IOWA POOR OVERSEERS
ENDORSE PROHIBITION
(Herald and Examiner.

Des Moines, Ap~i! Il 12-Overseers OF
the poor in counties scattered in all
parts OF Iowa have swung their in
dorsement to the side of national pro-
hibition, according to results OF a
statewide survey OF present day con-
ditions among the poor, given out to-
day by the statistical department OF
the Iowa Anti-Saloon League. The
survey shows that wives and children
are better taken care OF than during
the days OF the saloon and that poyer-
ty-stricken families are better able to
raise themselves from poverty than
when many OF them spent their saw
ings for liquor.

Dry Drama Great Success

forced?' written by Q. q. Christgau.
will be kept in the field TO inform and
arouse. citizens OF Illinois relative to
dry law enforcement This drama has
already been presented between four
and five hundred times in me state OF
Illinois. Since lis first production in
this state it has beer given at state
and national prohibition conventions
in Milwaukee, Oklahoma City, Den
yer, Boston Burlington VI. and
Washington, D. c. 1t las been pre-
sented by state and national teams in
Iowa, Michigan, Oklahoma, Montana,
Wyoming, Pennsylvania. Delaware
and Maryland. This dramatic debate
will be repeated during the next year
in many places where it has already
been given. Ii will also be presented
in many communities where it has not
yet appeared.

excuse and reason for it, then it
would be time, and more than time, to
shut up shop and consider that democ-
racy, as we understand it, is failure.
"Such a concession, however. I be
lieve that the American people will
never be willing to make. Appalling
as the facts i'll this prohibition business
are, they must not and shall not be
construed as a proof that the task
ahead is an impossible one. As | said
before, that is where we come in-you
and I-thc rank anil file.
In the last analysis, it is largely be
cause we have stood aside, have not
cared enough, that the present situation
has dcveloped-and it is our response
bility to put an end to 1t.
III individuals are going to arrogatc
to themselves the right to decide which
which one of our laws they intend to
violate, and which they are graciously
willing to observe, why then the whole
fabric OF our institutions as a lawabid-
ing and self-respecting nation is de
stroyed--and the question before US to-
day is whether we are going to abide
by the law or whether We are going to
allow noisy and arrogant minority to
set themselves up above it.
"For it is a minority that is making
all our trouble-and a small minority at
that, 1t is our responsibility-yours
and mine-and organizations such as
this one, to prove ard demonstrate that
fact to the timd politicians"

special efforts will be made to reach
the schools and colleges OF the state
with temperance instruction and good

have been formulated to present the
dramatic debate, Can the Law Be
Enforced?" in all CT the colleges and
universities of the state in co-opera-

debate and also the moving picture,
Lest We Forget" will be presented

Officials Who Fail

First the failure OF the men in au-
thority-governorS, mayors, police oil
hcials, executives ot all kinds, judges.
magistrates, district attorneys, and SO
on-either to enforce the law as they
swore to do when they took their oath
of office, or to respect it; second, the
encouragement which this attitude has
given to the bootlegger and the rum
runners to dcfy it for their own profit
and third. the moral obtuseness OF
thousands of decent-mnded men and
women (decent-minded, that is, on all
other issues except this one) who, for
the qualification of their own undisci-
plined appetites, are willing to set this
whole evil cycle in motion-for, after
all, remember that without buyers there
can be no sellers that without a mar
ket there will be no bootleggers, no
rum-runners, no poisoned alcohol, few
corrupt judges. These three things, to-
gether-unfaithfu officials. venal pro-
curers. lawlcss consumers-have con-
verted, as | said before, the prohibition
question OF yesterday into the law en-
iorccment problem of today, and our
failure to solve il is heaping upon
America the deepest disgrace that has
ever como to it.

Points Out Peril to Nation if
Lawlessness Prevails
WET MINORITY ENDANCERS
RESPECTFOR GOVERNMENTS
Individual Citizens Most to Blame
for Dry Law Failure
GOOD OFFICIALS ENFORCE LAW

At the convention of the National
League of Women Voters in Buffalo
ON April %, Mrs. Clifford Pinchot, wife
of the Governor of Pennsylvania, made
stirring appeal for loyalty to the
laws of the nation. The following ex-
tracts from her address are relative TO
prohibition :
"You know historians tell US that
after every great war the ties that bind
society together become loosened-
that general social disntegration in
variably follows. The truth OF that
statement is being proved beyond per
adventure OF doubt today. In many
countries of Europe we have seen the
people in their restlessness and de-
spair breaking through those conven-
tions and restraints that spell civiliza-
tion--and even in the countries where
order is most respected signs exist that
the ferment is at work. Here in Amer
ica our problem is somewhat different
we have been able to recuperatc more
quickly, but even here we have not es-
capped.
Nov the Generalization takes many
forms-onc of the most subvcrsive and
dangerous of which is the open viola
ton of the Eighteenth Amendment
that we sec around us on every side

cynical contempt for law by any group,

Enforcement is Simple

There is no mystery about the en-
forcement OF law. 1t is simple, direct,
and obvious, and depends largely upon
the character and integrity of the men
who are cha'gcd with administering it.
Violations, except il. small number OF
cases, would cease almost automat-
ically ii the offenders did not count
upon immunity, ii they were convinced
that police officials, prosecuting attor-
neys, and judges, etc, stood squarely
behind the law, ready and willing to do
their full duty. II oil officials, from the
head of the servite in Washington
down to the smallest sheriff in the re-
motest county, would cooperate sin
cerely and earnestly for the full and
vigorous enforcement OF the law, the
problem would be we'll ON its way to
solution. The speedy arrest OF all law
brcakers-their immediate trial. di-
vorced of technicalities, and unneces-
sary legal delays and distractions
upon conviction, the certainty OF a
maximum prison sentence instead OF as
now the imposition of a nominal fine
which amounts to little more than a
high license fee-then the job would be
half done.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1924-05-02

During the next year the Anti-Sa-
loon League will carry on the most
elaborate. comprehensive and far
reaching educational program against
the alcoholic liquor traffic ever at
tempted in this state. Every effective
method and all available means will be
used to reach the public with the facts
about prohibition. All sections OF the
state and all classes OF people will have
anti-aleohol messages brought to
them. All the regular educational ia
cilities OF the Anti Saloon League will
be used with their scope enlarged and
effectiveness increased
In addition to literature. lecturers,
newspaper articles and Other methods
long in use, the Anti Saloon League
will use moving pictures, drama and
the radio in its educational campaign.

A Real Menace

II don't want TO be in the class with
t-bose vino arc always viewing with
alarnl-but in all seriousness do feel
that this defiant and shameless mock
ing at the prohibition laws today is a
real menace TO our institutions, which
if allowed to continue, may we'll mean
the destruction of democracy, of the
system which this country was founded
TO perpctuatc, and upon which it was
built. As such. this condition should
be matter OF deep concern to every
one of us.
Il realize, of course, that on the
question OF prohibition itself there are
many different points of view, and al
ways will be-well, perhaps, not al
ways, for it is barely conceivable that
in the dim far off future new genera
ton may emerge more interested in
what comes out of their heads than
what goes into their stomachs. One
likes to think that this may be possible.
At any rate, it is consummation de-
voutly to be wished for.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1924-05-02
Gathering Scattered Shot

so much for violations after they
occur-that is one side of it. But after
all what we are concerned with is to
prevent the violations from td.lng
place at all, to dam up the sea OF lille
gal liquor which, once let loose upon
its way, proves so potent a source OF
corruption to public officials, bootleg
gers, and consumers alike.
Someone used the simile OF bird
shot scattered over the floor. 1t is en-
tirely possible to control the shooting
but extremely difficult and hdeously
to pick up the scattered shot
after it has once been fired.
Clamorous Vets
81 don't mean to attack Governor
Smith, OF New York, for in many ways
! think he has made a fine and out
standing Governor. | am merely try
ing to show the terror OF being dry is
abating in the minds OF the
politicians as they hear from the coun-
try-as they learn to distinguish be-
tween the voices c! a few clamorous
vets and the millions of still small
voices all through the country that are
demanding honest and self-respecting
OF all laws.
1T is your job-yours and mine--to
sec to it that men in public Office hear
these voices. The minority has been
both noisy and arrogant, but hitherto
the majority has not been organized
and has had little opportunity to eX-
press itself. An organization such as
this one can be OF the utmost value in
making these men understand the
strength and vitality OF the demand for
a rigorous enforcement of the law.
"When not only Governor Smith in
New Yorl, is beginning to see the light,
but even that protasonist OF personal
liberty, Governor Silzer, of New Jer
scy, is staging raids and making DEM
