way. "A man should not be
appointed to enforce a law Iln-
less he obeys it. I'D 60 even
further and say he should
neither make 1t nor enforce it
unless he obeyS It,"
Norris took a slightly more
liberal view in indorSing the
proposal, saying: Every law
enforcement officer, like Caesars
wife, should be above suspicion
A man who thinks the law
shouldn't have been passed, or
is bad law, but who will en-
force it to the utmost Of his
ability, should not be barred
from office. I wouldn't vote
against him on that ground
alone.

that a man who takes q drink,

q man who doesn't believe in

Senator Halves CD Of Mis-
souri,, a wet, interposed only this
objection: "It all depends on
whether this bar would apply to
personal habits or to personal
convictions. # the line goes so
far as to bar a man intellectu-
ally opposed to prohibition, it
would be neither just nor fair"
He was joined by Senator

said: "There is nothing wrong

result said the chief.
"Scyera res have been started

Another manner in wt'rn spon-

try has refused to weaken by
Joining the League of Nations OF
Its World Court.
That was the assertion of Ruth
Hanna Mccormick in a talk as the
Inlrd Of a series of patriotic broad
casts sponsored by the Daughters
OF the American Revolution. Her
talk, America For Americans, y
was broadcast by the National
broadcasting Company on its
coast-to-coast network. Mrs. Nc.
Cormick said, in part:
Faithfully we have followed
the counsel of Washington that
the jealousy of free people
ought to be constantly awake
Advice Still Sound
washington said that for.
eign influence is one of the
most banefuI foes of repub-
hcan government Nobody
knew better than our first Pres
ldent how dearly our liberty
and independence had been
bought. Nobody had clearer
vision Of future perils to our
independence.
Ten years ago our respect
FOR WaShingtOn's advice was
put to crucial test. We were
asked to sign treaty of peace
with Germany which Washing
ton would have Spurned. We
were besOught to Join the League
OF Nations and enter upon a
dangerous participation in for
elgn affairs; to 'entangle our
peace and prosperity in the
tolls of European ambition.
r1valShip, interest. humOr or
caprice We repudiated both
the treaty and the covenant of
the League. Our foreign policy,
built upon the wisdom of Wash
ingtOn, was not thus to be mar
red by an act of emotional
folly.
I'm three national elections,
the American people have over
whelmingly shown their OppO.
Sition to joining the League of
Nations.
Court Effort Told
mot being able to induce
this country to join the League,
an effort was begun seven years
ago to get us to adhere to the
Permanent Court of Interna.
tiOnal Justice of the League. It
Is not a World Court to which
fwe are asked to adhere be-
cause its members are limited
to those nations which are men,
berS of the League. If we ad-
here to the court we shall be
the only country represented in
the court which is not n men,
ber of the League of Nations.
81 oppose the court now for
the same reason that was
against it seven years ago.
None of these objections have
beef removed by recent steps
taken by international juriSts.
Nothing has been done to
change the fact that the
League Court is a back door
entrance into the League itself.
"If we were to adhere to the
court we would have to sit
with the council and with the
assembly of the Leag.e of Ma
tiOns for the purpose of elect
ing judges of the court and we
would only have one vote,
whereas the British Empire
would have six votes"
