The effort of the brewers and sa-
loOnkeepers Of Michigan to nave it be-
iieved that violation of liquor laws
are related 10 prohibition and to local
ces and conditions under which the
beer trade and the whiskcy trade
would pursue its course without seek
ing to evade and violate the laws
have come to be thoroughly under
stood by the newspapers OF this state.
And this understanding is that no
matter where located or under what
form Of so.called regulation" the sa-
looms will violate any laws that seek
To limit or control their operations.
1t does not matter whether the city or
community undertakes TO regulate the
liquor traffic by limiting the number
of the saloons or by charging $1,000
license or by refusing licenses, or by
county, township or paecinct local
option laws. The retailer Of liquor
have the same attitude toward re-
gulatiou or limitation Of every kind
aud character. They are always de-
manding an alteration. They are
always arguing that if the law is TO
be enforced it must be amended. And
il it is not amended they brazenly
call attention To their own violations
as proof of the laws weakness. No
other business in existance makes nse
of its own lawlesness as reason why
it should be granted savors. Noother
law. breaking element boasts Of its
own vicious accomplishments as reason
why such breaking should be con-
tinued,
