BYRD CREW YEARNS
FOR TASTE OF STEAK
Vanguard of Antarctic Expedition
Arrives in New York.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, April 9.-The van
guard of the returning Byrd Ant
arctic expedition arrived Tuesday
night with twenty miles of motion
picture film and an untitled longing.
The sight of trees and some big,
juicy steaks were the chief yearn-
ings of Joseph Rucker and Willard
Van Der Veer, cameramen, after
spending two years on desert of
ice. Trees they saw in New zea-
land. But apparently the antipodes
can not produce the equal of an
American steer.
We're still waiting for that
steak. Van Der Veer said.

Mr.. Joy and Prohibition

Our attention has been called to the report ap-
pearing in the press of the address by Mr.. Henry B.
Joy, former president of the Packard Motor Car
Company.
The most striking thing about the statement at
tributed to Mr.. Joy who, in resgning from the Re
publican Club in Detroit made the front page of
morning paper, is the thoroughneSs with which he
covered every principal current argument of the wet
advocates without any facts to back up his sweep

We want to answer Mr.. joys statements by a
sweeping denial on the basis of fact which cannot
be controVerted.
Since January 16, 1920, no one can cite single

Obedience to Law

Here is another authority to voice on this great
subject President Benjamin Harrison in his book
entitled "This Country of Ours" writes:
"If all laws great and SMALL are not to be OBJ
served by every citizen but each is to make cleo
tive code for himself it is the end of civil order If
you may choose, may, and each Of us has disabled
himself as a citizen. We need a renaissance of
conscience towards the law. The legislators,
under our system make the laws. and if they are
unwse in the opinion of a majority of the people,
they can be changed But till then obey them. as
you love your country and her peace.
"Au this has been said to impress upon my
readers the fact that live under a government
Of law and that ash Of fealty includes all the
lawS-the small we'll the great-the incon-
venent as we'll as the convenient We should re-
gard the law with more of the awe and reverence
given in old times to the king. If we have not con-
sented unto each particular law that it is good we
have given to legislators chosen by power, within
certain limitations, to make laws, and have solemnly
obligated ourselves to obey such laws for the time
being, until other legislators better informed as
to public sentiment, responsive to it, shall
repeal or modify them.
This compact is the basis of civil system, and
the only guaranty of social order and it follows that
the Scrupulous observance of it is the test of good
citizenship. He who breaks one law is guilty of all,
for the covenant is not divSible It is false and
mischevous opinion that any law can be voluntarily
broken without guilt"
