RESPECT FOR LAW
Judge Calls Upon Press to
Help End Era of Contempt
for Statutes.

CHICAGO, May 18.-Federal Judge
James H. Wilkerson today called upon
the press to help end an era of "disre-
spect for law" asserting the courts and
public officers were powerless without
the backing of a strong, awakened
public sentiment"
Judge Wilkerson, who sentenced
"Scarface Al" Capone and other gang
sters to prison and who has been NOM
mated for elevation to the Federal Cir
cult bench. spoke at a meeting of the
Inland Daily Press Association.
I'VE hear a great deal" he said.
"about the right of inSurrection against
unjust laws. about notification Of laws
which never should have been passed.
That doctrine has no right in this re-
public"
Sees Critical Period.
Judge Wilkerson said the country was
in one of its most critical periods with
the continuance of free government"
involved The present condition, he
added, was a product of number Of
forces, including long period of open
denance OF law by great industrial cor
porations, the Great War, with its dis
ruption of social and governmental re-
straints," the automobile which made
apprehension Of criminals more diff
cult.
THE laws against liquor and mar
cotics," he continued, have opened
great fields in which enormous profits
are to be reaped through violation Of
law"
Urges Public Action.
It was customary he said, to look to
the courts and public officers for en-
fcrcement of law but Judge Wilkerson
asserted "alone they are powerless."
This condition of disreSpect for law
will not disappear until back OF this
courts and the officers is strong,
awakened. public sentiment.
In this work, a heavy responsibility
falls upon the press By its daily word
it is a leader of public opinion. The
press should take an answering po-
sition for the enforcement of laws so
long as they remain on the statute
books
IF we have enacted unwise laws, let
us set about the work Of correction in
an orderly way But let us recognize
that obedience to law is the basic con-
dition without which popular govern
ment cannot endure"

presently
Prohibition, which promises to be one
of the major issues in the current
scramble for the Presidency, made its
first appearance In national campaign
Just go years ago.
James Black, dry lawyer OF Lancaster
Pa, was the first presidential nominee
of the Temperance or Prohibition party,
Prohibition, however, was not an
issue in that 1872 campaign. 1t was
hardly a topic of conversation, and 1t
was not recognized in the platform OF
either jor party.
The only real issue" in the To cam
paign and the one preceding 1t in 1868,
apparently was Gen. Ulysses S. Grant,
and the issue then apparently was how
large a majority he should be given.
Impeachment Proceedings.
1t was in 1868 that one of America S
greatest political sensations took place.
For the first and only time impeach-
ment proceedings were brought against
a President of the United States.
President Lincoln had been asSassl-
mated, and Andrew Johnson, Vice Presl-
dent, was in Office. The Republican
controlled house impeached Johnson, a
Union supporting Democrat, as the cli-
max of a bitter struggle between him
and Congress over reconstruction poll
cies But the Senate would not convict,
and Johnson finished office.
Grant Sweeps to Victory.
1t was hardly necessary to hold a
Republican convention that year. Grant,
'idolized captain of all the armies OF
the Union" swept the North. Grant
and victory" was the Republican slogan.
The Democrats met in the Tammany
Wigwam in New York. A bust OF
washington looked down upon a pic
turesque gathering of broad -brimmed
Kentuckians, gray-coated Alabamans,
long haired South Carolinians, hirsute
ArkanSanS and boisterous Oregonians.
The Democrats had considerable diff
ficulty deciding on candidate. The
party was virtually disrupted. They
designated the Republicans as radicals
and finally nominated Gov. Horatio Sey-
mour of New York as a compromise
candidate.
Grant defeated him by a majority
of 3O5, 900 votes, the electoral vote be-
ing 214 to 80.
Nomination Easy.
In 1872 Grants nomination at Phila-
delphia was as easy. Horace Greely
founder of the New York Tribune,
bolted the Republican Party, denounc-
ing carpet bag iniquities. administra-
ton corruption at home, and incompe-
tence in foreign affairs" He was NOM
mated at a convention of liberal Re-
publicans, and the Democrats meeting
in Baltimore adopted the liberal Re-
publican platform and candidate.
Grant sat on the porch of his cot
tage placidly putting cigar smoke
through his black beard. while Greeley
campaigned in costume of linen pants
black alpaca coat and linen duster
Grant received a plurality of 10000
votes.
Business Slump.
When Grants administration ended
the United States was in the midst of
one of it's longest business slumps.
Old-timers recall the election of 1876
as one of the most sensational of all
races for the presidency.

make the capital resulting from the

be released in loans to industry.

Putting workers back to work will
create new buying power, for six men
working 35 hours a week will buy more
than four men working 48 hours. New
buying power is the first essential for
business recovery. But much as the
five-day week would help as an emer-
gency measure, it is still more import
ant as a permanent longtime adjust

work needed. without such an adjust
