As ti "Hero f Conscience" and Bootlegger As An Ex ponent of "Personal Lib erty"; Must Uphold Law Cincinnati. Aug. 31.-Theorles of political philosophy aow "advanced by those who ether violate law or sympathiae with tha law violator in in dustrial conflicts, agitation ts upset American form of government and against ' enforcement of prohibition statutes are the greatest forces at work in tha United States to undermine respert for law. Attorney General Daufffcerty declared today in an address hafnm tha American Bar Association. Arguing equally against sentiment that regard! a convicted I. w. w. at hero of conscience and political prisoner," that holds a bootlegger as ex ponent of ''personal liberty" and sets ap the slogan of "human rights against property rjgnts" in employment, ois- putcs, Mr. Daugherty asserted fallacy and danger lay in nil. - Dangeroas Theories The Attorney General, ia his address, which was hit first sine assuming office, suggested a method of informing public opinion by semi-governmental means to obviate industrial conflicts, but advo cated complete disregard fcr tha theor ies advanced in tha other two fields.' He declared the demand for "personal lib' erty" in prohibition enforcement ha been "advanced In the past by- every champion of lawlessness who hat sought excuse for unlawful conduct. . "Supremacy of tha law ia not under mined, by . the ordinary criminal who commits murder, 'robbery, larceny, Mr, Daugherty said. "To the contrary, every neeurrencc ef Crimea of this sort tends t impress upon society the pro found importance of law and its vigor ous enforcement. .The supremscy ef the law is and haa been challenged mainly in that clasc of legislation where there exists a difference ef opinion as to gov, ernmeatal policy In enacting the legis lation in question At the present time among the forces undermining respect for law V are the doctrine of so-called political offenses, erroneous conceptions of personal liberty end false doctrines as to the rights of indi viduals and minorities." Mistaken Attitade Resentment of large corporations of persons and capital''- against "inter ference of laws regulating them, Mr. Dangherty said, involved a "mistaken attitude" for "lowland order is the shield of business and its security.' Despite the bitterness shown during recent yrart in industrial disputes, Mr, Daugherty said "statesmen, economists and thinkers are hopelessly divided"" as to a remedy, "because they have not had at hand a trustworthy report of the facte ia each case.' , It seems de sirable." ke concluded at to this, "that there should be some agency in govern ment to investigate the facts of each case as it arises, make a finding, and publish it to those concerned. Bach publicity in most eases will be all suffi cient to settle the question without further action." -.The suggested investigation should rest en the undisputed theory that the public have a right to kaow what the auarrel ia about in every strike or lockout," but the Unding should not be backed by legislation compelling acceptance by either party, he added. The Attorney General, who recently made a study of the esses of Eugene V. Debs and ethers serving sentences for violation ef war time laws, dis cussed at length the question ot "po litical offenses. Political Offense "There it ' Bow being disseminated extended propaganda to dignify the crimes committed by many persons now la' prison for disloyal conduct or obstructing the government la the war with Germany by a general doctrine of political offense," he said. "To create a public sentiment .not "only ta.havc luch.

WANT TO FORGET E Public Health Service and Red Cross Making No' Response To Harding Appeal The News and Observer Bureau, 603 District Nstional Bsnk Building. By EDWARD K. BRITTON (By Special Leased Wirt.) Washington, Aug. 11, It it very evi dent from the stillness about the Publie Health Service and the Bed Cross, aad It might be added, also, the White House, that there is a desire to have blotted from tho publie memory the break that was made whea there was loose talk about ''starvation and fam ine" in the South in connection with the working of the recent pellagra Cesrs. From the Public Health Service there has come no whole-hearted withdraws! of the designation ot conditions as such st to carry to the public mind the thought that the people of the South were in a state of actual narration though there hat been admission that the urn of the word evae not warranted at Ttferting te actual conditions, but that it was natter ot the people net sting the kind ef foods which the Pub lie Health Service held should, bs uMi te hesdeff any increase of pellagra, v Regrets Action ef Rankin ,, The itatement of Dr. W. B Bankln, North Carolina 8tate officer, published ia the Newa and Observer ot Tuetdty, in which Dr. Bankin made clear that the pellagra tea re did not apply to North Carolina and the ether Southern states, refuting the tUtenrtnte issued by tht Publie Health Service, wat shown to Surgeon General Cumming today. He read the entire article end after a gen eral discussion of matters to which it pertained, said this: "It was thedetircof Publie Health Service to be of assistance to the South ia warding off pelTagra when ita etate ment was issued, and I feel sure that Dr. Goldbergfr, who is a reeognixed authority on pellagra, had no purpose to do anything that would tend to in jure that section of the country. I do aot wish to enter into any controversy in the matter, but I regret very much that Dr. Bankin teet fit to impugn my motives and those of Dr. Goldberger in this matter. After all time will bo the arbiter, for when there is any esti mate of things te happen In tho future there ean at best be but estimates made and the estimttet made at to pellagra conditions in the future were based upon the statistics and the happen ings of tho past. Nobody would be more delighted than I would be, or more de lighted than Dr. Goldberger would bo, If it were proved by the actual results that the Public Health service wat in error in its deductions. There is one good thing which has come out of this matter, and that is that the newspaper publicity given the pellagra matter haa served to direet the sttention of the people to what thould be done to avoid itt increase." Red Cross Tskee No Action.
