that the description of the papers

the existence of statements made to
him by Gluck, except those conta lined
in the court records mentioned by

RESPECT FOR LAW

Respect for the law; without
it republics die; liberty lives
only rs the people reverence
their own handiwork-the laws
and institutions of their own
country. Reverence for the
law must be taught better
practiced better. Ii one citizen
has a right to break one law
because he does not like it. then
every other citizen has the same
right TO break every law; and
il every citizen may do as he
pleases about obedience to law
there is an end to orderly gov
ernment and we descend from
the pinnacle OF free institutions
liberty regulated by law--to
the weltering chaos OF the mob.
Constitutional liberty is threat
ened not only by insidious at
taeks from without but by
stupefying lethargy within. The
citizen who winls at the viola
ton OF law is consenting to the
violation OF the chastity of his
own household and striking
deadlier blow at the petpetnity
of free institutions than was
ever dealt by the murderous
hand OF treason. The red radi-
cal breathing out threatenings
and brandishing the torch is no
more dangerous than the color
less, spineless citizen who
weakly consents to the viola
ton OF law and thus gives aid
and comfort to those who
would trample the Constitution
under loot and substitute per
sonal whim for the majesty of
law.-Senator Willis OF Ohio.

Dear Sir:
, Good government demands fair

nized requirement Unintelligent re-
striction is menace and oppression.
Wilfu refusal TO recognize injustice
is crime.
Senate Bill $50, recently passed by
the General Assembly and awaiting
your signature or disapproval con-
tains a provision making it unlawful
for physician to prescribe wine,
beer or alcoholic malt liquor. This is
not only a dangerous elimination OF
long established and honorable stand
ards and remedies, but an unjustiable
charge against the integrity and judg-
lnent OF the physician; also depriving
the people of the state OF medical care
offered them under the protection OF
citizenship. 1t is undoubtedly true
that this provision was made without
proper knowledge of the dangers and
consequences.
Il hereby enter protest and urge
and insist that you veto Senate Bill

LIQUOR HIDDEN
BEHIND DOCTORS
Who Are the Legislative Medical
Committee?
WET PAPER GIVES CLUE

In planning their strategy to deleat
enforcement legislation the vets laid
down the fundamental rule OF pro-
cedure that opposition to enforce
nient bills must not appear to come
directly from the liquor traffic. The
Palmer ruling relative 10 medicinal
beer. It not inspired by the vets, at
least gave them an inspiration for
their fight. Accordingly they planned
10 defeat enforcement legislation un-
der the preteXt that proposed bills
would interfere with tho practice OF
i, medicine When public attention was
directed toward the question OF pre-
scribing beer for medicinal purposes
there was no demand by physicians
for this right and no protest by physi-
clans against prohibiting beer pre-
scriptions. Ii was recalled that the
I. S. Pharmacopoeia never listed beer
as a medicine. Scientists declared
that careful experiments had proven
beer to be OF no value III medical
practice. Ii was also recalled that the
United States Medical Association had
gone on record against the use OF alco-
llol as a medicine. The association
was in session when the Palmer ruling
relative to beer was made public No
expression favorable to beer was made
by this body at that time.
The proposal to prohibit beer by
national and state legislation was
4 ;sa.s Ysite ppbiicity Utmost tlaiiy ~
the public press the subject was dis
cussed and the plans for legislation
opposing beer prescriptions COM
mcnted upon, The only expression
of opinion from the medical profess
sion brought to the attention OF legis-
lators was the following statement
signed by more than one hundred
prominent physicians from through
out the United States:
"The undersigned physicians OF the
United States desire to place on rec
ord their conviction that the manu-
1acture and sale OF beer and other
malt liquors for medicinal purposes
should not be permitted Malt liq-
uors never have been listed in the
United States Pharmacoepia as Off
cial medicinal remedies. They serve
no medical purpose which can not be
satisfactorily met in other ways, and
that without the danger OF cultivating
the beverage use of an alcoholic
liquor"

district and tell them that this bill
does not mean a d. thing" said Mr..
Hart in closing his address against
the bill.
Wet Mayor Opposes Bill
F. a. Car sche OF Madison, auother
speaker against the bill, based his op-
position on the assertion that tire new
law would be too drastic He said
that its penalties would be too harsh
and severe. Mr.. Garesche's opposi-
ton to the pas sage of the enforce
ment bill is easily understood when
it is known that in his capacity as a
lawyer he has defended alleged liq-
uor law violators IN the federal courts
although al the sahie time liz Was
mayor OF the city in which the or
fenses were alleged to have taken
place and also 4 member of the state
Legislature at the time that he ap-
pcared in behalf OF the violators.
Lee o'Neil Browne Still Wet
When the name OF Lee O'Nei1
Browne Was reached on the roll call
he arose as has been his custom for
many years and GRATED against the
dry measure. Although his wetness
is as unchanging as the ocean his
reasons therefor as given on the floor
OF the House have changed from ses-
sion to session. There was q time
when Mr. Browne declared he would
favor Prohibition ii it could be made
national. That was in the days OF
local option. Those who believed
that all OF his excuses for remaining
wet had been exhausted underesti-
mated his genius In explaining y
vote against the enforcement OF the
Eighteenth Amendment Mr.. Browne
expressed great concern Tor the sue
cess OF the Republicans in the state.
He is Democrat. Pretending 10 be
against the bill on the ground that il
would be invalid if passed, Mr..
Browne was asked by Fred b. Shearer
of Aurora why he did not let it pass
and then knock it out in the courts.
Mr.. Browne then soleinnly assured
the members of the House that he
wished to see the bill fail i'll order to
spare them the disgrace u having
passed poor bill. Finally he said
that in the interests OF the drys who
really wished to secure a valid and
effective Prohibition law he felt it his
duty to vote against the bill before
the House. He then voted wet in the
interests OF the liquor traffic, now out
lawed, whom he has defended in the
Legislature and in the courts for
many years.
No Valid Wet Arguments
In all the discussion of the bill by
the vets no arguments tending to
prove that if il becomes law it would
not carry out the purpose OF the
Eighteenth Amendment was offered
by the speakers. Mr.. nevine of
Dixon opposed the bill giving among
other reasons his opinion that Tie
law could be successfully enforced
without additional legislation.
With the exception of the opening
appeal by Mr.. Tice and brief remark
by Truman r. Smell, Fred B. Shearcr
and others the discussion OF the bill
was carried on entirely by the vets
The Illinois Prohibition Act, as the
bill provides that the law shall be des-
ignated, viii with the signing of the
bill by the governor, become effective

In future number the Illinois
