The law against lotteries run in behalf OF

The law against liquor selling is feebiy en-

Concerning enforcement Of Laws.

10 the Editor Of the Press:
At first blush there seems to be an exact
parallel In the cases of the Sunday laws,
which are In large degree unenforced, and
the liquor law which suffers like inatten-
ton from the officers. But upon close in
spection the analogy almost wholly disap-
pears. There is an old unwritten constitu-
tlonal provision, which makes an old law,
after 1t has grown wbiskers' as the saving
is and outlived its usefulness, become inop-
erative and obsolete. 1t is allowed to remain
on the statute book merely in order that any
Migrant misdemeanor which comes within
Its scope may be promptly and adequately
punished. The Sunday laws, or blue laws. as
they are called are of this nature. Much of
their letter is now ignored, but their spirit
which says that the Sabbath shall be kept as
day OF peace and rest Is generally observed
The law relating to lotteries also comes
within this category 1t is violated in harm
less way, and usually for benevolent pur-
poses to which nobody objects.
But with the liquor law it is different.
The control OF the liquor traffic is a burning,
living issue of today. ALI right minded men
agree that the liquor traffic must be kept I'M
der legislative supervision. Some believe
that the license system is best, while others
maintain that prohibition Is the true solution
III tne problem. In this State the latter class
mas prevailed, and our law is a prohibit0ry
one. NOW the question is, shall the officers
ehaV l the law to the best of their ability or
s Sniaii tney treat 1t as dead letter? am not

In communication to the PRESS the other
day correspondent who signed himself "E"
said:
cannot see that a sworn official has any right
20 consult the people as to whether or not he shall
perform his duty. ta
That opinion was perfectly sound. The
PRESS did not quarrel with it. 1t simply
pointed out that officers were, nevertheless,
affected by the public sentiment around
them, and that year in and year out the de-
gree OF enforcement that law received was
nkeiy TO correspond pretty closely to the de-
mahd oil the average public sentiment. The
laxlty o1 the enforcement of the LIQUOR law
In certain localities We attributed largely To
the want OF vigorous public sentiment de-
handing stronger enforcement. So also the
still greater laxity Of the enforcement of the
law In regard to the observance of Sunday
and the law regarding lotteries The failure
Of the officers TO strictly enforce those laws
we attributed largely to the effect of the fee
BILE public sentiment surrounding them. Sc
now writes that the cases Of the liquor Law
and the Sunday and lottery laws are not anal
agous. The two last laws he thinks are obso.
lete. Whatever may be the fact with regard
to some of the Sunday laws, it cannot be
successfully commended that the lottery law
is in that condition, for within few years
long since tie liquor law was enacted-the
lottery law has been greatly strengthened
and made to apply expressly to
those benevolent objects. in behalf
of which "E" seems to consider its
violation perfectly proper. The truth is the
analogy between the liquor law and the lot
terry law is perfect. Both of them are live
statutes, which have been made or strength
eneo within few years. 1t is as much the
'egai duty Of an officer to enforce one as the
y.ner But in certain localities, both of

Wants Horse Car Fares Reduces.
the Editor of the Press:

To The Editor Of The Press:
The agitation of the reduction of horse
car fares from six to five cents Is opportune
and just. The company has had very for
tunate winter. Their increased facilities
have correspondingy increased their income
for the past few years, "thanks to Superin-
tendent Newman and the able board Of man
ayers, until there seems now no good reason
why the company should longer charge for
asingle fare six cents, discriminating, as 1t
does, between those who can advance their
money to the company and such as can not,
the suggestion of their patrons will be heard
and no longer there exist the absurd six cent

Prohibition is trembling In the balance In
Massachusetts. If the constitutional amend

ent indications; II 1t fails the seventh defeat

shire was the sixth State to vote it down
within that time. The greatest majority
against the proposal was In Texas, where by
92,6S1 it was defeated. Michigan gave a ma
Jority OF 5,645 against prohibition, Oregon
1855, Tennessee 1851. and West Virginia
1854. Several other States will vote on the
question in the near future. The agitation
OF constitutional prohibition in SO many
States at once, speaks volumes for the zeal of
the earnest men and women who are at the
head OF the movement. But is their zeal
wisely directed? win not this failure to Sc
cure the constitutional amendments, of the
expediency of which many good temperance
men are in doubt. operate against the sue

In the States where the voice Of the people
Is registered adversely in these contests2 1t
Is to be feared that il will The
case is being SO presented as to make
the result appear to be test of public opin-
ion, not in regard to the expediency of plac-
Ing prohibition In the constitution, but of
the expediency of prohibition as means Of
suppressing the liquor traffic. An adverse
vote will, therefore, be interpreted as dec
laration on the part of a majority of the peo-
pie that they are not In favor OF that method
and direction to the law-making power to
adopt some other. To be sure, Massachu-
sets does not have general prohibition now,
but it has local option law, which results
In prohibition in many towns. 1t
wonld be positive retrogression to
supplant this law with a license law. But
there is some danger that the defeat of the
prohibitory amendment may lead to move
ment in that direction. The prohibition
leaders are generally able men, and as they
have studied the cause more closely than
anybody else it may be perhaps safely as
sumed that they know low to manage it bet
ter than people not SO closely identified with
1t, yet we cannot help feeling that 1t is
mistake to submit the question of constitu-
tional prohibition to popular vote, until it
ispretty certain that majority of the peo-
pie are in favor of it. fn
