Prohibition in the House

THERE seems every reason 10 believe, AS
The Times Dispatch said the other day.
that the prohibition plans Of the Anti Sa loon
League. as expressed i'll the Mapp bill and al
ready enacted by the Senate. will be approved
III turn by the House. There is some likeli-
hood that the drastic punitive provisions Of
the measure will be softened and a bare
chance that Il more sensible device will he
substituted for the commissioner Of prohh-
ton Otherwise, the uhstantivc features of
the Mapp bill are quite certain TO stand as
they are.
If this newspaper were hostile to a wise
prohibition law. ii would ask nothing better
than that the penalties fixed by the Senate
be left untouched. These penalties represent
IL considerable mitigation of those originally
proposed and supported. but they are drastic
enough still. They will not be inflicted by
virginia jurics for minor attractions of the
law Either the law itself will become un-
popular or law enforcement generally will
attain new dsrcpute. Failure 10 enforce
this law will make doubly difficult the enforce
ment OF any law.
American contempt for law is one of the
most serious aspects OF our modern life It

Georsias unenviablc situation as the first

wealth. Contempt Of one law breeds con

married at the Presbyterian manse
