tOOZE AND tOSINESS
President Sandefer Discusses Beer
For Electorate Youth of County
By J. D. Sftiriefer
I note that the electorate of Taylor
County ia jflvtn the opportunity of
expressing itself on May 14 on the
question of whether or not it wants
-y public sanction to put 4 per cent
beer within the reach of those who
desire it in this county that as I re-
call outlawed beer and liquor more
than 30 years. ago.
Sixty years ago I Bigned alittle
pledge in the presence of my now
sainted mother and a white haired
Methodist circuit -rider to the- effect
that I would never touch beer nor any
other intoxicating liquor except upon
the recommendation of a physician.
There is nothing in my past life that
gives me more joy than the conscious-
ness of having kept that pledge in-
tact. I wish our citizens and espe-
cially our young friends who know
but little if anything of the evils of
the liquor traffic could catch a vision
of this type of example before the
boys and girls of our country and in.
so doing be conscious of the fact that
they would be rendering a service that
in later years would give them gen-
uine pride.
Of course this election like all the
others has a slogan "beer and busi
ness." I wish those who are leading
in this movement could grasp the idea
that beer and booze never paid their
way financially or in finished prod-
ucts since the beginning of time. I
wish these same friends could under-
stand that these evils have. wrought
more havoc in the civilized world than
all the wars and famines and pesti-
lences that have infested the earth.
That thought was first uttered by the
immortal Gladstone and later was
endorsed in substance by one of our
martyred presidents Abraham Lin-
coln. '
I will be excused for saying that
for nearly 30 years I have invested
my life in Abilene and the West in an
effort to help build -here a Christian
institution where young men and
women could receive the highest val-
ues not noly in intellectual but in spir-
itual culture as well. With reference
to the business side of this question
I owe nobody any apology for saying
that I have seen between two and
three millions of dollars brought into
Abilene to promote and propagate the
above ideals. I can say without hesi-
tancy that f could not have been in-
strumental in helping to secure one
dollar of this money if I had said to
our patrons and benefactors that my
influence and that of my faculty mem-
bers would favor building a city
feunded upon a "beer and business"
slogan. I do not mean that I person-
ally have secured the amount of money
indicated above but I have had some
part in it and the good men associat-
ed with me during the years have had
a large part in that task. I do feel
that our friends in and out of Abi-
lene should know that some of the
leaders in education and religion in
Abilene have wrought for years on
the level of business Just as have
other business men. "
Recently I heard ITie well known
Homer Rhodehcaver in an address at
Lakeland Florida before several
thousand people from all over the
United States in which he stated that
a fact-finding committee at Washing-
ton had made an investigation of the
liquor situation in the United States
beginning with the adoption of the
18th amendment The investigation
revealed that the greatest period of
prosperity in our country's history
was Attained during the period in
which the 18th amendment was in ef-
fect. The committee found that lab-
oring people had more money in banks
and in savings accounts than ever be-
fore in our history; that we had
grown almost a generation of young
men and women who knew nothing of
the old saloon and the liquor business
which is now being bo manifested by
those who are attempting to dignify
the drink habit. The committee found
further that following the repeal of
the 18th amendment this nation spent
in the neighbornooa ox live uimons
of dollars for liquor and beer. The
speaker made the statement that if
these billions had been turned into
constructive channels the depression
would have been negligible that there
would have been no recession and
that we would not now be needing to
pour these billions of dollars t into a
"pump-priming" program to save the
nation frdm further travail.
This same distinguished lay leader
made the assertion that the shortest
route to normal recovery is to go back
to a program that will turn at least
most of tnese billions of dollars into
legitimate trade channels and in do-
ing so check the overflow that now
obtains in the Keetey institutes jails
penitentiaries insane asylums hospi-
tals and certainly check the devasta-
tion that our daily courts record in
the deaths directly or indirectly
caused by intoxicated driven of cars.
It is now argued that beer is a
"liquid food." I quote from "The
Brewery Age" of Chicago: "It is well
known to scientists' and food chemists
generally that beer brewed according
to ottr common practice contains no
Butrltkmal significant quantities of
any vitamins." "The Brewer's Year
book" J911 says; "Chemists and
brewers admit that practically the
food value of alcohol and even beer
is inconsiderable. The quantity nec-
essary to nourish the system would
be so large as to poison the system."
The American Medical Association
in 1011 says that "beer and alcohol
go together and the claims of alcohol
for respectful consideration have been
weighed and found wanting." Dr. F.
I. Curry said recently that a man of
average size requires at least two and
one-fourth ounces of protein dally
which may be supplied by four and
one-half pints of milk or sixty pints
of beer but that amount of beer con-
tains two pints of alcohol which would
be a fatal dose."
.There are those who say that beer
does not intoxicate. Testimony from
leading doctors and specialists of the
United States and Europe contradict
that statement. There has been in
Abllcno within the past week n high
school boy from another town where
beer is sold who was disgracefully in-
toxicated and had to be cared for by
I friends. This reference is not meant
to cause anyone embarrassment but
it is a fact that is less than .a week
old. This boy is some mother's son
who merits an environment where he
is not confronted constantly with the
temptation to drink beer.
I nm expressing the hope that those
leading In the movement to place beer
openly in Taylor County and in Abi-
lene will give due consideration to this
fact: A friend of German extraction
In another county where a state school
is located who was in favor of beer
nnd liquor realized suddenly the em-
barrassment it would caQse him to
urge his friends to send their sons nnd
daughters to a school located in a
town whero beer was so easily ob-
tained and changed his attitude en-
tirely and used his large influence to
help the school and religious people
of the city defeat the placing of beer
within the reach of boys and girls at-
tending one of the leading state in-
stitutions. In closing I want to say only this:
I challenge every voter in Taylor
County who is a Christian to pray
earnestly the night before this elec-
tion for. guidance from the Author
of all Christian ideals and to ask him-
self the question of which side Christ
would take in this' issue were he to
return to earth. If a voter honestly
feels that Christ's influence would be
on the' side of beer and liquor and if
he feels that he is setting the proper
example for his children and for his
neighbor's children by voting in favor
of beer then I have no further word
to him. My only ambition is to help
my city and my state and my coun-
try as best I may in creating an at
mosphero here and throughout the
land where it will be easier for sons
and daughters 'to do right nnd more
difficult for them to do wrong.

that will come later will be pretty
much taken up with studying for those
"fatal finals."
Just how many gallons of kerosene
or how many watts of electricity will
be consumed during this period will
perhaps remain a mystery. Many
courses that heretofore looked hope-
less will receive new life and students
will actually accomplish tho seeming
impossible as they .round up their
Jong overdue work in a feeble effort
to show some gain when they journey
homeward for a summer vacation.
Seniors are putting the finishing
touches to their eventful college days.
Freshmen are trying to consume last

We wonder how it feels to be kissed

Is it necessary to remind Rowland
Dow that he left his hat in Dr. Rich-
ardson's office after his two hour con-
ference? Or perhaps he's too busy
with Bessie Meece these days to think
of mere trifles such as hats!
I'vo always heard that one could

seen enough water around this earn-

what would they do when the gals go

to be called n moron just becnuso he
doesn't think along ccitnin lines.
Deep Rooted Opinions
Deeply Imbedded in every man's li
natuic thoio nro. sources fiom whenco
spring opinions thnt ho himself can-
not justify or explnln but ho is will-
ing to stand or fall by his code or
set of idcnN whether they bo man
mnde or God given. And for one to
ridicule this sfnndnnl is to make nn
enemy Instead of being n help to him.
It has been nbly said thai mnn Is
a composite of two men: One is nwnke
in the dark nnd the other Is asleep
in the light. Collcgo education should
onablo tho recipient to look with n
broader vision nnd with moio under-
standing upon tho world in its mael-
strom of conflicting ideas concerning
economic social and leligious prob-
lems and cnnblo that beneficial y to
contribute something to tho bettpr-
ment of these conditions in n world of
men machinery nnd heterogenous de-
sires nnd painful disillusionments.
Government Observation
Todny as never before in the his
tory of the world a student of govern-
ment and politics hns the unique privi-
lege of obseiving for himself all the
various forms of government nt work
in the world. The student should be
able to chooso nnd decide for himself
which form is the most successful nnd
strive to biing thnt stylo Into being
wherever he or sho may be. Tho col
lege boy or girl by choosing the light
things now and by doing the lesser
assignments well arc picparing them-
selves for the more serious tasks thnt
will be assigned Inter on in life.
The ability to think straight nnd
act right on every moral issue is n
factor that should never bo over-
looked if one is to bo true to the term
educated. Eveiy hlstotical or cur
rent fact is so propagandized so ns
to render it impossible for only tho
keenest minds to discern tho differ-
ence between fact and fiction. No
student should leave the sacred walls
of his Alma Mntcr without tho ter-
mination to properly evaluate every
motive and act of himself and his fel-
low men. "For there is n way that
secmeth light unto man but the end
thereof is death." These few woids
should serve ns n stntting point for
every student to begin with and pur-
sue to the end nnd if he or she does
the world will not only feel theMm-
print of their personality but will be
nblo to whisper back the ono word
that summniizes nil their attainments
