SENATOR WILLIS PLEADS
FOR RESPECT FOR LAW

Senator Willis in an address at
Madison Square Garden, New York at
Protest Meeting on The Horrors of
the Rhine" said:
Respect for law without it,
republics die; liberty lives only as the
people reverence their own handiwork
the laws and institutions of their
own country. Reverence for law
must be taught better-practiced
better. II one citizen has right
to break one law because he does
not like it, then every other citizen
has the same right to break every
other law; and if every citizen may
do as he pleases about obedience to
law there is an end to all orderly gov
eminent and we descend from the
pinnacle of free nstitutions--liberty
regulated by law-to the weltering
chaos OF the mob,
Constitutional liberty is threatened
not only by insidious attacks upon it
from without but by Supplying
lethargy within. The. citizen who
wnks at the violations of law is con-
senting to the violation of the chastity
OF his own household and striking a
deadlier blow at the perpetuity of free
institutions than was ever dealt by the
murderous hand of treason. The red
radical is no more dangerous than the
colorless, spineless citizen who weakly
consents to the violation of law and
thus gives aid and comfort to those
who would trample the Constitution
under foot and substitute personal
whim for the majesty of law"

HE WILL WIN
Mrs. Pinchot has Confidence in Ability
of Her Husband

Mrs. Pinchot wife of the governor
of Pennsylvania, is no less afraid to
talk out in meeting than is her distin-
guished husband. In an address III
Philadelphia, she declared that the
governor was being hampered in his
fight for prohibition enforcement by
lack OF cooperation on the part of fed
eral authorities at Washington.
Their continued failure to act" said
Mrs. Pinchot, SIS making the work in
Pennsylvania one hundred times more
difficult than it ought to be. The gov
ernor is ready to fight this issue
through to the bitter end, and to force
his point of view upon those men who
believe they have right to dispose of
patronage as they please, and he is
going to win OUT

fort is to hamstring the law either by
injecting provisions into it that will
make it more difficult of enforcement
or to suggest some change which you
think will arouse public sentiment
against the whole prohibition policy.
The debates in Congress and the
language of Section % make it clear
that it was never the intention of that
body to permit the manufacture of
cider and fruit juices for beverage pur-
poses which are intoxicating in fact.
The language expressly limits such
manufacture to cider and fruit juices
which are misunderstanding. Congress
could not constitutionally permit the
manufacture of such beverage intox-
icating in fact. On the other hand,
cider and fruit juices are the incipient
stage Of vinegar, a lawful product not
prohibited by the Constitution or tn

CLIFFORD PINCHOT

Pennsylvania has a live gov
ernor. However people may
disagree about him, they must
admit that he is alive to his
hnger-tips. He is man of
high ideals and dauntless cour-
age. He is not afraid to suffer
defeat when in the right and
that spirit always makes any
man dangerous opponent and
a captivating leader.
He might have lived life of
ease and pleasure; but he chose
to make it one of sacrifice and
public service. A key to his
character is found in the state
ment credited to him last
Thanksgiving and given wide
publicity. He was reported as
saying: among other things,
! am thankful for the most soul
satisfying job | have ever had"
The real man rang out in that
statement. The governorship
of state is never a soul-satis-
flying job to selfish man.
Nothing is; for the selfish man
lacks a fully developed soul. 1t
is never soul-satisfying job to
one who sees in it merely ag-
grandizement and power. 1t
can be such a job only to one
who uses it in the service of
men and who gets his delight i'll
the satisfaction that comes from
working for others rather than
for self.
The courage of Governor
Pinchot is tested every day. 1t
proves itself by his staunch adj
herencc to law enforcement and
by his determined efforts to
compel the lawless liquor traffic
to get in line with public sem
timent. 1t proved itself when
he promptly accepted the re-
sponsibility put upon him by
the president of settling the coal
strike.
There are many who believe
he would make an ideal presi-
dent of the United States. He
NAV never be called to that
high station. 1t is too early for
predictions as to that. Condi-
tons may develop which may
cause the people to issue their
summons to him to move up
higher. Whether or not that
happens is not the most impor-
tant thing in his life.
Just now he is engaged at the
task OF serving as governor OF
Pennsylvania. He is discharg-
ing the duties of that position
to the dismay of the lawless
and to the satisfaction OF de-
cent people.
More power to him!

"Bootlegger King of Atlantic
Seaboard Convicted of Wet
Conspiracy
TWO YEARS. AND $4,000
Another Wcll-Known New York
Business Man Arrested by
United States Officers
TWO YEARS. AND $4,000

The alleged higherups in the boot
Logging fraternity are feeling the full
force OF the strong arm OF the law in
various sections of the country. Two
weeks ago the so-called bootleg king
OF New York City on the eastern sea-
board was convicted of conspiracy and
given two years sentence in federal
penitentiary and ten thousand dol
lars fine. A number of his pals were
also convicted and sentenced to heavy
terms in federal prison. A number Of
so-called prominent men OF Atlanta,
Ga, were also convicted and sent be-
hind the bars.
Now comes report from Mobile,
Ala, that a former sheriff, a member
OF the legislature, and several deputy
sheriffs, together with widely known
business man of that city, were ar
rested on December l9 by United
States marshalls on indictments re-
turned by the federal grand jury which
recently investigated alleged wholesale
violations of the liquor laws. These
men are indicted on charges of con-
spiracy to violate the prohibition laws.

facture vinegar for domestic use in the
home by permitting the natural pro-
cess Of fermentation. 1t was evident
ly not the intention of Congress to
interfere with this legitimate and
proper use of cider and fruit juices,
but the exception was safeguarded by
requiring that when cider and fruit
juices are used for beverage purposes
they must be Notwithstanding. This
has been the Interpretation placed
upon the law by the treasury depart

one to misunderstood the plain
language of the law and treasury de-

may manufacture cider and fruit
juices of other kinds which are

this decision was erroneous and has
submitted authorities and argument
in many cases where the point has
been raised, to show this.
The Appellate Court of the Fourth
District has just handed down a de-
cision directly the reverse OF the
Peiscz case, as follows:
Section 3 of the Act provides that
no person shall possess any intoxicat
ing liquor except as authorized in the
act. Section 80 expressly provides
that it shall not be necessary in any
information or indictment to include
any defensive negative averments, but
it shall be sufficient to state that the
act complained of was then and there
prohibited and unlawful. The act
complained of in this case is the pos
session of Intoxicating liquor in vio-
lation of the statute. Every posses
sion of such liquor is prohibited except
it be authorized by the act. The in
formation charges that the possession
was unlawful and in violation of the
act and meets the requirements OF
