CENTRAL W.C.T.U. s SLAPS GILUOM . (Continued From Page 1) ciuotation from Secretary of State Frederick E. Schovtemeier in reply to the question, “What would you do if a loved one was ill and the doctor prescribed whisky?” Schortemeier’s reply was, “I'd cross that bridge when I came to it.” Shumaker Scornful This reply and the failure of Governor Jackson to make any public statement or to give a dried reply to a letter from the anti-saloon superintendent have met with Rev. Shumaker’s scorn. -“These men should take a stand," Shumaker asserted. “They have consciences. telling them what is right and wrong. Let them heed and speak out.” The Shumaker letter to Jackson followed one sent the Governor by Cllliom pointing out that illegally procured whisky had to be resorted to to save the life of Mrs. Jackson, and the Gilliom childVen, and recommending that the Governor take a stand for modification to permit medicinal whisky. Same Reply Shumaker asked the Governor regarding the charge that he had procured whisky and used it* and his stand on the Wright dry law. lie got the same reply as did others. “There will be no statement to make on the subject.” Pointing out that Jackson had Anti-Saloon League support, Shumaker said that it was only fair that he explain his action. “I cannot understand such silence,” Shumaker said. Comment Rev. . John Reach Straton, New York, on the Gilliom letter was that “they should let their loved ones die before breakirtg the law.” No “Inhuman” Shumaker docs not support such an “inhuman” stand. “Surely the Anti-Saloon League is supposed to be. humanitarian,” he commented. “This office would never be a party to taking a life.” He. told of once using whisky in his own family, many years ago, when It was prescribed by a doctor. [ "it proved anything but a good remedy,” Jic said. “The W right law

permits alcohol, and I do not see why any physician could not have used that.” Attorney Tells Story How he saved the life of his son, dying with pneumonia, with whisky was described by Frank G. Holden, attorney, 509 Odd Fellow building. He told of saving the life of his sister with whisky and of how his own life tvas saved in the flu epidemic with similar aid. "The greatest curse of the present day is deceit, hypocrisy and intolerance,” Holden said. “I am bitterly opposed to saloons of any kind, but I am also opposed to that assinine law called the bone dry law. I am obeying it simply because ft is written on the statute books. Let us be men and women once more, ready to face the truth and deal with it like honest men and women should do." Detroit Wants G. 0. P. Bii rutted Prrxn WASHINGTON, May 28.—A Michigan delegation, headed by Governor Fred W. Green, urged President Coolidgo Friday to use his influence to have the 1928 -national bonvention in Detroit.

IT CAN BE DONE Most successful men attribute their progress primarily to systematic saving.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Mayor of Nobiesville Declares Gilliom and Governor Jackson Were Wrong in Getting Liquor for Sick Members of Family.

By Eldora Field In seven Indiana towns visited, in north and south directions— In interviews with leading citizens of those towns, including bankers doctors, judges, lawyers, merchants, thinkings persons of, varying political and religions persuasion— I -found only one man who absolutely, coldly, inexorably condemned Governor Jackson's recent action of giving his wife whisky when her life hung in the balance and physicians said whisky-was needed to save her, and Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom's action in urging a change in the State dry law' to permit use of whisky for medicine. This man was the mayor of Xoblesville. He is filling the unexpired term of another and his future political life will depend upon his pulling votes from whatever stronghold he thinks they're stored. He claims to reflect the sentiment of many others, yet Julius Joseph, mayor of Nobiesville, alone, of dozens of thinking, intelligent, successful persons interviewed, said: "I condemn both Jackson and Killiom. I positively condemn what they did, what they said and what they've left unsaid. Even if Jackson's wife's life hung in the balance, I think he should not have done what he did. I think Gilliom should not have helped him, no matter what the circumstance.

His Own Situation “I don't say this without realizing the situation that confronted Jackson. My wife has had heart trouble for five years. In that time she has again and again been at the point where some would say whisky would have saved her life. I never dreamed of, and would not have given it to her, no matter what the outcome,” and Joseph glanced at a largo, unsmiling portrait of Calviji Coolidgo which hung on the wall of his shop (Joseph is a tailor). In the same town two physicians had just expressed the opinion that they thought a law which refused a dying person a saving drug, though we call it by the name of whisky, is too stringent and should be modified. They were Dr. J. D. Sturdevant and Dr. S. W. Hook. Here, too, a leading merchant, John Sperry, said, “I don't believe any man with human feelings would have done differently from Governof Jackson." Another Nobiesville man. Frank Head, county highway superintendent, said: “Would I allow anything to stand in the way of saving my wife's life, call it quinine or call it whisky? No. and 1 would have done the same as Jackson did under like circumstnaces.”

Sees Annoyances Dr. Hook explained why many physicians \fho would like the privilege of using alcohol in the treatment of certain diseases, such as pneumonia and typhoid, where it has undoubted value, yet hesitate to declare themslv-ts. “It would make us sort of licensed bootleggers,” he said. “It would create difficult situations because pressure would be brought to bear by those who would not need whisky. In Illinois, where each physician is allowed forty pints.a year for prescription purposes, it is no easy matter to wisely dispense the whisky as a drug.” Emphatic for Change At Kokomo, J. E. Fredrick, sec-retary-manager of the Kokomo Steel and Wire Company, and State Chamber of Commerce president, was very emphatic in his opinion that the dry-bone law of Indiana should be modified. “In the face of progress, we cannot legislate against one science—the medical, any more than we can against any other science," he said. “In the laboratory, we can obtain needed alcohol. Why should physicians, in the fight for suffering humanity, be denied any weapon that their, judgment dictates?” “Os course, there wuold be abuse of the law if it were modified. Bound to be. There is abuse of any law by those who are so disposed, yet we cannot let that possible abuse interfere with justice and common* sense. “We don't abandon the manufacture of firearms because murder can he done with a gun. Wc do not abolish autos because criminals use them to make quick getaways. We allow the use of morphine by physicians. Why in the name of common sense do we interferee with the physician’s weapons when he fights for a life, just because that weapon, whisky, is erroneously used and trafficked'by certain elements?” Banker for Modification Charles Shenion, cashier of the Citizens National Bank, was equally emphatic. “I certainly favor a modification of the bone dry law of Indiana. When it makes self-respect-ing citizens, in their effort to save humarf life, law breakers and bootleggers, it's high time something should be done. “I would have acted just as Governor Jackson did—sany man who loves his wife or his family would have done as he did. I have talked with numbers 'of physicians wher have told me that they don’t want to be farced into bootlegging but

that they are handicapped by being unable to use whisky in the treatment of certain diseases.” Deems Law Ridiculous Frank McCarty, president of the Citizens’ National Bank agreed with Shemon. “I think the present bonedry law is ridiculous,” he said. “I don't drink myself—have no possible desire to do so, so this opinion has no personal tinge, but I certainly would have done just what Jackson did. The law should be sufficiently modified that medicinal whisky could be used when the attending physician requires it in his treatment.” “If I had to go to the penitentiary for so doing, I would certainly have broken the law which involved a possible death of my wife,” said K. P. Kingsbury, manager of .the Thomas Dye Lumber Company of Kokomo. “I certain approve of what Jackson did. Although whisky is, I believe. an economic menace, yet the law should be sufficiently modified to allow its use when needed. "Fear that a modification of the bone-dry law of Indiana would get out of control, is an unfounded one. Narcotics are controlled by laflu The Harrison narcotiv law has beautifully taken care of the Hllct dispensing of narcotics. Some such law could be worked out In refert|nee to whisky which would make it possible for physicians to use it as they would any other drug.”

* Cites Drug Success Dx\ Nathaniel Hamilton, .< leading physician of Kokomo, also referred to the Harrison narcotic law as a successful one. “If through such a law the dispensing of morphine—a deadly drug and the use of which can become one of the most terrible of habits Is successfully controlled. Os course, the dispensing of whisky, to be used as a drug, can l>e controlled by proper legislation,” he said. "There are diseases such as pneumonia, typhoid, and conditions following surgical operations, and phases of pregnancy, when no other drug is as good as this condemned one, whisky. Certainly a physician is handicapped by not being able to use it. Certainly it s a bad law we have in Indiana which causes law abiding citizens to feel that they have to transgress the law in order to save life. “It is true that some physicians differ as to the curative properties of alcohol. However, there is a difference in system. l ? of medicines, yet we do not therefore contend that some system should he thrown out, and if a physician feels that alcohol Is really an effective weapon, he should not have his hands tied.” ‘ Auburn Gets Order III) l llitol /Vi >•* AUBURN, Ind., May 28.—The Saf-T-Cab Corporation has placed orders with the Auburn Automobile Company for 225 taxicabe to be delivered before July 1, it was announced here Friday.
