Aaltatlon Aaalnst Drv Amendment
. Denounced Bv Washington Senator
and President Censured for Inrnilr
Inq In the Conviction of Thomas
Moonev of California.
"WASHINGTON. FWi. 2!. Aglta
tlon thruout the country of various
plans to Ignore, evade, or defeat nst
ional prohibition was denounced In
the sonate today by Senator Jones of
Washington, republican. In an ad
dress urging observance ot law and
order as a means ot suppressing rad
ical unrest.
Prominent newspapers, public of
ficials and public men, Senator Jones
asserted, aro advocating defiance ot
the 'prohibition law. He crltlcliod
President Wilson for "Interfering" in
the case of. Thomas Mooney of Cali
fornia. The senator, altho an advo
cate of woman suffrage, also attack
ed tho president tor alleged Improper
conduct In addressing the senate in
behalf of the suffrage amendment
and declared officials ot his position
were disregarding constitutional lim
itations and great and respectable
interests were Inciting the law's-defiance.
. ,
.-' ' Deflers of Law
. Referring to alleged attempts or
newspapers and public men to nullify
prohibition laws, the Washington
senator declared: ....
"By their words and their . acts
they are defiers of law; breeders of
revolution; teachers of Bolshevism,
un-Americanism and unpatrlotism.
They do not urge the law's enforce
ment. They incite and encourage re
sistance to it.
"We are told that this law and
this amendment are to be annulled in
one way or another; that the people's
verdict is to be nullified and set
aside; that great lawyers are going
to prostitute their talents to defeat
the people's will, that legislatures
re going to disregard the sentiment
. ot the people; that labor proposes to
strike; that revolution Is at hand."
. Censures President
Declaring that disregard by high
officials stimulates Its disregard by
the masses. Senator Jones referred
to the Mooney case and added:
"The president did not Intend it
but he brought our institutitlons Into
contempt and struck a deadly blow at
the vitals of the republic when be
used the influence ot his high office
to control the executive of a state.
His unauthorized act in sending a
commission to investigate the acts of
stato officials gives anarchy its
chance to mislead the unthinking to
lawlessness and contempt for author
ity. He disregarded one of the fun
damental principles of the republic
when he interfered. By his action
he encouraged disrespect and con
tempt for legal authority and orderly
process of law and undermined local
tself-government.
."Grant that Mooney is innocent.
The excuse for interference only
made matters worse. It was a con
cession to tbe bad in Bolshevism in a
foreign oountry and aggravated mat
ters there and brought trouble here.
It encouraged disregard for our laws
that will take a long time to eradl
cate."
