SEN. B0RAH MAKES
VIGOROUS STAND FOR
Law ENFORCEMENT

Washington. Oct. 15-Descrbinc
the prohibition amendment as "thc
storm center of the Constitution
u. S. Senator William T.. Borah at
the Citizenship Conference made a
strong appeal this afternoon for
law observance by all classes re-
CARELESS of personal feeling as to the
merits of a particular law.
Scathingly he denounced the men
of property and respectable citizens
who hout enforcement of the pro-
hibitiOn amendment. In his speech
on shall the Constitution of the
United States be Nullified?' he said
that Ire would be whining
hypocrite" if while speaking on the
observance of the Constitution he did
not protest against its violation in
the Imprisonment of the wartime
political prisoners.
In his address the Idaho Senator
stated that "the hotbed and noisy
rendezvous of lawlessness and of
cyni cal defiance of the Eigh-
tcenth Amendment is among those
of social standing large property
interests and the wealt I
homes" Men of this class, he said,
are more to be condemned than the
untutored foreign reds" Both he
declared would break down the Con-
stitution of the United States.
Pointing out that the question of
enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment is much greater than
that of prohibition he stated that
the observance of the Amendment
is vital to the cause of good govern
ment. Regarding the duty of the in
dividual state he declared that the
very existence of the Union requires
concerted action by the states in
carrying out the will of the people
as expressed in the Federal Con-
stitution.

The Berseker light on Boylston's

Now, indeed America was in it,"
the gross tangible proof for which her
government had forced her to wait
