NATIONAL-Hugh Walpole.

The National Theater was filled
yesterday afternoon with an audience
full OF enthusiastic admiration for
Hugh Walpole. the British author,
who is internationally recognized as
a leading novelist and possessor of a
charming personality and wit. MIR.

The striking success of Walter
Hampden's presentation of the role
of shylock yesterday afternoon at

that the star compelled attention, not
because he was to be credited with
any unusual Interpretation OF the

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED

Whereas, A great organization op-
posed to prohibition, backed by cor
ruption fund of untold millions of dol
lars, having seats of activity in all the
great centers and extending lines of
operation into every precinct of the
nation, stimulating lawlessness and
nurturing contempt for the Constitu-
ton and the laws, putting a cringing
fear of duty into the hearts of many
public officials.
Therefore, Be it resolved, by the
congregation of the Methodist Epis-
copal church of Watseka, that we
heartily commend the states attorney,
Mr.. Elmer Taylor, and the sheriff, Mr..
Bae Stewart, for their successful eff
forts in apprehending and bringing to
justice bootleggers of Watseka and

Resolved, That we pledge them and
every good officer, our good will, and
also our service in whatever practical
way they may suggest.
Resolved, That, in view of the des-
perate character of these criminals, we
urge the inficton of the full penalty
of the law, both in fines and in i'm

application of the full penalty is essen

MY Countrymen: 1t has been said
that "Of the making OF books there
is no end" Quite as truthfully it
might be paraphrased "Of the max
ing OF laws there is no end" We
americans undoubtedly hold all rec
ords for the making OF a multiplicity
OF laws, state and national. If VIC
were as assiduous about obeying and
enforcing obedience to them as we
are in demanding and enacting them
there would be no particular occa-
sion for me to address you today on
the general subject OF law enforce
ment. We all recognize that to SC
cure effective administration OF the
laws, to establish in the public mind
an attitude of willing acceptance and
obedience to law. is the most impress
sive mark of civilized community.
Laws. OF course, represent restric-
tons upon individual liberty. and in
these very restrictions make liberty
more secure. The individual sur
renders something OF his privilege to
do as he pleases for the common
good, and so organized society is pos
sible. 1t is successful just about in
proportion as laws are wise. as they
represent deliberate and intelligent
public opinion, and as they are
obeyed. Civilization had to travel a
long way before it came to be com
monty accepted that even an unwise
law ought to be enforced in orderly
fashion. because such enforcement
would insure its repeal or modihca
ton, also in orderly fashion, if that
were found desirable.

Position Misunderstood; America
Called Lawless

"At this point it is worth while TO
raise a voice in protest against the
vast volume OF half-baked criticism
that IS constantly aimed against
Americans. on the ground that they
are alleged to be an undisciplned
and rather lawless community. The
criticism, OF course, arises out of the
fact that during the period OF a
very short national life, during which
the currents of human affairs and
interests have moved more rapidly
than in any other period OF history,
we have been under the necessity to
establish institutions, laws, modes OF
administration, which not only would
meet the requirements of new COM
munity established i'll a new world,
but would permit adaptation to rap
idly changing conditions. 1t comes
also of the very erroneous impress
sion of many nationals that our lib
erty is a license, instead of guaran-
teed freedom under the law
"Older countries have had the privi-
lege OF developing laws and insttu-
tons slowly, gradually, painstak-
ingly, through multiplied centuries in
which change was commonly OK
tremely slow. America had to build
on the foundation of long-established
European models not always adapt

in modification and readaptation.
Moreover, we started our experiment
just at the time when the old medic
