Reply Of Mr.. Ward.

Church. City
Ny Dear Mr. Morgan: Since the "a.
ceipt Of yonr open letter Of AUGUST %
1913, directed to Mr. Hastings. and my.
self have been engaged With matters
OF greater Importance than discussion
Of my personal behavior can he and
nave not until now had respite or leisure
To read or consider your letter with care
The expressions of regard for my char.
acter. moral aud mental. contained in
your letter are. need scarcely saw rr
ciprocated. My regard for YOU and vour
personality and motives is edualiy hioh
and sincere. Without deroaation iron,
that regard ] may be permitted TO saw
that In my Judgment your position a.
expressed in your letter is unsonnd and
without support either Of reason. morals
or the ethics Of the relation of LAWYER
to bis client or the cmmuntv.
Your major premise seems 10 be that
the Hazel law has some quality Of sacred
ness or morality which differentiates Il
from other laws This ior premise
reject. ! agree that the traffic In intoxi.
eating liquors as beverage is an evil.
| also agree that such traffic should be
outlawed 80 far as possible
Whether absolute prohibition is wise
remedy or not is too extensive subject
for letter like this NY personal knowl
edge as boy and Young man of the
working Of prohihitory laws in my ma
tive state Of Vermont would lead me to
doubt the wisdom or availability Of such
a remedy
Whether the Hazel law itself is wise
measure or not has been considerably
discussed by thinking people throughout
the state. There are many who doubt
the practical or theoretical wisdom OF
the law that forbade a citizen Of Kent or
Sussex to take ont Of New Castle county
into dry territory more than one gallon
al time and which at the same time
permits the same citizen 10 bring intoxi-
eating liquor by the boatload from New
Jersey or by the dry load from Mary
| land or Pennsylvania into the same dry
territory. When its discriminatory fea
tures and operation and its possible cf
feet upon the vote upon resubmissior
of the local option question in the tive
4 lower counties are considered there i
some room for honest difference Of opin

What counsel for Grier did was to

question the existence of any law

suggested that the Hazel law. under
which the defendant was charged. was
VI TACT not law at all. because an

II Is essentially wrong to punish men

within my conception of your char
acter, that you should be willing 10
rest on the idea, indefenslbic by
teacher OF morals. that It Is nroper
moral or Just 10 do a wrong In order
mote the public welfare or even the
cause OF prohibition to perpetrate
such manifest injustice.
In order that such constitutional
question could be fairly and fully
presented case was prepared and
set forth as case stated. The facts
Of the case az they could have been
proven were embodied in such case
stated This Is by no means an uu-
usual course Of procedure IN order
10 settle the constitutional question
case covering such facts was cs
sential Unless you are prepared to
stand for the position that men
should be punished without legal
warrant OF law you cannot censure
