4 is worth noting that the Streeter
libel law was not repealed at the last
1egislatiye session After carefully
considering the matter. we have no
doubt the legislators decided that the
law was no bar to Just criticism and
wise check upon the too free ex-
preston Of editorial opinion by I'M
scrupuious and yindictive editors Of
irresponsible organs. Though the law
has been in force for several years

We are pleased to note the gen
erons praise with which the local pa.
pers Of the state greet their return
ing legislators. With few exceptions
the press Of the several legislative dis
tricts chronicle the homecoming Of
the senators and representatives with
literary crowns of laurel. It is usu,
ally stated that Senator So-and-So
and Representative So-and-So have re.
fured from the forum with a long and
untarnished record Of praisWorthy
things mplished, and the people
OF SHch-and-Such a legislative district
have reason to be Justly proud Of
their representatives in the upper and
lower houses of the legislature. I. All
OF which we have not bit of doubt
is true There may be few papers,
disgruntled and sour. that fail to ac-
cord the returning members the hon
ors they deserve. but they are few
and their discordant criticisms are
lost in the general chorus OF acclaim.

szssea OF r4E ASSOCIATED PRESS
REFERENDUM AND PROHIBITION.

Some surprise is expressed by news
papers holding rigidly to the principle
of maintaining the prohibition law at
all hazards, that the legislature should
have passed so many laws tending
more effectively to enforce the pro
hibition law and at the same time
open the door to resubmission by
passing an Initiative and referendum
law with a provision for the submits
sion OF constitutional amendments,
thus opening the door to resubmission
of the prohibition clause.
We incline to the opinion that the
initiative and referendum law was
passed without any especial reference
to prohibition, members voting for the
amendment providing for the submits
sion of stitutional amendments on
the broad ground that it is safe To
entrust the people with a vote upon
any question. The laws tending more
effectively to enforce prohibition are
wise for the reason that in a great
section of the state prohibition has
not been enforced 1t is not fair ID
seek to pass Judgment upon the value
of a prohibition law until there has
been real prohibition in all parts Ct
the state-until all liquor shops are
closed and closed tight until the
evasion of the law by means Of blind
pigs and by whatever other means it
is eyaded is brought to an end. When
the sale of liquor in the state has been
brought to an end SO far as fair
and honest effort to bring it to an end
is possible, when there are few or no
blind pigs, when the violation OF the
law is made crime and punishable
crime, when law breakers are driven
out Of business. when places Of resort
for the drinking Of liquor are closed,
then it will be possible to pass judy
ment and say whether the prohibition
law is benefit or not.
1T may be that If there is an enforce
ment Of the law in all parts Of the
state, there may be converts to pro.
hibition from those now in the ranks
of the resubmissionists. Few resub-
smissionists will argue that the world
would not be better for the absence
of liquor drinking. But they do argue
that a temperate system Of high IL
cense and a sane regulation Of the
liquor traffic would be preferable to a
system which permits the unwhole-
some and lawbreaking influence Of
blind pigs, and thrusts upon us a
myriad Of disreputahle joints without
even the compensation of a license or
the protection of a civic regulation.
Letsus enforce the law and see what
the effect will be and whether or not
prohibition is good or bad.
