the federal government and leave the
states without responsibility for enforce
ment On the contrary, the very pur-
pose of the amendment was to avoid the
overburdening of federal authorities and
the amendment, therefore, granted full
powers of concurrent enforcement to
and imposed upon the states the
duty to exercise them. In a state, there
fore, which has fulfilled its obligations the
entire police machinery is available to en-
force the amendment. All its executive
and judicial officers, its sherifs, deputy
sheriffs, constables, the police forces of
its cities and towns, its police courts,
its criminal courts, are available and ac-
tive in the work of carrying prohibition
into effect This is what the constitution
contemplated. These are the means up
on which it relied for the enforcement of
the Eighteenth Amendment. Deprived of
the police organization of the states en-
forcement of the amendment becomes a
nullity, a dead thing.
How New York Is Defeating Prohibition
1t was at this vital point that the tao
tics of the organized liquor interests, for
eign and domestic, chose to strike. They
perceived that while it was impossible to
kill the amendment by the lawful con-
sttutional method of a repeal or amend
ment, they could accomplish the same re-
suit by gaining control Of state govern
ments and withdrawing from the support
of the Eighteenth Amendment the en-
forcement agencies of these states. They
have been successful, as | have said, in
the states of New York and Maryland.
Let us examine the effect of this action
by the state of New York Shortly after
the adoption OF the Eighteenth Amend
ment the legislature of that state, in per-
Torrance of its constitutional duty, en-
acted the Mullan-Gage law for the en-
forcement of prohibition The entire po-
lice machinery Of the state was thus
brought into action as the Constitution
contemplated to carry out the provisions
of the Eighteenth Amendment. The state
agencies for police enforcement in New
York, including the judges OF the courts
Oi HlSHtI dlld 1OWCl Jul lSdlIllOllo, SlSi-
ifs, deputy sheriffs, and police officers of
the various towns and cities, comprise in
the aggregate more than thirty-two thou
sand officials, whose activities in prose-
cutting violators of the prohibition law al
lord ar adequate, and the only adequate
means, for the suppression of offenses
against such law. If prohibition is to be
enforced in New York it must be pri-
marily by means of this state police ma
chinery. If this is Withdrawn, nothing
is left but the enforcement agencies OF
the Federal government. What do these
amount to? A total personnel OF a little
more than five hundred. A comparison
OF the relative strength of the available
state and federal agencies is SO startling
and serves to illustrate so clearly the ut
ter inadequacy of an enforcement pro-
gram which does not rely primarily upon
the employment of the state police agen-
cies, that | wish to call attention to the
deadly parallel of the figures

interests foreign and domestic, TO destroy
the Eighteenth Amendment, state by
state, and to bring other states into the
same category into which they have sue
ceeded in bringing New York and Mary
land.
Presidential Election Affords Only Ma
tional Referendum
This, then, is the issue-shall disobe-
dlence to the supreme law OF the land
as practiccd by New York and Maryland,
be permitted to establish doctrine
which, carried to its logical conclusion
means the destruction of constitutional
government and the disappearance of
those guarantees OF lie, liberty and prop
erty which are essential to the security
and well-being of the people and to the
continuation of our form of government:
The issue cannot be evaded. It must be
fought to a conclusion in the Forthcoming
national campaign. The contest between
the two great political parties for the con-
troll of the presidency and the Congress-
of the United States affords the only ma
tional referendum for the decision of
great questions of this kind, and we must
have the courage and sincerity to present
this issue squarely to the people so that
their Judgment may be rendered in the
light of reason and with full knowledge
of the facts.
The lie of demo tracy is discussion,
thoughtful, honest fearless. Democracy
depends for existeAce upon the contin-
uous exercise of popular intelligence and
reason. The people cannot be habituated
to the exercise of reason where there is a
vacuum OF honest discussion. Much of
the growing cynicsm about the success
OF popular government is due to the fact
that political leaders are SO afraid of in
curing appropriately that they shrink
from issues which arouse controversy or
disagreement; and yet disagreement is
certain to arise about every question which
is important enough and vital enough
to incite political agitation or demand po-
Utical action.
Must Face The Issue
This is illustrated in Our own coun-
Try by this fundamental question of en-
forcing the constitution. Everybody is
interested in it; everybody is talking
about it. The best intelligence and the
most courageous leadership is needed to
extricate the country from the sorry and
serious predicament into which policy
OF DRIFT neglect and opportunsm has
brought it. If the Constitution is to be
upheld, if respect for law is to be pre-
served, il the tremendous social benefits
to be derived from the suppression of
the liquor traffic, arc to be realized, the
question of effective enforcement must
be faced and solved. recognize that pub
lie men, built on the safety-hrst plan,
shrink from taking definite stand on
this question. Too frequently they al
low their personal interests to obscure
the superior demands of the public well
fare. Yet the question is present insist
ent and imperative 1t must be solved il
law and government, and an expression
of the public will, registered in the most
solemn form, are not to be reduced to
the level OF a common farce The respon-
sibilities of patriotic citizenship, therefore,
demand that we should face it, not as
tmorous politicians or cowardly oppor-
tunists, but as brave men and women,
