Federal Enforcement Reorganization

The reorganization OF federal enforcement agencies by
dividing the nation into districts each in charge OF an
administrator promises be effective than the old
system. Some OF the pointed by General
Superintendent Mcbride in another article in this num-
Der.
There is a danger in the plan which is fault of
the plan itself Too much reliance is likely be placed
upon the federal enforcement department and enough
npon local enforcement officials. The publicity
the federal and federal agents in
their fight uphold the Constitution and the federal
laws leads many to lose sight of the importance of action
under state and local laws by and local officials.
The federal plan should be relied upon and may be
expected be effective only in connection with that part
OF the enforcement problem which properly belongs to
the federal government.
The arrangement does not increase the number of
federal and does increase the number of fed
eral agents 1t merely permits them operate against
liquor law-breakers directly and with less interior
ence from outside influences 1t is still necessary for
county sherfs states attorneys, judges, boards of
pcrviSors and other county and local officials ag
excessively against vioaor of the law within their
rtory 1t is still important to provide
prohibition commissioner who bring violators
trial in 1t is still necessary that beyond the
officials and their work of enforcement campaign of
education be continuously carried in order that
1ightened public sentiment may give to the prohibition
laws the support of public opinion and popular observ

Ancient Testimony Against Booze

The following statements commended to the atten
ton of modern historians who that prohibition
suddenly slipped over on a unsuspecting public:
The habit of using ardent spirits by in Offices has
occasoned more injury the public and more trouble to
than all other Were to my adj
minisraon again the first question would ask respect
ing candidate for office would be, Does he ardent
spirits y efferson.
Drunkenness is not only the of crime but it is
crime and any encourage drunkenness for the sole of
the profit derived from the sale OF drink they guilty
of form of moral assassination criminal any that
has been practced by the crimes of any country
IN any age.'-Ruskin
Some OF the domestic evils of drunkenness houses
without windows gardens without ferns fields without
tillage, barns without roofs children without clothing,
principle morals manners '-Franklin.
"a drunkard is Improbable for any kind of good
vice."-Pato.
The fact is that the wrath OF the people accommodating
through the years against the alcoholism evil resulted in
constitutional prohibition.

The Fighting Spirit

A report OF its study OF prohibition has recently been
made by the Federal Council OF Churches. References
this report in the newspapers indicate that both
and dry writers prohibition subjects have failed to
establish their conclusions by definite facts and sound
statistics.
The press reports indicate that the conclusions
OF the Federal Council of Churches report based
the answers to QUESTIONABLE distributed by them Press
reports do not indicate whom these questionnares
suggest whether the opinions given i'll
thereto considered more reliable than concu
sons based authoritative statistics
However, the report does call attention to things
which says, might be expected to follow precpi-
tate change in social policy
First, falling away the part of the religious and
moral forces from the crusading enthusiasm which
brought about the regime
Secondly the rapid development of a counter
of popular opinion which in this made many
times effective by the fact that what is regulated
merely custom, but appetite which men will pay
heavily to crafty"
The National Convention of the Anti-Saloon League
be held in Chicago will doubt show that there has
been great decrease in the crusading enthusiasm of
those who support prohibition Nevertheless thing
lacking has been the unified concerted aggressive
tack by the united church forces that resulted in the
adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment within
years of the famous Columbus Convention in 1913. Dry
leaders who have watched the tides of sentiment pro-
hibton for than quarter of century predict that
the Chicago convention will crystalline and systematic
the undimnished erusading spirit into a movement that
will decisivcly defeat the army of notification
