GARDEN OF EDEN AND PROHIBITION

Milwaukee Mayor Defends Traffic In Liquor; OPPOSES A PEORIA MAN Cold Water Advocate Declares Lord Instituted Doctrine He Argues For When Adam Was Told Not to Eat the Apple—Wet Champion Replies That the Fruit Was Devoured And That the Case Cited Proves That Prohibition Doesn’t Prohibit. Peoria, 111., May 21.—Arguing along the lines that prohibition does not prohibit, Mayor David S. oßse of Milwauhlblt Mayor David S. Rose of Milwaukee met Dan R. Sheeen before 2,000 persons at the Coliseum here on the liquor side of the liquor question. Sheen urged the protection of the homes, of the schools, of the churches and of the rising generation against the evils of the liquor traffic. Half of the criminals in the penitentiaries, he said, were there through the effects of alcoholic stimulants. The Almighty established prohibition first in the Garden of Eden, the speaker maintained, when Adam was prohibited from eating an apple. Mayor Rose urged that the’ Almighty’s mandate regarding the apple did not prohibit Adam from eating it, and argued that since that time th'e laws against the use of intoxicating beverages had been no more successful. The Milwaukeean quoted scripture to support the theory that Noah had been a drunkard after leaving the ark and. that the Savior drank wine as a beverage. He closed as follows: “So long as the government undertakes to rule moral conduct by force, so long will the spirit of American manhood assert itself and rebel against an unjust interference with the liberty which belongs to us in the guarantee of our constitution.” In his closing argument, Sheen attacked moral conditions as they prevailed in Milwaukee.
