continue to disobey law and our hope
lies in training the young of its ef-
fect upon them. John D. Rockefeller
is looking ahead into the future of our
great educational system.
Our opponent also said prohibition
~ created a disregard for law and repeal
brought a decrease in crime. Do not
- people still disobey the law now? If
all obeyed we would have no use for
our courts, police, or prisons. Our op-
ponent also stated that the arrests of
youths between 17 and 21 years of age
rose from 65 before prohibition to 100,
to 200, to 300, and finally in 1934 to
400. Remember that beer caine in 1933
© ang liquor early in 1934. Here are a
few facts to show that arrests are in-
creasing: Statistics prove that our
penal institutions housed 152,000 men
and women, most of them young peo-
ple and an increase of 6,000 over 1935.
In our own county a young man killed
gasirl and his only excuse was that he
2 was drunk and didn’t know why. This
yor a drive against liquor violations
was made and we find that the boot-
li is still with us. The proof is
that 1274 stills were confiscated and
140 were arrested for evading the tax
on liquors. These violations occurred
during a three day-law enforcement
~ drive by the various departments of
the U. S: Treasury Service in Septem-
~ ber of this year.
Our opponent states that there was
more drinking among the boys and
girls during prohibition. He gave fig-
ures to show the same. Here are
some figures taken from Dr. Goldman
—Commissioner of Bellevue Hospital,
~ Dr. Goldman says, “Excessive drink«
ing has increased in leaps and bounds.
~ In 1934, seven thousand four hundred
sixty-nine cases of ACUTE alcoholism
were brought into their hospital; in
1935, nine thousand one hundred
thirty-nine cases were brought in, and
in 1936, the number of Acute alcohol-
~ ism cases are increasing at the rate
of twelve thousand three hundred sev-
enty-eight for the year.” Dr. Gold-
man is alarmed. Other hospitals state
the same, and’ remember the taxpayer
is paying in part for the- upkeep of
most hospitals.
Our opponent also states that men
and women were put back to work;
‘which may be partly true, but in
‘March, 1935, there were still twelve
million people on relief and Repeal
had been in almost two years.
Let’s see what one of our great in-
dustrialists says.
Henry Ford says, “The emergence of

IN THE FALL, TRA LA
Mr. and Mrs. Ross Lewin are
. enjoying the unique experience of
having violets in full bloom in
© their garden in October.
The plants were transplanted
last June from the garden of a
relative in Gouldsborough. They
were believed to be dead until a
few weeks ago, when they develop-
ed buds. By Wednesday they
were in full bloom. - x
The only difference between the
Fall blossom and the Spring

girls and boys need not be afraid to
cross the street where this abuse and
indecency is carried on by drinkers—
drinkers whose lives lead to drunken-
ness and shame, lacsiviousness, lying,
fornication, and adultery. Let's meas-
ure 36 inches to the yard and weigh
16 ounces to the pound.
Mrs. Earl Weidner
Editor:
I see in your paper you want peo-
ple’s views on local option. I have
been reading some of them. I was
very much impressed with Mrs. Bis-
sell’s letter. On the other hand I see
Mr. Ryan's letter in last week's issue
of how much license fee, how much
sales tax and other fees he is paying.
He ends up by saying that if we have
local option we will stop all this mon-
ey. They told us when they repealed
the Eighteenth Amendment we were
not going to have the old saloon, like
the olden times, but it is a thousand
times worse.
You can get it now in the restaur-
ants, stores or most any place. I
fhink it is one of the worst curses
that ever came upon our country, and
now the Business Men's Association of
| Harvey's Lake have the nerve to tell
how it is going to raise our taxes. I
don’t know who they are but may God
help us when we put money above the
souls of our children.
"If I turn my cows in a field of corn
they are sure to eat it, but if they
so likely, as long as they do not get a
taste of it. It is the same with peo-
ple. If they do not get a taste of the
cursed stuff they are worried for fear
America from the horse and buggy
period (for the horse was always so- |
ber) brought the whole drink question |
into focus. No one wants to be at the
~ mercy of any machine in the hands
of a drinking men.” Here are some
other quotations: :
Connie Mack: “All the umpires to-
gether have not put as many players
out of the game as Old Man Booze.”
George Wi Coleman: “If alcohol is a
hindrance to athletic efficiency, as all
trainers allow, it is likewise a handi-
cap in the fierce race for business
success.”
Lady Astor: “When I have a good
4ime I want to be sober so I can know
_ about it.”
- Adolph Lorenz, M. D.: “My success
depends upon my brain’s being clear,
~ my muscles firm, and my nerves
~~ steady. As a surgeon, I must not
drink.” : i
~ William J. Mayo, M. D.: “Scientific
research has shown that alcohol is a
marcotic not a stimulant Alcohol has
Jittle value as a medicinal agent and
it certainly carries distinct dangers to
those who make use of it as a drink.”
Now, let’s look at some figures dur-
ing Prohibition. Banking increased
$38,000,000. There was $100,000,-
000, 000 more money coming into our
families and life insurance increased
$105,000,000. Fourteen million working
men owned their own cars. We had
50 per cent more students in our high
schools and 75 per cent more in our
~ colleges. Money that had gone for
drink was going for things worth
‘while.
As to taxes: Have your taxes de-
creased since Repeal? Ours have not.
‘Wk have persons in our home paying
taxes in both Lake Township and Dal-
las Township and have seen no de-
crease. Look over your tax cards for
the last four years. If Mr. Ryan at
the Lake pays as much to County and
Township as he refers to (and we all
know that all his taxes do not go to
the Township and County but must
also go on to the State and Nation)
we wonder what he has for himself.
Our heavy liquor taxes supposed to
make the industry pay are making an
"increase in the number of stills, boot-
leggers, and crime.
Citizens of the Townships and
Borough remember—the moderate
drinkers of today are the drunkards of |
tomorrow. Can you afford to take the
chance for your girl or boy? Can you
in the name of God pray for his king-
dom to come on earth and then make
a hell of your place by placing the
evils there? Think it over friends and
christians. You ought to down these!

curses along with the cigarette. They

traffic in its true light. May God help
us as a nation to not sell out to Satan
so cheap. May God give us men with
enough moral fibre in their backbone
to stand out square against this curse
that is ruining our country. I see in

means a vote for the bootlegger, but
statistics show that in New York City
and Philadelphia alone there are more
bootleggers now than there was dur-
ing prohibition, and there are more
people on relief now than there was
in 1932. I am 100 per cent for local
option.
