iff j. Shanks. OF south Dakota, is in
Mitchell on business connected with his
office, which has to do with the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law which
went into effect on the first day of

enforcement. he said:
The people of the state have very
generally accepted the prohibition
law, which went into effect July l, as
a real. sure enough law, and it is being
respected and obeyed, except in a few
localities. And it is my official bust
ness to seek out its violators n if
possible get evidence which will cause
them also to respect it.
There are some druggists in the
state who 10 not seem to exactly
grasp the idea that the Law applies to
them, n it may be necessary to swell
the population in the state penitentiary
with some OF the proprietors and clerks
OF those violating drug stores, before
they will understand fully that the law
applies to everybody"
