of my father every week. To me the
paper is q letter from home. which
some times must sadden and as many
times rejoice.
! am sending you some "Heralds"

public. Tho, in small sympathy with
Diaz, it gives its whole influence to the
support of Madero, on trial as it were,
and representing their realized ideals
Of an elected President.
We are disturbed here, but there i.
much to discourage in the lower states.
Many fear intervention, which those
who now feel will never be, unless the
foreign powers which represent bank
ing interests { France J. and the great
mining and industrial interests eng
iand) should declare the United States
as pledged to them to preserve ordel
and stability. The United States b,

The reiteration after reiteratinn that
the prohibition law can't be enforced
grows tiresome. 1t Is 80 scant of
truth. The law can be enforced and is
enforced where aEresting officers and
the courts stand back Of it. Enforce
ment is the apprehension and punish
ment Of violators.
!. Another statement that some people
believe because Of it beng often re-
peated is that the presence of blind
tigers is an accompaniment peculiar to
prohibition. It is not true. Witness
jefferson county, Alabama, with 500
blind tigers under local option and
high license.
But, Notwithstanding all these con-
siderations, ihe prohibition law il
violated more in Atlanta than it should
be, and out of the confused mass Of
suggestions as to how it may be stop
ped comes the definite, specific plan Of
Recorder Broyles. Its simplicity and
directness are refreshing:
LET council but give me the powe,
to sentence liquor law violators to the
stockade for twelve months instead o.
thirty days as now, and | will assure
the people of Atlanta that within, 1
short time blind tigers will be as scarce
here as hens teeth, I mean every
word / say.
