- Without past and present membership-application forms in front of me, I

- The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered
- considerably by the Prohibition law. For nothing is more
- destructive of respect for the government and the law of the
- land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open
- secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is
- closely connected with this.
