Without it, life, liberty, and property are insecure. The history Of cvil-
zahen has been a continuous struggle for law and order The only sound
position for those who favor respect for law to take is that those charged
obey all the laws The government will endure on the rock of law en-
frcement or it will perish in the quicksand of lawlessnes.
Guy D. Cuff, Assistant to the Attorney General-The man who can
rot obey the Jaw, the man who cannot fearlessy enforce the law, and with
the courage of his convictions bring before or judicial tribunals every
dasardly and contemplate crook, no matter how high his rank, has no
place in system. Any new law which interferes with the so-caled
personnel liberty o. the community must pass through the stages of open
acs throughout the land.
Roy a. Haynes, Federal Prohibition Commissioner-Nothing can
nnront the American people more than the statement that we cannot en-
force our laws In this statement lies the death warrant of the republic,
for this nation cannot endure without reverence for law, without the rec
ognized authority of law. 1t is in the last analysis Amercanism in con-
fnt with Old World customs and concept; it is democracy against avarce,
lawl@sness and anarchy. The issue divides men not upon the question Of
their appettes but upon the question of their loyalty to their country.
Judicial Section, American Bar Assocation.-The judicial section Of
the American Bar association venturing to speak for all the judges, wishes
to- express this warning to the American people: Reverence for law and
enforcement Of law depend mainly upon the ideals and customs of those
who occupy the vantage ground Of life in business and society. The peo-
pie of the United States, by solemn constitutional and statutory enars-
nent, have undertaken to suppress the age-ong evil of the liquor traffic.
When, for the qualification of their appeites or the promotion of their in
terests, lawyers, bankers, great merchants and manufacturers, and social
leaders, both men and women, disobey and scott at this law, or any other
law, they are aiding the cause of anarchy and promoting mob violence,
robbery and homicide; they are sowing dragons teeth, and they need not
be surprised when they find that no judicial or police authority can save
our country or humanity from reapng the harvest.

1t Is Necessary That the Law Be Recognized
as Sacred and Supreme


President Warren G. Harding.-It is absolutely
essential to the maintenance of a secure society and to
the attainment of a proper moral plane that the law
should be recognized as sacred and supreme. 1t should
have at its back and enlisted in its support every ele-
ment of the community that realizes the desirability
of sound, secure, and stable institutions. Disregard
of one statute inevitably must breed a lack of respect
for the law in general.

WINNER OF
STUDEBAkER HONORS

There is one very proud man in
Middlesex county today. He Is j.
Arthur Apologize. the Studebaker
dealer for this city and vicinity.
MI. Apologize has just received
from the New York Studebaker
Branch, under which he operates. a
massive two-foot cup which is now
on exhibition at the local Studebak-
er's dealers store at $50 Division
street. =
1t means that for the month of
November, Mr.. Apologize and his
sales force sold and delivered more
S~tudebaker cars per capita of the
population than any other Stude'
baker dealer in any territory COM
parable in population.
All of the Studebaker automobile
dealers operating under the New
York branch, which controls most
of the state of New York, all Of Con-
necticut and parts of Rhode Island,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, have
been divided into seven groups. This
division is based on population and
other conditions SO as to make COM
petition between the dealers fair
within each group.
At the end of each month the
Studebaker dealer selling and de-
livering the greatest number of
Studebaker cars within each Of the
seven groups, is awarded this cup
on which the name of his city is IN
graved and which he holds for a
month.
If at the end of that time, ONT
other dealer in the same group ex-
ceeds his sales for that second
month, the cup passes to that deal
err. But each dealer can continue
to hold the cup SO long as his sales
lead his group.
AT the end of the year the dealer
in each group who has held the cup
the greatest number of months, or.
sold and delivered the greatest num-
Der of cars during the year, retains
the cup permanently.
This is the first tune since Janu-
airy 1, that the M~iddlesex county
dealer has won the cur. and Mr.. APP
plegate says that he is convinced
that he can keep the cup longer than
one month. Its not a hard thing
to do" he says.

AS Cure for Crimes
BY EDWARD e
(NEA Service STAFF writer)

BosTON.-"Fight the crime wave
exactly as we fight disease cpl
denies" .
That il the answer Of DR.. L. Yer
non Briggs. famous criminologlst' to
the problem of increasing murder
md lesser crime in America.
In an interview with NEA Service,
DR.. Briggs. author of THE Manner
of Man That Kills" director of the
Massachusetts Society for Mental
Hygiene, and member of the Amer
lean Institute of Criminal Law and
Criminology, made these recom-
mendations:
Abolish capital punishment.
Sentence criminals guilty Of cap
ital crime to life imprisonment-and
let science study their cases.
Establish "habit clinics in every
city for subnormal and abnormal
children, between two and seven. to
prevent possible future criminality.
DR.. Briggs saws punishment can
not stop crime, because it doesn't re-
move the cause. He cites the habit
clinic' Of Boston, established seven
months ago under DIR. Thorn, as the
only agency directed toward pre-
venting crime by striking at the
cause of it.
Kill Disease, Not Patient
'TWhen we fight typhoid, tubercu-
losis, yellow fever and similar dis
ease epidemics," he says, we don't
kill the people afflicted and destroy
the germs and every DIT of evidence
about them. Instead We study the
cases, isolate them. examine the
germs microscopically, and find a
serum that will cure. Science strives
to kill the disease. lot the patient.
why not treat crime like that?
why kill the patient by hanging or
electrocution. and kill the evidence
with him? Hanging was originally
designed as a deterrent-a horrible
example - because IL was public.
Now it is secret. The mar who uf-
.fers from the disease of criminal1ty
isn't moved by an example he hears
about secondhand"
DR.. Briggs suggests legislation
that will make capital criminals
available for scientific study. But to
get at the root of the trouble he
would have "habit clinics" estab-
lished in every CITY.
claws are archaic" he says.
when they judge criminals insane
on the basis of net knowing right
from wrong. Bv that test 90 per
