REGULATION AND PROHIBITION

We dislike exceedingly to disturb the dreams
Of our friends who so constantly utter the plea
that prohibition doesn't prohibit but regulation
regulates. We have laid down the proposition,
however. that prohibition prohibits. just as we'll
as regulation regulates. when it is given the
same chance in the faithful and diligent en-
foreement of the law. and must sustain the
contention when the police department OF a
city wills it SO, regulation regulates and pro
hibition prohibits. Otherwise neither is effec-
tive.
The police department of Roanoke Is now en-
forcing the law. Aroused by the shock OF "a
great scandal, the officials OF that city began to
busy themselves with matters they had long
neglected and the result Is that gamblers boot

Because the administration is first Indifferent

The whole problem is one of administration.
Men are paid to enforce law and sworn to 1t.
When they are true TO their oaths of office and
faithful in the discharge of duty prohibition
prohibits and regulation regulates otherwise,
not. The liquor interests know this. They OPP
pose prohibition, Just as they do any attempt to
make regulation more stringent. because they
know the officers can enforce law when they
