Evils Of Liquor Stressed Before U. S. Court Jury Judge Webb Deploes Wet Tendency Says That Liquor Interests Trying To Buy American Sonin On Tux Pin. “The liquor interests are trying to ’ purchase the souls of America upon promise to pay ISO or 200 mil lion dollars in taxes Into our treas uries," Federal Judge E. Y. Webb declared in his charge to the Unit ed States court grand Jury here this morning. After outlining and describing various offenses against the Feder al government, Judge Webb, ardent prohibitionist and co-author of one of the first antl-liquoi laws in the United States, the Webb-Kcnyon act- launched Into a forceful de nunciation of the attempt to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment and legalize the sale of beer. Nothing Good. "There are 50 to 60 spoken lan guages and dialects In the world to day, and in none of them will you find a single sentence attempting to show any good in liquor or liquor traffic,” Judge Webb declared. “In stead whiskey ha* blighted more homes and withered and ruined more men and broken more hearts than all pestilences combined. Now they are attempting to bring It back after good men and women have attained a measure of aucoeas In fighting the evil for more than 1, 000 years.” The Federal Jurist in his forceful plea to Christian churches and peo ple to fight repeal briefly outlined the history of prohibition. He ar gued that it Is poor logic to say that prohibition should be repealed merely because bootleggers still ex ist. It would be Just as wise, he said, to do away with laws against mur der and larceny Just because mur ders and stealing continue. “I shudder to think of the day," he said with emotion, "when the radio and the periodicals will con tinuously attempt to impart an in sidious propaganda which would tend to move bur young people to take up the beer and whiskey habit.” In his talk of aoDroxlmatelv an hour, the Jurist quoted statements from numerous leaders showing the evils of whiskey, referring to Bibli cal quotations, Henry Grady’s re marks anti others. Hr also mention ed the fact that propaganda to cre ate sentiment for repeal has been on foot for many years, stating that few moving pictures arc shown in which men and women are not shown drinking. His denunciation of repeal, cou pled with plea for church and dry organizations to fight as never be fore. was delivered before a large class of students from the Shelby High school in addition to the pack ed court room of spectators and of ficials.

Attorney Ernest Warren, of Gastonia, rep resents both Carpenter and Morris and stated at ff,)on that he was ready to take up the case. It was Intimated that he might have as sisting counsel, perhaps.
