BAPTISTS WARN
. See Cause For Watchful
ness Lest the Amendment
Be Resubmitted
11,000 CHURCHES
p ARE ON GUARD
, "Prohibition is in danger" Is the
substance of a warning sent out by
the Social Service Department of
» the Northern Baptist Convention to
11.000 Baptist churchen, which come
within the jurisdiction of the North
* Vrn Baptist Convention.
* "There Is eause for watchfulness.
..... . . , .
»lest tho Eighteenth Amendment be
resubmitted and repealed.
"There Is grave danger in over
* confidence; danger in false security.
"The adoption of the Eighteenth
Amendment is not by any means the
, end of the fight."
These are extracts from a review
of "Tho Temperance Situation" sent
nut by the Rev. Dr. Samuel Zanc
head of the of
Social Service, with offices in the
Hoger Williams Building. Philadel- ;.
^bla- _
Dr. Batten recommends "systems- j
tic and persistent education of the'
people on the evils of alcohol. ' lIe|
urges publicity showing tho bene-,
llrial results of prohibition in so
ciety business an d civic morality. |
J "Wo must not accept any excuses |,
* for failure to obey the laws on the j
part of any, he writes Men who j
Molato the prohibition law are law-'
* breakers and nullifler»
We must
lie on our guard against any efforts !
secure tho weakening of the law j
* and the repeal of the Eighteenth j
-Amendment."
ti
Prohibition missionaries will go I
* out into several States, under the i
auspices of the Baptist Social Ser- >
vice Department, and urge this pro- I
* gram upon the churches.
"Some maintain that prohibition <
was a war measure; with the pass- .
"tng of war there, should be an end of
unusual restrictions" the statement
"Some argue that the en- '
forcement laws aro too rigid and |
sweeping and drive men Into revolt.
> Others say that prohibition is a |
failure; that It cannot be adequately'
' enforced.
« says.
The result is that there !
ts a strong and well organized effort
to modify the enforcement laws and
even to secure the repeal of the
amendment Itself."
Doctor Batten also makes the fol
I lowing recommendations:
"There must be the selection, by
• election and appointment, of the
■ right kind of men for public officials;
I they must be men who are in sym
r patby with prohibition and have the
I courage to enforce the laws.
"There must be such an amend
I ment to the enforcement codes, both
I Federal and State, as will make the
I enforcement of the laws possible and
I easy."

Read the Conditions That Have Brought
About This Most Remarkable
Of Rug Sales
A surplus of stock of this proportion
was naturally too great for even a con
cern of such standing as Alexander Smith
and Sons to earry. They accordingly
called together the principal wholesale
buyers of America and announced an
AUCTION SALK for the disposal of their
entire surplus.
Our buyer was among the fortunates
invited to the Auction, and a good por
tion of the rugs were "knocked-down" to
him at a price that permits the attractive
offerings that will mark their introduc
tion to you tomorrow.
Alexander Smith and Sons, the larg
est carpet and rug manufacturers in the
world, maintain 24-hour-a-dav working
schedule the year'round and underordin
arv conditions find that they can barely
produce enough goods under this severe
schedule to supply the demand. The re
cent so-called business depression how
ever was responsible for a falling off in
floor covering sales, and Alexander Smith
and Sons, still running their mills full
time, accumulated a surplus of several
million dollars-worth of high grade rugs.
