PHYSICIAN IS NOW REAL BARTENDER Rev.

Dr. C. H. Rust Scores Recent Beer Rifling in Sermon Prelude BLAMES MITCHELL PALMER Declares Late Attorney General's Ruling Opens Gateway to Indulgence Asserting that A. Mltche 1 Palmer, former attorney general under the Wil son administration, has dismissed the burly, red nosed, uncouth and vulgar beer s'lnger who once stood behind the bar and In his place put the scientific, scholariy, brainy and respectable physician.

Rev. C. H. P.ust called upon the medical fraternity to be true to the American sentiment regarding thli business of dispensing liquor and to do their duty like loyal American cltl zens, in a prelude, "Are the Physicians to Be the New Bartenders." to the sermon delivered by the pastor at 1m manuel Baptist church last night Dr. Eust spoke as fol owe: The evidence is unmistakable that the liquor business Is not dead yet, even If we have put It in its casket and lowered It into Its grave.

The trouble Is that the desire for alcoholic liquors is deeply seated In the natures of millions of our people ana we coula not kill or bury these appetites in a day or a year. It is go ng to take a long time, A. Mitchell Palmer is but the evidence of this fact. He Is one with the liquor gang. He simply records how much liquor appetite there is in the people of our country.

They flooded him with their requests for beer, wine and whiskey. He could not stem the tide and therefore moved with the current. His interpretation Is nothing but the express.on of the desire of the people who want liquor. The way was stopped up. The gates which held the boose back were locked.

But he has now opened up other gates. Has told the physicians that they are to control them and grants them tho opportunity to Jet out all the beer and wine and whiskey that people want through the scientific prescription The question now is, what will tne physicians do? Palmer tells them that they may be the nation's bartenders now if they desire to please their pa trons. Palmer has made tr.em an licensed bartenders if they desire so tu be. Ho has dismissed the burly, red nosed beer slinger who once stood behind the bar and in his place he puts the scientific, scholarly, brainy and respectable physician. He says to one and all who wish alcoholic liquors.

go not to the saloon, go not to the wine parlor, pass these all by. Go now. to the office tt the American phys.clan and tell him what you want and bribe him to give you his conscience and soul and character and American patriotism, while he wr.tes out the prescription that you may be served with beer as a tonic and by the case and wine the same way and whiskey by the bottle. But there are physicians who win not be caught in the trap. They have too much honor and too much loyalty to American law to make this prohl bition amendment a farce and to play intn the hands of the old saloon crowd We can trust some of these noble men and women.

We know that they will not accent the position of bar tenders. All honor to them and we will not give up the fight for law enforce ment and humanity best good. Adair Hildebrand Sell Fords AJv ZIMMERMAN TO VISIT STATE CAPITOL TODAY Harrv E. Apgar and R. A.
