WORLD WAR NOW ON!

“Right now there is a world war on; a world war between those who are out for themselves and those who believe in service. Its i straight-out fight to determine whether we ha\e a country or not, whether we have a Constitution or not, whether the decent people of America rule or not. Prohibition is our battle —and a major engagement it i S —i n that war. I have no doubt of the outcome all along the line. “Who is for Prohibition repeal? I don’t seem to recognise, among our noted repealers, any names that are representative of the service ideal in business or in politics, or in any other walk of life. I don’t see any great associations of mothers or wives calling for the return of the Saloon. The accents of the wet language are not American. No on ' who knows the trend of our people could be for repeal. That i 3 one reason why the wet patter has never interested me. There is nothing noble or durable behind it. The 'me first’ crowd don’t disturb me in the least. Prohibition in the Constitution is notice that we are going to remove another disease from our country, and I expect to live to see the work fully accomplished.’Henr> Ford, in the “Christian Herald.’’
