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. Elizabeth Tyler, 401 Flatiron Building. EXPECT U. S. CONTROL OF ROADS TO CONTINUE.
