Friends of Dr. Butler say he has taken a stand which is not very small. Dissimilar to that of President Coolidge who recently declared that what the country needs is law ob Servance rather than law enforce ment. Dr. Butler belie s that with out law observance there cannot be law enforcement. Therefore _ he argues, if a law has passed in such @ manner and in such shape that it does not command observanee, ef forts to enforce it are next to futile. The strength*of all law Mes in the will of the people to observe it. Fear of punishment does not maké the law against stealing effective. People do not steal because they, he- Neve it is morally wrang to steal They “observe” the Idw in the mass. Dr: Butler believes that until a pro. hibition or rather a temperance law is written in such language that virthally all of the people will agre of their own accord to abide by It, attempts to ‘ * the law upon them will be in vain Answering today attacks made upon him at the Methodist general conference in.

Dr. Butler has flatly declined to t any of the “drys” in joint de. bate. He says his position i clear, unequivocal and known to the people of the country.
