this is new. One moving cause of great potency for the adoption of prohibition was the fact that all these things existed under the old system.

PROHIBITION AND THE 18TH. AMENDMENT, AS VIEWED BY
 NEW JERSEY CONGRESSMAN

tAnz outstanding speech, pertaining tps prohibition and the Eighteenth amendament, which has occasioned much comment, was that made in Congress several weeks ago by. Rep resentative Franklin W. Fort of New Jersey, as taken from tue Congres- sjonsl Record.
The Kusko times., 1930-05-03

Eleven years ago the-American na- ton, through the procedure pre- acribed for such action, adopted the Eighteenth Amendment 4to the Con- atitution of the. United States, thus enacting prohibition as a national policy. Oneeyear thereafter the Vol stead. Act was. passed to carry. out the pyuvisions. of the amendemtn. The further in retrospect the amend pent. and the law become, the more violently does controversy wage and the more futile and superficial the debate. Today doubt if one person in thousand in the nation-includ- ing many who speak or write most frequently on one side or the other have anything but a. very confused idea of the real. contents of the amendment or the law and even less as to the purposes wu,ch caused their enactment.
 To discover the purpose, of its en- actment, let us first delye somewhat into history. The use of some form of intoxiiant dates becak to the be- ginning of the recorded story of our race. 1t Is found in ,our. earliest and Ill intermediate literature-including our sacred books. Not only, the use but the abuse existed in all times and climes-and with, so far as lit- erature discloses, slight, if any pro- test.
 Some time in. the last century, hiwever, with the simultaneous spread of education and of m indus- txial. system that included large em- ployment, organized effort to produce temperance. in tte use of alcohol be- gn-- For many years the teachers of temperance were the butts of contin- ued and unpleasant ridicule. Finally, hpwaYer. the teachings took root in- creasingly and the churches-then tho chief if not only. centers both of social contact and ethical study-rap- dlys passed from a.. stage where drunken. preachers were quite com mon to, one, swhere. every preacher thundered condemnation of alcohol and every congregation had it's Woman's Temperance Union. or. its Father Matthew Total Abstinence Society.
 Major movements ilf human lives come in g.ea waves, and Kllen one is in theih midst he can see only. the whitecaps that aot the surface. To me it il entirely clear now that the agitation did not reach its powerful sweep through it sowns internal strength, did not lift itself bxits own hQotste1ps, but was created by two ground swells in ourans- tisnaA life. for which it was but the eaamlplt

wrong in thinking themselves crim- inaL. As have shown above, the Law permits such manufacture, per- mits such possession, and permits such use by themselves and guests.
 And right here may l say that in my Judgment sincere friends of tem- perance have done the eAnser of pro- hibition it's greatest injury hy insist ing that the use of alcohol since the
 Eighteenth Amendment has become immoral The confusion comes from the fact, on which l. have commented, that he organization of the temper ance movement centered in the churches, but this was in their capac- ity as ethical and social centers, not as religious and moral ones. And were it otherwise, morals are not coded by the passage of laws; they arc defined by the conscience of the individual We are here dealing with a social habit whose origin is buried in antiquity. To- say to- the man whose family for countless genera tIons has been accustomed to this habit that they and he, if. he follows their example, have violated a moral duty brings justified resentment.
 And noss. we come to personal lib- erty-and in my nqtes I spell those words with capitals. What is the Americans right of personal liberty?
 We'll, first, he may think. as he pleases-and when he has done that there IS not another hing he cans do as he p3e2seS. .. The law does not let us park o1r. car where we want toy we can not lawfully snug gle anything-not only liquors: we can not have our relatives and. friends join us if they happen to- be aliens; we can not leave our property away from our family, nor leave our family if we tire q them; we cannot own slaves; and now no one canllaw- fully sell uss hQuorI. Why.! Beeaass ours IS an. ordered freedom-whsre as- individual self -centefed wishes. Elass not be permitted o therefore with Ire interests of others. ndF those oi- others with ourx =.
 Then we are told our youth are feirg ruined by prohibition It is. an interesting thing that this, story. is always told about somebody else's children. | wonder how many fathers can honestly. look their. sons in. the. eye. and say. that there is more drink in gamong the hoys today than in our day. Moreover they also say there is more among the girls. That l. think, is trne. Rut 1 that the only liberty the modern girl claims? She smokes quite gener1lly-her mother did not before the war. She goes to dances at midnight with . boy-her mother went home then, and with .. chap erone at that-and now chaperones are as extinct as the dodo.
 Finally. a serious case is made of. tho noa.enforcement situation-and it does. look had with graft rampant, shootings frequent, police regnant, and the public apparently acquiesc- ant Well n H. have Shown unn, of

 our whole life and the systematizing of our Industry.
 Hut this was not the only major trend of our past fifty years as . na- ton. Side by side with education and industrislizatioa-reature and, perhaps, creator of our new civiliza- ti9n-nsrcEed g. new code of social ethics.
 The combined pressure of our eco homie needs and our. idealism-both famed to unusual power by the ex- eItement of war-was irresistible, and Congress submitted the Eight eenth Amendment to the. States while efficiency was the nations greatest need and chivalry its compass. l think all of us were surprised-and many deeply grieved-when foxty- five States ratified within. about. a year.
 So now we had prohibition, and a law must be passed to define and en- force it.. .. We'll, Congress tackled the job and produced the. Vol sthead Act. What does.. that. say? Most of its language relates to the method and means of. enforcement and L am not going to discuss those provisions. today. The real legisla- ton in thu. act is in four or five. sec hons. First, it. defines. the word liquor" and the phrase s.intoxicat- ing. hquor' as meaning. anything fit for use as a.beverage which contains one-haH per cent or more of alcohol. Then it prohibits anyone from" man. ufacturing, selling, bartering, trans porting. importing, exporting, deliv- ering, furnishing, or possessing" any Intoxicating liquor except as author ized in the law. When it comes to the matter of possessio no fiuor, 1t provides tha such possession is prima facie evidence that it is kept for. sale in violation of law but that 'it shall not be unlawful to possess. liquors in ones private dwelling-provided such liquors are for use only for the per- sonai consumption of the owner thereof and his family, and of his bona fde guests when entertained by him therein"
 But puts upon the p.ossessor the buEden of proving lawful acquisition of the liquor. Finally. there is no definition of what the. ward "mann- facture" means, but. the penalty sec ton says. "The penalties provided in this chapter against the.m2nufac- ure of liquor without a-permit shall not apply to person for manufac- turing nonintoxicating cider and. fruit juices exclusively for. use in4 his home."
 t do not pretend to be, much-of a lawyer these days. did think l was once, but 1 reformed and went into business, but it does seem to me, from my recdHections of the law, that this latter provision rather clear. iy lifts cider. and light wines, home made for. home use, eLt of the one half of oae per cent definition and. as to them, to apply the test of in- toxacation ins fact. And. of course, if they. can be lawfully made, they can. be lawfully possessed in the home of the maker and used by him, his family, and his guests Whether this language can be stretched to cover home brew, nonintoxicating. in fact is another question; but clearly the making, the possession, and the use of homemade, nonintoxicating light wines and. elders are not prohih- ited by the act.
 So that is the hisory and legal status of prohibition. What have been its effects! We'll let us look first at the bad sides and then at the

Although Alabama, with a perfect

band of Blue Devils from Duke as
the 1880 champions. With the ar

Alabama vanquished IL conference

once. However, the Blue Devils, who
went to the final last year, are re-
garded as great tournament players.
They went through a much harder

cagers.
North Carolina State, defending
champions, will enter the tourney
