THE LAW MUST BE
ENFORCED

There is a class of saloon
keepers that became bootleg
gers of booze and stayed i'll
the business; and in the Eastern
cities ! found that the enforce
mcnt of the prohibitory law is
considerable of farce. But
this does not argue that Prohi-
bition does not prohibit. Pro-
hibitionists have never labored
under the fal,acy that all You
have TO do to stop the sale OF
booze is TO enact prohibitory
law. They know that the law
must be enforced. That has al
ways been difficult, for tho liq-
uor traffic has always been the
chief and most audacious law
breaker OF the age, Laws
against murder and burglary ,
have never stopped til ose
crimes, but the penitcntiaries
arc full OF murdercrs and bur-
glars. And the bootlegging OF
booze, whether over bar Or
up blind alley, is fast getting
into the burglary class, and it
won't be long until the man
who sneaks through devious
byways to get drink will feel
like a receiver OF stolen goods
ought to feel.
The vets arc arguing that
Prohibition has brought an in
crease i'll the making and sell
ing OF Squirrel" or moon
shine. whisky Of a vile kind,
and that the waves OF crime
that have swept the cites arc
due to it.
II it is a fact that booze is
causing those crime waves in
the cities it IS one OF the strong
est OF arguments for Prohibi-
ton.--Thc Country Gentleman.

March 5 printed story under the
heading "W. c. T. L. SNIFFING TO

as outlining a plan for the detection
OF home brewers.
On March Is Miss Gordon sent out
the following letter:
"An interview with Miss Anna Cor

appeared March and has been
widely copied. The statements cred
tied to Miss Gordon, to the effect that
W. c. T. L. workers are going into
homes. especially those OF foreign
ers, under a pretense OF friendliness,
for the purpose Of detecting home
brewers and reporting them to the
law enforcement officials, arc abso-
lutely and totally false.
Miss Gordon is quoted as saying
"'Tlle idea is to win the confidence
of friends or any foreign person you
may call upon by talking pleasantly
about cooking or the condition OF the
kitchens. In that way the w. c. T.
L. worker will seek to get entry to
the closets OF the kitchen or to seek
the odor OF brewing.
"'In the case OF foreigners we will
even start to help them with the lam
guage or to make a showing of wei
fare work until we can find out
whether they have any OF the brcwed
substance around the house.
"Not one word OF these sentences
is true. II is false from beginning to
end.
"For over thirty years the National
W. c. T. u. has been engaged in work
among the foreign-spcaking people,
aiding the mothers, teaching them
English, safeguarding the children in
every possible way and demonstrate
ing genuine friendlincss to these new

Warrants Held Necessary

On March Is Federal Judge Louis
Fitzhenry i'll the district court at
Springfield decided that Prohibition
agents must have search warrants be-
fore they may enter private homes
in search of illegal liquor, and that
IN addition they must have evidence
that liquor was sold, before search
warrants can be secured.
The ruling, it was declared by Dis
trict Attorney Knots, is probably the
most drastic yet made by the courts
in constituting the Nolstead Act.
1t was Immediately announced by
the district attorney that an appeal to
the federal Court OF Appeals, and
then, if necessary, to the Supreme
Court of the United States, will be
taken.
The question was raised in the de-
Tense of Adam Wamsganz, of near
Springfield, on trial for alleged vio-
laton of the Nolstead Act. Upon
advice from the mans attorney that
evidence against him had been OBJ
tanned in a raid, without a search
warrant. the judge ordered the jury
to return verdict of not guilty.
Attorneys for Mike dc. Pike Hctlcr
and others recently sentenced for con-
spiracy against the Prohibition laws
have announced that they will carry
the case up to the Supreme Court of
the United States if necessary. This
is the case in which the defendants
lawyers were referred to as the. mil

New Move Against Amendment
In Supreme Court
CIRCUIT JUDGE RULING
RAISES HOPES OF VETS
Court of Appeals Opens Enjoined
Bar
WILL APPEAL The HEITLER CASE

On March p new attack on the
Eighteenth Amendment was made in
a petition filed before the Supreme
Court OF the United States. a brief
filed in behalf OF !. !. Dillon OF San
Francisco, charged with violating the
amendment, questioning the validity
of constitutional Prohibition is based
on the requirement that the amend
ment be ratified in seven years.
The section making the entire ar
ticlc imperative unless ratified within
seven years, the brief asserts, spe-
cihcally violates Article ) of the Con-
stitution, which gives Congress no
power to impose a limit on ratification
"or to otherwise attempt to control
what the Legislatures OF the states
shall do in their deliberations.
On the date of the new move
against Prohibition at Washington
the Circuit Court OF Appeals in Chi
cago raised the hopes OF the vets in
a decision rendered by Judges Baker
and Alschulor. 4 writ of superscdeas
was granted the Entertainers cafe
permitting it to reopen until hnal
decision on the injunction case clos
ing this place is reached by. the Court
OF Appeals

Limitation in the Law

Limitation in the Law
While the Nolstead Yet does not
specifically limit the quantity OF beer
that may be prescribed. under the in
depreciation o. Mr.. Palmer it never
tboless provides restrictions which
will prevent the sale OF beer as a bcv-
erage. Only physicians with permits
may prescribe and then only after
careful physical examination for per-
sons ta Whom ths physician il good
faith believes liquor will afford relief
from some known ailment. In add
ton to tic penalties provided by the
\ Nolstead Act ior wrongful issuing ol
prescriptions the Illinois Prohibition
Act sets forth very severe penalties
for this of.ensc. Section twelve OF
the Illinois law provides that any
physician who prescribes Intoxicating
liquor without having first personally
examined the patient or who shall
make false statement in any pre-
scription or otherwise enable any
person TO procure liquor except to be
used in the treatment OF bona hdc
case of sickness shall Tor each Of
tense be fined not less than two hun
drcd nor more than five hundred dol
lars or be imprisoned in the county
Jail for not less than sixty days nor
more than six months or both. For
subsequent violations a physician
having been convicted may be fined
as high as one thousand dollars and
imprisoned for one year. In addi-
ton 10 this penalty for a second con-
ricton the physicians license to prac-
ticc medicine must be revoked. The
severe penalties involved will make
it extremely unlikely that Illinois
physicians will make beer procurable
for beverage use to any great extent.

May Reopen Other Bars

This action. it is claimed by wet at
torneys, establishes precedent un-
der which other saloons closed for a
year by Injunction process may be
re-opened until the legality oi the
action is settled by the higher courts,
sfhe Entertainers was twice closed
BY Judge Lands. The first decree
was issued because OF alleged viola
ton OF the Prohibition law on No
vember 10, 1920, the basis of the find
ing being that the place was a public
nuisance The second decree was
based upon a raid by Prohibition en-
forcemcnt officers on February p.
when evidence OF Nolstead violation
was secured and also on the ground
OF contempt of court since the place
had been temporarily cnjoined from
selling liquor after the November raid.
Attorney Francis A. Borelli. repre-
senting Shore, in seeking the writ OF
supersedeas. maintained that in the
III It tdst li0 hdu iditCh
to prove the place a public nuisance;
and that the second raid was unlaw-
ful because OF the absence of search
warrant A recent federal decision is
that such warrant is necessary.
1t is now believed by saloonkeepers
that today's action by the Circuit
Court of Appeals will make it impos-
sible for Judge Lands or any other
district judge permanently to close
place whose proprietor is accused OF
Nolstead violation. as an appeal to the
Circuit Court of Appeals can be i'm

dent OF the Entertainers cafe super

Not Demanded by Physicians

Another positive proof that beer
prescriptions will never revive the
beer traffic is the fact that there was
no demand by physicians that the
right to prescribe beer be granted.
There seems to have been no qucs-
ton so far as the reputable medical
profession is concerned that beer has
no therapeutic valuc.
Druggists Oppose Beer Sale
(. Since ..tha q Palmer ruling does rot.
change the law providing that only
druggists may fill prescriptions it fol-
lows that beer will not be easily pro-
durable unless druggists keep beer in
stock and are disposed to sell it without
adhering to the strict requirements OF
both the state and the federal Prohi-
bition acts. The penalties provided
for violations OF the law relative to
the filling OF prescriptions are too
strict for many druggists to take
of the bulk of beer any drug store
violating the law would make its law
1essncss SO quickly and clearly appar-
ent that the task of enforcement
against illegal beer sales would be
comparatively easy. The strongest
guarantee that beer prescriptions will
not become the means OF restoring
the manufacture and sale OF beer as a
beverage is the attitude taken by the
great majority of reputable druggists.
The proprietary association composed
OF 220 manufacturers OF proprietary
medicines throughout the United
States on March p went on record
opposing the sale of beer by drug
stores under the Palmer ruling. In
telegram to Wayne B. Wheeler,
Frank Blair, president Of the Associa-
ton, declared that "in common with
the entire drug industry VIC are op-
posed to the sale OF beer through the
channels of the drug trade. The as
sociation represents manufacturers of
so per cent of the proprietary mcdi-
cines on the market. We are not
alone in this but practically all of the
wholesalers of drugs and the rcputa.
bic drug stores are with us in oppos-
ing the ruling"
IF it should develop that under the
Palmer ruling and regulations to be
issued by the Internal Revenue De-
partment the enforcement of the law
against the traffic in beer for bever-
age purposes will be too difficult,
ways will be devised to remedy this
situation. If necessary Congress will
change the enforcement law so as to
definitely and effectively prevent the
manufacture and sale of beer for bev-
erage purposes. There is no doubt
that the intention of Congress in
passing the Volstead Act was to pro-
hibit beer. If necessary this inten.
ton will be explicitly and definitely
written into the law. Until the
Palmer ruling was made it was gener-
ally supposed that the Volstcad Act
prohibited the prescribing of beer.
The phrase in the law reading, Not
more than pint of spirituous liquor
to be taken internally shall be pre-
scribed for iise hv the same rerso,
within any period of ten days and
no prescription shall be filled more
than once" was believed to limit not
only the quantity to one pint but also
the kind to spirituous liquor. If this
is not put on this sees

Few Doctors Have Permits

In addition to severe legal re-
strictions other considerations will
operate to limit the beverage use of
beer. Only small proportion of the
doctors will prescribe liquor at all
and OF this proportion only very
few are likely TO risk the penalties of
misuse of the prescription privilege.
OF the 1928 physicians in the
United States when the nation went
dry only $3.50 or % per cent took
out permits 10 prescribe liquor. At
expiration of the original permits ac-
cording to the best figures obtainable
only p per cent of the doctors re-
newed their permits. At the time
present holders of physicians permits
took out the same there was no
thought OF prescribing beer. OF the
small proportion of the physicians
who use whisky in their practice it is
certain that not very many regard
beer as having any medicinal value.
Beer Not a Medicine
Dr. Arthur Dean Bevan, former
president of the American Medical
Association. and now chairman of the
Associations Department OF Medical
Education, commenting on the Palmer
beer ruling said, Beer has positively
no value as a medicine" The fact
that the United States Pharmacopoeia
has never recognized beer as medi-
cine indicates the stand that most
physicians will take on the question
OF prescribing beer.

COTTON VERY STEADY
Heaviest Trading and Greatest Bulk
of Selling Come In last Half
Hour Of BuSind =.

NEW ORLEANS, July 26.-Whlle
the cotton market was steady at
small advances during the opening
and again on the Close and the net
results were losses OF 22 TO 20 points,
the heaviest trading and greatest
selling pressure came In the las,
half hour following the report OF
the first bale of the new Georgia
crop arriving In savannah. Last
year the first Georgia bale was re-
ported on August 4. The trade was
surprised and a selling movement
Immediately got under way.
Early selling was due to poor
cables. but after losses OF s to Ia
points, the market became decidedly
steady on claims OF a much better
feeling in the spot markets Of the
interior and IN claims OF severe de-
terioration in Texas, especially In
sections where boil weovils and boil
points contcnded that the crop had
suffered deterioration of 80 per cent
in the last few days and estimates
were numerous that Texas as a
whole would lose from 5 to s point,
in condition for the month of July
The market toward noon was II &c
Is points higher than the close OF
yesterday with October 11.S6c. Ir
the early session October traded as
low az 1I.65c.
Late in the day the market be.
came very active with heavy sell
ing for both accounts under which
Octobe fell to ll.51c, at which love
the trading months were 20 to q
points under yesterdays fina
prices.
