FEDERAL OFFICIAL URGES
 RESPECT FOR DRY LAWS
Woman Attorney General Makes Speech ih Behalf of Statute
 Observers.

Los Angeles, Oct. 10.-NothirS is more alarming than that phase of lawlessness in which citizens choose which laws they shall obey and which they shall disregard, said Ma bel Walker Willebrandt, assistant United States attorney general. in a recent address In this city.
 Speaking of the prohibition law, Mrs. Wilebrandt said: Repeal 1t or respect it. The man who does not believe In tho dry law" she con- tinued, "and who seeks to repeal 1t by proper and orderly processes, at the same time obeying 1t himself, is just as good citizen as anyone else.
 "The man who Is blind to the dut- ies of citizenship is the opponent of the dry law who tries to justify his disobedience to 1t by saying that it can't be enforced and ought to be repealed.
 Trying to enforce the prohibi- tlon law by spending too much time hunting out the little vioiator, Is like trying to cut down a tree by picking off the leaves. The way to accomplish 1t is by putting an ax to the root, by getting the big men who are supported by big men,"
 As ah example of the moral effect of catching the big ones," Mrs. Willebrandt cited a Georgia case in which S5 convicted violators, includ- ing SO millionaires, went to the pen- itentiary. After that public senti- ment in Georgia, heretofore hostile, was openly that "the Federal govern ment meant business and should be supported"
