The reason friend .wife gets dis

Following a di-cision by the United
States Court of Appu-il-5 at Phila
delphia that to buy 'liquor is n-Jt an
offense under either the eiglitf . nt h
amendment or thy Volstead act, Sen
ator Sheppard of Texas, sponsor of
the Eighteenth amendment, has in
troduced an amendment to the Vol
stead act which would make buyer
and seller equally guilty.
Such an amendment would be the
acid test of prohibition. If the buyer
took the chance taken by the seller
the bootlegger would go cut of busi

Why? For the simple reason that it hasn't been fed

! machinery of the United Stales, from
courts to army, was brought into op
eration to force compliance with the
law. United States Marshals wore lia
ble to $1000 fine, plus the value of
the slave, if the runaway was per
mitted to escape or was forcibly res
cued while in their custody. Con
gress even wtnt so far as to declare
that bystanders who refused to assist
in the capture of runaway slaves were
guilty of treason. Obstruction, rescue
or concealment was punishable by
six months' imprisonment and $2000
dames and fine. All this suppression
of the popular will resulted at last in
the Civil War.
More than 50 years before that a
rimilar effort was made to enforce the
alien and sedition acts. These acts
were passed at a time when the Unit
ed States was incensed against France
for her aggression on American com
merce. They were aimed at French
sympathizers, who were exposed to
charges of treason and deportation
without trial. They also struck at the
free press in that they forbade any
printed defense of France in the
United States. There were six prose
cutions under the latter provision,
and popular resentment rose to such
a pitch that the Federalist party,
,which had espoused the alien and sed
ition acts came dangerously near to
giving Federal Judges power to make
any opposition to the ruling party a
felony, and they are regarded to this
day as one of the most drastic ef
forts ever made by Congress to des
troy the liberties of the people.
It would be a serious matter for
Congress to pass such an amendment
to the Volstead actas Senator Shep
pard proposes. While it probably
would destroy the underground li
quor business it would arouse popular
resentment to a pitch that would
make the whole status of prohibition
exeremely precarious. Its status nov:
is none too good. Five states of the
Union are refusing to acquiesce in
prohibition. Theyhave no enforce
ment laws of their own and are say
ing to the United States that if it
want3 prohibition in their borders
it will have to send its own men to
enforce it. To make the buyer and
seller equally guilty would be to put
other states in the category of these
five. The prohibition law is already
a terrible instrument of vengeance;
it would become an infinitely greater
instrument of vengeance under such
an amendment. The charge that one
has bought liquor is a much more
inviting means to blackmail or to
punish one's enemies than the charge
that one has sold liquor. The number
of buyers is infinitely greater than
the number of sellers. Moreover, the
buyers include members of Congress,
the judiciary and persons in the most
influential walks of life. To bring
them down to the level of the boot
legger and the moonshiner would bo
as drastic a measure as the slave
laws and the celebrated sedition acts.
The Volstead act Is, as Gen. Smedley
Butler and many others have said, a
clas law. Is Congress sufficiently
courageous to make good its own ges
ture and thus make sinners of us
all? We doubt it.
Perhaps to do so would be the
quickest way out of an intolerable
situation. It proved so with the fugi
tive slave laws, and it would no
doubt prove so with prohibition. The
country has never been sincere In
this sumptuary law: The best way to
prove Its insincerity would be to make
prohibition absolute. St. Louis Post
Dispatch. :o:
STATISTICAL NOTE
Mr. WickersLam's committee should
consider it is not how prohibition
can be enforced. The answer to that
is easy. Call out the Army and the
Navy, conscript all the local police,
build 10,000 new jails, and spnd all
of the government's income catching
all bootleggers and their patrons, and
in supporting them in the peniten
tiary. All these methods would probably
be unconstitutional, but what method
is not? The real issue, then, is not
how Mr. Volstcad's legislation can
be enforced, but whether or not it
should be enforced.
"There are certain boundari-s set
by nature and not by man" said Mr.
Howard, "beyond which it is both
improper and nugatory to make legal
regulations."
In other words, a law must be an
enforceable rule of reason. Any meas
ure which fails to meet this descrip
tion deserves no 'respect and can coin
mand no obedience.

A physician suggests a possible
relation between the increase of su
gar consumption since prohibition's
advent and the rising number of
deaths from diabetes mellitus. He
submits figures to show that sugar
consumption per capita was 104.27
pounds in 1928, against 85.43 in
1919, the year before the eighteenth
amendment went into effect. He also
shows that in the state of Maryland
the death rate from diabetes mellitus
rose from 16.2 per 100,000 in 1919
to 22.8 in 1928, despite the introduc
tion of insulin as an aid to the reduc
tion of mortality. Rollo, pass the
peppermints.
You are going to buy many things
in the next 90 days, but the kind of
a buy you will make will depend on
how well posted you are on that for
which you are in the market and
how well posted you are on the var
ious places to buy it. The way to be
posted is to know all there is to
know about both. Therefore common
sense and good business judgment
say. "Study up, that you may get
your money's worth."
You do not have to go out of your
home, your office, or your place of
business to get the best possible in
formation. You can learn all there
is to know about everything offered
for sale, if you will just read news
paper advertising.
Many people get the wrong idea of
advertising. There are dozens of de
flnitions; but, regardless of any of
them, advertising is to you an op
portunity to study, learn and get
posted on the things for which you
are in the market. It used to be
"Read the ads and get stung: nowa
days it is, "Fail to read the ads and
buy blindfolded."
A fraud can misrepresent when he
talks to you, but he doesn't dare lie
in a newspaper that is why a lot of
shysters don't advertise but that is
no sign all are frauds: it is just a
sign they are old-fashioned and be
hind the times.
A concern should invite you to do
business with them, and keep d&in
both until you become a customer. If
they fail to do this, then they have
no reason or right to complain if you
do not patronize them.

A high official of the Canadian
government has notified the American
State Department that 100 per cent
of all the liquor smuggled across the
Canadian border into the U. S. A. is
handled by Americans. They are the
smugglers. They finance the inflow.
They own the planes. They own the
high speed motor cars. Moreover, he
says, it is for the American author
ities to smash the rings and com
binations and then all will be well
The American border states will be
Saharas of thirst and the law will be
vindicated.
:o:
Another reason why many mar
riages turn out such duds is because
a man so often thinks if he brings
her candy and flowers and takes her
to shows during courtship she should
be content to spend the rest of her
life acting as his valet.
