Of local officials make such action nee
essary, the board Of temperance of the
Methodist Episcopal church was told
here to-day by John +. Kramer, federal
prohibition commissioner. 1t was Mr.
kramer's first announcement of policy
since he assumed Office week ago.
Mr.. Kramer said the people of the
country could be divided into two
classes
Heretofore the line of demareation
has been between those who favored
the prohibition Of the liquor traffic and
those who opposed it, he said. From
now on the line of demarcatiop viii be
between those who are in favor OF
obeying the law, whether their per
sonal views are in harmony with the
law or not, and those Who will be ready
and anxious 20 violate the law"
Describing the machinery being set
up for the enforcement of prohibition
laws. Mr., Kramer said: "The first
step would be with the various state
inspectors.
They will keep themselves informed
as to conditions in their states he
said, "and will report to the state fed,
eral director, who viii investigate and
report TO the district federal agent, who
viii use his force to investigate and
arrest ii evidence warrants. One Of the
chief duties Of the state federal direc.
tor will be to enlist the aid OF an state
officers. He will also endeavor to Sc
cure the backing and support Of all
civic, moral and religious bodies.
Affirming his belief that the great
mass of the American people were at
heart abiding, the prohibition chief de-
clared that "this fact will tell might

from the law" He declared that local
authorities should be Jealous of their
rights of enforcement and jealous in

Warning the board that the battle
for prohibition was ''but well
launched" Mr. Kramer declared that
the greatest danger the friends of pro.
hibition faced was that "our people are
not given to maintaining a continued ef.
fort along any particular line of re-
form"
''The battle for prohibition i not
