NEW YORK, December 9.—The belief of Clarence Darrow that it is a civic duty to violate the prohibition law is~considered ‘“anarchistic” by S. Edgar Nicholson, assoclate super- intendent of the New York Anti- Saloon League. Mr. Darrow expressed his opinion at a debate in_which he appeared against Maj. Willlam B. Wright, Jjr., special counsel for Gov. Pigchot of Pennsylvania on law _enforcement. The question was “The Duty of Civil Disobedience.” Hold Law Was “Put Over.” “There have been some who had nerve enough to disobey the law, or we should probably still be living in caves,” said Mr. Darrow. “The way to get rid of a bad law is not to en- force it. That is how bad laws have been got rid of through the ages. | Christianity was bootlegged into the Roman_Empire.” The dry law, he asserted, was “put over” on the American people by a minority and never could be repealed, C For Christmas Snappy, up-to-date Cards at popular prices Hundreds at 5c, 10c ea.

The Department of Justice is in- vestigating the rumored merger of the Schulte and United Cigar Stores and "the consolidation of the mail order firms of Sears-Roebuck and Montgomery Ward. ‘While no announcement of the in- vestigations has been made at the department, it was expla}ned that it was the policy of William G. Dono- van, assistant to the Attorney Gen- eral, in charge of anti-trust proceed- ings, to investigate all large merger proposals. Donovan also is engaged in com- pleting an_investigation into the al- leged fertilizer trust. This inquiry has been underway since last Spring at Baltimore and is expected to result in action by the Government at an early date. as a few dry States, with a population of 10,000,000—less than the population of New York—could prevent it. Mr. Nicholson asserted that Presi- dent ‘Coolldge's message to Congress is a “complete_answer” to the sug- gestion_of Mr. Darrow. Mr. Nicholson declared the Presi- dent’s statement that “for any part of our inhabitants to observe such parts of the Constitution as they like, while disregarding others, is a doc- trine that would break down all pro-. tection of life and property and de- stroy the American system of ordered liberty” was a “distinct and restful contrast to the hysteria that has characterized the liquor press for the last year and which has produced a frenzy of merves on the part of the liguor politicians.” AT Y.M.C.A.
