I believe, how ever. that it's enforcement depends largely on the sentiment in the local- ity where 1t is effective. I should imag- inc that the saloons in Mobile will have very little trouble in enlisting sympathy on their side to keep open after . o'clock However. if the law Is valid. and is so decided. there will be enough people in either Mobile or Montgomery to see that 1t is enforced.
