BY ALBERT T.. RITCHIE,
Governor of MARYLAND

To over-centralization IS largely due
the modern motion that law, instead Of
being system to protect life, liberty
and property, is rather a scheme for
social control, intended to secure the
moral wellbeing of the individual, and
generally to secure it by forcing upon
all the people what some of the peo-
pie think their wellbeing requires.
When you set up the central Gov
eminent as q parenS patriae it easily
becomes the instrument OF leagues" ."
groups" militant minorities," and
au who seek to make man over to
their own notions, or TO translate their
own moral ideas into general legal
precepts Hence tho numerous laws
which undertake to regulate human
conduct, without due regard to
whether they are effective to do this
or not, and without regard to whether
the same purpose could not be better
accomplished without any law at ALL
The life of the law is it's enforce
ment, No law is in fact law unless
it can be enforced. A law restricting
personal freedom cannot be enforced
until the moral precepts and con-
plies approve it. Such a law must re-
fleet the convictions Of society. It's
appeal must be answered by the will
to obey.
Must Have Public Support.
Whenever a law not measuring up
to this standard is made applicable
| throughout a country which contains
communities in which the people, or
a majority Of the people. refuse to
| give it social sanction, then that law
| will not be observed and cannot be
| enforced in those communities. When
| a law does violence to the individual
| conscience 1t will not be observed
When it does violence to the social
conscience it will not be enforced.
One would think the fifteenth amend
ment was sufficient proof of this.
There Is no doubt that the majority
| of the people of the States as a whole
favor the enfranchisement of the
negro, and the law Of the land en-
| franchises him. But conditions and
I local opinion in the States of the South
are against 1t. The law has no social
sanction there. Hence it is not OBJ
served and becomes simply a dead
| letter.
Take the case Of national prohibit
! ton and the Volstead act.
Here is q vast social experiment,
undertaking to standardiZe by law the
personal habits of all the people in all
the States, and inaugurated at a time
when the people of each State were
engaged in working out the problem
for themselves, through local prohibit
| ton in those States where that re-
ceived the sanction of society, and
through measures which either had
attained temperance or were rapidly
attaining temperance in States where
1t did not.
Restriction of Liberty.
Moreover. the experiment was un-
dertaken by means Of a law which,
whatever may be It's appeal to the
people of some States, lacks entirely
the sanction of popular approval in
other States. Here was law not In
defense of liberty but in restriction Of
| 1t.
So long as it exists, it should, Of
course, be upheld and respected, but
just as good citizens in the South feel
that refusal to obey the fifteenth
amendment involves no moral issue

Continued from last week.

Fate had certainly played a
strange trick on me. Here l found
myself, thousands of miles from
home, prisoner in States prison,
not knowing a soul in the entire
State and while but three weeks in
the prison, / find myself, during
working hours, outside the prison
walls, in the front office with a desk
and regular work allotted to me and
being addressed by my name and
not number The most strange part,
however was the fact that they ac-
cepted me, in spite of what l was,
because could do the necessary
work. Such an opportunity, /, as a
colored man was unable to obtain
readily in the free world. / put my
entire heart and soul into my work
which at that time included the bill
ing and handling of all correspond
ence relative to the sales of the
prisons industries, principally binder
Irvine.
Highly Complimented.
l was highly complimented by all
the officials in the office and each
compliment but spurred me on to
do more and better work. 1t was
not long before / was doing more
than the original amount of work
allotted to me and my desk soon
came to be the dumping ground for
work from everyone, some of which
i already knew how to do and
others that l had to learn. One day
the chief clerk, who was a native of
Kentucky and fully embellished with
Kebntuckian ideas, had some special
correspondence he wished to dictate.
There were but two other typists,
one of whom was also a stenog-
rapher, in the office, and the latter,
the Warden's Secretary, did not
have time to take the chic fclerk's
dictation when the sales manager.
for whom ! was directly working
suggested that he give his dictation
to me-. The Kentuckian was very
frank. He stated that he had never
before been in an office where a
colored men was employed in
clerical capacity and doubted
whether | could take his rapid die
tation, but would try me once.
strained every mental faculty and
with rapt attention concentrated on
the chief clerks dictation for sew
eral hours. After the work had
been wholly transcribed and re-
turned to the chief clerks desk he
was so pleased with same that he
immediately asked my employed if
he couldn't arrange my work so that
l could handle his correspondence
daily. This was done. (The finest
unsolicited recommend that have
ever known was given to me by this
same Kentuckian when he left the
prison for better position and in
cidentally l was the only person in
the office who received any recon-
mend whatever.)

The War Broke Out.

After / had been in the front
office for few weeks the war
broke out and the Warden's Secre-
tary was called in the first draft.
Attempts were made to secure an
other, but young men possessing the
necessary qualifications were at that
time finding better money elsewhere
and J. was asked to handle the
Warden's personal work until a
permanent secretary could be Sc
cured. Of course 1 was only too
glad to have this honor and every
piece of work | turned out for the
Warden / made it masterpiece
with the result that they never Sc.
cured anyone else to handle his
work and | continued in the dual
capacity of Warden's SECRETARY, and
general office clerk for a period of
nearly a year when fate opened up
other avenues.
An Inside Story.
1t might be interesting here to
detail and relate the inside story of
the. big prison and it's daily life,
etc., which information is seldom
correctly revealed. 1t was during
this period that | wrote a special
feature article, using a nom de
plume and under the guise of a
special writer, for The Chicago De-
fender, describing conditions that
then existed within the big prison
as far as the colored race was con.
cerned.
A Michigan Prison.
AS every narrative of. this article
is true, and while it is obvious that
the writer who now has his free
dom does not care to have his name
broadcasted it would do no harm tt
disclose the prison and the State
about which we have been writing
The State is Michigan and tn,

about seventy-five miles west of De
