Roosevelt of New. York said the
VolHtcnd act hna not imposed an
obligation on states to enforce it.
He added, "It Is time for the coun-
try to realize that fact." 1 The
Wickersham -lotter, - pointing out
that the weakness of prohibition
I enforcement has been due to the
jfact that the federal -government-
hit a lini'nn Ihn hrunt nf thn nnlfxlnit
work under the (amendment.- sug
gested that enforcement be divided
between the states and the na
tional authorities.
His Interpretation of the amend
ment la that the states are given
concurrent Jurisdiction with the
federal government In the enforce,
ment of prohibition, but that It Is
optional with the states to choose
the policing power conferred
them.
Governor Ritchie . pointed out
that courts and police In Mary
land under an attorney general's
ruling, do not act In prohibition
enses. He gald that fur this reason
the courts and police are left more
time to act In other rases, with
the result that there have been
more arrets In and more convic

ever before and that criminality Is
on the wane In the state. He be
