of the Arroyo Colorado north n

the midst of the largest tract of Fine

type of soil along with the nat

Arroyo places the community

Citrus and Vegetable production are
concerned.
Rio Hondo is destined to be the
Port City Of the Rio Grande Valley.
It's location will make it the front
door of the Rio Grande Valley to the

Rio Hondo has thirty-five thous-

a remedy for this condition sis the most
sore necessity of our times
The people believe that President Hoo
yer will find that remedy. And already
he has held conferences with Attorney
General Mitchell and other trusted adj
visers to work out his plan for more Wig
orous and effective enforcement of law.
THE EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT AND
IT'S ENFORCEMENT
With startling directness the President
in his inaugural address went to the very
heart of the prohibition enforcement
problem. THE abuses which have grown
up around the enforcement of our ma
tional prohibition law are partly due to
the failure of some states to accept their
share of responsibility for concurrent en-
forcement," the resident said, and to the
failure of many state and local officials to
accept the obligation under their oath of
Office zealously to enforce the laws
What answer to the Chief Executive of
the United States can those states make
which have failed to meet the require
ments of concurrent enforcement-stateS
that have put the whole burden of en-
forcement upon the Federal Government?
Here is a rebuke from the President of
the United States that ought to shame
them. It is certain that some means will
be found to deal directly with the local
officials who SO lightly regard their oath
of Office as to consider themselves under
no obligation to enforce the prohibition
law.
RESPONSIBILITY UPON THE PEOPLE
But the strongest appeal of President
Hoovers message OH law enforcement and
law observance was the appeal made di-
rect to the citizens themselves. 1t was an
appeal that has been heard many times
but never before has it come from the
President of the United States:
But a large responsibility rests di-
rectly upon our citizens. There
1Could be little traffic in illegal liquor
if only criminals patronised it. We
must a1Uake to the fact that this
patronage from large numbers Of
law-abiding citizens is supplying the
reluardS ana stimulating crime.

MRS. WILLEBRANDT
RETAINED

A Washington Associated Press
dispatch of March says that it
was reported at the Department of
Justice that Mrs Mabel Walker
Willebrandt, Assis tant Attorney
General in charge of prohibition
prosecutions, will remain at the de
partment in the administrat ton of
President Hoover.
This will be gratifying news to
the drys of the nation. Mrs. Willie
brandt, who has been in charge of
liquor law violation cases coming
through the Department of Justice
during the Harding and Coolidge
administrations, has been a terror
to the violators of the dry laws.

A GOOD EXAMPLE

An Associated Press dispatch carrying
Washington date line of March 10 says
that report has come via grapevine COM
munication that one MEMBER of the diplo
matte corps in Washington has decided to
import no more liquor into the United
States.
Since the action, if true, will set prece-
dent in diplomatic life in Washington,
which has enjoyed complete immunity
from all legislation prohibiting alcoholic
liquors, the speculation is conferred on who
the members of the corps might be who
have thus voluntarily imposed prohibition
upon their embassy.

JUDICIAL SYSTEM ILL ADAPTED TO

II is most significant that his first con-
sideration of the problems confronting
him when he began his administration
was a consideration of law enforcement
and law observance, with special refer

END LAW VIOLATIONS! KEYNOTE OF
PRESIDENTS INAUGURAL ADDRESS

President Hoover at this point of his
address again pledged himself to the en-
foreement of the law to the best of his
own abilities and asks the cooperation OF
every citizen in fulfilling that purpose.
We are asking much of him. Is it fair
that we refuse what he asks of us? Here
is the unanswerable argument as stated
by our President. 1t is declaration that
ought to be kept constantly before the
youth of our schools and colleges. 1t
ought To be displayed in every Office and
factory and home. Here it is:
The duty OF citizens to support the
laauS OF the land is coeQual with the
duty of their government to enforce
the laaUS 1uhich eriSt. No greater ma
tional service can be giUen ba, men
and lUon1en OF good 1oilI-a0to knolO,
are not unn1indtuI OF the RESPONSE
bilitieS OF citisenShip-tllan that they
should, by their example, assist in
stamping out crime and outlal0ry by
refusing participation in and con-
demning all transactions 1Uith illegal
LIQUOR.
Our lUhole system OF SeltgoUern-
ment 1OiH crun,ble either il officials
elect 1Uhat ldiUS they iUiH enforce or
citizens elect auhat la1US they will sup
port The aUorSt eUiL OF disregard for
some ld1U is that it destroys respect
for all laW. For our citizens to
patronise the uiolation OF particular
la1o on the ground that they are OPP
posed to it is destructive OF the Uery
basis of all that protection OF life, OF
homes and property 1ohich they
rightly claim u1lder other lG10S.
WILL APPOINT COMMISSION
President Hoover announced his pur-
pose to appoint a national commission for
an investigation of the whole structure of
our Federal system of jurisprudence, to
include the method of enforcement Of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
Truly new day has dawned in prohi-
bition America. There is nothing but dis
aster ahead for the rum runner, bootleg
ger and hi-jacker. Scarcely forty-elght
hours before this remarkable pronounce
ment by the incoming President of the
United States, the outgoing President,
Calvin Coolidge signed bill passed
few hours previously by Congress, increas-
ing the maximum penalties for violation
of the prohibition law, and making it pos
sible to deport aliens whose violations of
the prohibition law make them subject to
these increased penalties.
The President on the third day of his
administration issued a call for special
session of the new Congress for April Is.
While he did not mention prohibition in
his proclamation calling for this special
session, yet it is a subject that can be
brought up if deemed necessary. 1t is
gratifying to know that this new Congress
is even dryer than its predecessor.
Prohibition will not fail through want
of effort by the President to make it sue
coed, through want of adequate legisla-

President Hoover had not covered more

with satisfaction the exalted position this
