Illinois Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church has formally decided
to urge all prohibitionists to participate
in the Illinois referendum on prohibit

Vote, of counsel" was the heading.
1T Is an absurd referendum" the
editorial said. when the votes are In,
no one will know just exactly what they
mean.
1T Is an unfair referendum, as all
such refererduIns are, for 1t does not go
to the root of the matter, and many
drys Will pass II by in contempt.
1t gives an advantage to the cor

the beer-runner, because he will vote
more than once to legalize his trade.
Nevertheless, the wet and dry cues

terS of Illinois. The more drys who par
ticipate the better. We say this despite
the possible illegality of the referen-
dunn. 1t is OF an indefinite character.
It is certain that the votes will be
counted to the advantage of the men
whose activities have made Cicero IA

1T must not be forgotten that the
drys have a little advantage also. The

the building of st. Marks Church, one

The collie is now wandering about the
spacious grounds of the college, carrying
the shoe with him wherever he goes
Not even a bone can lure him from his

shoe from him a deep-throated snarl is
sufficient warning.

mission. here yesterday.
The statement of Mr.. Loesch,
the first member of the Hoover
commission so frankly to criticise
present enforcement. was made
in an address yesterday before the
Commonwealth Conference at the
University of Iowa.
Creates Sensation
Coming from so high and in
fluential a source, it created a
sensation. He said
Throughout the country we
have open or covert violations
of the Eighteenth Amendment,
promoting a general disregard
for law and sympathy for the
law-breakerS.
'If this situation continues,
some modification of the amend
ment may become necessary.
With the speakeaSieS, beer gar
dens and protected liquor joints
out of the way, the gangs would
soon dwindle.
Because they have accepted
money from the gangs for cam
paign or private purposes, pub
lie officials in Chicago are for.
ever afraid of arreSting the
wrong man and incurring the
anger of some combination.
Cites Gang Murders
For 10 years, including 1929,
the gang murders in Chicago
have averaged one a week. So
far in 1880, until the killing of
Alfred Lingle, they have aver
age two a week. There have
been no convictions and scarcely
any arrests even on suspicion
fc. these $50 murders, some
horribly atrOciOuS in their In
uldn-Akt, Cruelty.
$50 long as politicians con-
troll the police throughout the
country, no permanent relief
can be hoped for. The real
Americans are not the gang
SterS. Recent immigrants are
the chief offenders"
Loesch also had a quarrel with
that phase of law enforcement
which captures the small fry"
and lets the big violators go.
He said concerning this:
Il have no sympathy what
ever with SO-called enforcement
which involves the searching
Of homes FOR a few pints or
gallons of co ltraband liquor.
That kind of enforcement has
a negligible result on the total
production of merchaidised
Illicit liquor.
Makes Law-Breakers
''It makes more Iaw-defying
the victim because he knows
of dozens of others who IS
care. More often than not it
makes law-breakers of his
neighbors and friends, who
share with him his feelings
and Indignation over the bru-
tality often exercised by the
officers in their searches.
"The great defect of it, how
ever, is its useleSSness in dimin-
ishing the total sale of illicit
beverages. The searching Of
homes in that respect, in my
Judgment, has reached the limit,
II it has passed beyond the right
of a citizen to be secured against
unreasonable search and seizure.
Diversion of industrial alcO.
hOl into bootleg channels has
been a source of wholesale viola
tiOn of the VOlStead law, and
has been the pool for enormous
sums of money with which to
corrupt politicians and Iaw-en-
forcing officers"
