Changing conditions have made
I .ecessary some new methods Of work.
The growth Of sentiment for law en-.
Corcement and the success OF the
League in enforcing the law have
K rought calls from everv part Of the
state and so many that n man can.
not begin to meet the demand. It
vas' thought best to dispense with
he services Of w. J. Arnlod, who has
iven two years Of splendid service
0 the League. and find q man who can
20 the same kind Of work as the Su.
e%rintendent. Agitation is valuable
nd will not be dispensed with, but law
Increment is more needed and ere
tes favorable sentiment faster than
nything else. With two men to
Ian and work together, calls for help
can be responded to moro quickly
md the laws all over the state bet.
ler enforced.
The New Program
Two things were first necessary to
success. The violators Of the law
must be convinced that they can be
ought and successfully prosecuted,
md the good citizens must be con
inced that the law can be enforced
nd be encouraged to cooperate. Both
I these have been accomplished. The
nain top.c Of discussion In every blind
Jig and their main fear is that the
Enlargement League secret service
vii got In, but with all their care we
,eldom fail. Our problem Is not to
get the evidence on bind piggers. In g.
single town but TO reach the whole
state with our small force. More and
more the Enforcement League must
Zeal with the state wide problem and
york along lines OF the transportation
Ind delivery Of liquor and the getting
he officials to do their duty, and these
including the prosecution Of: the lid.
lor soliciting agents will be our spe.
ial lines Of work In the immediate
culture. " -
The Removal Of Officials
The recent legislature passed a law
empowering the Governor to investt.
ate and remove officials who are de.
iEquent in performing their duties.
We advise you to notify your officials,
he statNs attorney, sheriff, and local
)olice officers If blind piggers are op.
'rating In your town. See them per.
5onally and tell them of the place
nd persons violating the law, have
'thers to so notify them. We shall
let on the assumption that it is the
iuty OF these officers to get, the evi,
lence and not wait for 1t to be fur
iished. The states attorney has the
over to subpoena witnesses. the
ight to examine freight and express
,ooks Of Transportation companies
md is provided money by law to hire
electives to get evidence. The sher.
# and police have power to seize, with
>r without a warrant, all liquors In
ended for Illegal use, anywhere even
IN board cars or in depots. Ii blind
ligs or drinking clubs continue. these
officials are wlnking at such violation
and not doing their duty and that is
;uft1cient ground for action BY the
Governor. 1t is up to the officials
o. stop the blind pig lawlessness.
I'M sure that In many counties the OF.
iclals are ready to do their duty and
TO- not need compulsion by law.
Druggist Permits
because of investigations carried
m during March and April sixty per
.nits were turned in and SO far as
We know only eighteen remain In the

n as soon as We can get to the inves.
