AMERICA'S LIQUOR LAWS.
THE PRESIDENT'S APPEAL.
EXAMPLE BETTER THAN PRECEPT.
Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn. NEW YORK, June 26.
In several addresses made during brief stops across country, President Harding paid noticeable attention to prohibition, frequently appealing to the wealthy classes to forego liquor, even if it had been legally acquired prior to the laws of enforcement, so that the poorer classes would feel there was no'sense of discrimination. The New York World's correspondent with the President sends an interesting sidelight that President Harding has become a total abstainer, feeling that he should set an example. It was no secret that the President used to enjoy u. sociable drink when it was available. Latterly, however, he has been a rigid teetotaller, feeling that while there is no law against consumption when the beverages have been legally obtained, self-denial must be practised by those in high positions in order to secure the general obedience of all classes to the dry law.
