1t takes backbone to stand up
against the corrosive influence of
politics. Plenty of men can be found.
however, who will do it. The men
put in as United States attorneys
and as prohibition administrators
can stand firm, do clean job on
law enforcement, and still be fair
to the politicians, if they themselves
are not possessed by an overweening
political ambition.
Stung by Political Bee
am thinking of one United
States attorney, particularly, who is
serving in one of the most difficult
districts in the country. He is a
man Of good personal character and
an able lawyer; but the political bee
has stung him.
He long has looked generously at
nomination for the governorship
Of his state. He sees the mirage of
political advancement on every
horizon. AS a consequence, he is
timorous and yields to expediency
and an over-solicitous desire to con-
suit with political leaders when evil
dence is laid on his desk demanding
prosecution that may not prove to
be popular with the public.
He can't enforce the prohibition
law with one eye cut for popularity.
His ambition makes him unequal to
his task. If law is to be enforced in
his district. he will have to be re-
placed or learn to submerge his
political yearnings in an aggressive
pursuit OF the duties Of the job he
has.
I do not object to politics. I
always have been more or less active

forcement, but everybody would re-
spect it-even politicians.
Politics has said: Enforcement
can't be orderly, because it must be
periodically relaxed when We need
the underworld vote. 1t must not
even be as strong as the law Is IN a
place like New York, where people
are "touchy" on the subject. We
must appoint, not trained men, but
those who got the vote out and who
will be reasonable" with the boys.
Politics Always Enters
Some evasive politician from a
district where the dry sentiment Is
very strong, in order to capture the
dry vote at an approaching cleo
ton always is urging the head
quarters Office to issue "Pollyanna'
statements of how many agents
will be rushed into that quarter
and how effective prohibition IS
going to be-tomorrow-always to-
morrow.
Or when some agent or officer
does act with courage, Old "Politi-
cal Pull pussyfoots around the
Offices at Washington and gets
some puerile 'higher-up" to issue a
vacillating statement or apology.
No wonder at such times coura-
geous agents on the fighting line"
lose their morale.
But one battle after another to
try a case or remove an incompe-
tent attorney has made me know
that fine results can be obtained,
even in the constant warfare
against politics, by grit, persistence
and united front.

The Underworld Vote
Politics, from the county court
house and the city hall to the ma
tional capitol and the White House
in Washington, have been most re-
sponsible for the failures of prohi-
bition enforcement.
I'm not minimizing the effect of
the thirst of a large number of peo-
pie for alcoholic liquor. But that's
the other side Of the picture. If
they we're not thirsty, they would
obey the law and enforcement would
not be a problem. Obedience to law
is ideal-and far more to be de-
sired than enforcement.
But We must face facts. And the
fact is there's too large a number
Of people unfriendly to the eight
zenith amendment to expect at this
time enough voluntary obedience to
it to save our national honor.
You can neither coax, scold, nor
nag the people into law observance.
Consequently, enforcement is the
necessary approach at this time.
Enforcement in court, not prom

liquor cases there play big part in
city politics. A number of whisky
and alcohol distillers organized sew
eral companies with interlocking di-
rectorates. Well-knoWn state and
national politicians assisted these
five interlocking corporations to &C
quire permits.
One day two inspectors. Conner
and Quigley, watched a truck be-
ing unloaded with unmarked pure
grain alcohol Selling it, the driver,
Joseph Aiken, vas placed under ar
rest. There stepped forward a
young lawyer, Ben Colder. who OBJ
tanned prominence by Juggling those
cases. The evidence in one showed
violation of the law to the magni-
tude of 10000 gallons of bonded
whisky released on twenty-five
fraudulent counterfeit government
permits. Underlings. however, were
the only ones charged with an Of
Tense by United States Attorney
Coles.
Figureheads Take Rap
When one case came up for trial,
the driver offered a plea Of guilty.
Conner and Quigley, the agents,
ttepped forward and asked the
Judge for permission to state the
facts of the case. The judge listened
to their recital and ordered the
United States attorneys office to
make thorough investigation.
However the only result to the gov
eminent in enforcement of the law
was a. plea of guilty of two figure
heads and a 81 900 fine!
In the meantime Mr. Golder's
reputation was growing. He enjoyed
a. large alcoholic" practice and was
elected to congress. where he sits
today. When the new prohibition
administrator. Samuel o. Wynne,
recently was appointed in Philadel-
phia. the first political request that
reached him was from Congressman
Colder to the effect that he get rid
of Conner and Quigley. Colonel
Wynne looked up their records-and

Finds Powerful Tieup
Very early in my tenure Of Office
I ran into the powerfully in
trenched influence of anti-prohi-
bition sentiment and the tie-up be-
tween liquor and politics in New
York. A courageous agent who re-
ported evidence as he found il, ir-
respective of who the defendants
might be. turned in very plain proof
of a violation of law connected with
the Green River and Eninence dis
tilleries.
It involved the handling Of liquor
by the La Montague brothers. one
OF whom is a relative by marriage

versity. who is one of the most vio-
lent and vocal foes Of the eighteenth

pleaded guilty and served a term
in the local Jail. in addition to be-
ing fined $1,000 each; but every con-
ceivable political and personal ap-
peal was made to quash the case,
including an appeal BY a cabinet
official.
It was reported that $4,000 vol
unfairly was contributed" to the
deficit left in the Republican ma
tional campaign by politicians who
obtained permits for the distilleries
that released the liquor in question.
