HAS GOODS ON OFFICIAL DRINKING
DECLARES REPRESENTATIVE UPSHAW;
EVIDENCE IS TO BE TURNED OVER
(Continued from rage One i
purpose, sind that was tg use the
sacredness of the Christmas spirit to
cause the widest possible observance
of our national prohibition law, and
with it the great personal and na
tional blessing coming from sobriety
and a. proper reference for ail duly
constituted law. ,
Will Give No Names
Asked if ] expect to reveal narn
of high officials who have lw»n
drinking illicit liquor, I answer that
T hope I am too niugh of a gentleman
to violate the amenities of tv casual
personal or official acquaintance just
for the sake of raising a fuss or em
barrassing many otherwise splendid
men. Hut I "have the goods" so far
os evidence is concerned.
I could give names and dates that
'Would startle tho country, but 1
don't want to do it, and I do not in
tend to unless the issue is forced on
me. I don't want to embarrass any
body by publicity I want to help
these high officials to repent. I
don’t want a noise. I want the devil
ish thing lo stop.
1 am glad to say the President is
not Included .personally in my im
plication concerning high officials,
but in fare of the persistently cur
ia nt stories in Washington about the
drinking that goes on at many gilded
functions where high officials are
guests and patrons, and in the face
of President Harding's timely and
righteous call on all governors to
help enforce that part of the con
stitution w hich outlaws the liquor |
traffic for‘the encouragement of so
briety and the redemption of onr1
youth, and in face of that other dead-!
ly fact that there is such a wide
spread belief that officialdom does'
arrogate to itself a Bacchanalian'
privilege which it legally and os ten-:
elbly denies to the masses, I frankly!
believe the President arid all mem-;
bors of his official family would d i
0. gloriously wholesome thing to do-!
Clare, with Commander Alvin Ow dev
of the American Legion, that they
are “on tho water wagon” every min
ute of Ac time while they are oath
bound officials of the United States.
Praises Bryan’s Example
This would onconrago and fortify!
many a wavering official and millions!
t
i 'if hesitant, well-meaning citizens of
ur prohibition country.
Th" responsibility of leadership on
i great moral issue is appalling.
William J. Bryan, who has been be
I fore the. American people more than
1 tin years without a fleck on his
I name, who Wills tile faith of the God
| fearing mas.-e in Hie hollow of liis
I hand today a- n vcr before, and who
could poll mo o rotes for President
on a platform of national sobriety
; and law enforcement than any other
! living man. lias long c arried a book.
! they sav. in which ho signs the
pledge •anew every time ho can in
due • some wavering friend lo Join
him. iNobndy suspects Bryan of
! tippling. But knowing the power
in example, hr simply declares him
self ul every opportunity for the sake
of inspiring others.
Why should not our President,
our Vice President and all their
retinue of retainers rejoice to dedi
cate the wide influents of their high
position to this necessary remits-.
sar of official and personal sob
' < iy? Why should not the Tlotar
innr, Kiw i.nians,‘Civilians, Optimists
end all other civic, patriotic and fra
ternal organisation* that are so
ready to load successful drives for
every form of ten-valence and patrl-,
otisin underwrite this wholesome Of-1
• :>rt to prevent the distress which!
their generosity and humanity are sf
ready to heal?
Why should no: those superb or
ganizations of forward looking men
electrify America nd givo a moral
tonic to all mankind by adopting {lie
slogan, “The whole Constitution, a
stainless flag and a sober world?"
Why should not The World, which
has been honestly wet. but which Is
American and humanitarian first of
■'ll. lead a patriotic crusade for the
full Constitution, knowing that the
Eighteenth Amendment will never
he repealed, and determined to be n
"good sport” us well as a constitu
tional Democrat, fighting for a law
that has fairly won through the pray
ers and consecrated efforts of the
most unselfish people on earth?
This Is a sane, serious matter,
riio bootlegger, who fills his unholy
nurse by the Illicit damnation of
vour children and mine, la the pol
luted enemy of our civilization. The 1
......ilium 111 ■ 111 mi |
bliml mnn who patronises him Is n
partaker of his Inexcusable crime.
Every patriot, every parent, knnw3
I am right. Tliero pan be no com
promise with wrong. A man is never
extremely honest—he is just honest,
that's all. Beer would mean brewer
ies anil breweries would mean politi
cal corruption and human debauch
ery. The Eighteenth Amendment
outlaws the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors. Lot’s stand by
' ths Constitution, especially when hu
man happiness is so vitally involved.
