BARRING LIQUOR
FROM STATE is
PROHIBITIONISTS'
FIRST OBLIGATION.
Watkins Outlines Program
For Year at Meeting
Executive Board
NOiLIQUOR FOR
USE AS BEVERAGE
Condemns North Dakota
Footballs As "LaWless"
Institutions"

F. L. Watkins, superintendent of
the North Dakota Law Enforcement
league, declared in his annual report
before the executive board and made
public today that to bar liquor from
entrance into the state is the most
useful effort that can be made to en-
force the prohibition law and that
action along this line is to be the
first work within the state.
The program, as outlined by the
league superintendent for the year
1918, was adopted unanimously by
the executive committee. He said
that the big task before all prohibt~
tionists Is to put over the top ma
tional constitutional prohibition, that
North Dakota is over, but it will not
count, he said, unless thirty-si
states ratify within seven years. He
asked that the state enforcement
league devote time and money to aid
the other states.
No Liquor For Beverage.
since, said the superintendent Of
the enforcement league, "in an Idaho
case the United States supreme court
has held that a state has a right to
prohibit possession Of Intoxicating
liquor, a law should be enacted by
our next legislature prohibiting pos
session for use as beverage. It
should be made unlawful in North
Dakota to engage In or to participate
in any gambling and poolhalls should
be by law put under state supervision
with state inspection.
Superintendent Watkins declared
that 1917 was great year for the
cause Of prohibition, and that
progress marked the movements Of
congress for the passage of laws that
widely affect the nation and in nearly
all states advances were made. He
said that not only did legislation
move forward rapidly but the courts
have everywhere sustained the law
makers and new legal bounds were
set I'm which prohibition win flourish
in the future.
