zation is simple.

Before prohibition became the law of the land foreigners came to these shores and they thought well of law and order. Where they came from the laws invariably were strictly en- forced.
 Only a small percentage Of for eigners were inherently disinclined to look for an easy living. Most Of them, fully 95 per cent, were ready and willing to work hard at what ever labor they could perform. The insignificant percentage say five per cent-who were card sharps and who followed other lines that preyed upon their fellow coun- trymen were looked down upon with disdain; the rank and file of for eign-b born would not associate with them. They were regarded as mo good" in their native lands and there was no reason to look upon them differently in the United States.
 But prohibition gave to this small percentage an opportunity to prove 10 their abiding fellow country men that aw-breaking pays. It has been this negligible small minority of foreignborn who have become bootleggers. rum runners, and rac1eteers in the liquor industry,
 They opened speakeasies; and at first their fellow countrymen re- garded them as taking tremendous chance with the law. They surely could not prosper in this land Of law and order.
 But what did the fellow-country men see? Merely that the liquor i traffickers actually prospered, were left alone more or less, and often be- came persons of influence with the politicians, and in many cities with the police.
 The eyes of their fellow country, men naturally opened wide at this manifestation of racketeering power. i Usually, when one of these racke- teers was slain in his calling. the l flowers were many, the casket cost a lot of money, and the effect upon others was prodigious. There is nothing like a great and expensive | funeral" to impress the foreign born with the might and power Of the slain gangster. It usually was made known that even politicians contributed to these garish funerals,
 The inqvitable result has been to prove to the foreign-born that money counts for much in the |. S. A.. and never mind how it is ob- tained.
 This is a kind Of Americaniaa ton that the N. '. C. of C. can tackle if it has the inclination.
 If success is really achieved in dcporting alien gangsters the effort will be very much worth while.
 But one species of "AmcricaniZa- ton has had start of ten years.

SUMMARY OF STATUS OF LAW
I.hIYa( ~ ftAfhFTINJrr

Each successive election Of states attor-
neys since the adoption CT the Eighteenth
Amendment and the state prohibition law
has resulted in an increase in the number
of aggressive prosecutors. While there are
a number Of counties where results have
been slow, on the whole, Improvement in
the enforcement Of the law has been Sub
Stantial and in many counties, quite
marked Federal enforcement, rather dis
couraging during the first several years
after the adoption Of the Eighteenth
Amendment because Of political influence,
and the many changes in personnel and
methods of administration, has been much
improved during the last ste7aral years.
The impact Of better Federal enforce
ment, augmented by the strong stand of
President Hoover is beginning TO be re-
fected in better state enforcement. The
victory in Cook County in the election Of
Judge Swanson states attorney, in the
general election November, 1928, besides
its direct result in putting nearly one-half
our population under a states attorney
favorable to enforcement, has also had
most whole me indirect influence
throughout the state. 1t has greatly en-
couraged citizens and states attorneys
alike
Prohibition enforcement is without ques-
ton on a stronger foundation today than
at any time since the adoption OF the
Eighteenth Amendment. In majority of
the counties the prohibition law is as well
enforced as the health laws, game laws,
motor vehicle laws, and similar statutes.
And outside the largest cities the senti-
ment Of the people is Enthusiastically in
creasing in strength for strict enforcement
Of the law.
LEGISLATIVE SESSION OF 1929
After the wet forces of the nation sue
ceeded in repeating the prohibition law in
Wisconsin, they turned their guns on the
Illinois Legislature, then in session, and
staged one of the most terrific fights that
Illinois has yet seen, seeking the repeal of
our state prohibition laws and the enact
ment of various measures to break down
prohibition enforcement. The bill to sub
NIT to a referendum vote repeal of the
Search and Seizure law and the Illinois
Prohibition act (Weher-O Grady bill, H. B.
