Inspired Washington dispatches tell us that the present Prohibition enforcement methods are “debauching and de basing the entire country”; that the President is "deeply concerned over a belief that the moral fiber of the American people is deteriorating through the open disrespect shown for the effort to enforce Prohibition”; and that "the growth of bootlegging, the temerity of rum-runners, and the serious insinuations against Federal enforcement officers have been worrying the Adminis tration for some months,” until finally—"With Prohibition enforcement recognized as on the verge of absolute collapse in four States and in a condition of serious demoralization elsewhere in the country, President Harding considered today the issuance of a solemn public appeal to all good citizens to discourage bootlegging as a last resort to administer the law.” "One way to make Prohibition prohibit.” declares the New York Evening Post, "would 1* to arrest some of the prominent and respectable people who buy what the bootleggers sell.” The leading article in The Literary Digest this week takes up the subject of the enforce ment of the Prohibition laws and presents the opinions of leading newspapers as to ways and means.
