I shall endeavor TO answer some
Of the questions in which the great
majority Of the people OF America
are interested vitality.
1 shall not discuss the wisdom Of
adopting prohibition as national
policy. Such argument is not timely.
! The essential fact is that imbedded
in the Constitution of the United
States is the eighteenth amendment.
Section l. After one year from
ratification of this article, the
manufacture, sale or transporta-
ton of intoxicating liquors within,
the importation thereof into, or
the exportation thereof from, the
United States and all territory
subject to the jurisdiction thereof
for beverage purposes is hereby
prohibited.
Sec. 2. The congress and the
several states shall have concur
rent power to enforce this article
by appropriate legislation.
Congress has enacted certain laws
to give effect to that part of the
Constitution. The arguments for
and against prohibition as a ma
tional policy can be found else
where.
Many Questions
I propose to leave those argu-
mentS to others and to devote my
self to answering such questions as
these:
Is the prohibition amendment or
law unenforceable?
Is there a legal substitute for pro-
hibition of all Intoxicating liquors?
Is prohibition enforcement effec-
tive, or is it losing in effectiveness?
Who is responsible for nonen-
forcement of the prohibition laws?
Are the best methods being en-
ployed in the enforcement of pro-
hibition? If not, why not?
Is it justifiable to take human life
to enforce prohibition?
Should there be more rigid" en-
forcement; additional thousands of
prohibition agents; more severe
penalties; enforcement of the law
against the man who buys a half
pint or quart of whisky for personal
consumption, as well as against the
man who sells it; searches of homes,
either with or without warrants;
the use of the army and navy to aid
in prohibition enforcement; denial
of the right of jury trial in minor
cases of infraction of the prohibi-
ton laws? What about the Jones
amendment? Are the enemies of
the eighteenth amendment and pro-
hibition enforcement winning their
battle?
What is the prospect for prohibi-
ton enforcement hereafter? Can
prohibition be made POPULAR" Is
the effort, rightly termed "noble
experiment" by President Hoover,
doomed to failure?
Where Are the Leaks?
What are the big 'leaks" under
prohibition enforcement, as we now
have it? Can our cities be "dried
up?"
Is there any cure for the defects
of prohibition enforcement?
On the answers of the great body
of American citizens to these ques-
tons within the next few years de-
ponds the ultimate fate of the
amendment. When the
people are sure whether we actually
can have prohibition enforcement,
then they will decide whether there
shall continue to be a prohibition
amendment and prohibition laws.
We have not yet had effective en-
forcement of prohibition.
In tie next installment Mrs.
WiIIebrandt will discuss the greatest
obstacle to enforcement: Politics.)

Millions Of good citizens are
Totally unaware of national immi-
grafton policies. But ninety-nine OF
one hundred people, whether chill
dren in high school or graded school,
or men and women in the vigorous
or declining years of life, have def
mite and aggressive views on the
wisdom or folly of prohibiting the
manufacture and, sale of intoxicat-
ing liquor. and the methods used to
bring about enforcement.
1t seems proper to me, therefore,
for one who has given eight of the
best" years of her life to an effort
to enforce prohibition, now to re-
veal the facts of the situation, and
give an opinion resulting from such
facts and experience. I hope they
may help to a clearer. less emo
tioisal, view Of the national problem.

Two ex-soldiers, seeking to escape

choose a settlement which ranch
ers have dubbed "Sin Town" be-
cause of the reckless, uncontrolled
gang of criminals who rule it. But

a rancher who is murdered by the
ang-chieftain, Pete Laguerre,
about the time the ''buddies" ar

avenge the murder and are jailed
and accused of the crime. Ranch
ers, desperate over the outrage, as
semble to raid the town and de-
mand the surrender of Laguerre,
who has been identified as the
slayer. A furious battle ensues
and the farmers set fire to the en-
tire village. The army pals have
escaped in the meantime and cap
tured the ring-leaders.
