HARDNG ASSRES | Hardiing: Sees VETERANS OF AID Visits Army General -Hos- pital and Promises Disabled Justice Will Be Done Them. By the Assoclated Press. : DENVER, Col., June 25.—President Harding's first official act after his| arrival here yesterday for a visit of more than twenty-four hours w; assure the soldier-sick at the Army's general hospital that he would keep “everlastingly at it” to see that full Justice was meted out by the govern- ment to its wounded and needy veterans of the world war and would “conse- crate” himself, his every influence and endcavor, to prevent another war on the part of the United States. “But,” Mr. Harding said, addressing e group who assembled to welcome him and Mrs. Harding to the hospital, “I want to tell you if ever there is an- other war we will do more than draft the boys. If 1 have anything to do with it, we will draft every dollar and every other esstential { To the sick in the wards, the Presi- dent also gave a word of cheer, while Mrs. Harding 'went from cot to cot, handing ¢ rtient a flower and | leaving a messave of love and good wishes as she passed on. One pale- faced soldicr who had lost both limbs told her in answer to her solicitations that he “was all right and feeli fine.” His wife, who sat beside the cog, said, “Jack tells all the visitors that, but then he was always a g00d sport.” Earlier in the day, soon after their arrival in Denver the President and Mrs. Harding, accompanied by ator and Mrs. Lawrenee L. attended church services, took a s ride: through the city's parks, then rested at the resldence of the Colorado senator until the visit to} the hospit. The FPresident and Mrs. were up early to enjoy the sce their train traveled up throu rado to Denver. Several hundred persons were gathered about the station at Colo- rado Springs, when the train arrtved, and the President with a niention of it being Sunday morning said h wished he could preach a sermon, | adding that it was in his heart to do it. Need Christ's Spirit. “I tell you, my countrymen, the world needs more of the Christ; the world needs the spirit of the man of Nazareth.” The President- said, “1f We could bring into the-relationships of human among ourselves und among the nations of Uje earth, the brotherhood that was taught by the Christ, we would have a restored world; we would have little or none of war, and we wéuld have a new hope for humanity throughout the globe. There® never was a greater lesson taught than that of the golden rule. If we could have that one faithfully observed, I would be will- ing to wipe out the remainder of the eommandments. “I should like to say further that if we are going to make of this America of ours all that the fathers sought, it we are going to maké it true to the ! institutions for which they bullded, | Wwe must continue to maintain re- ligious liberty quite as well as clvil and human liberty. “One more thought: I should like to have America a little more earnest and thoroughly committed in its re- ligious devotion. We were more re- ligious a hundred years ago,. or even fifty years ago, than we are today. We have been getting too far away from the spiritual’and too much ab- sorbed in our material existence.” “That is one of the reasons I have been so zealous in the last few week in trying to have our country com- mitted to something more of interna- tional helpfulness, so that it may be ready to play its part in the uplift of the world and in the movement to prevent in the future conflicts among the nations.

The text of President Harding's address at Denver today on law enforcement follow My Countrymen: It has been said that “Of the making of books there is no end.” Quite as truth- fully it might be” paraphrased, “Of the making of laws there 13 no end.” We Americans undoubt- edly hold all records for the making of a multiplicity of‘laws, State and natlonal. \If we were as assiduous about obeying and enforcing obedience to them as we are in demanding and enacting them, there would be no par- ticular occasion for me to address vou today on the general subject of law enforcement. We all recognize that to secure effcctiv administration of the laws establish in the public mind an attitude of willing acceptance and obedience to law, is the most impressive mark of a civilized ty. Laws, of course, represent re atrictions upon individual liberty, and in these very restrictions make liberty more secure. The individual of his privilege to do as he pledses for the common good, and so or- ganized society is possible. It is successful just about in pro- portion as laws are wise, as they represent deliberate and intelli- gent public opinion, and as they are obeved. Civilization had to travel a long way before it came to be commonly accepted that even an unwise law ought to be enforced in orderly fashion. be- cause such enforcement would insure its repeal or modification, also In orderly fashion, if that were found desirable. Answers Criticlsm. At this point it is worth while to raise a voice in protest against the t volume of half-baked criticism that is constantly aimed against Americans, on_the ground that they are alleged to be an undisciplined and rather lawless community. _The eriticism, of course, arises out of the fact that during the period of a very short national life, during which the currents of human affairs and in- tqrests have moved more rapidly than in any other period of h fory. we have been under the necessity to establish institutions, laws. modes of administration, which would meet not only the requirements of a new community established in a new world, but would permit adaptation to'rap- idly changing conditions. It comes also of the very er- roncous’ impression of many nationals that our liberty is a li- cense, instead of guaranteed free- dom under the law. Older countries have had the privilegs of developing laws and institutions slowly. — gradually, painstakingly, through multiplied centuries in which change was commonly extremely slow. Amer- ica had to build on the founda- tion of long-established European models not always adaptable to our requirements, and therefore necessitating _many _experiments in modification and"readaptation. Moreover, we started our experi- ment just at the time when the old -medieval order was being changed at high speed by the pro- <es of the industrial and so- al revolution which marked mergence from the later middle ages into the onrushing era of modern industrialism, = modern science. and modern democratic procedures in government. Sees Justification. The founders of our country were compelled to establish in- atitutions here. in a time when thefr whole inheritance of intel- lectual. moral. political. and in- dustrial _traditions was being wrenched Dy the most amazing revolution that human society has known. In the circumstances, their achievement in laving the founda- tion, and our later one in build- ing our present superstructure upon it. represents an accomplish- ment T believe without parallel. Thus viewed. I think we will find all justification for satisfaction in our progress thus far. and confidence in an assured future. Our problems are the problems of a relatively new country. and of a nmew form of political or- ganizatfon, in a time of soelal flux. Wa shall not succeed if we attempt to solve them all at once: but no more shall we succeed if we assume to ignore thelr exist- ence, to shut our eves to the faet --that they are before us. The very basis of our political establish- ment is the idea of a dual sov- erefgnty, of the states and the nation: ‘the idea of concurrent authority and concurrent respon- sibility. That Is so_elemental in our system that to do away with it would amount to demolishing our whole scheme of government. Must Have Co-operation. Certain_functions and respon- sibilitiea have been imposed upon the national government, while others have been reserved to the states. -Between these -two Aau- thorities there will always be unavoidably something like a twi- Jight zone. Personally, I have never liked that phrase. T have regarded it as a pecullarly un- fortunate and misleadiag descrip- tion. ‘The intermediate zone which receives light from two sovereign luminaries ought to be tho best, not the worst, illumined region. I believe it can be made exactly that-it-we will but-realize the necessity for real co-operation thority, if we will_only develop effective means for the exercise therein of concurrent jurisdietion. The problem of concurrent jur- isdiction s not a new one brought to us with the eighteenth amend- ment. It is as old as the federal government. It has required to be dealt with by Congress and surrenders something . between national and state auc . plishment toward uniformity and clarification of state and national laws has been effected through the efforts of the American Bar Association. This, of course. has been an unofficial effort—a labor of love and patriotism, conducted by men especially qualified for its direction. It has seemed possible that something rather more for- mal and official might be evolved from these beginnings, which should help In perfecting the co- ordination. President Roosevelt recognized this possibility when he called a council of governors to consider problems them de- manding harmonious and uniform treatment. Under the present ad- ministration a similar course has been adopted in bringing together the state executives for considera- tion of methods to give full force and effect to the concurrent au- thority of states and nation under the eighteenth amendment. We have dealt upon the same general principle in fixing a pro- gram for the utilization of the waters of the Colorado river. In- deed. I have thought these confer- énces contained the germ of an fdea which may some day grow inta a useful auxiliary to our con- stitutlonal system: a formal coun- cil of co-ordination, representing state and national governments; authorized to examine into par- ticular needs in this area, to devise projects in co-ordinated actlon and to propose them formally to the Congress and the legslatures. Without possessing any powers of legislation or of mandatory Initia- ton. such a body might render an advisory service which, if made permanent and continuing, would conceivably be of great advantage. Discusses Dry Law. But for the present there are immediate problems before us which cannot awalt the possible creation of any such slow moving mechanism of philosophic consid- eration. The prohibition amend- ment to the Constitution is the basic law of the land. The Vol- stead act has beon passed, provid- ing a code of enforcement. I am convinced that they are a small, and a greatly mistaken, minority who believe the eighteenth amend- ment will ever be repealed. De- tails of enforcement policy doubt- less will be changed as experience dictates. Further, T am convinced that whatever changes may be made will represent the sincere purpose of effective enforcement, rather than moderation of the gen- eral policy. It will be the part of wisdom to recognize the facts as they stand. The general policy of the states to support the prohibition pro- gram, and to co-operate with the federal government regarding it, is attested by the faot that al- most unanimously the States have passed enforcement laws of their own. A difficulty, however, arises at this point. A good deal of te timony comes to Washington that soma states are disposed to ab- dicate their own police authority in this matter. and to turn over the burden of prohibition enforce- ment to the federal authorities. It is a singular fact that some states which successfully enforced their own prohibition statutes before the eighteenth amendment was adopted have latterly gone back- wards in this regard. United States Policy Blamed. Communities in which the policy was frankly accepted as produ tive of highly beneficial results, and in which there was no wide- spread protest so long as it was merely a state concern, report that since the federal government be- came in part responsible there has been a growing laxity on the part of state authorities about enforc- ing the law. Doubtless this is largelv due to a misconcelved no-" tion, too widely entertained, that the ‘federal government has actu- ally taken over the real responsi- bility. The fact is quite the con- trary. The federal government Is not equipped with the instrumen- talities to make enforcement local- 1y effective. It does not maintain either a police or a judicial estab- lishment adequate to or designed for such a task. 1f the burden of enforcement shall continue to be increasingly thrown upon the fed- eral government, it will be neces- sary, at large expense, to create a federal police authority which in time “will inevitably ‘come to be regarded as an intruslen upon and interference with the.right of local authority to manage local con- cerns. The possibilities of disaster in such a situation hardly need to be suggested. Yet is is something that we must recognize as among the menaces in this situation. State Enforcement Vital. The federal government ought to perform, In connection with the enforcement of this pollcy. those functions which are obviously within its proper province. These are compliance in all its aspects as It relates to international com- merce, the importation and ex- portation of liquors, the collection of federal revenue, the prevention of smuggling, and in general the enforcement of the law. within the proper realm of federal authority. But the business of local enforce- ment, by states and .citles, ought to be in the hands of the state and local authorities, and it should be executed in all sincerity and good faith, as other laws are presumed to be executed. What I am saying must not be construed as indicating any re- laxation of the national govern- ment's purpose to do its full duty in this matter. I have no doubt that if the burden is cast, in undue proportion. upon the national au- thority the federal government will, not only under this adminis- tration but under whatever others may come in the future, assume and discharge the full obligation. But I am pointing out that this ought not to be made necessary. The national policy ought to be supported by the public opinion and the administrative machinery of the whole country. For myself, Iam confident that we are passing now through the most difficult stage of this matter, and that as time passes there will be a mor and more willlng acceptance by authorities everywhere of the un- alterable oblication of law en- forcement. The country and the nation will not permit the law of the land to be made a byword. Question Larger. The issue is fast coming to_be recognized. not as an issue be- tween wets and drys, not a ques- tion between those who believe in prohibition and those who do not. not a contention between those who want to drink and those who do not; it is fast being raised above all that, to recognition as an issue of whether the laws of this country can be and will be enforced. So far as the federal government is concerned. and 1 am very sure also, so far as concerns the' very great majority of the state governments and the local governments, it will be enforced A gratifying. indeed it may fairly be said an aniazing, progress has been made in the last few years toward better enforcement. It is a curious MHlustration of loose thinking,sthat some people have proposed, as a means to pro- tecting the fullest rights of the states. that the abandon their part enforcing the prohibitory policy. That means simply an invitation to the federal government to exercise powers which should be exercised by the states. Instead of being an asser- tion of atate rights, it is-an ab; donment of them; it is an abdica- tion: it amounts’ to a confession by the state that it doesn't choose to govern itself but prefers to turn’ the task, or a considerable part of it over to the federal au- thority. There could be no more complete negation of state rights. Policy Dangerous. The national government has been uniformly considerate of the sensibilities of the states about their rights and authorities, when a state deliberately refuses to exercise the powers which the Constitution expressly confers on it. it obviously commits itself to a policy of nullifying state author- ity, the end of which we are reluc- tant to conjecture. The policy of nullification has never appealed strongly to the American people. There are some states in should C, MONDAY, JUNE Volstead Act Tightened to End Lawlessness historical records regarding efforts of States to nullify natlonal poli- cles; but the spectacle of a State nullifying its own authority, and asking the natlonal sovereignty to take over an important part o its powers, is new. When the impli- cations of this strange proposal are fully understood by people and parties devoted to preserving :ne rights of the States, the new nu 1 ficationists, 1 venture to Say. will discover that they have perpe- trated what is likely to prove one of the historic blunders in political management. Factors Demoralising. 1 am making my appeal in this matter to the broadest and best sentiments of law-abiding Amer- icans everywhere. We must rec- ognize that there are some people on both sides of this question in whose minds it is absolutely paramount. Séme would be will- ing to sacrifice every other con- sideration of policy in order to have ' their own way as to this one. This constitutes one of the most demoralizing factors in’ the situation. It was very generally believed that the adoption of the Con- stitutional amendment would take the question out of our politics. Thus far it has not done so, though I venture to predict that neither of the great parties will see the time, within the lives of any who are now voting citi- , zens, when it will declare openly for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. But despite all that the question is kept in_politics because of the almost fanatical urgency of the minority of ex- tiemists on both sides.” Unless, through the recognition and ac ceptance of the situation in it true light, through the effective enforcement of the law by all the constituted authorities, and with the acquiescer of the clearly dominant public opinion of the country, the question is definitely removed from the domain of polit- ical action, it will continue a de- moralizing element in our whole public life. It will be a per- manent bar to the wise deter- mination of many issues utterly unrelated to the liquor question. It will be the means of encourag- ing disrespect for many-laws. It will bring disrepute upon our community, and be pointed to as justifying the charge that we are a nation of hypocrites. There can be no issue in this land para- mount to that of enforcement of the law. Warns of Peril. Tt is easy to understand the conditions out of whic much unrest has developed, but it is not easy to comprehend so much of complacency amid a develop- peril. I want to give warning against that peril. Many ci not teetotalers in their habits, acquired stores of private stocks in an- ticipation of prohibition, pending the ratification of the amendment and the enactment of the regu- latory law. Many others have had no scruple in secking supplies from those who vend in deflance of the law. The latter practice is rather too costly to be in- dulged by the masses, so there are literally American millions who resent the lawful posses- sions of the few, the lawless prac- tices of a few more, and rebel against the denial to the vast majority. Universal prohibition in the United States would ocea- sion far less discontent than partial prohibition and partial in- dulgence. It is the partial indulgence which challenges the majesty of law, but the greater crime is the impair- ment of the moral fiber of the republic. The resentful millions have the example of law defiance by those who can afford to buy, and are reckless enough to take the risk. and there is inculcated a contempt for law which may some day find expression in far more serlous form. Musxt Obey Laws. I do not see how any citizen who cherishes the protection of law in organized society may feel himself secure when he himself is the mple of contempt for law. Clearly there is call for awakened conscience and awak- ened realization of true self-in- terest on the part of the few who will themselves suffer most when reverence for law is forgotten and passion is expressed in de- structlve lawlessness. Ours must be a law-abiding republic, and reverence and obedience must spring from the influential and he leaders among men, as well 95, 1923. as obedience from the humbler citizen, else the temple will col- lapse. United States Masjority Dry. Whatever. satiafaction there may be in indulgence, whatever objec- tion there {s to the so-called invasion of, personal liberty, neither 'counts when the su- premacy of law and the stability of our institutions are menaced. With all good intention the m: jority sentiment of the United States has sought by law to re- move strong drink as a curse upon the American citizen, but ours is a larger problem now to remove lawless drinking as a menace to the republic itself. There is another phase of law- observance to which reference is impelling. I am thinking of the law of the golden rule, a statute from the Man of Nazareth, who brought new peace and new hope. to mankind, and proclaimed serv- ice to men the highest tribute to God. Service is both the inspiration and the accomplishment of quite evervthing worth while which impels us onward and upward. With service which the Nazarene would approve are associated all our ideals and our finer aspira- tions. ‘We accept the doctrine for ourselves, as we ought, be- cause we must be firmly estab- lished and healthfully and hope- fully strong ourselves before we can be effectively helpfdl to others.

The world war was a_fightful calamity, from which the earth will not have fully recovered in a century to come. Nearly Gve years have passed and peace is not yat secure. Our own cost was bevond an understandable ap- praisal, but T sometimes feel it was worth much of its cost, be- cause it brought an American awakening and revealed the soul of the republic.

It exalted us and made us a better, a more patriotically devoted people. T would like to go on, with soul aflame in eagerness to aid human- kind, while promoting security “for ourselves.

Mr. Harding appealed for “an awakened conscience.” His speech made a deep impression here, for this is dry territory and the people have had prohibition so long that they are convinced of its merit and the subject is Ffeally not an issue here politics of other states, where the prohibition amendment has come as a sudden shock to urban habits.

The republican hope is that since Gov. Smith {s a democrat, every at- tack at Smith will be regarded as a blow at democrats generally and that the republican party will correspond- ingly gain in favor with those who may not be enthusiastic about it over other issues, but who will be disposed to forget their grievances beside the great moral questions involved in in deflance of the|the republican national commi law.
