VIEWS ON DRY UW
Wickersham Commission's
Enforcement Urge Firftla
Approval Locally.
A grpat deal of loral Interest has
boon shown in the report by the
Wlckersham commission. Law en
forcement nnd executive officers
and leaders of local urouiis, com
ment upon the report as follows:
Guy Cordon, district attorney of
DouRlas county ABsumlns; that
the press reports correctly the
statement of the commission. I
cannot agree with its assumption
that there is a failure of prohibi
tion enforcement. It Is true that
the prohibition law is violated
tlallv; It Is likewise true that In
numerable other statutory prohibi
tions are likewise violated. I can
not understand any student of the
history of criminal law attempting
to pass upon the ultlmale enforce
ability of the prohibition law until
sufficient time has elapsed to get
n proper perspective. Even a super
ficial Rlance at the history of en
forcement of prohibitory laws and
all criminal law is of necessity
prohibitory will reveal that no
such law, affectinir to any extent
tho actions of a larce section of
the public, has ever had thorough
enforcement nor eeneral public ap
proval and obedience dining the
feneration of Us enactment. The
American people have Ingrained In
, them nn n'most fanatical belief In
personal liberty: so strong was
that feeling In revolutionary davs
that even the constitution of the
United Rtntes was adonled with the
nation's fingers crossed. Whv then,
should we expect the prohibition
law. deallm? as it does with what
had become a habit of American
people, to receive a better degree
of enforcement than have other
problhlto'V laws, the suhlect of
which did not have the gustnlory
nnnenl of till" one? Tlrre is no
niwaiinn but Hint, the enrorcen'ont
of the prohibition law has been
relative, but it hns not been a fail
ure. Officer! Held Diligent
I am not familiar with the ma
chinery nor with the result of en
forcement of this law In large
cities. Seven yoars of experience in
law enforcement In biiiiiII towns
and rural sections lias, however1,
given mo a pretty fair insight into
the enforcement of the prohibition
law in such localities. 1 can say.
without fear of contradiction, that
in such HcctlniiH law enforcement
offlcers during the years which
have come under my observation
have given more of their time and
attention to the enforcement of
the prohibition law than to all oth
er criminal laws combined.
Those officers have gono tit their
Job of enforcement of this law In
nn earnest and an honest endeavor
1o make a success of the operation
of the law. I believe that no honest
nnd unhlnsed Investigation of the
facts will disclose that the prohi
bition law has failed of enforce
ment In the rural sections on ac
count of weakness or negligence of
enforcement officers. It Is true that
wo have not had tho cooperation
of tho citizenry; my own opinion is
that such cooperation In tills gen
eration should not have boen ex
pected. Whether such cooperation
will como in tho next generation
r the one succeeding. I cannot
any. I am, however, fully convinced
Hint, considering the lack of gen
eral cooporatlon, which has been
encountered In the enforcement of
the prohibition lnw, the officers
with whom I have come in contact
have made a commendable record
In the enforcement of this stalule.
nnd, if considered nntlonnlly Its en
forcement can bo deemed a fail
ure, such result cannot bo laid nl
Hie door of rural enforcement of
ficers. Dispute Not Ended
Hon. J. K. McCIintock, mayor of
the city of ltosehuig I.Ike all
(trout moral Ishucs, wo llnd nun
hn will Hitter in Interpretation.
No member of the commission tie
Hires, to see a return of the liquor
traffic, and the open saloon Is not
favored, even by Hie ninminiciuioih
of Intoxicant ltciuors. The trouble
,uliiv Is that we who favor the i n
tiro abolition of the Honor tralflc
have gone to seed on law enforce
ment, and have neglected the
teaching of the evil effects of nar
cotics. Tho findings of the cominis
slnn does not satisfy ell her the
friend or enemy of the 1Mb amend
niunt, and the controversy will go
on as usual. The fuel remains that
prohibition has proven a great suc
cess in spite of open rebellion
nniong a certain class of our elu
sions, (latlgland of I'lllcago Is
outstanding example of opposition
to established law. hut that will he

Firm Against Repeal
Mrs. John M. Wills, picsidciii
lloseburg W. O. T. f The o
jneu's Christian Temperance I n
Ion stands emphatically dor oil
nervnnce and enforcement and Pol
repeal of the prohibition law. We
llgree with the report in that en
forcement should be made sIioiik
er. The lSlh nmi-mlmi'iil should lie
enforced as effectively as any oth
er of the laws of tin' I tilted
(States.
Law Is Enforclble
William Vaugh. chief of police of
Hie city of ltosehut R I do not
think that the prohibition law Is mi
enforceable, and, In fact, as a w hole
1 believe that It la as well or 1 I
ler enforced than many of out
other laws. An officer should not
be governed by public sentiment In
such mntters as law enforcement
When he takes his oath of office be
.in that be will uphold and en
force all laws, and, in my opinion.
I,. I. vlnhilllll! his oath Of nfftr
...i, i,a enforces certain laws and
"winks" at the violation of certain
other laws. The prohibition law I"
o mri of our constitution and
ahnnld havo the support and coop

bodies.
Reflects "Dry" Minds
Dr. Charles A. Edwards, pros!
dent Rosehurf! Ministerial union
The Wlckersham commission re
port, as presented to President
Hoover, perhaps more clearly de
fines the mind of the temperance
people. The law enforcement com
mission desires only to make a
great Buccess or what is the most
noted reform in the world's his
tory. I am heartily In favor of any
movement to enforce the eigh
teenth amendment, and the V.
ersham commission's findings, ir
brought Into fruition, would bring
about a satisfactory condition to
all concerned.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 21 A

ican statesman, Ellhu Root, urged
American adherence to the world
court.
Mr. Root, who will be 86 years
old next month, could barely be
heard above the babble of voices
and confusion outside the commit
tee room as he related his part
in drafting the modified proposal
for American adherence.
Sitting at the end of a long table
opposite Chairman Borah, an oppo
nent of the court, Mr, Root was
not Interrupted as he went Into
the history or the tribunal and the
details of America's first proposal
to enter the court with reserva

in
1926. This reservation provided
that the court should not render
an advisory opinion on any ques
tion in which the United States
had, or claimed to have, an inter
est without first obtaining the con
sent of this government.
"First," he said, "In the asking
of advisory opinions of the court
the assembly and the council of
the league of nations would be
obliged to proceed in ignorance of
the attitude of the United States.
It would throw doubt and delay
around all proceedings.
"Second, there was Ignorance on
the part of other powers of the
council as to the meaning of the
term intended in the reservation.
There was Ignorance as to the
scope the United States would give
to the term 'interest.' It might
mean legal Interest, it might mean
political interest and so lortu.
Senate Objection Met
Mr. Root, a former secretary of
s(a(e. reciled instances of the ap
plication of such provisions In oth
er treaties. He recalled the treaty
of 1832 with Russia which ho said
was terminated.
"No difficulties arise any more
over termination." he said. "So the
difficulty in making
nient."
Root then took up the negotia
tions for meeting the senate s ob
jectionable reservation regarding
advisory opinions. He met two
years ago with other international
jurists to solve the problem.
Reading the solution then work
ed out, as provided !n the procto
col now before the senate, Root
said "It does not in the slightest
degree modify the senate's reser

win of Hie Cortland police, who
was conferring with members of
the legislature here lasl night, an
nounced today.

Insurance lax he diverted lo hoi
aioring nn Ihe pension funds of

GRANTS PASS, OREGON'S "BIGGEST LITTLE CITY", NEXT I
NEWSPAPERS ADVERTISE, TOO
The above advertisement which appeared in a recent edi
tion of Printer's Ink, a national advertising and merchandising
journal, is the thirteenth of a series being carried by the leading
daily papers of Oregon outside of Portland, and their national
advertising representative. M. C. Mogensen & Co. The next of
the series, featuring Grants Pass, will appear soon, following
which the entire series wlil be reproduced in book form and sent
to more than 1,000 of the country's leading advertisers and ad
vertising agencies.
The News-Review has been reproducing each advertise
ment in this series to permit local renders to note the promo
tional work in which this paper has been participating and to
demonstrate its faith in advertising. The News-Review's portion
of the cost of this campaign was nearly $500 and results that
have already been attained justify the faith of the papers co
operating. Local merchants who use the News-Review properly
and consistently derive a much larger return than we can hope
to receive from the national field.
