, hundred persons on prohibition and
law enforcement. Mr.. Kramer com
mended Governor Denney for hav'
ing issued the proclamation calling
for this week to be observed as Law
Enforcement Week" He paid a high
tribute to the Governor for being the
first Governor in the United States
to issue such a proclamation. He
said the people OF Delaware who be-
lieved in abiding by the decision OF
the majority should feel proud OF a
chief executive WING had displayed
such a fearless attitude on the sub
ject.
Mr. Kramer said the greatest diff
ficulty facing the people today was
the enforcement OF the law. He
spoke OF the eighteenth amendment
as being a foundation for great
structure. He said the people had
la firm foundation. which took many
! years to lay and II the structure was
not erected on II, IL had been better
I II II had not been laid. He said il
would be like a foundation laid by
hotel man in Ohio who found the
residents were opposed to his line of
business and caused him to leave the
constructed foundation a monument
to his great failure, should the law
abiding people fail TO cooperate
and erect the proper structure.
Mr.. Kramer in speaking OF the
eighteenth amendment said It had
taken years to get the measure into
the greatest OF all statutes. the Con-
stitution.
He said many officers had been lax
In their duties because OF being dis
interested in the subject. He APP
pealed to those present to cooperate
fully with the officers in all particu-
lars to further the enforcement OF
the provisions of the amendment.
Prof. Henry Handy Hay intro
duced the speaker with appropriate
remarks. saying while he at first was
opposed 70 the amendment, he had
since seen light and believed it th'
duty OF every citizen TO proudly sup
port the laws. If people were dis
satisfied he said they should either
move out OF the country or start
movement having for its object the
repeal of the law.
