OLD INTERNAL REVENUE
LAW STILL ION THE JOB"

In various parts of the country Fed
cral prohibition agents are invoking
the old internal revenue law in deal
ing with liquor law violators for the
reason that the penalties arc much
more drastic.
In some states convictions have
been secured under the revenue law,
the penalty being forfeiture of prop
erty, fine of not less than $500 nor
more than $4,000 and imprisonment
OF not more than six months nor less
than three months. The recourse TO
state codes is also proving effectual.
For instance, it is pointed out that
Tennessee has statute authorizing
the collecting from bootlegsers of
$500 for the state and $500 for the
county, with an additional $500 op-
tional for the city.

OHIO WILL Do ENFORCING

Charles c. Crabbe, attorney general
of Ohio has suggested, by wire to
Roy A. Haynes, that Federal Prohi
bition officials in Ohio be transferred
to New York, now that Governor
Smith, by signing the Mullan-Gage
repeal bill, has practically withdrawn
New York peace officers from enforce
ment work. 80
"Ohio ca, enforce the dry laws with
her own officials Mr.. Crabbe wired
the Federal Commissioner. THE Fed
eral government can detail its Ohio
forces for Kew York dutv. Ohio is
still against secession. If you need
the Federal prohibition officers now in
Ohio to help enforce the law in New
York, since Al Smith seeks to nullify
the Constitution, | am confident that
our state county and municipal Of
ficers will redoublc their efforts and
see that the law is enforced in this
state and make available all Federal
officers for New York"
Commissioner Haynes replied to
Attorney General Crabbe, thanking
him for his offer. Mr.. HAYNES said:

LINCOLN AND DOUGLASS ON OBEDIENCE TO Law

1argrave, Hillsboro, during the discus
he floor of the Illinois House,
ton OF law is unsafe to re-write that
law. Does the gentleman advocate
the repeal OF the law against robbery
because bank robberies have become
more numerous than in former years?
Men who are most active for the re-
peal of this law arc those who hope to
profit from the traffic, but the inn
keeper who violated every law of God
and man drove the saloon from our
land and wrote the Eighteenth Amend
ment in our Constitution from which
no article has ever been repealed.
While this question involves the re-
pealing of law. its meaning and eff
feet are far-reaching. 1t is the cry of
those who want no law to curb their
personal desires.
After life of great activity Stephen
A. Douglas had inscribed upon his
tomb as the best judgment of that
life the words, Tell my children. to
uphold the Constitution and obey the
law"
Lincoln said on this subject; LET
every American, every lover of lib
erty, every we'll wsher to his pos
tcrity, swear by the blood of the Rev
olution never to violate in the least
particular the laws OF the country,
and never to tolerate their violations
by others. As the patriots of Seven
tysix did to the support of the Decla-
ration of independence, so to the sup
port OF the Constitution and the laws
let every American pledge his life, his
property and his sacred honor.
LET every man, remember tlrat to
violate the law is to trample on the
blood of his fathers and to tear the
charter of his own and his children's
liberty. Let reverence for law be
breathed by every. American mother
to the lisping babe that prattles on
her lap; let it be written in primers,
spelling books and almanacs let it be
preached from the pulpit proclaimed
in the legislative halls, and enforced
in courts of justice"

A Washington dispatch of May 80
announces that gigantic anti-dry
convention will be held in Washing
ton this fall just before the Sixty
Eighth Congress convenes. This con
vcntion is to voice demand that Con-

is to be held under the auspices of the
Association Against tho Prohibition

vention materializes as have previous
gigantic conventions and parades"

ests it will not create much of an i'm
preston upon Congress and will
scarcely be noticed by the people of
the capital city. -
Once before big demonstration
was announced for Mashington-pro-
test against Congress passing the
resolution to submit the Eighteenth
Amendment to. the states--but unfor-
tunately most of the delegation stop

who did arrive made sorry showing.

recalls that within the last ten
years the world has seen the fall
of three of its greatest govern

similar condition to come to pass
in the United States. Those coun-

rulers did, because of the passage
Of foolish laws.

mind him that the German American

the primary purpose OF making the

LET GEORGE DO 1T
Mason City Banner

That the laws are not better
enforced is due not only TO the
inactivity OF tho officers. but in
a great measure to the people
themselves. A few years ago
there was q popular saying Let
George Do It." 1t simply
meant indifference on the part
OF the speaker. That spirit is
rampant among the people to-
day. A great many people
barely get to the polls on cleo
ton day, and having done so,
they fold their arm. lay back in
their arm chairs. and il case
OF bootleging or law violation
occurs, they yawn and say,
Where is Bill Jones that we
elected sheriff! Why is he not
doing his duty And with
this spontaneous burst oil Wis
dom he resumes his easy chair,
yawns and again falls asleep.
The poor boob. II he did his
part. Bill Jones would be only
too glad 10 do his, and in IS
times out OF 100 does do it.
The private citizen has as much
OF a duty i'll enforcing the law
as the officer.
Let George Do It. is all
right II George does it. But
that, fellow citizen docs not ex-
cuse you from taking an active
part In seeing the law enforced,
or grant you the exclusive priv
ilege OF wearing out chair
cushions.

liquors in public places were serious
violations OF the law. according to Fed
era Judge Hikenlooper, of Cincinnati,
He declared the other day from the
bench that offenders will not be

declared that, while people generally
respect other laws. many have an
idea that the prohibition law may be
willfully and dehantly disregarded, but
that prohibition is the law and must

LOCAL VETS NEW TRICK

Missouri's new prohibition enforce
ment law enacted during the recent
session of the legislature, is more dras-
tic in its provisions than the Volstead
act. The law becomes effective the
18th of juno. Penitentiary sentences
arc provided for those convicted OF
operating stills. This provision will
give sheriffs and other officers an
added incentive to enforce the law.
The law carries the extreme penalty
on convictions and the judge has no
discretion in the matter.
Sheriffs will not receive a fee for
bringing in the stills as in other GRIM
na1 cases. Under the old law there
was no fee. The law provides fine
of from $500 to $1,000 and six months

L-a. New York Tribune
The voters of New York face
clear obligation. Whether they ap-
prove of prohibition or not they are
in duty bound to vote for and elect
Governor and Legislature and local
governments who will pay something
more than lip service to the Federal
Constitution. They should elect a
Legislature which will enact a law
unfolding the Eighteenth Amend

only sign such bill but will by word
and deed labor for its honest enforcev
ment, using toward that end every
constitutional power that he possesses.
