Lutheran Official Denies Belief in
Principles "Underlying Vol

River Forest, 111., June 21. Dr.
W. C. Kohn, president of Concordia
college, and an official in the Mis
souri synod of the Lutheran church,
toda denounced what he termed "the
absolute criminal practice of pro
hibition officers in shooting down
innocent citizens," and declared that
"we do not believe in the principles
that underline the Volstead laws."
Dr. Kohn, who is attending the
thirty-fourth triennial conference of
the Evangelical Lutheran synod, ex
pressed his views in a statement
prepared for publication.
"The members of the Missouri
synod of the Lutheran church be
lieve that since the Volstead laws
are in effect that the should be per-

sonally observed," Dr. Kohn said,
"but we do not agree with the abso
lutely criminal practices of prohibi
tion officers in shooting down inno
cent citizens. Nor do we believe in
the principles that underlie the Vol
stead laws.
Cites the Bible.
"The Bible does not forbid the
moderate use of beer and wines. Why
should a government or an individ
ual?" Dr. Kohn added that while his
church is not in sympathy with the
Volstead law, it believes that hon
est laws should be enforced. There
must be laws for the restraint of
criminals that violate the code that
by long usage is accepted as good
law, and there must be means of
enforcing such laws, or else they
are but scraps of paper, he said.
"But such enforcement must be
.legal in itself," he said. "The dry
shootings are sheer murder.
Appropriations Made.
"Killing transgressors of the Vol
stead act without a fair trial is un
biblical, unamerican and uncivil
ized," he said. "It is a criminal act
to execute a man without a hearing.
You may shoot a prisoner for trying
to escape, but dry killings savor too
much of execution. Such unlawful
killings are equal to murder."

Last night this city and immedi
ate vicinity received a very heavy
rain that came shortly after eight
o'clock and in the period from 8:25
to 9:30 an inch of rain was record

of the rain was reported beyond the
washing of the dirt roads on the
hillsides over over the city and which
will necessitate the expenditure of
considerable time and money to place
in shape as the roads had just re
cently been dragged and placed in
very good shape.

FIRE AS A COMPETITOR
Harry C. Shearer, Secretary of the
Fire Prevention Committee, Detroit
Board of Commerce, makes a strong
argument against fire waste.
Detroit, Michigan, has just been
announced as the winner of the grand
award of the Fire Waste Contest held
each year under the auspices of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States. Mr. Shearer regards his work
against fire as a sound economic ser-
vice to the city of Detroit and the na-
tion.
"Fire is competition to merchants
and manufacturers. For instance,
everv time a drv eoods or grocery
store burns there is not only a loss
to the community but some manufac-
turers and wholesalers in large cities
.suffer because this store has been
their customer. Suppose that a man
owns his own home and is contem
plating the purchase of an expensive
radio, new furniture, rugs, or re-
decorating that house, and it burn3.
Immediately tne mercnants in tne
town lose that business. When you filed late Tuesday against Mrs. Alex-
stop to think that thousands of:ander Pantages, wife of the vaude -
homes and stores are burning thru-! ville magnate, and a warrant issued
out the country each year, you can
see the competition that the stores 1
have with fire. I believe that these
last statements I have made could
be elaborated upon with further
study and statistics could be- gather
ed together which would provide a
new attack upon the fire losses in
this country. When these facts are
brought home to the merchants and
manufacturers they , will be able to
see the enormous amount of business
they are losing and should join us
in our fire problem."
Eventually stock fire insurance and
every civic organization will work to
prevent fire. A fire will be consid
ered as a community catastropne.
When losses have been reduced, It
will be possible for companies to ex
pend their entire efforts In prevent
ing fire under some sucn plan as
elevator liability Insurance is now
opreated. When such a day comes.
the economic structure of America'
will be strengthened and the individ
ual prices on combustible products
or commodities reduced.
