ENFORCEMENT CRUCIAL TEST OF PROHI LAWS Liquor Pouring Into Country Over Borders Brings Wave of Crime. PROHIBITION ON TRIAL WASHINGTON, D. C.—More laws to enforce prohibition anil stricter enforcement of the laws already passed. This is the gist of the belligerent program with which the Anti-Saloon League approaches the beginning of anew administration. It is backed by a Congress overwhelmingly pledged to enforcement of prohibition and to no modification of the laws in the way of leniency, and it is faced by the fact tl>at the prohibition amendment is being widely and variously brokeu. The question of enforcement is now admitted to be the crucial one. That is, there seems to be no doubt the prohibitionists can pass all the laws that are needed. They dominate not only Congress, but most of the State Legislatures. Thirty-eight States have already passed enforcement codes, aud it is predicted that most of the others will speedily do so. But passing a law is one thing and enforcing it is another. In spite of all these laws, liquor is pouring Into the country over both borders aud through every port. It is being taken out of bond aud sold. It is being illicitly ma le and sold. It is being made in many homes by the occupants thereof for their own use, and these illicit makers of beer, wine and whisky include persons of a great variety of classes, poor aud rich, rural and urban. Can this wave of lawlessness be checked ? The prohibitionists have presumably convinced the American electorate that prohibition is a good thing if it can be made effective. But if it cannot be made effective, if it gives rise merely to an elaborate system of law-breaking, then the question legitimately arises again, as to whether it is a good thing In such circumstances. In other words, the best point of attack which the opponents of prohibition have is that a law Which cannot be enforced is worse than no law at all, and that intelligent regulation. which could be enforced, would undoubtedly be better than complete prohibition which cannot be enforced. WHISKY MAY BE BOUGHT IN AJtJf CITY. The prohibitionists evidently realize this fact. Prohibition may be considered to be on trial now as a practical proposition, Just as it was on trial for a long time as a theoretical proposition. If enforcement is made year by year more effective, it will be hard Indeed for the ygtponents of the law to make an effective attack upon-4t. If the wave of lawgathers and spreads, if the law is a dead letter in a considerable part of the country, then prohibition will be attacked as a practical failure, whatever Its theoretical merits. The present situation seems to be about this: Whisky of the standard distillery hrands can be purchased in most large cities by any one who can pay from S-S to sl2 a quart for it. Various moonshine brews can be purchased in many rural sections. Certain alleged medicines, containing large percentages of alcohol and prescribed on the bottle to he taken in doses of several glasses a day may he purchased at very reasonable prices in drag stores and delicatessen stores al most everywhere. Above all. almost any one who has ordinary cooking facilities can make in his home either ale, "beer, wine or whisky, and beyond a douot great numbers of persons do so. How can all of these breaches of the law, and especially the lost one, be stopped? We talked this matter over with Wayne B. Wheeler, who is general counsel for the Anti-Saloon League, and ha* often been referred to as the brains of that organization. His point of view Is most Interesting and presumably may I*e taken as representative of that of the active prohibitionists in general. A profound faith In law and in police power G* the basis of Mr. Wheeler's philosophy. He sees the present wave of law-breaking as a mere temporary thing which will inevitably be crushed. . “The law-breakpr always falls,” h says. “He may give us a lot cf trouble, but we will get him in the long run.” CAMPAIGN AGAINST LAWXESSNESS. He outlined at some length bow the illicit sale of liquor would be checked by laws governing the disposal of whisky In warehouses, by strengthening the enforcement organization, and by a campaign of education against lawlessness. "The man who breaks the law Is a traitor and ought to he shot,” he said. He added that the American people could not hope to stamp out Bolshevism and anarchy as long as they tolerated the lawlessness of those who break the prohibition amendment. The Anti-Saloon League, he Intimated, will devote much of its educational effort to driving home this Idea. In other words. It will try to make the man who breaks the prohibition law an object of social odium. That Is undoubtedly one thing which Is lacking. It Is considered no disgrace to “make your own.” The best people do it. The methods are discussed at the most fashionable and otherwise respectable gatherings. The prohobitlonlsts recognize this as a lamentable state of affairs. They realize that men do not fear the punishments of the law half as much as they fear the bad opinion of their fellows. They propose therefore to make the liquor-law-breaker a pariah, to put him in the same class with the busy-bearded bomb-bran-dishing Bolshevist of the cartoons. This would be easy If he were an isolated figure. But It will be hard when jhere are large, solid blocks of such lawbreakers, when whole communities anil especially whole social classes feel the same way about It. Mr. Wheeler was convincing in his , statement of how prohibition will he enforced exrent in the matter of homebrewing. There Indeed is the difficult pnrt ot the job. To restrict the sale of malt aud hops will harder solve the problem, for you can make a good beverage out of almost any fruit or vegetable, anil the ways of doing it are multiplying and spreading. Unless the right of a man’s home to be free from search without warrant Is abolished, so that prohibition agents can ransack our houses at regular Intervals for evidences of liquor making, the prevention by police of homebrewing and distilling seems hardly practicable. This is tacitly admitted to a certain extent by the prohibitionists who say that they depend on their campaign against the spirit of lawlessness to do the werk. Mr. Wheeler adds to this another argument. "The making of various home-brews,” he says, “Is novelty now. But the novelty will wear off, and it will be forgotten.” This Is an interesting speculation. It is a bit confnsiug to the unprejudiced i inquirer, because, when the prohibition movement was in the propaganda stage. we were told that drinking alcohol" was an insidious and tenacious habit. If once a man got in the habit of drinking liquor, we were told, he would do almost anything to gratify the appetite so acquired. Surely if this is true, the homebrewer’s love for his brew wiP grow rather than dwindle with time. We ventured to point out to Mr. Wheeler that many who break the pro. hiNitioa law do so la the belief that it

is a violation of their personal liberty, and that they are therefore Justified In lawlessness. It was inquired what would be the prohibition reply to this viewpoint. “There is no such thing as personal liberty under a civilized government.” said Mr. Wheeler. ‘Personal liberty ends where public wrong begins. There Is only civil liberty, which is liberty under law.” This impromptu statement must evidently be taken ns suggestive rather than complete. It leaves one to puzzle out for himself the nature of a civil liberty which is not personal, and how pnblic wrongs should spring from Individual rights. None the less. Mr. Wheeler makes the prohibitionist point of view pretty clear. 'Better law enforcement. More laws, and the man who breaks them is a traitor and ought to be shot.” Whatever else it evidently means business.

HUMAN NATURE MADE PERFECT BY STATE LAWS Debate on Regulation of Public Morals Again Thrown Into Arena. TWO SCHOOLS OF BELIEF

WASHINGTON, I). C.—Resolved : That human nature can he improved and even 1 made perfect by removing from it every | imaginable temptation, such as drink, gambling, smoking, danciug, short skirts, Sunday baseball and moving pictures of thrilling love scenes. This subject for debate lias been hurled Into the arena by the announcement that various religious and reform organizations intend to have the observance of the Sabbath made compulsory in the United States. Some propose to do this by Federal, law, and some by city and State law. At the same time there is more or less talk of legislation against cigarettes and gambling. In a word, It is evident that the forces of moral reform plan to follow up the prohibition amendment with a campaign for a variety of other legislation designed o improve our morals by force rather than I suasion. i At the same time, a howl of protest ! has gone up against the proposed Sabbath law and all the other moral legislation. It is made very plain that there is a powerful and aggressive negative to the above proposition, as well as a powerful and organized affirmative. The reformers, of course, say that the negative |is backed by promoters of amusements, -dealers In tobacco, and nlher Interested j parties, just as the opponents of reform | say that the reformers are all in the pay ! of a few narrow-minded millionaires who I are ambitious to make us feet their j power by regulating our personal cou--1 duet. . Asa matter of fact there are sincere persons enough on both sides. You have onlv to talk to a few of the reformers to realize that moat of them use burning with sincerity, that they firmly believe the world can be improved, if we can only get laws enough and policemen nongb to enforce them. ! GENUINE AND HEATED DIFFERENCE IN IDEAS. Nor do vou have to go far to find a man who has not a cent Invested in any amusement proposition whatever an* npvs*r to have, but who almost foams at the mouth as he tells you that In this alleged land of the free there will soon be somewhat less persona. Ill' #rtv than there was in Russia of the I Onr, unless these reformers can in some way lie prevented from executing the.r | benighted designs. Yes. there is a genuine and even lieat'od difference of opinion. And it is one which has existed in this country for a I long time. The reformers undoubtedly | take their intellectual If not their phyrlI cal descent from the colonial Puritans of i New England, the inventors of the blue I law, who put men in stocks for drinkI tng, smoking, kissing and the like. In i fact, what the reformers really aim at is ! nothing less than a revival of the blue laws on a national scale. The opposing school of thought is descended from colonial Virginia and especlallv from snCh men as Patrick Henry and'George Washington According to jthe theory of this school, personal lib- \ prty is ft necessary condition of napplness and of development. personality ! cannot he developed without it, and per- | sonallty Is the essence of civilization “Morality is dependent upon character, I and must therefore he inculcated by education and example, not by force. holds, therefore, that morals are nor a | proper sphere for legislation and that ! moral restraint should be applied only t<> i those win. are irresponsllc the very 'young, the criminal and the weak mlnd ed. This school of thought has faith in human nature and believes that the production of superior individuals is the main purpose of civilization. The moral lts have faith in the tate. in law and In force and aim at the production of an orderly whole, even though individuality ! suffer in the process. ;dr. crafts regarded AH TYPICAL REFORMER. | A typical representative of the ideal of ] uplift by.force is Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, j superintendent of the International Reform Bureau, with whom we had a talk recently about the state of the public morals. Dr. Crafts and his organization ’have been blamed for the project to piss a Federal Sunday blue law He denies ; that this Is the case. He says that the proposition for n Federal law enmo from a couple of State eenferenees of the Methodist Church in the South, that no such law has been introduced in Congress, and that file movement for such a law Is not to be taken seriously. He Is trying merely to have a Sunday blue law passed for the District of Columbia. He says that California and the District are the onlyparts of the United States where adequate Sunday laws do not already exist, j What he favors chiefly Is a campaign for j the enforcement of laws already on the I books. | I)r. Crafts has long been engaged in j trying to induce Congress to pass laws 1 affecting the public moralß. He knows jto a nicety what is constitutional and | what is not, and how to claim the sup- ! port of American tradition for his proj- ! i*cts. He does not take any positions j from which you can easily rout him. i Thus, he is well aware that to make the I observance of the Sabbath ns a religious | day compulsory Is legislation respecting I religion, and that Is forbidden by the j Constitution and by tradition, too. This Is theoretically' a land of religious free dom. Jews, Mohammedans, Buddhists, followers of Pylliagoras, Nietszohe and Confucius, free-thinkers, atheists and Pantheists, have theoretically Just as much right to live and worship or not worship in this country as the most vrthodox Christian. To all of them and ninny others the Sabbath means nothing. It is therefore not constitutional to en force the observance of the Sabbath by Federal law, and it is not in accordance with American traditions of liberty tc> | enforce it by any other kind of law. ! TWO SABBATHS NECESSARY, i SAYS REFORMER. I I)r. Crafts therefore lakes the position j that there are two Sabbaths—a religious and a civil Sabbath. He says that the civil Sabbath is a necessary day of complete rest, and that ns such it Is a part of American tradition. He says there is no more wrong in legislating for a six-day week than there is in ieglslat lug for an eight-hour day. What he wants, he says. Is simply the prohibition of all commercial activity and all work, except what is absolutely necessary, on ; Sunday. He also wants laws against ! noise on Sunday, so that Christians shall j not be disturbed iu their meditations. | . The analogy between the six-day week mid the eight-hour day is. of course, not ! perfect. Eight-hour day legislation simj ply says that the employer shall not hire i the laborer for more than eight hours a j day. It does not restrict the activity of j either of them for the rest of the day. i But the proposed Sunday law would forj bid you from engaging in any gainful ! occupation on Sunday, no matter what I your religion, or how great your need. Nevertheless, It must be admitted that Dr. Crafts has taken a crafty position, j He does not deny that he would like to see a Federal law prohibiting all work and amusement on Sunday, hut he says j that he considers such a law impractica- ! ble. He also admits that he wants Suni day blue laws passed in order that the ; youth of the country will go to Sunday school more. He says that juvenile crime | is on the increase, anil that this Increase i is due more than anything else to the | fact that boys do not go to Sunday school as much as they used to. He

says that a hoy who goes to Sunday baseball games is far more apt to become a criminal than one who” goes to Sunday school. Thus he admits that he wants a Sunday blue law for the effect it will have on church attendance. He therefore hopes that it will be a religious law In effect, although he puts it forward as a civil health law. Dr. Crafts is a moral reformer of the more broad-minded and intelligent type. He realizes that he has sincere and Intelligent opponents and that tuey have some right on their side. But there seems to he just a touch of equivoca-
