to stress at this time and at all other times
in the discussion of this matter in which Z
shall take part is that SO long as it remains
q part of the constitution, SO long as it is
unchanged, it is the duty of every citizen
loyalty to support and maintain it, not on
ly in letter but in spirit.
MULTIPLYING THE CONSTITUTION
We are discussing, these days, the ques-
ton of what we shall do with reference to
amending the provision of the conStitu-
tion and about the first suggestion that
comes to me when suggest that the Situa-
ton can be met only by constitutional
amendment is that it takes too long, that
it will take an infinite amount of time to
change the constitution of the United
States, and that there must be some way
by which the law can be so modified that
we can get Intoxicating liquor without Of
Tending the constitution itself In other
words the clear implication is that by ig-
noring not only the spirit of the constitu-
ton but the letter of the constitution, we
can pass law which will give percentages
of alcohol sufficient to enable the people to
enjoy, as they claim, their right to the use
of intoxicating liquor. Impatience with the
law is mob rule. The man hunting his
neighbor with shotgun is simply impa-
tent with the law. And those who would
disregard the constitution because it takes
too long to amend it are appealing to the
spirit of the mob.
Mr.. President, it is no part of the duty of
citizen to ferret out means by which to
escape from the terms of the constitution
It is no part of good citizenship, in my
judgment, when citizens find in the con-
stitution provision which they do not
like, to see how far they can possibly go to-
ward evading or multiplying it without get
ting within the inhibition which the courts
may lay upon them. So long as the provi-
sion is there, instead of seeking means to
eVade it, it is the duty of the citizens of
the United States to find means to enforce
it. If the means do not exist at this time,
if the law is not sufficient and efficient,
and if the power behind the law is not suf-
ficient to enforce it, then, instead of find
ing means by which to evade it, it is our
duty, and the obligation rests upon us, to
find more effective means by which to
make the constitution effective. Change it
if you will; reWrite it again if you may;
but so long as it is there, it is the duty of
every loyal citizen to see to its enforce
ment.
Some of the propositions which have
been made seem to me most extraordinary.
If there rests upon the federal government
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1930-10-01

one peculiar exclusive and supreme duty 1t
is to see to the enforcement and the MAIN
tenance of the constitution of the United
States and not leave its enforcement to the
several states of the union. The respective
states of the union are not primarily the
custodians of the integrity Of the consti-
tuition. The custodian of that integrity is
the federal government itself To my mind
any scheme or any plan which would shift
to the states alone the obligation or the
burden of enforcing the constitution is
most pronounced evasion of the most SOL
emn obligation which rests upon the ma
tional government and that is to protect
its own charter, protect its own life, for the
constitution is its life.
The United States attorney for New
York few days ago in an interview said
Let Congress modify the Volstead
act so as to permit each state to define
Misunderstanding liquor, this definition
to bind both state and federal author
ity.
So modify the Volstead act as to permit
each state to be the Judge of how and to
what extent the constitution of the United
States applies in this respect and what is
an Interpretation and what is an enforce
ment of the constitution of the United
States. The proposal is not to amend the
COIiSOlbuOlOll VI bllc Ol1lJtQ OGdIGS. 11lc
provision which imposes upon the national
government the inhibition of the sale and
use of Intoxicating liquors remains; but
the proposal is to modify the statute which
was passed, leaving the enforcement of the
principle of the constitution and the pro-
lection of the integrity of the constitution
to the respective states, while the national
government itself entirely abandons that
obligation.
1t is seriously proposed that the federal
government shall abandon the interpreta-
ton and enforcement of its own great
charter and through sheer cowardly, con-
temptible eXpediency leave it to forty
eight states with forty-eight different rules
and standards to enforce and uphold it. To
such desperate and despicable expediency
do men resort when they have not the cam
dor to urge repeal or the courage to preach
open violation.
Mr.. President as a matter of fact, the
great Civil war was fought over that prin-
cipie. To my mind it is treason; it is de-
liberate evasion of the constitution, null
lifying and an annihilating of the charter
under which we live Tt is disloyalty to the
first principle of a federal union and vio-

Without reference to any question of
the legal and moral obligation resting
upon the state of Illinois to maintain laws
for the enforcement of the prohibitions
contained in the Eighteenth Amendment,
some of the practical reasons why repeal
must be defeated, are:
First It is absolutely futile to accom-
plish the wishes of its proponents BY re-
pealing the necessary enforcement laws
the state is not relieved from the prohibit
tons contained in the Eighteenth Amend
ment. If the prohibition enforcement laws
should be repealed citizen of Illinois
who manufactured, transported or sold
liquor for beverage purposes, would still
be amenable to prosecution in the fed
eral courts The repeal would result in
confusion. Many persons thinking they
were given the right to engage in the nq-

Sore Throats

Safe Prescription
Here's q doctors prescription call
ed Thoxine that Is really throat in
surance. It's success Is due to Its
quick double action. With the very
first swallow it soothes the sore
throat and stops the coughing. It
goes direct to the internal cause.
The remarkable thing about
Thoxine is that while it relieves
almost instantly 1t contains nothing
harmful, and is pleasant tasting and
safe for the whole family. Singers
and speakers find Thoxine very
valuable. Put up ready for use In
