RECKLESS EXPENDITURES
General Andrews Warns Agents
Against Reckless Expenditures
in Gaining Evidence

Prohibition agents were warned De-
cember q that RECKLESS, unjustihable ex-
penditures' during their work in the fu-
ture would cause their dismissal from the
enforcement service. In letter to pro-
hiblton administrators General Andrews
declared money for tracing down boot
leggerS must be used intelligently and eco
nomically, aud never used without COM
plcte Justification"
The warning was prompted by the Ho-
tel MayAower case. General Andrews
said this incident occurred in the early
days OF his occupancy OF the assistant
secretary's office and before he had taken
any steps toward reorganization. Il do
not feel, therefore, his letter said, that it
affords any occasion for severe discipline
OF those who were engaged in it. / do
feel that it affords telling object lesson
to the whole force, and therefore | am
bringing it TO your attention with the
understanding that you give this matter
your careful attention and see to it that
your operatives are instructed and your
supervision of their work is so careful
that anything of this kind can not recur
IN the future, with the added understand
ing that hereafter any case of reckless,
vnjustifable expenditure of public funds
will meet with severe discipline and, gem
orally speaking with the immediate sep
aration from office"
Andrews declared that he regarded un-
der-cover investigation as probably the
surest way to break up the bootlegging
industry, but he warned the agents tina,
they should not conduct themselves in
way as to enable violators of the law to
plead entrapment as a defense.

In Michigan on a referendum to al
low the manufacture and sale Of light
wine and beer the state majority for
constitutional prohibition, which had
been 68624, was lifted to a dry majority
OF 207, $50. In Kansas in 1914 a candi-
date for governor who ran on a platform
declaring for the resubmission of the pro-
hibition question was defeated by a ma
jority of almost 100000 votes and when
the national amendment came in Kan
sas, where prohibition had been tried
for almost hall a century. two hours at
ter the legislature had been called to
order i'll January, 1910 it ratified the ma

Senate. This was Kansas emphatic en-

adopted forty-four years before

viously cast majority of hundred thou

in the primaries of 1924 the wet forces
made determined effort to secure the
nomination of Congressman, state Iegs-

wine, but the drys were successful ia
nominating more dry candidates than at
any previous election. A similar thing
has recently taken place in Massachu-
sets where in 1923 a number of wet bills
were defeated. Then the wcts secured a
referendum on bill which proposed to
make it an offense under the state law
to manufacture, transport, import, or cX-
port any Intoxicating liquor without first
obtaining permits and complying with
all the requirements of the federal law

OF the people lived Ill no license territory,
81 per cent of the population lived IN
licensed territory. When the prohibition
law became effective January 10, 1920,
about per cent of the geographical area
of the United States was under license
and 05 per cent was under no license.
This was almost entirely the result OF
local option laws voted upon by the PEG
pie, state amendments, or various meas
ures which had been voted after due ag-
tation.
"Thc vote of Congress for the submits
sion of the prohibition amendment was
non-partsan so that no political party
alone was instrumental in securing the
enactment OF prohibition. In the United
States Senate there were 65 votes for and
20 against the submission OF the amend
ment. OF the 65, 81 were Republicans
and % were Democrats. In the House
of Representatives there we're 282 for
submission OF the amendment, 128 votes
against and the division of those voting
i'll favor of the submission Of the amend
ment was al Democrats, 137 Republi-
cans, Independents, Prohibitionist.
and | Progressive. The amendment was
initiated, submitted, and ratified in the
same manner as all of the other eighteen
amendments to the Constitution, JUST
flying my statement that it was enacted
by the overwhelming vote of the instru-
ments set up by the people. This amend
ment was ratified by DO of the states
the largest percentage ever ratifying any
amendment to the Constitution-and the
legislature shows that it received total
majority of SO per cent of all the state
Senators voting and 80 per cent of the
lower House. The Sixty-Sixth Congress,
which submitted the amendment, was
elected with the amendment as an issue
i'll the campaign.
"Now unless the Pioneer Press means
to say that President Coolidge was not
elected by vote of the people because as
all presidents he was elected by an cleo
toral college whose members several
months after the poll cast their votes for
Hill, tHc1l licH SldlcUleul even III lHe
form i'll which it is printed in the paper
is certainly not justified. We suppose
that the will of the people is registered
through the electoral college. We call
the functioning of the democratic insti-
tutions which we have set up the regis
tering of the will of the people, and in
my judgment justly so.
"But that is not all that can be said.
In many of the states there has been a
popular referendum. AT every oppor-
tunity in recent years such referendum
has shown the strength of the prohibition
sentiment. In 1910 Kentucky had a ref
erendum. 1t voted dry by 10,717. In
1913 and 1910 Ohio had a referendum.
They voted dry in 1918 by 29,721, the
question being the proposal of the vets
to provide for the manufacture and sale
of 2.75 per cent beer. In 1919 on a sim
liar proposition they voted dry again.

January, 1920, law was enacted for the
enforcement of the statewide prohibit
ton amendment The vets brought a

10 the AntI-Saloon League Convention IN
Chicago:
''The prohibition legislation enacted step
by step, by local option and then by over
whelming vote of the people is the most
thorough piece of conformity to the Amer
lean ideal of liberty in the history OF the
Republic"
What is it, we wonder, that tempts
good man and churchman to utter so
palpably false statement as this? Pro
hibition was not enacted by vote of the
people, overwhelming or otherwise, and
nobody knows it better than Bishop Mich
olson. The case for Volsteadism must be
weak indeed when eminent churchmen de-
scend to deliberate misrepresentation.
The reply to the above by Bishop
Thomas Nicholson, president OF the Anti
Saloon League of America:
"My attention has been called to an edi-
torial in the Pioneer Press under the cap
ton, a Bishop and the Truth As there
is bold accusation that | have made "a
palpably false statement and that | have
been guilty of deliberate misrepresenta-
ton, it seems necessary that | depart
from my usual custom of allowing such
articles to pass unnoticed and ask the
Pioneer Press to publish the following
statement as conspicuously as it published
its editorial.

from the manuscript of the address deliv
cred at Chicago: The prohibition legisla-
ton in America resultant as it is of a half
century of agitation and fair discussion at

then enacted by overwhelming vote of the
instruments set up by the people, is the
most thorough piece of conformity to the
American ideal of liberty in the history of
the republic. 1t is much more SO than
was the process in the abolition of slav
cry In later section of the address this
statement follows: Local option and
state measures were the greatest piece of

country Inch by inch on the basis of

difference seems slight, but is of great i'm
portance. The Pioneer Press makes me
say by overwhelming vote of the people,
What | actually said and what appears in
the manuscript still before me is enacted
by the overwhelming vote of the instru
ments set up by the people, However,
I accept the challenge and ask for the
publication of this statement of the case.
There was long and continued agita
ton of tie temperance and prohibition
question before the Civil War. The
movement was set back probably TWEEN
ty-fve years by the Civil War After
the reconstruction period in the late
eighties the agitation again began in real
earnest. When national prohibition be-
came effective January 10, 1920, thirty
ty-three states had adopted state prohibi
ton laws. Both Alaska and Porto Rico
voted dry on a referendum. The follow

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. October 5.--An at
tempt to unite Democratic women OF
the State and bring about harmony
for the success Of the ticket next
month will be made at the convention
of the Maryland Womens Democratic
Association here tomorrow.
A movement for the amalgamation
of the association and the United
Democratic Women's Clubs was start
ed by the latter organization in June,
and a committee of three was ap-
pointed to confer with a committee
of the same number in the other
club for the purpose of drafting a
plan of cooperation in the event
there are too many obstacles in the
way of amalgamatiOn.
One of the difficulties in the pla n
for cooperation. according to a mem
her of the Maryland Women's Demo
cratic Association, is that the opposi-
ton organization may indorse candi,
dates for State offices. while the Mary
land Women'S Democratic Association
does not indorSe candidates for State
offices, but only candidates for such
places as the State central commit
tee, congressional campaign commit
tee and similar committees.
