NO LoopHoLss IN DRY LAW.

The mixed audience that heard Tax
Commissioner Blue construe the pro-
visions OF the Yost bill enforcing the
prohibition amendment at the Audi
forum on Sunday afternoon came
away in an enlightened state OF mind
as to its drastic provisions. The pen
alties for violation OF the prohibition
statute are not nominal in their ma
ture. but are of prescribed severity
and mandatory. However we may
disagree as TO the wisdom and
efficacy OF the prohibition amendment
as mitigating the evils of the drink
habit, or restricting the liberties of
a large class OF the population. there
is no getting away from the fact that
the law was approved by a phenom-
email majority. and that 1t is the law
and should be enforced until the peo-
pie have another mind on the subject
Commissioner Blue made it quite
plain that no distinctions were to be
made in executing the law. that the
"NoiNhy cOtidi CluD NOulQ receive no
more consideration IL found to be a
violator OF its provisions than that
extended to the disreputable boat
house speak-easy. There are positive
ly no loopholes or DEFICIENCIES in the
law to escape the penalties Of infrac-
tion OF the statute. Any who are
hugging delusion of this character
would better inform themselves at
once on this matter II they wish to
keep out of trouble. The Tax Com
mission Office has been empowered
to enforce the amendment to the let
ter. and 1t proposes to have a suf-
ficient force on guard to see that II is
not violated. The Commissioner will
be aided in this work by the watchfuI
agents of the Anti-Saloon League. who
have seriously determined to do all
they can to explode the generally ac-
cepted theory that prohibition does
not prohibit.
