"A large responsibility rests directly upon
our citizens. There would be little traffic
in Illegal liquor if only criminals patroniz-
ed it. We must awake TO the fact that this
patronage from large numbers Of law
abiding citizens is supplying the rewards
and stimulating crime.
I have been selected by you to execute
and enforce the laws of the country.
propose to do so to the extent Of my own
abilities, but the measure of success that
the government shall attain will depend
upon the moral support which you, as citi-
zens, extend.
A DANGEROUS DOCTRINE
The duty of citizens to support the laws
of the land is co-equal with the duty of
their government to enforce the laws
which exist. No greater national service
can be given by men and women of good
Will-Who, I know, are not unmindful of
the responsibilities of citizenship-than
that they should, by their example, assist
in stamping out crime and outlawry by re-
fuSing participation in and condemning all
transactions with Illegal liquor.
Our whole system of Self-government will
crumble either if officials elect what laws
they will enforce or citizens elect what
laws they will support The worst evil of
disregard for some law is that it destroys
respect for all law. For our citizens to pat
rOIllZe JTle VlOlaC1On OF particular law on
the ground that they are opposed to it, is
destructive Of the very basis Of all that
protection of life, homes and property
which they rightly claim under other laws
If citizens do not like a law, their duty
as honest men and women is to discourage
its violation; their right is openly to work
for its repeal.
HEALTH AND SOCIAL BENEFITS
Go be read By lDomGn)
Arthur Dean BeVans, MD, former pres
ident of the American Medical Association
says that drink did more injury to the
people of this country under the old order
of things than either of these plaques (tu-
berculosis or cancer). Prohibition has &C
complished an enormous amount of good,
and with better enforcement can accom-
plish much more for the health and well
fare of our people"
Sixteen thousand fewer people died from
alcoholism in the first seven years of pro-
hibition than would have died at the old
rate in the seven license years of 1912-1917
Deaths from cirrhosis of the liver, COM
monty regarded as traceable to the chronic
use of acohol, in the first seven prohibition
years fell $4,000 under the old pre-prohibi-
ton rate.
Irving Fisher in 1926 said, Prohibition
in the United States has probably reduced
the general death rate more than any 9TH
er one thing in our history"

crime, drunkenness and public morals The
