eral terms We stand by a definite pro-
gram-for the utter prohibition of the
beverage liquor traffic by the federal gov
eminent and for supporting legislation by
all our states. Our opponents are con-
stantly engaged in exaggerated criticism
of present conditions, with a propaganda
supported by immense funds, furthered
by great daily papers, and often presented
in the most fanatical terms but they pre-
sent no definite and constructive plans
whatsoever and are engaged in an at
tempt to rush our citizens into political
confusions and contradictions that are
certain to make havoc in our national life.
We warn our ellOW-citizens that the sue
cess Of the present agitation against pro-
hibition means the return Of the saloon
in some form and would reinstate in their
old-time power those dealers in intoXi-
cauts who were such baneful and corrupt
ing forces in the former regime.
We have rejoiced in our partnership
with men and women in all religious de-
nominations, and with many who were
not formally related to any of our
churches, in the movement that banished
the legalized saloon from cur republic
That movement was by no means the
glory of one church or group, and its sue
cess was due to o wide cooperation which
must still be maintained We emphasize
the fact that our opponents, many Of
whom never lifted a voice against the
saloon in the days of its fearful power,
are now vigorous in their demand that the
saloon must not be restored, but more
vigorous still in their condemnation of
those whose influence alone removed the
iniquitous institution from our country.
We urge our young people, many Of

The bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
church, assembled in their semi annual
meeting, would again declare unequiVo-
cally that there is in the ranks OF our
ministry no weakening of conviction with
reference to respect for the constitution
and its supporting laws in general, or
with reference to the prohibition amend
ment and the Volstead law in particular.
AS those who have steadily resisted all
tendencies to laWleSSneSS in our republic
and who still believe, more ardently than
ever, that the observance of our laws
should not be made subordinate to mere
personal preferences Or to the fashions CT
social groups. we make this appeal to our
people and to the public.
We assure President Herbert Hoover Of
our. prayers and support in the stand that
he has maintained in favor Of respect and
observance Of law, as we'll as Of our sym
pathy with his efforts for the peace of
the world; and we eXhort cur people to
pray daily for our chief executive and for
all our public servants, Of whatever polit-
ica1 faith, who in these difficult and ner-
vous days are standing faithfully for our
American ideaLsrns.
We likewise assure all our representa-
tiVes in congress, who without regard to
political afIlliation have urged the MAIN
tenance Of our constitution and have
stoutly insisted that our laws were not to
be made and unmade by the laWbreakers,
that they have our full and unstinted sup

laWlessness.

has come when those who are fighting the

ORGANIZATION NEEDED
Individual Citizens Can Work Best
for Civic Improvements Through
Organizations, says Dean Leon
Green, of Northwestern Uni
versity Law School

In recent article on the significance
Of private participation in law enforce
ment, Dean Leon Green, of the Law
School Of Northwestern university pre-
sonts some interesting and up-to- date
ideas. He points cut that citizens cannot
refuse TO perform their duties under DEM
ocratie government and still enjoy its
privileges and imnunities. ANY lOng-con-
tinued turning away from the affairs of
democratic government by the private cit
izen Will soon work a change in the tex
ture Of government itself. That is exactly
what has been going on in this country.
He further points out that if citizen
participation is removed, there is no
longer democratic government It's great
est reliance is lost.
Dean Green stresses the value, if not
necessity, Of organized activity on the
part of citizens, declaring that such or
CARNATIONS ARE pointing the way that
must be followed in meeting the difficult
ties found in a complex society such as
we have developed" He continues:
IF the individual can only register his
interest in government through some or
ganization, then it seems to follow that
the organizations themselves must take
up the duties of citizenship. They
must more and more take the load off Of
fetal government. They must more and
more assume the duties which under a
simpler society rested upon the individual.
They represent in the aggregate the in
terests which must be protected. The pri-
vate citizen must more and more make
his voice articulate through these organ
izations In this way can local govern
ment be preserved in its democratic form.
In this way can citizens still carry and
claim dominant part in government
business. In this way the officials can be
made an effective agent of government.
In this way can the blight of political
parties be removed from the everyday af-
fairs of government"

allow them to compare the present situ-

of the history of our reform, and not be
