8 I d J II I I DRY AMENDMENT Continued 1 from page 1 In the league of ot nations was repugnant could have been written out but to refuse to countenance an any med for universal peace was nothing but a a. denial of every principle for tor which this country went to war I As to prohibition that Is a delicate question but I have always alwa's asserted I Im m my belief belle and have never evaded c a a. question Bishop Gailor declared To Tome Tome Tome me the writing into our constitution of t the eighteenth amendment was unpardonable un un- un- un pardonable The Tho saloons were going the church was making headway against what ovll evil there was In liquor To my mind it was nothing short of or hysteria that put lUt over a restriction I which could not hope to suppress that evil LIQUOR TRAFFIC INCREASES In Tennessee since prohibition tho I liquor traffic has Increased I visited d ive universities in I that state stat last winter and in each case caseI I was was told that the drinking of intoxicants intoxicants cants ants by young oung people was more of or a problem than ever before Throughout Tennessee Tennessee they are making whisky wherever the they want to and you can hard hardly 1 expect anything else when theOan they theO can an sell It for 4 a quart and Jt St costs about 10 cents a gallon to produce And the there e Is more drinking among the tho young than ever before That is human human human hu hu- hu- hu man nature Whenever we adopt tho the German Gorman system and sa say Verboten to our boys bos wo we may expect th they y will wili disobey disobey

GalloI I believe belle a Christian should be an optimist I can remember the hard times which followed the Civil I war Wo We paid as hI high h as 14 a barrel for flour And It went on to the tho j g panic of 1873 I dont don't think con con- now v arc are generally as bad as then An And at least litey arc aro not more more than we should have expected For Forwar Forwar Forwar war means waste and as the World war was tho the greatest conflict in history history his his- tor tory It was also the tho greatest waste But this country countr has not felt It Jt as bad M as some others and I think
