York, superintendent of the '. Indiana Anti-Salo<Th League, spoke at the Mennonite church here Sun- ' day evening. 5 Supt. York said in part: "It has ’ | been repeatedly demonstrated that I no system of control or license can lever succeed in satisfactorily solv- ' ing the liquor question, and we he--1 lieve that in all controversies, rel- ! ative to the merits of any proposled substitutes for prohibition that I dry organizaztions should not . choose between such systems but t let the responsibility for the evils 1 which must follow, rest upon those , who brought such conditions into > existence.” "We think our own Board of Trus- • tees stated our attitude correctly when they said: ‘We are not' through fighting. The nature ofthe enemy we struggle against renders inaction impossible. * * * We shall, by protest, explanation and demonstrations gathered from the acts of the liberals, take the| word temperance, and place it on the side where it has ever belonged. It does not and never has and never will belong to that company ever seeking to deluge the land with wine, beer and whiskey, and (Ii a t as individual protestauts against the prevailing spirit of the! day we educate and prepare ourselves with facts from current life about the workings of the present liquor lawlessness thereby securing ammunition to use at a more favorable day, and that we keep in a good humor, that our speech be balShced, and that we rely upon facts as argument.’ ’’ Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lammiman and daughter Nancy May and Mrs. May Havice of Fort Wayne were Sunday evening guests of Mrs. W.
