CONCERNING THE PROHIBI
TION LAW.
Failure to enforce prohibition
means anarchy and will jeopar
dize the government, today de
clared Wayne I*. Wheeler, general
eounsel of the Anti-Saloon League
of America, in a statement issued
through the World I’rohihiti r.
< 'nmpaign Stale headquarters. Mr.
Whet If r Said :
“The opponents of the Kith
-1 centh Amendment are on danger
ous ground when they enter upon
campaign to make llie jirohihition
amendment inoperative. Good <*iti
zens may diil’er as to the wisdom
of enacting a law, statutory or or
ganic, |)i<t patriots do not disagree
as to the advisability of enforcing
Jaw.
“The great issue before this
country now is; Shall the Consti
tution he sustained and shall the
law be enforced ? If we fail at thus
point, the government itself it in
jeojordy. If the brewers can nulli
fy the Eighteenth Amendment be
cause they do not likei t, then any
group of people may set aside any
other part of the law or the Con
stitution which is obnoxious to
them, and anarchy will rule.
“The Eighteenth Amendment is
a paid of the Constitution. Every
citizen by the terms of his citizen-
•ship and every officer by his oath
<>t office is bound to support it. It
may be changed in a legal and or
derly, but defiance of it is anarchy.
Those who counsel nullification of
prohibition, should they succeed,
"ill find the chickens coming
home to roost later on.
“If the brewers can nullify the
organic law, what shall we say to
the Bolshevist and Anarchist who
use the same method in order to
accomplish their ends If the gov
ernment is to live, the law must
be enforced.”
Ibe World Prohibition cam
paign is being rapidly organized
in the Southeastern states. Organi
zations are in operation in Geor
gia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee,
Mississippi and South Carolina.
