GOVERNORS SAY ENFORCE THE DRY LAW
County Passes Strict Enforcement Resolution
OBEDIENCE TO LAW
Thomas r. Marshall

No difference what the form
of government, one essential
that appertains to it is that there
can be no government without
law. And law without obedi
ence or enforcement is nothing
more than a legislative joke.
The object of the Americana
zation of the foreigner is to con-
vince him that ours is the best
government in the world; that
he is a part of it and has hand
i'll the management of its des-
tiny; that majority, ruling
with due respect for the rights
of the minority, is supreme; and
that in a peoples government
it is the duty of every citizen,
when the majority has spoken,
to obey its decree until by
orderly processes reversal OF
public sentiment is registered
at the ballot box.
He is a poor advocate for the
change OF a law who breaks and
houts it.
We are going to have much
difficulty in teaching our foreign
born man to be a law-abiding
citizen so long as he has exam
pies OF so-called good citizens
who reserve the right to elm
mate certain laws from among
those which they voluntarily
obey. And we are doing a very
bad thing when we tell him that
the law can not be enforced.
That should not be said OF any
law, and no law should be re-
pealed because it can not be
enforced. 1t should be enforced
to the strictest letter of it until
citizens, voluntarily obeying it,
go about its repeal in an orderly
manner.

BOOZE LAWS CAN BE
ENFORCED
(Sterling Gazette)

\ sad case comes from down
state. The son OF police Judge
in big city was arrested for
burglary and drunkenness. The
father. police judge of the city,
did not know the bootleggers
had gotten his son. Like most
justices he had been rather easy
with the bootleggers-possibly
liked a drink imself-Prohibi-
ton law a joke you know-and
SO bootleggers got off easy.
But when it came to the mag
istrate's own son then the bru-
tality of the booslegger's bust
ness came home to the judge.
Heretofore the judge had sim
ply fined drunks for being
drunk without making any ef-
fort to learn where they got
th cir moonshine. He has
Learned a lesson. From this
time on drunks will tell where
they got their bootleg and make
a complaint against the man
who sold it. The man who
buys bootleg is little better than
the man who sells it, because a
bootlegger can not violate the
selling law unless he finds a
buyer who will help him break
the law. This down state Judge
has has it brought to him that
his duty does not end with hning
the poor drunk. He should
make an effort to get the other
party to the law violating. OF
course there will be another
dreadful howl against trampling
on the personal liberties of
the booze seller and booze
hister, but there is only one way
10 enforce the anti-booze law
and that is to use club.
Pussyfooting gets nowhere.

VETERAN PEACE JUSTICE
C0MPARESPRESENT WITH
OLD time SALOON DAYS

Lest we forget. The over emphasis
of evils existing under Prohibition
makes many forget the conditions that
prevailed before the Anti Saloon
League drove the legalized saloon out
of America. Thomas Liggett of Me
tropolis, Illinois, sent some reminis-
cences i'll a letter to the American
Issue in which he contrasts the dry
days now with the wet days of old,
basing his statements on the records
of his office. Judge Liggett writes
"ln 1889 | was first elected police
magistrate serving i'll that capacity
until 1901, twelve years. At that time
this city had from twelve to sixteen
saloons. On one Christmas day
tried ffty-eight cases of drunls and
disorderly conduct. From 1901 to
1921 I served as justice of the peace.
In April, 1921, | was again elected po-
lice magistrate. From December Is,
1922, to January 5, 1923, we had only
one case. On January 10, 1923, there
was case for manufacturing intoxi-
cants in which the defendant was fined
and sent to Jail. In 1921 to 1922 there
were only fifty cases on my docket.
From July l, 1916 to June 80, 1917,
there were 397 cases tried in the police
court here. Do you think that Prohi-
bition prohibits? We went through
Christmas and the New Year without
single arrest. | am past 80 years OF
age, Civil War veteran of four and
one-half years service and have never
used intoxicants."

A GOOD IDEA
(Elgin Courier)

A bootlegger's protective association
is discovered in Chicago by u. S.
District Attorney Clyne. The asso-
citation headquarters furnishes bail,
lawyers and influence when its mem
bers get arrested. Their customers
might prohtably form similar or
ganization with fraternal features pro-
viding burial expenses for deceased
members.

January 10th said:
Power and responsibility for en-
forcing the Nolstead law rest i'll the
nation and also in the state Under
the Eighteenth Amendment the two
have concurrent jurisdiction. Both
are at fault for the intolerable situa-
ton which confronts us.
"A general conviction exists through
out this commonwealth not only that
the Nolstead act is not enforced but
that no vigorous effort has ever been
made to enforce it. Our people have
seen men known to be opposed to the
enforcement OF the law selected to
compel obedience to it on the part o.
others. They are told that appoint
ments to the position of enforcement
agent are treated as political spoils
and that politicians opposed to all tha
the law stands for are permitted to
name such agents. They believe tha'
persons high in official place are con
stantly and openly violating the spirit
if not the letter OF the law, and wink
ing at its violation by others. They
understand that liquor is sold almost
as freely and openly as it was before
the passage of the Eighteenth Amend.
ment.
With such beliefs i'll mind, the peo-
pie are necessarily led to conclude thai
the law is Systematically disregarded
by those whose peculiar duty it is &c
respect or enforce it, and in conse-
quencc the general disregard for all
law grows steadily worse.
Self-Government On Trial
Il regard the present fragrant fail
IRE to enforce the Nolstead law as a
blot on the good name of Pennsyl-
vania and the United States. If al
lowed to continue IT will amount to a
serious charge against the fitness OF
our people for genuine self-govern-
ment. | share in the belief that nc
determined concerted effort to enforce
the law has yet been made, and | pro-
pose not only to press with all my
power for the abolition of the saloon
but also to make sure that the govern
ment of this state takes its full and
effective part i'll such an effort.
Pennsylvania must either control
the criminals who are openly break
ing the law or be controlled by them
With all good citizens believe that
this commonwealth is greater and
more powerful than any band of law
breakers whatsoever, and | intend to
act on that belief"
Administration Will Be Dry
The governor of Pennsylvania left
no doubt as to his attitude personally
and officially on the question of Pro-
hibition enforcement.

The executive mansion will be dry and

"The Sackett law provides for the
custer from office on complaint filed
by the governor of any local official
who wilfully fails. neglects or refuses
to enforce the laws of Nebraska in his

tive it should be amended so that the
officer so complained against could be

Obey Law Says Governor Neff
In his message to the Texas Legis-
lature on January 10 Governor Pat M.
Neff urged vigorous support of Prohi-
biton.
prohibition is now a part of the
organic law of the land" he declared,
therefore there should be no division
Of opinion among law-abidng citizens
as to It's enforcement The law must
be obeyed. The bootlegger must go,
he is an enemy to civilization Our
Prohibition laws should be strength
ened. Officers who will not enforce
this law should be removed from office.
Failure to enforce this law weakens
all our laws.
Sober Officials Needed
Public sentiment must swing away
from the bootlegger to the side of law
and order. The Prohibition law
should be made more effective and
those charged with its enforcement
should be made to perform their sworn
duty or get out of office. No officer
should conniye with bootleggers. Our.
laws should be made, interpreted and
enforced by sober officers"
Governor William B. Ross of Wy
oming in his message to the Seven
teenth Wyoming Legislature on IAN
uary II said:
"The Prohibition law was designed
to destroy the manufacture and sale
of Intoxicating liquors. 1t is now not
only part of the state statutes and
OF the United States statutes, but also
is embodied Ill the Constitution of the
state of Wyoming and in the Consti-
tuition of the United States. Since the
enactment of the present state and
national statutes decided change in
the conditions in the United States

Heavy Fines and Jail Urged
After detailing some OF the benefits
OF Prohibition Governor Ross sug-
gested means for more effective en-
forcement. "The present system of
fining," he said, "is not sufficient

this unlawful occupation, as the profits
made therefrom are so large as in ef-
feet to make the fines imposed merely,

 After powerful blows had shattered the concrete, workers made small hole in the steel with an electric drill and hose through which oxygen flowed Di Giacoma thrust a note thru the opening begging his rescuers to hurry When the back was opened he was found unconscious on the floor A hole was made in the vault roof and a physician lowered with a rope.

SOVIET GOVERNMENT REFUSES 0|vE PLEA CONVICTED VICAR GENERAL TO PAY EXTREME PENALTY FOR
 INTRIGUE

MOSCOW, March S0-The commits sioners of the Soviet government, who have under consideration the appeals of the various nations for a stay ot execution of prelates and priests con- .victed and sentenced to death for vio- lating government mandates, this morning stated that Vicar General . .Budkevich must pay the extreme pen atty for his folly.
 In support of their decision the com rnissioners showed where Budkevlch had been in direct communication with the enemies of the Soviet gov ernment which act constitutes high treason, and, therefore. an appeal in his behalf must be refused and sen cence carried out as decreed by his judges.
