help enforce the law they helped
'make? Who helped put the 18th
amendment in our constitution ?
Surely not the distiller and bootleg
ger. Then why whould we not use
all our influence to enforce the law
we helped to make?
A Partnership Deal
II believe that law observance and
law enforcement IS Il partnership
deal to be carried out by the officers
and citizens Of n community. Am |
not right when l say that Bismarck,
the capital city Of the state, ought
to set the example in law observance
and law enforcement? This is
where most of the laws are enacted
and where most Of the officials live
and it seems to me that law Obser-
vance and law enforcement ought
to be found here more than any
where else in the state. Several men,
who are in a position to know, have
told me that it is harder to get a
conviction against law-breakers, es-
pecially the violators of the Vol
stead Act, here in Bismarck than in
some Of the larger cities in our state.
Will someone please explain why this
is true? Some over Jealous Bis
marckitc may contradict this but my
information comes from men who
know. 1t is the duty of all good men
and women to help create an atmos-
pherc Of law observance in the city
and county"
Mr.. Holmes closed his sermon by
applying the demands of Gods law
to everyone and, by many apt illus
trations. showed how there was no
evasion of Gods law as revealed in
the Word of God. He called attcn-
ton to how the spirit Of ignoring all
kinds Of law is prevalent today. The
law in the land we love, the law in
the home, and also in the school
room, are problems that battle the
minds of those who stand for law
observance and law enforcement, he
said.
