m Washington, Jan. 16. ? Five years of prohibit ion of ilie
manufacture and sale of intoxicntiiiK liquors still linds the
question deep-rooted in American politics but with the cause j
Of law enforcement taken up in earnest :it last by a President
<Jf the United Stales.
* Slowly and without oxton- >
fetion the "dry" side has
$adc its impression on Cal
15" Coolidge so that law en
fbrcement may bo expected
thenceforth with all the vigor
that the Government can
command.
. Mr. Coolidsp in hi* curly days
tn politics was counted as not al
together "dry," but whatever he
night have been before ho stands
today as the only President in tliej
ra-t Ave yearn who has won tin i
absolute confidence of the "dry*." ,
Here Is a significant announce
ment by the Uoard of Temperance
qJ the Methodist Episcopal
Church:
? "The vigorous and Intelligent j
Cttlon of Attorney General Stone
$ New Jersey, together with t h ? ? j
quite evident personal Interest of '
the President of the Cnltcd Stat'
ty the problem of law enforce
ment clearly heralds the dawn of
a? new day. Ilecreont officials j
#111 be 'put down." Faithful men I
#111 be elevated. Criminal rebel-]
Uon will be crushed. The prohl
Mtlon law will be enforced." J
* For several weeks there have 1
fipen whisperings that Mr. Cool
Mge had taken the prohibition
problem Into' his own hands and i
Jfas watching enforcement v.-ry
jjosely. The "drys" have been 1
Jubilant. They claim to have been j
hnrrasHt-d and obstructed at every
turn by subordinate officials and
pjat the President's recognition
of the situation 1h a moral victory ,
for the cause of enforcement.
* Mr. Coolldge has had relatively
\lttle to say nbout prohibition
?Ince he took office. He is rep re
lented, however, as viewing the
frtatter from the viewpoint of law
and order. An amendment for
plddlng the manufacture and sale j
of intoxicants Ih a part of the
Constitution; a law has been!
passed providing penalties for vi
olation and thero is nothing -for
an honest and sincere public offi
cial to do but enforce the law.
Rome of the feeling expressed
by the "drys" that they have not
been given co-operation by the
Government is due to the presence
In high administration quarters of
pronounced "wets." The Secre
tary of the Treasury, Andrew \V.
Mellon, Is called A "wet," having
had large Interests In a distillery
before prohibition came. He i
much too busy with the financial
side of the Government to give
personal attention to the work of
one of his bureaus ? that of Inter
nal revenue which Includes the
prohibition unit ? and while no
One % has ever proved that he In
torferr d with prohibition en

Mr. Hardin*: refrained and toward

t? ? total, r and made at Denver a'
plea f"r law enforcement which
entirely ratistied the "drys."j
There arc various nuMsurcs pend

* -nforceiuoitt. Mori of them look
toward tlio strengthening rather \
than tli?* weakening of tin* Vol-i
stead Ail. Th?* Stalker bill, for'
Instance, would provide jail sen
tences fur llrat ofTeuders. Tin- ?
Johnson bill provides for depor-.
l:ti ion of aliens convicted of vio-|
lating the Vulstead law.
IL once passed the House but!
failed to bo voted on in the Son-'
ate and is now up again before ^
tlto House.
In nddition to the foregoinK,
I !??? "drys" are trying to get legls
l;it ion which shall place all hever- i
age alcidiollc liquors undt r con
trol of Government agencies for
sale and distribution and that
particularly the Government shall
acquire all liquor now In Govern-]
ment bonded warehouse. The pur
pose of this is said to be legitl
mate distribution.
This Ih not all, however, for the 4
"drys" oro urging, too, that 'Vv-j
cntually Congress should place
under -the provisions of thn pro-,
hlbition act all intoxicating li- J
quora made and possessed before
the passage of the KiKlit^'ntli'
amendment. At prea< at wealthy'
?wniT8 of "collars/' provided they
can establish tin- fact or Action
that their liquors were obtained .
before prohibition, are undis
turbed by the prohibition law.
For the thirsty there is little
hope that the Volstead law will
be repealed for some time to come J
unless public ncntlm'-nt chanu<p
materially. So far as Congress ir ,
concerned, it Is in the control oi
tho "drya." What may result
from strict enforcement of tin
law is another question as some
"weta" think it will provide the
reaction they long have ? :;pected.
