THE ATMOSPHERE IS CLEARING The result of the referendum election has finally soaked in and the public has been satisfied that an attempt was made to sell a gold brick xo all unsuspected buyers. Many Innocent per­ sons were roped in by false claims and. made to believe that prohibition enforcement was at stake in Ohio. The dry-for- profit politicians have been left in an embarrasing position and will be looked upon in the future with more or less suspicion as to sincerity. , A staggering blow was administered the Ohio Anti-Saloon League politicians when the “Clipsheet”, a regular publication sent out by the Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals, of the Methodist Church, with headquarters in Wash­ ington, D. C„ under date of Nov, 21, had the following to say: 4<In Ohio, it seekia that the Anti Saloon League did approve a measure Involving the fee system of compensating Justices of the Peace. That system is in bad odor-all over the United States and i f we are not mistaken the voters are prepared to reject It whenever it,is found on the ballot. The rural dry districts of Ohio joined with the cities in condemning the plan. Once again we will say, just by.way of illustration and not to sioze An op­ portunity of expressing a» opinion-on matters on which we are no t perfectly informed, that it is probable that we would have voted with, the hundreds of thousands of so-called wet Ohio voters who will certainly once again strjkfe heavily a t the liqupr - interests a t the first opportunity,” ' It has been contended for the past five years that the Ohio branch of the Anti Saloon League was not the organization of ten years, ago fighting against odds to win for prohibition, That the present organization has meddled in other legislation, there can be no denial, “Lobby interests have united at Columbus, good, bad and indifferent, and much legislation has been passed by this combination, that has been not only against public pol­ icy but much to the profit of the utility interests, The work of the last legislature, due to lobby control, stands as a shining disgrace, to the state and is not only reflected in the result bn the referendum but from criticism leveled at the Ohio League leaders. The Christian Century, a religious publication in Chi­ cago, is very pointed in its criticism of the Ohio League as fol­ lows: • ' “The Christian Century recommended a thorough house-cleaning asking, a change in the personal of the league leadership. In ■ working for' th e1Marshall bill, the Anti Saloon League was act- jpg a t the instance^ of Ohio churches which compose the mem- - - bership. Dr. E, J, Moore, state superintendent, called together ’the trustees who represent the churches and after a lengthy dis- - cussion they decided that since the referendum had been brought -' up by the liquor interests, they should uphold the b ill 1 • V*„ ‘ -<Il , ' ’ . . ’ , ' ^ r , , - Rev. Charles L. Debow, pastor -of the F irst M. E. church, ' , Cleveland, charged that th e ' League; did not act fairly on the ' Marshall hill. The hill had some bad provisions and^the, league should have been- honest cn,ough to admit these weaknesses, ,In~ - $teqd it kep t Still about them ,. I am greatly dissatisfied witn the <■ Anti Saloon Lepgue though my church is a part of it and has ; ; - tried to be "co-operative." > That the: League played under cover and kept circumstan­ ces and many facts from members of 'the board which repre­ sented the churches, is admitted. The -League never, related how the Marshall bill was passed". It did not. inform the trus­ tees that Senator Bender, a known dry leader, and the^Automo- bile clubs had already announced that they would seek a refer­ endum following fhe passage .of the bill. The trustees were kept in ignorance of what had been done and in that way ap­ proved what had been proposed. The League was very carp-, ful to keep in the dark the*plan of the organised lobbyists to pass only certain bills and kill others. Wet and dry lobbyists, utility lobbyists, rail lobbyists^ evelry kind of a lobbyist that had •any amount or money at his disposal had a part in forming the legislative program. The League has not and cannot make a denial of/the legislative .control. The churches of Ohio should how make a .demand for a house-c’eaning such as the Christian Century suggests. The only comment from Ohio Anti Saloori League head­ quarters concerning the criticism of the Chicago religious pub­ lication, is from F. L. Dustman, editor of the American Issue, He Contends: *>' , “Fight for the bill was urged’by the trustees of the Ohio Anti- Salooh League, when about COof them, representing churches in ■ Ohio, met in Columbus and discussed the merits of the hill. Their action revealed the attitude of the churches and the state league leaders couldn't do anythirig^but back the bill.” » The state of Ohio is absolutely under ‘the control of the utility interests. The utility crowd, has employed the best brains in the world to protect its interests and push its program re­ gard less^ the desires of the public. Years ago the saloon in­ terests Coupled up with big business and the two stood hand in hand. Today the utility crowd works hand in hand with the League, politicians^ While the league poses as a defender of the public morals, it winks at the utility crowd passing legisla­ tion that permits unjust charges on the part of the large utility companies. The public is becoming more and more acquainted " with what has happened in Columbus the last two legislative sessions. Much of the re-action was reflected, in the referen­ dum' vote. The League should express itself on the plan of en­ dorsing candidates for the legislature to the dry voters of Ohio, that have been picked by the utility lobbyists subject to the League's approval.

God did for this nnticjji wlmt He did for no other nation In th£ history of, the world. He evidenced’ It when He' assigned the boundaries • of Israel’s Inheritance (see Num, 3-1:1-13). He gathered out the stones when the Cuuaunites ' were exterminated The choicest vine which was planted therein was the isnielitish nation which had gone through the disci­ plinary process In Egyptian .bondage He built tt tower in It when under David Jerusalem was made Its dip ital city. '2. The obligation of the nation (v. tt). Tlie purpose, of a' vineyard is to hear fruit. The, object of the husbandman in planting a vineyard and nurturing it IS that -it- might hear trull. The purpose of God in the selection and the blesslng'of the lsru$lfttoh nattm* was that It might bring forth fruit to HIS glory. 3„ It bore only wild grapes (v. 4) 4.

Which Brought Rain to the Nation (vv S-2,‘1)^ 1 ' Tlie causes of this destnietioi, are presented under six woes, ea--li 'woe pronounced against a iHii-iivi.tor s i» \ 1. Monopoly mid oppression of the poor (w. $- 10 ). The crime against which the. first *’ woe was ' denounced Is- that of the' avaricious grasping after propom which leads to the acinipdihrtkn of wealth in the hands of the few "Join­ ing house to lintn'o” and "laying .field to field" means Hie s:n Of uu* greedy monopolist who in the bgrtcultural district takes the form of the land grabber, in tin: 'commercial centers, the form of Hie big men crushing out the small Ones. 2. Dissipation CW, U-l7).,/ ‘ The sin 'here denounced is drunk­ enness. Several features are connect­ ed with this one sin. (1) Drinking made the life business' of some (v. m . They .get up early and continue un­ til late at night,' until their whole being is iqtlamod. (2) The effort to give their hellish business a show of reliuenienf (v. 12) This is why pleasing music Is heard pouring forth from the dens of In fnmy over onr hind. (3) Blindness to God’s warnings and judgments (v. 32) Ttielr drinking and dissipation ren­ dered them Insensible to the dealing' of Providence. (4) God’s Judgments for such sins (vv. 13-37). V They went Into cuptlvlty. The Im­ mediate cuuso assigned Is Ignorance, but it Is a willful Ignorance for which they, are held responsible. They not only go into captivity, but there is great mortality among those who drink (v. 14). Tim records' every­ where show n much higher death rate among drinking men. Drinking de­ grades nil classes (v. 15) The coun­ try itself wus made n 'waste (vv. 1.9, II)J. So daring do they become that they defy tlie Judgments of' tlie Al­ mighty (v. 19), 3. Moral confusion (v, 20), Tills woe Is pronounced. against those who try to ftdjnst moral condi­ tions to suit their sensual appetites. 4. Conceit (v, 23). The fifth woo is pronounced against the sin of self-conceit. .Many today have became so affected by sin that they are unable to make moral dis­ criminations. Having a fuise estimate of their own wisdom they plan and act without reference to God 5. Perversion of Justice (vv. 22, 23), The sixth woe is denounced against those who are in places of justice ns fudges. Because of their lack of ‘ moral discrimination, and because of desire for temporal gain they cause Justice to miscarry.
