Groesbeck of Michigan com- mended the spirit of the President's address and pledged to the chief ex- ecutive “the fullest co-operation of the authorities of Michigan.’ Gov.

They have brought the bump to their own heads."’ Govs. Morrison of North Carolina, Preus of Minnesota and Nestles of North Dakota pledged the support of their states in making effective the enforcement program.

Pinchot of Pennsylvania meant | to smoke out President Coolidge on the prohibition question with a view to contingencies next June, when the Republicans choose a candidate for the presidency, he has failed. Gov. Pinchot did not get a chance to speak at all at the Governors’ con- ference. The President called cn four dry Governors—Hardee of Flor- ida, Maybe of Utah, Trinkle of Vir- Ginia and Groesbeck of Michigan. After that, Smith of New York apd Ritchie of Maryland told the confer- ence that the Voletead act was inca- pable of being enforced, a position that Attorney-General Daugherty later said was not germane to the /iasue, which was how to obtain en- forcement. Daugherty further de- ‘eClared that the law could be en- forced, Maryland Governor's Speech. Ritchie made the principal speech for the anti-Volstead side. He said: “The Volstead act is only part of a Federal invasion of the rights of the Mates which strikes hard atthe pocketbook of every citizen and tm- poses a burden which has grown to intolerable proportions and is still growing. “T. think that thts conference should organize itself to study this basic question, and particularly to Giecuss what present and contem- plated activities of the Federal Gov- ernment could be carried on by the estates themselves more satisfactorily and in better accord with the apirit ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH one year nday. one year. *e © * shee *?, Loulse exchange. and Sundav with ty Bt y only Founded Dy Ba wah" H BA LITZER, blished Dally. by The Arcitese Publishing .

Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHENGTON, Oct. 20.—The Bu- reau of Aeronautics, Navy Depart- ment, will participate actively in ‘Navy day,” Oct. 27, by staging nu- merous flights, the most spectacular of which will be another long jaunt by the rigid airship Shenandoah. Unless adverse weather upsets the plans, the Shenandoah will leave Lakehurst, N. J., early on the morn- ing of Oct. 27 and proceed to the northern limit of the Shenandoah Valley via Philadelphia, York and Lancaster, Pa., and Hagerstown, Md. From Hagerstown it will fly down the valley of Virginia, passing over Martinsburg, W. Va., Winchester, Harrisburg, Staunton and and Lex- ington, Va. From Lexington Capt. McCrary will point the nose of the Shenandoah toward Rich- mond, where he expects to arrive not later than 6 p. m., if weather and win® conditions permit the airship to maintain a cruising speed of 40 miles an hour. From the Virginia capital the Shenandoah will return via Vicks- burg, Washington, Baltimore and Wilmington. Flights are scheduled for the Mid- dle West, the Southwest and the Pa- cifie coast.

The national prohibition § act places the duty of its enforcement on the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, his assistants, agents and inspectors.

The other problem, which.I wish to lay before you, is that of in- toxicating Iiquors. The Fighteenth amendment was proposed by the congress of 1917 and its ratifica- tion proclaimed in January, 1919.

They cannot be criticised , for doing their duty. This ie not a political question: it cannot be miade a political question. If there be any principle which has been established by time, by common consent, by the unqualified asser- tion of fundamental and statute law, it is that executives are the law enforcing officers of this na- tion. If this were not so, there would be no warrant for the pres- ent gathering. I can conceive but one opinion on this, in which, every responsible @ement must concur. No amendment, hibition act, render of provision of the eighteenth vr the national pro- contemplates any sur- state responsibility. Under them prohibition becomes obligatory in all states, for the Constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof are especially declared, by the Federal Constitu- tion, to be the supreme law of the land. They are binding upon every inhabitant... . But there still remains to the reserved in the eight- eenth amendment. to pass enforce- ing acts, and.there is still on them a joint responsibility to enact and execute enforcement laws, which may not always be exercised, but which can never be avoided. Trouble Lies in Bootleggers. The complementary duty tu en- forcement of the law is obedience | to the law. That rests with the people themselves.
