counties where the law enforce
ment sentiment is weak. Never
I am going to attempt it,
and expect to start proceedings
against several sherifs, and will
use every method that the present
machinery Of the law affords to
bring about enforcement Of the
law"
Attorney General Miller be-
lieves that new state and federal
legislation will be of considerable
value of making the campaign eff
fective. I'VE have state laws GO
ing into effect July l." he said;
prohibiting persons from solicit
ing orders for liquor in the state,
and also prohibiting the papers
from running liqur advertisements.
Another new law is of more
practical importance than either
of those. 1t provides for an exa-
mination by the tstate food COM
missioner of all brands of LIQUOR
sold in the state. Before any
liquors are sold in the state, sam
Piles must be submitted to Pro-
fessor Ladd, and they must stand
a given test for purity. This will
put it in possession of the names
Of all manufactures and dealers
doing business in the state, will
assist in locating those engaged in
the trade and help us to get evil
dence.
''The new federal law which is
effective Jan. 1, 1910, will be of
great help in our work. It pro-
hibits all 9. O. D. shipments into
territory where liquor selling is
prohibited, and further requires
that all shipments of liquor shall
be marked plainly on the package,
showing the amount and kind of
liquor, and to whom it is consign-
ed. That will make it easy to To-
cate persons who are receiving IL
quor shipments. in quantities too
large for home use, and they can
be easily checkmated. The ex-
press package with the blind label
on it is the most common way of
supplying the blind pig trade.
There is a good deal Of disre-
spect for the prohibition law in
Bismarck, and the attorney gener-
al is not as popular in his home
town as in some other sections of
the state. He was elected on his
record as an assistant attorney
after several successful
prosecutions Of liquor dealers.
Enforcement means hard fighting
all the time, especially in the
western section Of the state The

blind piggers are ex-
to reap big harvest from
