4 COMMON ERROR

tDes Moines Register and Leader.1
The Chicago Tribune TO make gooi
its contention that the Diggs-Cam-
inetti case strains the interstate COM
MERGE clause because il does not ap-
pear that the transportation of the
Warrington and Norris girls 10 Reno
was for purposes OF commercialize1
vice. falls into all sorts OF errors Of
reasoning.
One OF these. and i, is a most COM
mon error. altho all experience in the
United States has demonstrated tina:
il is an error. is that United States
authority can not be so effectively in
voked as state authority.
IL il most surprising Re" ire
quently this claim IS made. in view OF
the fact tina, il IS within the ohserva-
ton of everybody that national en-
forcement of Law is everywhere and
in ali cases more prompt and effec-
tive than state enforcement IN fact.
il is no. necessary 10 go beyond the
Diggs- C'amine.ti cases for illustration,
fer under national law the defendants
have been prosecuted and convicted,
while the state law which the Tribune
assumes is enough. has not even been
invoked.
Wha, pure food laws. what liquor
laws. what railroad regulation. is en-
forced Do the vendors of Illegal
drinks neglect To take out their gov
eminent revenue licenses. no matter
how carelessly they may snap their
fingers IN the face of state liquor
lawso a
1t may be set down as safe prop
osition that the larger the turisdic-
ton the more effective the enforce
ment of law. The state is a better
law enforcer than the minor sueo-
division of the state. and the nation
than the state.
The real reason why all such acts
of ne ,ionai regulation as the Mann
white slave act are bitterly resisted
is because those who have been SIN
ming with impunity before suddenly
find tina, local prejudice and local
influence are nos longer enough, and
they are caught In 1.-THE tolls.
