tan Temperance Union, and all other or
CARNATIONS interested in community well
fare as affected by prohibition, that they
seriously and vigorously resume the cam
paign designed to bring about state of
mind in the communities which not only
believes in prohibition, but insists upon its
observance and enforcement, particularly
by those holding public office.
1.-THE prohibition unit has not been
treated fairly. Unconsciously perhaps,
you who believe in this law, and who
greatly desire its successful operation, by
standing back and leaving it to the federal
government to enforce, have put burden
on the federal government which it can
not carry, and which the law never in
tended that it should carry. Local police
work must be done by home govern
ments.
The Evolution of Prohibition
"The evolution of prohibition from the
first laws which made the small commun-
tiles dry, developing step by step through
larger jurisdictions until it became a ma
tional law has assumed, and always must
assume that each community shall police
itself so far as local law violations are
concerned. The need for having the law
cover a wider jurisdiction was always felt
because the given community which
wished to be dry found itself invaded
from without its jurisdiction by liquor
importations and the widening of the
scope of the law was intended to prevent
these importations. Thus the national
law is intended to prevent the traffic in
liquor and make it possible for each COM
munity, by policing itself locally, to exist
happily without liquor distribution.
'The federal government therefore will
have done its full part when it eliminates
the sources of supply and the traffic in
liquor by which it is moved from one
community to another. This it Can hope
to do if its energies may be concentrated
upon this task. In order that this may be
done, it must be relieved of its present
task of local police work. The more that
is done in any given state, the better will
the prohibition laws be enforced in that
state.
ain looking forward, it is useless to at
tempt to prophesy what may be accom-
plished under our reorganization, as it is
impracticable to measure accurately what
has already been accomplished. 1t can
only be stated that vigorous action is be-
ing inaugurated to make the law enforce
ment agencies as effective as possible. 1t
is believed that considerable advance has
already been made along these lines, and
that marked advance will be made when
the new organization, policy and regula
tons are in full operation-and when the
responsibilities for self government have
been reassumed by the states and the
communities, and the federal officer is no
longer forced to be a village policeman"
W. G. Abbott, of Christian Science Moni-
tor, on the Press and Prohibition
Willis J. Abbott, editor of Christian
Science Monitor, spoke on THE Influence
of the Press" 1t was his opinion that
the rural press welded greater influence
