hibition Commissioned Haynes, in an
address delivered under the auspices
of the New Jersey council of churches
appealed to the country to support in
the elections OF this year candidates
who have como out wholly and
periodically on the side of law and
order"
The commissioner expressed belief
that the nineteenth amendment, in
giving women the ballot, had made il
sure that the eighteenth amendment
and the legislation for enforcing it
would live on forever without change.
He advised his audience to discount
% per cent of all remarks and reports
of doubtful nature referring to Pro-
hibition law enforce nent work unless
they were sure OF the newspaper
printing them or the person giving
them utterance. He said his appeal
upon taking Office fourteen months

to lend their aid to the great problem
OF enforcement had brought pleasing
response.-Chicago Daily Tribune.

NATIONAL LEADERS
ON BOTH SIDES
SPEAK OF HULL
Sixteenth Congressional District
Center of Interest in Wet
and Dry Fight

A review of the political situation
as it is affected by the Prohibition
enforcement fight was recently printed
in the New York Times. The Times
article referring TO this state said:
I'm Illinois the advance guards
already have taken up outpost posi-
tons. Practically every district in the
State will be the scene of clash, but
the big fight is coming in the Peoria
district. where Clifford Ireland, the
present member, recently was defeated
by Edward Hull, who carried the wet
banner in the Republican primary.
Judge Jesse Black of Pekin is the
Democrat who will oppose Hull as the
colorbearer of the Anti-Saloon
League.
1.-THE forces of law and order, said
Mr.. Wheeler the other day, are going
to back Judge Black. We are not con
cerned whether man is Republican
or a Democrat just so long as he
stands for the laws OF the country
and the Eighteenth Amendment is the
law of the land. / am absolutely
certain that the people of the Peoria
district will stand for the law and
that means electing Congressman
who is against violating it."
Further reference is made to Illinois
by the Times which quoted G. C.
Hinckley, in charge of National head
quarters of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment as fol-
| lows
1--WE are going to keep track OF the
situation in all of the Congressional
districts and expect to urge the cleo
ton of men who support the posi-
ton taken by the association. OF
course we are going to oppose Mr..
Volstead and we don't deny that we
did our part in accomplishing the de-
feat of Congressman Ireland and Cop
ley in the recent primary election in
Illinois. We are organized to bring
about modification of the existing
law and the only way to do it is for
the people to send to Washington men
who believe that it is. for The, best in
terests of the country that such action
shall be taken"

permit any other disease to be mis-
represented in its deadly work. You
need sheriff who believes IN this
government with all the manhood and
soul OF real American. Not hale
fellow-well-met who used to be a
regular patrcn of the saloon in the
old days, perhaps III fact a former
bartender or saloon keeper, but for
this most responsible position you
should select a man OF principle and
he is good for nothing will not do. A
sheriff of the right type will have the
boo.legger and the bum running be-
fore he has hardly moved into the
court house? \ sheriff who is per-
sonally lax in principle and known to
be easy, will have around him the
village cheap politicians as deputies;
with only sporadic law enforcement,
as result of visiting groups Of irate
citizens who prod him into activity
or when some great crime is COM
nlitted and then with an awakened
public he is driven to uphold the law
which he has solemnly pledged HIM
self to guard.
The law can be enforced. 1t must
be enforced or we die! Niolators Of
the law-this Eighteenth Amendment
should not be lightly handled. A
paltry fine that would not amount to
as much as a months license i'll the
old saloon days, is but mere annoy

alley rat or the proprietor or high
toned hotel. What We need is a few

A Few Sentences

Where under the guidance of y.
s. Marshall, a convicted prisoner
leaves for a distant penal institution,
shut away from his cronies Of other
DAYS. who have looked upon fines as
simply another way OF paying
license. There may be mitigating
circumstances which will temper the
verdict given man at the bar, who
under great provocation transgresses
the law, but such thing cannot be
argued for him who deliberately
builds, hides, schemes, brcws in secret,
peddlcs in the dark, poison that kills.
That individual needs to be brought
up standing with a full realization OF
the majesty of the law. That man
when he hears the iron gates at
Leavenworth clang behind him and
then the old gang back home who
see him no mere, in his daily haunts,
will be the first to give evidence that
the law can be enforced.
This law, though, is not going to
enforce itself. Simply electing man
to office and then leaving him unsup
ported on the job will not get results.
Too often we have said in actions, if
not in words: 1--WE elected you to
office. Go ahead and do your duty"
Some have written anonymous letters
TO the mayor, or the chief OF police,
or have called these men OH the
phone and have refused to give their
names while entering complaint; or,
who telling the story OF the laws in
fraction, will say: "But / must not
be known III this We don't do this
in other forms of law violation. Why
is il in the violation of the so-called
dry laws, that we lack the courage to
help officials secure respect for the
law?
How long has it been since you have
made a friendly call on your mayor,
your states attorney, the sheriff, or
your chief OF police! DO you reallzc
that these men are just human beings
like the rest OF US; that they like to
be appreciated, too? And that if you
will only believe in them and give
them credit for good work; when per-
formed, that they will not disappoint
you.. Why let the man-about-town, be
the only one who ever slaps the chief
on the shoulder, in friendly sort of
a way" until the chief and all his men,
conclude that our crowd are not so
many in numbers and lack the in
fluence of the so-called liberal element
We have the number, but too often
we are asleep on the job"

Speaking on the subject Can the
Law be Enforced?" at the Chautauqua
at Galesburg the Honorable W. w.
Bennett President OF the Anti-Saloon
League OF Illinois, said in part
"No red-blooded, worthwhile
citizen will admit that the law cannot
be enforced. To admit ii is to
acknowledge failure for represent
alive form OF government. The con-
stitution is the basis, the fundamental
law of the land. In recent address,
former Senator Bereridge said: IL
citizens care SO little for their own
interests that they permit corrupt,
ignorant, weak or slothful men to be
placed in the seats OF public control,
then citizens themselves are to blame
for the consequences. If popular
representative government is to
endure, il must be safe-guardcd by
the people in the selection Of public
servants. | ask you, my friends, ii
it is not too often the case, that we
put aside the duties OF citizenship?
