I have watched with careful vision the invasion of the sanctuary of law by the enemies of prohibition in concert with a weak. vacillating. bribetaking. "bought and paid for" contingent of executive authority. In every part of the Nation prohibition is a byword and a jokeand why? It is because of the laxity in the enforcement of the prohibition laws. and the inability to effectively enforce the immigration lawvs. I need advance no argument in this enlightened age against the evils of alcoholism. The dread is not alone against the poisonous. illicit distillations which inflame the minds of men. driving them to deeds of hellish import. destruction of homes. and devastation of every manly virtue. but I speak of that awful dread and dire consequence of the growing tendency of disrespect of law.
