with each of them upon the assem-
bly, of the Congress.
It appears to me that the
more important further mandates
from the recent election were
the maintenance OF the integrity of
the Constitution: the vigorous en-
forcement of the laws; the con-
tinIIance of economy in public ex-
penditure; the continued regulation
of business to prevent domination
in the community; the denial OF
ownership or operation of business
by the Government in competition
with Its citizens; the avoidance of
policies which would involve us in
the controversies of foreign nations;
the more effective reorganization
OF the departments of the Federal
Government: the expansion OF pub
lie works; and the promotion OF well
fare activities affecting education
and the home.
True TOuch.StOBes
These were the more tangible de-
examinations OF the election, but
beyond them was the confidence
and belief Of the people that we
would not neglect the support Of
the embedded ideals and aspirations
Of America. These. ideals and as
pirations are the touch h-stones upon
which the day to day adninistra-
tion and legislative acts of govern
ment must be tested. More than
this, the government must, so far
as lies within it's proper powers,
give leadership to the realization of
these ideals and to the fruition of
these aspirations No one can ade-
quately reduce these things of
the spirit to phrases or to eata-
logue of definitions.
We do not know what the attain
ments of these ideals should be: The
preservation of self-government and
It's full foundations in local gov
ernment; the perfection of justice
whether in economic or in social
fields: the maintenance OF ordered
liberty; the denial OF domination by
any group or class; the building IN
and preservation Of equality of OPP
portunity; the stimulation OF initia-
tive and individuality: absolute in
tegrIty in public affairs; the choice
Of officials for fitness to office; the

Enforcement of Dry Amendment
Should Be Duty for AU States

OF the undoubted abuses which
have grown up under the Eight
eenth Amendment, part are due to
the causes l have just mentioned;
But part are due to the failure of
some States to accept. their share
Of responsibility for concurrent en-
forcement and to the failure of
many State and local officials to
accept the obligation under their
oath of office zealously to enforce
the laws. With the failures from
these many causes has come dan
&erous expansion in the criminal
elements who have found en-
larged opportunities in dealing in
Illegal liquor.
But a large responsibility rests
directly upon our citizens. There
would be little traffic in illegal
liquor if only criminals patronized
It. We must awake to the fact
that this patronage from large
numbers of law-abiding citizens Is
supplying the rewards and stimu-
lating crime.
/ have been selected by you to

but the measure of success that
the Government shall, attain will
depend upon the moral support
which you, as citizens extend. The
duty of citizens to support the laws
of the land is co.eQual with the
duty of their Government, to en-.

No greater national SprVicp can

Educational Leaders Needed for
Instructed Electorate


Although education is primarily
a responsibility OF the States and
local communities, and rightly so,
yet the nation as a whole is Vitally
concerned in its development every
where to the highest standards and
to complete universality. Self.gov-
ernment can succeed only through
an instructed electorate. Our OBJ
jective is not simply to overcome
iilliteracy. The nation has marched
far beyond that. The more COM
plex the problems of the nation
become, the greater is the need for
more and more advanced instTuc'
ton. Moreover, as our numbers
increase and as our life expands
with science and invention, we
must discover more and more
leaders for every walk of life.
Growing Complex
We cannot hope to succeed in
directing this increasingly complex
civilization unless we can draw all
the talent of leadership from the
whole people. One civilization after
another has been wrecked upon
the attempt to secure sufficient
leadership from a single group or
class. If we would prevent the
growth of class distinctions and
would constantly refresh our leader
ship with the ideals of our people,
we must draw constantly from the
general mass. The full opportunity
for every boy and girl to rise
through the selectiye processes of
education can alone secure to us
this leadership.
For Public Health
In public health the discoveries
of science have opened a new era.
Many sections of our country and
many groups of our citizens suffer
from diseases the eradication of
which are mere matters of admin
istration and moderate expenditure.

ment will cruInble either If officials
elect what laws they will enforce or
citizens elect what laws they will
support. The worst evil of disre.
gard for some law is that it de-
stroys respect for all law.
Repeats Better
For our citizens to patronize the
violation of particular law on the
ground that they are opposed to 4
is destructive of the very basis of
all that protection of life, of 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 dis
courage its violation their right ~
only to work for its repeal.
: To those of criminal mind there
can be no appeal but vigorous en-
forcement of the law. Fortunately
they are but small percentage of
our people. Their activities must
be stopped.

1T is only in part due to the addi-
tional burdens imposed upon our
judicial system by the Eighteenth

wider than that. Many influences
had increasingly complicated and
weakened our law enforcement or
ganization long before the adoption
of the Eighteenth Amendment,
To re-establish the vigor and effec-
tiveness of law enforcement we must
critically consider the entire federal
machinery of justice, the redistribu-
