SAYSLSDRYLAW SOOOMED TOFAL Nicholas Murray Butler De- clares 18th Amendment Will Never Be Enforced. By the Associated Pross. COLUMBUS, Ohio, January There 1is no lkelihood that the eighteenth amendment ever can be enforced, “no matter at what ex- penditure of money or of effort,” Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia Unliversity, declared in an address at the annual midwinter meeting of the Ohio State Bar Asso- clation. He linked the prohlbition amend- ment with the fifteenth addition to the Constitution of the United Sates, which was proclaimed in 1570 and granted the negro suffrage, as “two Important and law-made influences which now are making, and seem likely long to make, for lawlessness in American life.” The subject of hig address was "Law and Lawlessness.” He asserted that ‘“methods of czarist Russia and of the Spanish inquisition” are being used to en- torce one provision of law and said there are a “dozen verboten signs in the United States to every one that Russia can show. Called “Force Bill “In form and in fact” he said, “and judged by all the usual tests and standards, these ments are part of the organic law and with all the rights and authority which attach thereto. Nevertheless, they are not obeyed by large num bers of highly intelligent and moral- iy sensitive people, and there is no likelthood that they ever can be en- forced, no matter at what expendi- ture of money or of effort After pointing out “the negro votes in those states where he voted when the fifteenth amendment was passed,” the speaker asserted every attempt to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments has been denounced as a force bill. “Oddly enough,” he con- tinued, “It has been denounced by those very Senators and representa- tives who will go to any lengths to enforce the provisions of the eight- eenth amendment. “The practical question is not whother the colored man should vote in the southern states, but whether the American people frankly will face the problem presented by the nullification throughout a large part of the land of a most important pro- vision of the Constitution of the United States. % Revolt Is Widespread. “The situation with regard to the eighteenth amendment is even worse, because the revolt agalnst it is not confined to men and women of in- telligence and moral sensitiveness in one section alone, but {8 natfonwide. It will not do to attempt to silence these persons by abuse or by cateh phrases and formulas. “These men and women dissent en- tirely from the grounds upon which the case for the cighteenth amend- ment is founded and they regard its provisions and those of the statutes based upon It as a forcible, immoral and tyrannical invasion of their pri- vate life and personal conduct “No one who is familiar with the practical working of our political system would expect either the fif- teenth or the elghteenth amendment to be repaaled within time. So far as one can See. there- fore, we are shut up to the alterna- tive of their attempted enforcement by soldiers and police and special agenta and detectives and spies, or to thelr abrogation over a great part of the land by local initiative and common consent. Either alternative is humiliating and degrading.” SCHOOL COMPROMISES. Montessori Institution Will Com- ply With D. C.
