1T DOES WORK.

In some prohibition counties con-
traband whisky is being put up in
tomato cans and sold for canned
fruit. Prohibition doesn't work.
Savannah Press.
The very fact that the law break,
ers have to resort to tomato cans"
to conceal the violation of Law
shows cit works" 1t works as we'll
as any law on the statute book.
It is by such efforts as above to
weaken it's enforcement that hurts
the law more than anything else.
We have law against burglary,
but now and then some evil minded
fellow thinks he can beat the law
and commits burglary by breaking
open store house or dwelling. You
just as we'll say under such circum-
stances the law against burglary
doesn't work" Would you wipe
the law against burglary off the
statute book and leave honest men
to the mercy of idle and vicious
thieves, or would you insist on the
enforcement Of the law and the pro-
lection of your homes and property :?
We have a law against murder,
but low and then "Will Myers"
will decOy an innocent man to the
woods, under the pretext of busi>
ness, murder him in cold blood and
rob his person of money and val
tables. Would you say the law
against murder "does not work, "
and, therefore, ought to be abolish
ed?
We have law against bigamy,
which is frequently violated and the
lives of good women are ruined.
Would you do away with the law
because it is not in every instance
obeyed, or would your righteous in
dignatlon insist on the law remain
ing and punish the guilty?
There is no law, civil or divine,
kept absolutely, and prohibits the
commission OF crime. But without
these laws and restrictions, our
country would be one of outlawry
and unsafe in person aud property.
Atlanta has ''high license" but
blind tigers are frequently unearth-
ed there. Now, why not say high
license doesn't prohibit" men from
violating the law, and therefore we
will do away with the law to license
1t would be just as logical, as to
condemn the prohibition law. be-
cause some ore runs "blind tiger
or sells whisky in tomato can.
When you see man under the
influence of liquor in Marietta you
naturally suppose he has been pat.
ronizing "blind tiger If we had
barrooms back here, the man might
still get his whisky from a blind
tiger and you would think he got i,
from barroom and would make no
effort to unearth it.
The law is a good one, ard, like
all other laws, it is violated. The
thing to do, is for the officers to be
more vigilant in the cnfor cement Of
the law, as much so as they would
enforce the law against murder OF
burglary.

wonder why it is we still
