Name Of Citizen Informant in Liquor Case,
Court Rules Not to Be DivuIged

It is common knowledge that the enforcement of pro-
hbon is seriously retarded because of the reluctance
with which citizens divulge information of law violations
The wel-known weapons of the booteggers and moon
sinners oftmes have resulted in the complete terrorzng
of community that has launched activity against them.
The United States Circuit Court Of Appeals First Dis
trct, in the of Seguroa United States has
dered opinion holding that officer who has received
confidential information of liquor law Violations need not
demand of the defense his informant The Dis
ttct Attorney in this objected question sought
elicit this information from officer the witness
stand stating that he objected the ground that such
facts secrets of the police force which should be
stated in court of justice and the stating of the
of such information would be against public safety The
objection sustained by the District Judge and the
Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed his ruling citing long
list of legal precedents.

Shall the Anti-Saloon League En'crcc
the Law?
the Law?

Many people ask the question negatively by saying,
"Why does the Anti-Saloon League enforce the pro-
hbition law Some go to the extreme OF finding fault
and scoldng because do not enforce the law.
Our answer TO this demand is threefold. In the first
place. because it is the function of the An-Saoon
League We are a voluntary group of citizens who are
engaged in developing public sentiment against great
national evil We have maintained activities until
that great national evil has been made outlaw cons-
tuonally and we have secured the enactment of eff
fectve laws to enforce the principle of prohibition
This law is present under bitter attack from those
who desire to maintain the evil against which the law is
directed. They moved by appetite for liquor or
greed for money and they live in own country and
in foreign lands AS long the law is under vigorous
attack and the principle upon which is founded is be-
ing powerfully assaled is duty sustain and de-
fend the law and keep before people the for
its enactment. The theory of that law must be main
tanned and popuarized i'll order that working majority
of public opinion may be behind it. This task is large
and important that absorbs time energy mind and
money of the Ant-Saloon League in performing it.
But there other considerations which make it plain
that neither the Anti-Saoon League any other SINH
lar organization should involve itself in the business of
law enforcement In unorganized state of society,
citizens must band themselves together for the restraint
of criminals and the maintenance of law and order But
in organized community there is special department
of our government charged with police duty and high
~ developed system of exists for the maintenance
OF good order The stability of social organization
only be maintained when the various departments of
government function they should. As long as
any officials fail to perform their duty and still per-
mitted to hold office and draw their salaries the citizen
must insist that they perform the duty with which they
are charged. For the citizen leave them in their Of
fetal positions and unoicaly attempt to perform their
functions tends to undermine whole civic organiza-
ton and do that which will eventually destroy the gov
eminent itself. No private organization the
task OF law enforcement with safety to the Republic.

God and the Ballet Box

'Vox popul vo del" said the ancients, the voice of
the people is voice OF God" Then insofar as that is
tue in our American organization of civic affairs, the
ballot box is the voice of God That is where the Amer
lean people really express themselves oicaiy ana II Is
the only place.
The air is filled with the racket caused by various
groups of people shouting at the tops of their voices
what they approve and what they do not approve They
burden the air with propaganda good bad and lndii-
feren but there is only place where the whole peo-
pie are supposed speak and that is at the ballot box
In theory comes expressing the sentiment OF
the entire American people than any other agency pro-
vided in Our scheme Of government That is the voice
which speaks with final authority and directs the affairs
of vast commonwealth.
How imperative then that all classes of people should
participate in the ballot How essential that the most
thoughtful and most conscientious should make their
voices heard in this effective way.
Judge Iarecki, who is making such a heroic fight to
maintain the purity of the ballot in Chicago stated in an
address recently that $4,000 fewer votes were cast Ill
Chicago in the recent election of judges than cast
two years ago. And yet the judges are men who enforce
our laws They deal directly with battling problem
OF crime They should be among our wisest and most
conscientious jurists. They should be selected with the
aid of the wsest OF population And yet the neglect
OF civic duty in the question of the ballot found IN the
most cultured wards In many precincts among the So
called Ignorant and benghted often happens that
more votes are than the entire number of registered
voters. But it is notorious to have become trite
that in the cultured wards of the city, the number
OF ballots equals the number of voters regis
tered and in many instances scarcely equals half that
number.
1t is be feared that in such cases, through such
failure perform civic duty the voice of the American
ballot box is often the voice of the god of the under
world rather than that of the upperworld and if the for
is heard too often it can only lead us into national
perdihon.
If we are really preserve odr national integrity and
our national ideals, all Americans must make the ballot

Citizens Approach

The business of all good citizens who interested in
the enforcement of the law put all possible
upon officials who charged with their duty If as
much energy spent by wellorganized groups of peo
pie in bringing pressure bear upon delinquent officials
as is spent in general noisy scoding about affairs,
could undoubtedly correct the evil.
We sometimes feel like writing to your officials across
the whole American sky. Talk to your officials Write
to them Report violations of the law to them, and in
sst that they do their duty. Let them know that you
are awake and fully that they not doing
the work to which they appointed Be persistent
in demanding enforcement of the law wrongdoers
in seeking to evade it.
These are the principles which guide the Anti-Saoon
League in its relation to law enforcement We keep in
touch with the officers far possible give them all
the assistance cam and bring to their attention all
liable information at command in regard to the
places where and the persons who dsobey the law
There is yet another consideration and that is that
the Anti-Saoon League is qualified to enforce the
law In the formation of this republic, the Fathers in
their WISDOM separated completely the legislative and
the executive functions of government and this disnc
ton has been maintained down to the smallest unit of
our organization. The qualities which fit for leg
isatve services entirely different from those required
in police duty and enforcement of the law. Years of
training have made Ant-Saloon League efficient in
the development of popular opinion and agitation in
support of great and judcious promotion and
direction of legislative activity and equal degree

it has ade them policemen and detectives That is
calling by itself peculiarly distinct service that it
has been recognized from the beginning of govern
ment belonging separate official department. We
cannot bridge that gap and mast not be expected to
do
And finally, the task assigned to us is sufficiently large
to absorb all the time strength and mind of those who
engaged in it. For the good of the community and
for the safety of prohibition we'll for the OF
enforcement ITSELF that department of the work must be
assumed by others
