Statement From the Advisory Committee. During the war it was thought de sirable to prohibit the sale of liquors to men in the Army and Navy in or der that their minds might be clear and their stamina unimpaired. There is no question as to the wisdom of that. Competent authorities state that the Prohibition promoted steadi ness in the service. The same prohi bition applied to civilians at home be cause of the necessity to conserve foodstuffs and fuel. It was thought, further, that under Prohibition there would be the maximum of industrial production. There is general agree ment as to the good effects of Pro hibition in all lines of busniess. . The Anti-Saloon League champion -ed all the measures of Prohibition "before the people, the legislatures and Congress. The. request from President Wilson to Bishop Cannon, that the Anti-Saloon League not in sist upon certain legislation on one occasion, proves the leadership of that organization. It will be recalled that the Anti-Saloon League imme diately acceded to the President's .wishes. War Prohibition and Prohibi tion by Constitutional ' Amendment .are largely the result of the constant effor: of . the Anti-Saloon League through its efforts to arouse and sus tain a wholesome an'd militant senti ment for Prohibition the Anti-Saloon League has maintained a staff of leg islative experts in Washington. It 'has been guided by a sense of obliga tion to build securely and permanent ly and has not been spectacular for the sake of applause. Now that the War is over some of our people are inclined to think that the work of the Anti-Saloon League has been accomplished and that it would disband. We do not think so. This is a serious time in our national life. Upheavals of many kinds, sug gest to us the need for a calm, sober judgement in every walk of life. It is desirable, we think, that no effort be spared that may win over to an attitude of sympathetic understand ing and co-operation, many thous sand of citizens who feel that they have been denied ? fundamental; right of citizenship. Those who vio late the law should be brought to justice. The campaign will build up anew and sustain a sentiment for the law and sense of obligation to sup port the officers in the discharge of their duties. The Anti-Saloon League plans to publish in twenty-five languages the facts about Prohibition, the effects of alcohol on the human body and mind and its demoralizing effect in industry. The men of foreign speech who live here have been victims of the liquor interests which have mis led them. The ignorance of our lan guage, our laws, and our traditions makes it necesasry that they be given the truth so that they may judge in telligently. Such programs are expensive. Sympathy is desirable, but there is need for substantial support. We are ourselves contributing to this cam paign, being prompted to do so by motives of good citizenship. We com mend it to you. No great cause flour ishes spontaneously. There must be organization and leadership. The li quor interests are still alert and ag gressive. Shall we withdraw and give them the field? , Fish Scrap Strongly Recom mended as a Fertilizer. Cope, S. C., September 25, 1919. Seminole Fertilizer & Oil Co., Fernandina, Fla.
