THAT it costs money to protect
honest people from robbers and
thieves, and also to punish those
who trample upon the laws made
by a majority of our people, there
can be no honest denial; but, be-
cause the law breaker sees fit to
break the laws of the land, would
II be right for the honorable and
law-abiding people of this, or any
other land, to throw up their hands
and permit any or all kind of law
lessness to run rampant, simply be-
cause it costs money to enforce the
laws. Many thoughtless people
have voiced the cry raised by those
who would like to see the saloons
again open in Kent and Sussex that
the cost of prosecuting the negro
liquor sellers, at the recent terms
OF court have mounted up into hun
dreds OF dollars. Well, what of it
It IS far better to punish these law
breakers and disturbers ofthe peace,
even at a high cost, than to let
them run rampant in our midst.

The following article clipped

an article inspired by the writer in
a liquor advocate paper similar to
the Seaford News, and the Every

OF the "wetest" spots in that
county, and yet the illegal sale of
liquor seems to be very brisk there. /,

less in IL out of the county's 36
