Prohibition Pot and Kettle.

Little is gained by the pot calling
the kettle black. Gov. Pinchot OF
Pennsylvania. in an address before
the great citizenship conference on
law enforcement now in session here,
practically charged that the failure of
prohibition enforcement lay at the
door Of Washington, the federal gov.
ernment. Federal Prohibition Com.
missioner Haynes, on the other hand,
addressing the same conference,
charged that the fault lay in the fail.
ure of adequate cooperation on the
part of the state and municipal au-
thorities with the federal government.
These gentlemen united on one
thing, the blackness of politics as
it is played in this country. Mr..
Pinchot urged that the prohibition en-.
forcement service be taken out of
politics" Mr.. Haynes urged that poll
tics be made clean" by the people in
the states, and insisted that under
such conditions there would be no
doubt about the enforcement of pro-
hibltion or any other law.
Under the system of government
that prevails in the United States,
party government, it appears impos-
sible. as practical matter. to take
prohibition enforcement out of politics.
The suggestion of Mr.. Haynes that
politics be improved gets at the real
meat of the situation.
The citizenship conference has be-
gun as great movement on the part
OF an aroused people to bring about
obedience to and respect for the law.
1t would be sad, indeed, IL the real is
sue. so vital to the republic, should
become beclouded through a contro-
versy as to whether the federal gov
ernment or the state governments are
to blame for the lack of enforcement
of the prohibition law. Not only
would it be sad, but it would be cause
for considerable rejoicing on the part
of the lawbreakers.
What is needed il cooperation TO
the uttermost degree between state
and federal authorities in the war on
the criminals now violating the Con-
stitution and the dry law. There is
little to be proud of, either in Wash.
ington or In Pennsylvania today.
when it comes to the question of VIC.
lation Of the prohibition act. Undoubt-
edly the ventilation Of these evil con.
ditions will do good.
One thing is increasingly evident as
the citizenship conference has pro
gressed. The time has come when men
in high places, merely because they
are in high places, are not TO be long
immune from obedience to the pro-
hibition law. if the people who believe
in prohibition have their way. The
speakers have pointed out that it is
not the poor, ignorant foreigner or
mountaineer who needs attention most.
but those respectable citizens of means,
who act as if prohibition applied in full
force to the worker, the man who was
compelled to get his liquor in the cor
ner saloon, but not at all to them.
