T E acy and in Plainfield by F l. Mercisr | Charles R. Carey. Jeuett City. Cona. guarded by these same fathers of ours. that all tended to make our soules safe, l our daily life safe. our business safe, 1 giving us a right to the pursuit of peace 1 and happiness. These things have not come without strong methods cf action,
 which have thrown out from time 10
 time those influences which would harm
 our homes, destroy members of our
 household, make it unsafe for woman
 kind upon our streets. and permit us peacefully to worship. This has been done only by the loyalty Of those fath- ! CTS to the corporate decision of all. They did not make America what it is by winkins at violations Of her ethics
 which would drag her honor in tine dust. | They were stout hearted and loyal in her best interests. They established the | principle of majority rule. and they were | manly enough to stand by lt
 And I ask what are those people of
 this country today. who have inherited all they have in orderly. stable, safe govern 1 men, going to do about the present sit uetion7
 Manifestly. lt can be but one thing. De-
 mand by voice, vote and eFery opinion. the proper machinery and enforcement of this amendment!
 Attorney Geaertl Dangherty in 6 re- zen adares before the American Bar Association in Cincinnati stated the whole principle of anyone who dares call him seltt an American citizen and deserve
 that privilege in the following words: A
 c;tizer cannot choose what laws he will
 rFa ,5 rharrrad wit h
 law enforcement cannot choose what
 laws they will enforce. The only sound position for those who favor respect for
 law to take Is that those charged with
 law enforcement must enforce all the laws and all good citizens must obey all
 the laws; neither can exercise any rign' Of choice in this matter without plae' ing themselves above the law. It is th' ] part Of faithful citizens to obey and th' part of faithful officials to enforce them If there is one fact history teache- above another it is that the rights incl dent to wealth and the rights furnishing
 the opportunity 10 enjoy spiritual intel 5 Iectual moral and social things are con ditIoned upon the supremacy of the law Respect for law is the one essential fac of our civilization. Without it. lie. ND . erty and property are insecure. Withou . IL subject that undermines respect to ' 1t especially prominent at this time Is al = erroneous theory Of personal liberty un 2 der our constitutional system. This
 | as old as government itself.
 When public sediment has crFstailizei = l irio law ther. can be no question as t I the duty Of good citizens with referenc l. thereto. They may still debate as to tn y wisdom of the law, but there is only on - course of conduct, and that is obedienc l. 10 it while it exists. 1T our civilizatio Y will place such restraints about itself l. to keen it virile and strong in heaitf > it's civilization will endure. If 1t yield Il to these false doctrines Of personal lit e erty it will go the way of other na !. tions of the past.
 'f am opposed to any system of govern e nent in which the rights of any indivic u ut or group of individuals depend upo eEi the whinl or caprice or temperamentf 'i attitude of any public officials. This is the heart of the whole questio :, now. danger call is being sent or
 because so many people think .he who ie question is settled as far as they c.' - do anything The apathy of those wh v beliere in prohibition is dangerous. 4 1 attempt is being made to place ligi - wines aud beer upon the market asa5 = An effor. is being made to elect congress r men who shall place them there agai ;s Statistics prove that the large consuml =, ton of beers and wines produce mo- " alcoholism thap other liquors.
 A There 1xust still be effort put fort " to offset the wet propa aganda that h abroad to give the real majority of ol D. lard af, opportunity to hear the effects le ;i.e.ir voice. The citizens must make tn D. effort. They must uphold law. The st
 blity Of our country must be niaintaine e. That glow immoral rot that got hold n Rome gnd Germany must not posse es America Her citizens must maintain a- respect for her word.
 n All those who base their personal II 'e erty or the fact Of free access 10 a le coholic drinks. should quit our shor s. and gc where they can exercise that pa I'd ticular kind of liberty.
 - Tn closing, I would quote Lincoln. Ii a great man of all times. whom I adini Y, more tran any other American, for H was flied with her spirit and her idea H ism f, om the top of h.s kindly and wi ss head. to the end of his great boots: 7. Let every American. every lover S liberty every well wisher 10 his DO II terity, swear by the blood of the re
 oultion never to violate in the least pa It. ticular the laws of this country al of never to tolerate tiieir violation by ot ed CTS. As the patriots of 'Ts did to ti he support Of the Declaration of Indepen ef ence. so to the support of the Cons n- tuition and laws let every Americ. ns pledge his life. his property and his s re cred honor. Let every man rememb n- that to violate the law is to tramr
 on the blood of his father. and to tear t III charter of his own and his children's I
 erty.
