PROHIBITION UWS NEVER ENFORCED BORIN DECURES IN HIS SPEECH IT IUCUSTI Augusta, Ga.—Positive enforcement the eighteenth amendment has never been tried. Senator William E. Bor ah, republican, of Idaho, charged here ill hn address delivered under the aus pices of the Protestant Minister’s as sociation. “There has never been the moral force and determination which is nec essary to enforcement," Senator Borah declared, asserting that the only w^v to teVe the prohibition is sue out of politics was to make it plain that the constitution will be en forced. “If neither of our political parties will take a definite stand on the li quor question.” he said, “then let the people organize another psrtv which will He lovnl to the constitution of the United States.’’ Senator Borah spoke in the historic Firs* Presbyterian church, attended by Woodrow Wilson as a boy. The capacity of the building was insuffi cient to accommodate the crowd and hundreds swarmed about the church to hear the speech through ampli f lets. He was introduced by William II. Fleming, former congressman from the Tenth t Georgia district, who de clared that if the democrats should nominate a wet candidate upon a wet platform, the "democratic donkey would break out of his pasture in the south and seek more fertile fields." Senator Borah will return to Wash ington tomorrow. “When the debate on the liquor problem opened a few months ago, the question did not seem particularly im portant," he asserted. “The controv ersy had not proceeded far, however, until the most imporant issue that a self-governing people ran ever be called unon to consider forged its wav to the front, “Instead of a modification of the Volsterd act. we now have the nul lification of the constitution Inst od of non-intoxicating liquor within the constitution, the demand is now for intoxicating liquor in defiance of the constitution. The same leaders who asked in the beginning for modification within the constitution, now declare that they will have intoxicating liquor, consti tution or no constitution, Volstead act or no Volstead act. This is the issue that we now have to meet." "It may be that it is within tne power of the liquor interests to amend the constitution, a thing which it is well within their right to undertake and within possibilities to achieve. But I take the privilege of asserting, end without fear of the future, that it is not within the rower of the qqor interests to nullify the consti tution. “If th" eighteenth amendment was an injudicious distribution of power between the state and national gov ernments, the people can take it out of the constitution by the same pro cess they wrote it in, if a mistake was made, the people can be shown that it was a mistake, and they are wise enbugh and brave enough to take it out. , “If, on the other hand, after re consideration, and further reflection,, the people conclude it was not a mis take then under the proper and sin cere leadership the people will give up to it. “There is no possible excuse to in voke nullification. There is no law, there is no provision of the constitu-; tion which may not be rewritten or wholly expunged. To preach nullifi cation/* to preach lawlessness—an cient and persistent enemy of all re cublics. “What are the arguments against, following orderly procedure of amend ing the constitution? They are fam iliar arguments*.They arc the prac tices which are making a hell of Eu rope today. First is that it will take too long, and that the method is ted ious and cumbersome. It is said the eighteenth amendment is against conscience, oppressive, therefore dis-; regarded. , . , “This is the precise argument winch nullified contracts and the law of property in Russia. We are told the people arc fonatics or wanting in ( judgment, and that they may not re peal the amendment—that is the basis j of military rule in Poland. ‘'Certainly, forms prescribed by the | constitution will have to be observ ed, for this is a government of law j and not of men. It may take some time to accomplish all this. Rut it. will take far less time to amend in the manner pointed out by the con- ! stitution that it will take to convince the American people that nullifica tion is a sound principle »f ■ govern ment. I venture to say there could be no greater exhibition of self-abase ment, of national degredation, than for this great people to leave the eighteenth amendment in the consti tution, and, as some have said, for get it and live in daily disregard of H. ' “If adversaries of the amendment ; would submit a referendum in their respective states for repeal of it, they would be pursuing a course not subject to criticism, an orderly, digni fied course. But their referendum® in j the form submitted are for the pur pose of undermining and destroying the constitution through nullification. “This is the exact meaning,, of the j proposed referendum in the state of New York, to be followed we are told ( by similar referendums in other! states. The people are now being.ask ed to express themselves in favor of j •mending the constitution, but in1 1 favor of the slates respectively con i struing and enforcing the constitu tion. “The state of Now York long ago repealed its statute for the enforce ment. of the amendment, declaring thereby it would not, as a state, re sist in enforcing it, having repealed its state law for enforcement, it now asks that it be permitted to enforce it and that the national government consent to all this program. “Nullification is not revolution. It has none of the open, manly quali ties of revolution. Nullification is the slinking, silent, cowardly supping of the very foundation of all order, all government, the evasive betrayal of t a nation, and the ,spirit and motive of anarchy, without either its courage or its faith. “What we need is not less democ racy but more. Not less faith in con stitution government, hut more. There is no evil but what we cannot for a I time endure, there is no hardship that we canot afford to forget, there is no patience which we should not be willing to practice, ra'her than to aid and abet in this almost warld-widc attack upon a constitutional govern ment.” Serious Immoral Charges, Too Ob scene For Print, Alleged Hy Women Witnesses , Raleigh.—Dr. R. S. Carroll, Ashe I ville physician and neurotic specialist, ' was barred from the practice of medi cine hy the state board of medical I examiners last night following an in jon :„,0 charges ef immoral relations with women patients who had gone to him for treatment. The announcement of the revoca tion of Dr. Carroll's license to nrac tiee medicine hy Dr. Lucius N. Glenn, of Gastonia, a member of the board, and came after hearings in Raleigh that extended over two days. Dr. Carroll and his attorneys noted an appeal from the action of the board to the Buncombe wiunty su perior court. The Statute permits an appeal to the courts. Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, state public welfare commissioner, who brought the serious charges against the 68-year-old Asheville physician before the board of medical examin ers, had no statement to make last night. She had not been notified then of the o-tion of the board. Women Prefer Charges Dr. Carroll, who is prominently connected with the Highland hospi tal at Asheviln. was specifically charged with immoral conduct of a gross nature by approximately a score of women, who came from as far west as the State of Missouri. A large number were from North Carolina. There were also a number of sworn affidavits from a number of other women who were unable to be pres, ent. The charges were brought to the attention of the State board of medi cal examiners by attorney general Dennis G. Brummitt, who was re quested to do so by Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, commissioner of the public board of charities and public welfare. Mrs. Johnson, it is understood, learn ed of the charges through a number of the women who had become pat ients in Dr. Carroll’s hospital. The charges against the Asheville man were brought to the attention of the board of examiners in an in formal way sometime ago. The board first considered the charges, accord ing to Dr. Glenn, at its meeting here on June 24, when the annual summer "loss of "on'icants to practice medi cine in this State toflk the examina tions, but adjournment was taken without any definite action being tak en in the matter. Announcement was made at that time that the board would convene again here on July 16, but the date was later postponed un til July 18. Secret Hearings Held Convening here Monday morning the board declined to either affirm or deny that charges against the Ashe ville physician were being considered. A veil of secrecy was thrown about the sessions of the board, and no au thentic information was forthcom ing until last night shortly after the vote was (taken. According to Dr. Glenn, the nature of the charges against the Asheville doctor were too obscene to print. Dr. Carroll, according to Dr. Glenn, is 58 years of age and has been prac ticing medicine in this State for 25 years, specializing in neurotic dis eases of women at the Highland hos pital in Asheville.

GIVES HUSBAND NOT A CHANCE TO BE ENOCH ARDEN Richmond, Va., July 21.—Although she was permitted by Court decree to collect insurance on the life of her husband, Edward Harris Moon, Mrs. Katherine Scales Moon has filed suit for divorce in the Law of Equity Court here. Moon disappeared from the steamship Jefferson on August 30, 1922, while that vessel was off th-* Virginia Capes. A wide search wa.% made for him but he was never found. After considerable litigation, the j United States District Court here held that the insurance was collectabll by Mrs. Moon. The divorce suit, which charged “desertion for three years,” the statute requirement, was institu ted. Mrs. Moon’s attorneys declared, with the view to giving .her a legal status. The decree in the insurance case, they said, had no effect on this point. i WHERE SAVINGS ARE GREATEST^!
