President. this slimy history of corruption ought to convince the most zealous prohibitionist that the time has come when we ought to take an inventory of our Government. when we ought to recognize the corrupting influences that are bound to enter into the enforcement of a law which has no justification in morals or righteous conduct. These men. the report says. as they entered the United States penitentiary in Leavenworth. Kans.. to serve 20 months. told these stories of the enforcement of the prohibition law by the Immigration Department. the administration of which law was then under the direction of the distinguished junior Senator from Pennsylvania . I refer to the immigration law. not the internal revenue laws or prohibition laws. however. He had nothing to do with the enforcement of those laws. but the very moment that the border patrol was called upon to enforce prohibition. he found his force reeking with bribery and corruption.
