Says Nation Suffers
From Legislation.
BY international News Service.

! . COLUMBUS, Ohio. July 1s. -
Adoption. of uniform code systems
for regulating and interpreting
laws, in order to reduce to a mini.
mum the hundreds of volumes of
statutes created annually by legis-
lative bodies. was advocated by
Chief Justice Marshall, of the
Ohio Supreme Court, in an address
here on TOO Much Law making. -
Declaring that more laws were
enacted by the United States dur
ihg its 125 years of law making
tban by the rest of the world in
5000 years, Chief Justice Marshall
asserted that the Golden Rule, the
Ten Commandments and the
United States Constitution are the
most striking examples expound-
tng the principal requirements of
cenciseness, simplicity and perfec-
ton.
AHe declared that the blame for
Ipaking new laws should not be
placed upon the Governments
Judiciary department, and said that
more than 175,000 pages of law
kere enacted by courts of last re-
aOrt last year. "a number which 1t
Rould be impossible for any law
Ner to read intelligently in three

This is a condition which. natur

DRY Law HERE
T0STAY, SAYS
BISHOP
Not Transitory, He Tells Brit
ish, But Was Adopted After
Long Consideration.
BY international News Service.

BRISTOL. Eng, July 1S.-Re-
ports Of bribery, corruption. drunk
enness and general disrespect for
law in the United States as a re-
suit Of the adoption of national
prohibition most decidedly should
be taken with q grain of salt,
Bishop Thomas Nicholson of Chi
cago. fraternal delegate from the
Methodist Episcopal Church of the
United States. told the annual
British Wesleyan Conference here
today.
The prohibition law, Bishop
Nicholson declared. is better en-
forced than most of the laws of the
land, except for few large cities.
Any idea the British people may
have that the law is a transitory
measure, the bishop declared, is
wrong, for prohibition has been
adopted in the United States as a
permanent part of the Constitu-
ton"
Really No Joke.
"There is in sorre quarters a dis
position to joke about the abolition
Of the drink traffic in America
that is unseemly. and levity is al
most crime in this case" Bishop
The Washington times., 1923-07-18

Nicholson asserted. ut is a serious
business. 1t is one of the world s
greatest struggles against an age
long. entrenched evil.
"ln many respects it is such a
contest as the world had against
slavery. The victims of habit and
the vested interests which have
made merchandise Of the appetites
of men for generations are pitted
against the forces of goodwill and
the spirit of modern humanitarian
ism.
IF anyone imagines that prohi-
bition in the United States is the
work of a few fanatics, or that it
is legislation hastily conceived and
prematurely adopted, that person
does not know the facts. What is
popularity known as the Eighteenth
amendment to the Constitution Of
the United States was soberly and
thoughtfully adopted by the Aneri-
can people after more than fifty
years of agitation, consideration
and struggle"
Value Is Proven.
The economic results of the adop-
tor Of the amendment" Bishop
Nicholson declared, speak III
trumpet tones of the value of
prohibition. Notwithstanding the ex-
traordinary efforts Of the vets to
defeat the purpose of the law.
I'm some of our large cities in
the East and in certain sections
Of the country the anti-prohibition
forces, heavily financed by the
interests, are using every endeavor
to break down the law for the en-.
forcement of the provisions Of the
Constitution" the bishop said. "It
is to be. expected that in some OF
these centers there will be TEN.
porary defeats, but the number of
set.backs is surprisingly small.
"The President of the United
States has spoken In no uncertain
tones and is standing by the law
and using the power OF his office
for the enforcement thereof in a
noble way"

TO BUY BELLEAU WOOD
Association Plans Memorial to
yanks Who Fought in France.
Within the Limits Of the Proposed
Memorial Nearly 5000 American
Marines and Soldiers Were
Killed or Wounded.

Washington.-A movement to buy
the Belleau Wood battlefield in
France and make it memorial to the
American forces who fought there In
May, 1918, will be pushed by the Bel
leau Wood Memorial association, of
which Mrs. James e. Frazer is presl-
dent
Special impetus has been given to
the plan by the news from Paris that
an Anglo-French tourist agency was
planning to open an amusement park
on the site and build a big hotel from
which sightseeing busses would run.
The association here Immediately
cabled to get on option on the battle
field and obtained it.
The price of the nearly $50 acres
which it is desired to obtain is 100000
francs or about $1,000. In addition
TO the cost of the land, money will be
needed to place the area in condition
to be permanent memorial with
markers, a monument, etc. The asso-
citation plans also to aid in the recon-
struction Of the village of Belleau
and adjoining territory so that the
whole district may commemorate the
valor of our soldiers.
President Harding has Endorsed the
plan and already $1,000 subscriptions
to the proposed fund have been made
by Mrs. Frazer, Secretary Weeks, Col.
Robert NJ Thompson and Otto III.
Kahn. A woman in Philadelphia has
promised an equal amount.
The central committee here which
will direct the campaign for the fund
will have as honorary heads General
Pershing, Major General Harbord
and Major General LIE Jeune. Com
mittees are being formed all over the
country, and benefit performances,
etc, are being planned in many towns
and cities. Letters have been written
to the marine corps, the commanding
generals of the First, Third and
Twenty-sixth divisions and the heads
of organizations and clubs of veterans
belonging to all units which fought at
Belleau Wood.
Within the limits of the proposed |
