The absurdity of aO this is patent enough. Freedom

The Italian people, or a majority of them, may
deem it dsetrable to sacrifice freedom, civil and politi-
cal, to some other temporary good, but they must
realise that they are making a great sacrifice. They
should understand also that freedom of criticism
and dlamsslon Is an indispensable safeguard against
governmental abuses. Rlkov. Premier of Soviet Rus-
sia. sorrowfully admitted this the other day. Des-
potism may be benevolent at first, but when all legiti-
mate opposition has been destroyed degeneration Is
likely to fotiow speedily.
Freedom has insidious foes, even In republics
iffnneaote, tor example, has a bisarre law under
which any newspaper charged With regular publica-
tion of malicious, sensational and defamatory mat-
ter may be suppressed by injunction. The ordinary
law affords adequate remedies against malicious mis-
representation and defamation, and the reactionary
statute empowering any Judge to suppress newspapers
or periodicals as nuisances by write or Injunction Is
—and should be declared—repugnant to the consti-
tutional guarantiee of e free press.
Tb undermine the freedom of the press is Is at-
tack popular government and Imperil civil liberty.
; NEW HAVEN—Leon F. Whitney,
secretary of the American Eugenie
society, IS inclined to the belief that
the ability to amimuiate money

high Intelligence. A survey of as

vealed to him that many subnormal

pared by his desire to avoid offending voters in the
wet Republican states which he must; carry If he Is
to be elected. The Republican arid bemocratte plat-
forms carefully avoid endorsement or condemnation
of prohibition, but both pledge enforcement. The
Democratic nominee has plainly indicated his opin-
ion of prohibition, but to more vigorous terms than
Hoover has ever used about anything he has pledged
hla best efforts to enforce inhibition. The question
of enforcement, therefore, baoomra an issue, because
we have two partita clamoring lor the prittieg* of
enforcing it and the voter must determine which can
enforce it better. Mr. Williams himself begs the
question by haring aside prohibition as an Issue and
arguing that Governor smith would deliberately pre-
vent the enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment
The prospect that John J. Raakob might be aocti-
nated for Secretary or me Treasury and placed in
charge of prohibition enforcement if Governor Smith
Is made president appears to frighten Mr. Williams.
Rut h he satisfied with the administration of the
prohibition enforcement department of th» govern-
ment by Mr. Andrew Mellon, who was sb thoroughly
In sympathy with the ‘Met" tones that he M4 In-
vested large sums of money In distillery stocks and
bald such stocks until just before he entered the Re-
publican cabinet? As a matter of fast, does Mr.
Wiliams think there has been prohibition enforce-
ment to any appreciable degree under either the
Harding or CooUdge sdmlnlstratlnns Has the fed-
eral government stopped the flew of liquor from Qan-
jv - ada and Mexico and other wet countries, and has it
stopped the sale of liquor anywhere in the United j
States? Has the federal government under the Re-
publican administrations made its power felt in Tex- 1
as, wltere bootlegging 1* common and where the po-4 j
bee court blotters are cluttered with reports of drunk- j
‘ .. enness? Mr. Hoover says W; heartily approves the I
* two administrations of Harding and CooUdge; that ’
n^mrx, that he approves their non-enforcement of j
prohibition as well as their oil scandals and other \
corruption. If he Is elected, there will be no tm- 1
provement In prohibition enforcement—sad another 1
four years of such non-enforcement ss wt have had 14
far the past seven years will ruin prohibition in the (
United States.
The Democratic party has a clean record for the 1
enforcement of the prohibition laws under most try- *
ing circumstances, during and immediately following j
the work! war. If placed In power now, it would
undertake prohibition enforcement with a completely j
reorganized staff of enforcement workers, and it I
would have the stimulus of a desire to do better than J
Its rival hat done. The president s personal views j
of prohibition would have little to do with the «h- ,
forcement of the law. and appointments made by him \
to executive positions would have to be approved by <
the 8enate before becoming effective. But. If the
enforcement machinery of the government should fee
suspended and nothing whatever done toward an- J
forcing the dry laws, we still would have as effective ,
prohibition as the Republican party has given us. i
The trouble with Mr. Williams, and many others {
who call themselves ‘dry Democrats," it that they
have a decided anU-Catholic complex and too much ]
of their reading matter bears the signature of the 1
imperial wizard. This country editor, laboring on 4
a crossroads newspaper, is Just as dry aa any torn- j
dred-percenter living south of the Mason and Dixon j
line. He didn't chobee Governor Smith as the noml- I
bee of bis party; but either with or without a noml- 1
nee who may be either wet or dry. he favors the ,
Democratic party rather than the Republican party
SpH its nominees, who are both wet and dry sceord-
. tog to their statements, because Republicanism has |
been given a fair test and has signally failed while j
the Democratic party has a record that is clean and j
clear and we believe it will fulfill Its platform prom-
's jges as to prohibition enforcement. We know that
the federal government is strong enough to enforce 1
tile prohibition laws, for Its power is practically un-
gmited. We know the Republicans baye not en- ,
forced them, and'we believe that “by their fruits ye
know them.” If they have been false to their ‘
pledges under Harding and CooUdge. they wlU be j
fpw under Hoover. Take your choice, and the rea- .
ord of the next four years will tell the tale. 4
