J. B. Was Buried
Alive, Asserts
Fremont Pastor
Rev. E. D. Hull Warns Metho
dist Conference They Must
Keep on Guard Against
Liquor Interest.
John Barleycorn' was dragged
from the grave and held up to the
contempt of the Methodists attend
ing the Nebraska annual conference
Saturday night by Rev. E. D. Hull
of Fremont The victim's pulse was
' tound to be fluttering feeblv, and
there was still a teeble kick in one i
U-j. Dr. Hull warned the pastors
that J. B. had been buried alive, and
that the greatest peril for prohibi- I
tion was a false sense of security.
"Nfo law is enforced unless it is i
backed by strong public sentiment," i
he declared. "Brother ministers, it
is time to warn your people to be on i
1 A . J 1
sumu. i very present uangrr is
lax enforcement of the law. If the
federal officers in Omaha, Lincoln
iiiici Fremont would execise the
same vigilance in hunting out and
punishing the secret makers of the
home brew with the deadly kick that
thcy'used in trapping the moonshin
ers of the southern mountains, the
last vestige of the liquor traffic
v.ould be wiped out in a year.
Women Will Aid.
"The amendment putting the hal
. lot in the hands or our American
women shields the country from
falling back into drunkenness, and
leads the way toward a saloonless,
sober world.
"There can be no compromise, and
it is the duty of the ministers to
continue to educate the people to the
evil.; of this liquid poison. My vote
will always be cast against any man
who is on friendly terms with those
who wish to repeal thisVgreat law,
whether he be a, senator from this
city or a man seeking election to the
White House.".
Using "Slush Fund."
Mr. Hull declared that a slush
fund of the brewers and distillers
still was beinpr used. He castigated
the moving pictures for slams on
prohibition, and predicted that the
prosperity and efficiency of the
United States would be so increased
by the dry law that nil other nations
would have, to adopt it in self-defense
in order to be able to compete.
Dr. Hnll spoke in place of Dr. Clar
ence True Wilson, who was unable
to come.-
The conference, which is being
held in the First Methodist Epis
copal church, Twentieth and Daven
port streets, will end Monday.

gram September 21.
"Back in mountainous, secluded
little Wales a large part of the popu

ists have always looked with admira
tion on the rugged, . broad-shouldered
' Welsh miners, who spend
from 10 to 12 hours below the sur
face each day, for they are a happy
lot.
Perhaps it is the underground
work that has endowed them with
vocal ability, but in any event, the
tourist who is so fortunate as to
hear a native Welshman sing Welsh
songs ' usually is convinced he has
heard the best in music.
Hence the announcement made
yesterday that the Mountain Ash

at the Omaha Auditorium Tuesday
evening, September 21, has created
keen interest in Omaha musical cir
cles. Led By Glyndwr Richards.

cessful tour oj the Welsh choir, and
it will arrive in Omaha after win
ning approbation in the largest
cities ojf this country.

chosen with great care, and accord
ing to eastern critics there are no

Sarpy County Roads are
Among Best in Nebraska
Sarpy county no longer need suf
fer the quips of boosters of other
counties regarding the condition of
Sarpy county roads, according to C.

Mr. Kelly declares Sarpy county
roads are in excellent condition and
manifestly the result of intelligent
effort toward efficient maintenance.
"Bridge guard rails and guard
posts have been painted white," said
Mr. Kelly, "and all dangerous cor
ners have been improved by remov
ing of cornstalks which blocked the
motorist's view. I have done a great
deal of motoring in Nebraska and I
believe Sarpy county roads on the
whole the best in this part of the
