OGDEN, July In accordance with the request sent out by the betterment leagues and various other organizations of the state several weks ago. today was observed as "Prohibition Sunday" in most of the churches and Mormon meetinK houses of Oydm. At the First Presbyterian church this morning the Ref". John Edward Carver delivered a sermon on "The Sane View and intimate inti-mate of the State I,luuor Laws." The pastor holds t ha t if the quarantine laws and tho postal regulations prohibiting prohibit-ing obs'-ene literature aie not a curtailment curtail-ment of personal liberty, why should the prohibited sale of in toxica tinr liquors be considered as such. In part he said: America lias reason to be proud of some of the men who are upholding uphold-ing th.e spirit of our country in places of tea! need today. One of these is I lerbcrt Hoover. If you ask where lie is from it would be hard to answer, an-swer, for ninny parts of the world have claimed his efforts. He has done fine wmk in California, In Siberia, Si-beria, in Russia, in Fngland and ts now doing royal work in Relgium. He is a mining engineer who had over 1 0'ldK)1) men on his puy roll in tlie mince '4n Urn. I 'raj mowntfihis. He is now feeding the Belgian nation, na-tion, and for this work Fmghmd Is giving J.VbiO.OcO and France $4.iV'0,-(n0 $4.iV'0,-(n0 a month. America, through the Red Cross, has g'en $7.ono,i" He hns given his great talent to this humane work. He tells us that in Brussels tho peo-pif peo-pif take off their hats whenever they pass the A merh'an legation. Above this legation the Stars and Stripes have never been hauled down, and as rich and poor pass they uncover un-cover their heads in honor of the country that has provided Ttr them, for a 1 his solicitude the money has been raised. Now a country that develops such men, and America develops lots of them, and a country that does so much for the weak of ot her mi t ions should do very much for the weak and strong of its own. Moreover, it should protect the growing youth, for any one of t hese boys may become be-come one of the lenders of tomorrow. It is not enough to irive !hese tr.cn and boys liberty and opportunities. There must be wise guardianship on . . the part of tlie nation. We rlo not think that we curtail the personal liberties by the ijuar-entine ijuar-entine laws. We do not objert to our nation fighting obscene li' era lure. These protect from that which ia deadly. Why should not our nation, as n nation, and our state mm a st; te, safeguard these youth as they safe- gvard the fres's and natural re-so re-so u cs A re not 00 r y one n men and women our chief ase t an i v a ' u e ?
