LAW ENFORCEMENT 000 Women Cheered by Coolidge Greetings. Determined to refute arguments of the “wets,” who, in their view, are saining far too much publicity, rep- resentatfves of 12,000,000 women | making up the Woman's Natlonal | Committee for Law Enforcement this | afternoon, held their second public | session with an array of speakers | pledged to fight modification of the t “through the spreading Cheered by the declaration of President Coolidge, conveyed to them |in a letter to Mrs. Henry W. Pei- | body, chairman of the committee, | that “this earnest manifestation of interest in enforcement of law is gratifying, the women are looking forward to messages from Gen.

Such interest on the part of | those citizens not officially connected | with the execution of law is heart- ening to those charged with that vesponsibility. In this message I de- | sire to refterate the following state- ment which I made on the subject of your present deliberations: | _“The law_represents the voice of { the people. Beyond it, and supporting |it, is a divine sanction. Enforcement of law and obedience to law, by the very nature of our institutions, are not matters of choice in this republic, but the expression of a moral require- | ment of living in accordance with the | truth. They are clothed with a spirit- | ual significance, in which is revealed | the life or the death of the American ideal of self government.” At the outset of this afternoon’s ses- sion recommendation was made by the legal commission in a report to the enforcement committee that a delogation of five ppointed to ask Attorney General Sargent what wom- en can do “to effect the removal of United States district attorneys de- scribed by Mrs. Mabel Walker Wille- brandt as politically evasive or hostile to the prohibition law.” It was | further recommended that the dele- | zation ask the Attorney General how women can help “to secure the ap- pointment of Federal judges sympa- thetic with the enforcement of all laws" and “to bring to trial the 20,000- o0dd liquor cases now pending in the TUnited States courts designated by Gen. Andrews as “a jam" which con- stitutes an alarming hindrance to the orderly course or prohibition enforce- ment.” Support for Officials. The commission also recommended support from women for officials charged with law enforcement and a study of State systems of parole and probation to advance their usefulness and prevent their being abused. The report is signed by Mrs. Herbert J. Gurney of Massachusett airman, and a dozen prominent women, among whom is Mrs. Ellls Yost of this city. Further recommendation was made at this afternoon’s session in a report of the education cemmission of the enforcement committee that yearly character surveys be made of per- sonnel of the prohibition unit in ‘Washington. Coupled with the W ington survey the commission wants to have State surve; made of the character and accomplishments of the Federal prohibition administration within _those and of the conduct of the United States district courts with regard to prohibition. The commission advocated passage by Congress of the bill to place all prohibition activities in a separate bureau and appointment by the Presi- dent of a commissioner in charge of the bureau who shall be a friend of prohibition. N Kate Trenholm s is city is a signer of this Criticizes Quebec System. | Caustic criticism of the Quebec plan | ot government control of the liquor traffic was voiced in a speech this afternoon by Representative Hudson of Michigan. Mr. Hudson drew upon his recent experiences as chairman of the committee on alcoholic traffic of | the House which heard testimony con- | cerning the Quebec system. | “The mall order department of the liquor commission in Canada,” sald Mr. Hudson, “sells liquor by mail to one in the dry municipalities and ernment,_liquor shops are estab- in dry municipalities where ve not actually voted against e of liquor. he government is frankly in the liquor business and is pushing the | trade vigorously, although the whole system is supposed to promote tem { perance. The illustrated liquor-adver- | tising pamphlets are drawn in the imost enticing way. They make the mouth of an old alcoholic water and | tempt even the youth. | By sending liquor by mail into dry | municipalities they are undermining the dry territory and only about half of the province is now under local prohibition. One of the strange in- consistencies of the government con- trol system is the limits to which they £0 in pushing the sales of liquor while the Health Department advises in its bulletins that—T¢f you want to grow up healthy and strong and avold dis- ease, abstain from alcoholic Hquors” consistency is no part of the govern- ment-control plan.

They only ask for nullification of the eighteenth amendment and a modification of the Volstead act to allow the manufac- ture and trade in wine and beer. We are not told just what they would call the places where these liquors would be dispensed, nor how it would be possible to regulate such sales. On no account, they stated, would they be called saloons. Liquor must, how- ever, be sold under license or freely dispensed from any drug store, soda fountain or grocery store. “That there is a serious situation we do not deny, but we believe that the propaganda of politicians and liberalists in certain great city papers and magazines and the recent agita- tion in Congress are responsible for a letting down of authority in the Nation. We do not, however, find out great groups of good Christian church organizations, leagues and guilds car- rving hip flasks. That is confined to a comparatively small group, and we must remember that it takes a great saloon. “Attack on Constitution.” “The Constitution has met attack before, and will survive when the men who have made personal liberty rather than national loyalty their aim have passed into oblivion. As we have heard the clamor, the shout- ing and the tumult, the talk and the, filibustering of our statesmen, we keep in mind the gentle feminine pol- icy settled ages ago, to say the last word, which will, we believe, take form in the woman's vote on this and ell other issues which challenge women. If things are really as bad as they tell us and if only wine and beer will prevent the fall of the Nation and degeneracy of the people, then women are called immediately to their special task at this season of the year's housecleaning. There the eternal feminine is at an advan- tage. She will function in the gov- ernment, local, state and national, as she does in the home, using her broom and vacuum cleaner to sweep out _corruption. “If there are any outlaw States, | ‘those which have mot provided laws | for the protection of their people,’ let us see that they fall in line with the Constitution and the Federal Govern- ment, enact State enforcement laws and cease to make impossible condi- tions, only to argue spaciously from these conditions that our laws connot be enforced, therefore cancel the laws. very mother and teacher knows the peril of such a policy. The task today, yours and mine, is not to destroy the i Constitution, but to make our democ- racy safe for the Constitution and all its laws.” i Indifferent citizens, pictured as “too unintelligent or indolent to understand or make an effort to make clean poli- tics,” were flayed in a report of the political assets and llabilities commis- sion made at today's session.

CHICAGO, April 12.—Petitions ask- ing the retentfon of the Volstead act nnmodified have been mailed to the Senate subcommittee conducting the prohibition inquiry at Washington by | members of the Chicago Church Fed- eration. Seven hundred pastors, rep- resenting churches allied with the fed, eration, yesterday circulated petitions among thelr congregations. The petitions urged more drastic en- forcement of the prohibition law. “‘Half-hearted attempts at enforce- ment,” it said, “bring all law into contempt,” and a stand for modifica- tion would render the Government “impotent and ridiculous.” The Presi- dent and Congress were called upon to uphold the law, secure riore en- forcement officials, who are ‘“honest and earnest,” and to “punish local who violate their oaths of r falling to support the Con- NEW HOME W.R.SPFARE Co, UNDERTAKERS Founded 1872 1623 Conn.
