...sharp fight, too. Dan Moody, young Governor of Texas, sat with Bishop James Cannon Jr. of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Beside them were two Wilson Cabinet men, Josephus Daniels and Carter Glass.

By such sin fell empires, states and nations. Religion shudders at the wild orgy of immorality the situation forebodes. . . . Birth control is heralded because the poor . . . are largely responsible for defectives. Never was there cast . . . a more offensive insult.
