lt is the everlasting strug gle of humanity against the exploit ing forms that betray and destroy the hope and promise of the youth of the world." Fusers Trial Period question there stand out two clear cut facts. First, that there must be a substantial agreensvnt between the 'wets' and the 'drys' as to the social and economic results of prohibition enforcement, and secondly, that those who want repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment are in no genuine agree ment as to sshnt of control of the liquor traffic should be substitut ed for prolubstion. The campaign for light wmes and beers is a pretense and sham, behind which to bring back and legalize the saloon and liquor traffic, in the opin ion of the speaker. Col Robins de clared that the Government ownei ship, manufacture, and sale of Intoxi cating liquors will never become the policy of this republic, because such a policy would bi mg back all the evils of the old system, build a far-reach ing and vicious drunken bureaucracy Col Robins believes that ns a solu tion to the question we should base honest enforcement for a ten-year maid, with provision foi investiga tion at the end of that time to see what actual results base been The advance of democracY, ParticulatlY women's suffrage, will not tiering other than sane action Re sug gested that the Nineteenth Amend ment was the best guarantee that the Eighteenth Amendment would never be repealed.
