City and Village Ordinances Essential to
Prohibition Enforcement

Section SO Of the Illinois Prohibition Law provides
that cities and villages shall have power adopt ordi
embracing such provisions of the state prohibit
ton law applicable to cities and villages
In all instances where empowered every municipality,
manifestly should have ordinance under which
enforce all state laws through its own officials Under
the local option and license regimes in Illinois, munich
pates throughout the state adopted ordinances in har-
mony Herewith. Since the adoption of the Eighteenth
Amendment and the Illinois Prohibition Act, such ordi-
nances are obsolete. Scores of cities and villages have
brought their ordinances up to date by adopting one of
the liquor question in harmony with the state law Many
have not yet done
No municipality is doing its full duty under the Eight
zenith Amendment and the state law unless it
its share of responsibility for the maintenance of the
Constitution and the state laws The municipality which
does adopt uptodate ordinance and enforce it,
grossly shrks its duties and responsibilities under
system of government. Teamwork by federal state and
municipal authorities is essential the enforcement of
every penal statute, whether it pertains gambling,
vehicle traffic liquor traffic. or some other subject.
Prohibition must be bu1ded from the bottom up; not
from the top down. The federal governments place in
the scheme Of prohibition enforcement has been wholly
misunderstood by many of best people. The state
is given power expressly by Section of the
Eighteenth Amendment to enforce prohibition 1t was
the intention of the Congress in the submission of the
Eighteenth Amendment and in carrying its pro-
visions through the Volsead Law, confne the actv
ties of the federal government to the larger of vio
aton such seizure of large stills, breweres ntra
transportation and protection of the thousands of
miles of border and coast line against smuggling
1t is ridiculous to even think of calling upon the fed
era government to police municipalities to the
tent OF looking after ordinary violations Of the liquor
law. We have one of the strongest most efficient and
practical prohibition enforcement codes of any state in
the Union And with the section which so completely
empowers municipalities enforce the law, there is
why officials, county and municipal cannot
drive out the bootleggers and blind piggers. They
il they will. J. II. {.

She into the office of the League, weary, shabby,

band had been drinking man before prohibition came;
how he had held position a salesman in a large
realty in his town; how just before prohibition
went into effect he had been discharged account of
Drunkenness how their home at that time, for which

crosby of friend how when prohibition ray of
hope entered her life and how he had said that he wanted

and he couldn't pass the saloons; how he glad pro-

whereas in order make ends for several years
they had rented nearly all of the out because they
had practically other income after the saoonkeepers
had taken their toll.
Then the several sa1oonkeepers, who had been the
of her husbands ruin again began to sell liquor;
they got the husband into their clutches and again he
went down into the gutter. He finally became weak

from him fast he made it. She told how again the
home about to be taken away from them when she
tried among half dozen of his friends get loan of
$50 to it. only to find that from three of them her
husband IL order buy drinks, had borrowed money,
and they did not know the conditions his home. She
related the pathetic story of of the three little
whose eyes poor he couldn't do his school work;
how she had his eyes examined and how pair of glasses
had been fitted for him and for months lay at the op-
clans while the lad stayed of school because she could
get the money to pay for them.
She went to the officials who had that they
would enforce the law they hadn't any time for her.
She pleaded with the saloonkeeper who most
sponsbe, and he answered. Get out I've protection
Yell all you want to-
Finally to her boys and herself from disgrace she
barred the door of her home to the husband and father
and with broken body, broken heart, and almost
wrecked mind she grmy faces the world alone to try
to fill her obligations to her little ones.
And this saoonkeeper and his political protector and
