While the Jones law and a more effi- cient machinery for detecting crime is expected here to do a great deal to im- prove law enforcement, the situation is really one in which public sentiment counts for most.

A movement is now on foot to bring o the individual purchaser of uquor that he too plays a part in the cakdown of the law. Official Wash- ton itself has been slow to realize (s, but under the Hoover administra- tion there is a noticeable tendency to | 30 dry and avoid the bootleggers. Relics on Norris Case. The Department of Justice is relying on the Norris case to emphasize the danger to the individual in purchasing liquor from a bootlegger. In that in- tance the Governmenit prosecuted and ;ecured a conviction on the ground that the purchase of the liquor was in itselt a conspiracy to transport. The con- stant sending of the order to the boot- legger was proved. The Norrls case means & possible two-year jail sentence for the purchaser. The Government has never atfempted to prosecute on the ground of a conspiracy to possess liquor, but, inasmuch as the actual {ransportation of alcoholic beverages without & permit has now been made a felony, it is considered that a con- | spiracy to violate such a statute will be given increased weight in the courts. The Jones law makes it a felony to manufacture, sell, transport, import or export alcoholic beverages. These are the acts which are forbidden by the eighteenth amendment itself. The Vol- stead act enumerates other offenses, such as teaching or furnishing recipes for the violation of law, but the new Jones law enumerates merely the same things as are named in the eighteenth amendment. So, in a sense, whoever is convicted under the Jones law is a violator of the Constitution of the United States itself. That is why the Jones law, which makes such violations a felony with a jail sentence of five years, has stirred up so much discus- sion. Misunderstanding Arises. Many inquiries have come here as to whether the manufacture of liquor in one’s own home is still permissible. There is a general prohibition against all manufacture of liquor in the Vol- stead act, but later in the same law it is stipulated that search and seizure cannot be conducted in the home with- out evidence of a sale. There is no provision to secure evidence, so by im- plication the manufacture of liquor for personal use in the home has been con- sidered as permitted. Much misunder- standing has arisen because of various statements from the Treasury Depart- ment some time ago to the effect that 200 gallons of liquor could be manufac- tured in the home. This is a confusion with an old internal revenue law which stated that no tax would be collected unless more than 200 gallons were manufactured. Inasmuch as there is no effort to collect taxes today this pro- vision has no standing. 1t was President Harding who called on the American people in one of his last speeches to give up hwlull¥ ac- quired stocks. President Hoover referred in his inaugural address to the pat- ronage given the bootlegger by the pub- lic generally. He declared that while individuals had a right to encourage the agitation for repeal of the law, they had no right to encourage the — e TODAY’S AMUSEMENTS.

From the letters which have come here since the inaugural address was delivered, it is evident that the law enforcement portion of the Hoover ad- dress has provoked comment from one iend of the country to the other and (that there is more serious thinking being done by individuals today as to | their part in the liquor traffic than at any time since the Volstead law was passed. Can the law actually be enforced? swer this query at this time, but it is plain to see they believe that no serious effort such as is now contemplated has ever before been made. The whole organization of the Government will be behind law enforcement from now on and President Hoover has risked his prestige at the very start of his administration on his ability to enforce the law. When Congress reconvenes in a few weeks prohibition will be one of the principal subjects discussed, not- withstanding the fact that there is no particular provision coming up for de- bate.
