TEMPERANCE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT

control The desire for food g. E. can
become so strong that a hungry man
VIII steal it. If he can get 1t in no
other way--like E,sau he will sell his
htrthright to appease his hunger.
What is true of a desire for food ia
far more true of a desire for an in
tcXlcating beverage. So intense be-
comes the thirst for liquor that there
is nothing too dishonorahle for some
men to do to get ii. 1t is a thirst. an
appetite that can't be disposed Of by
legislative enactments And so when
the state went dry there were great
numbers of PEOPLE all over Virginia
who for years had been accustomed
to either moderate or immoderate
continue to have their liquor. statewide
or no statewide.
BootIcggers Sprang Up.
Also knowing this there sprang up
all over Virginia any number of boot
leggers-'nen and women-who have
no regard for law and whose sole OBJ
ject was to make money by procuring
( liquor for those who said they must
have it. Also there are others. some
of them prominent in the business and
professional world and who have made
use Of their ability and influences to
make as hard sailing as they could
for the new prohibition craft And
so while 1t is not necessary to have
A special commissioner to enforce the
law VS.. theft or murder. 1t was neces-
sary right at the beginning to have a
commissioner to enforce the prohibit
ton laws and that necessity was made
imperative in large measure If not al
together by the three classes to which
I have just referred; the man who
must have his liquor. the bootlegger
who supplied his wants for money
consideration, and the high toned. re-
spectacle citizens who insists that
liquor legislation interferes with the
exercise of mans personal liberty.
Before the state went dry the great
argument Of the liquor people was
that the law could not be enforced IL
the state did go dry. that the law
would be a dead letter upon the statute
hooks and many good dry people sin
cerely believed the same thing. and
But the law has been and is now
being enforced.
Have been Convinced.
The dry people who voted wet have
been in large measure, convinced that
they were in error when they voted
wet and are pleased with the meas
ure of law enforcement which we
have. OF course no law Is ever en-
forced to the complete exclusion OF
the thing it prohibits We have laws
against murder and theft and. yet both
murder and theft are being constantly
committed.
So while the prohibition law is not
perfect in its working. yet it is being
enforced to a degree that has sur
rrised the wet people beyond measure.
1t is being enforced so well that the
people who want liquor have so much
difficulty in getting it and perhaps
co not get it at all and hence the
great outcry in some quarters Of vir-
ginia against prohibition and the pro-
hibition commissioner.
Before the state went dry the vets
said the law could not be enforced il
1t did go dry. and now that the law
10 being enforced they are raising .
