A Problem in Law Enforcement.

Q IN always has been in the world. 1t
~ always will be. The idealist dream OF
the reformcrs, who would leglslatc il into
100 per cent purity, never will materializc.
So long as human nature is falible there
will he need of laws. and there will be those
who will break them. All tina, il is hu-
manly possible to do Is to enforce the laws
rs nearly TO the letter they can he made
enforceable? If the laws Are good, there
will be no complaint from law-abidng per
sons: II the laws are unjust or unduly bur
densomc, their rigid enforcement may lead
to their amendment or repeal
Which leads TO the discussion of proh:bi-
tion here in Richmond. city perhaps as
lawabiding and az well policed as any in
the country. Absolute law enforcement IL
unattainable. Particularly is that true of
the prohibition laws. with which perhaps
80 per cent OF the citizens are not in full
sympathy. Whisky has been sold on the
streets OF Richmond since Virginia made
its sale illegal IL IS safe 10 say it will be
sold there so long as the present laws make
its sale so richly profitable. Certainly no
one living now will see the day when +,
cannot be purchased for price. To say
this is 10 cast no reflection on the Police

Daylight Visit of Bandits to

Nets Two Cases.

Less than week after several
thousand dollars worth of conhs-
Gated liquor had. been returned to
Charles A. Lewis, former saloon
proprietor, 1880 South Thirtieth ave-
nue., highjackers made a daylight
visit to >the Lewis home and made
off with two cases of the stuff. The
theft occurred yesterday morning
while the family was absent from the
house.
About 20 other cases of liquor had
been piled in the kitchen by the
highjackers preparatory to being re-
moved from the house. At least foul
men comprised the party of high
jackers that escaped in an automo-
bile, Mrs. Lewis declared. She said
she could identify two of the men.
The liquor was conhscated by state
agents in a raid on the Lewis resi-
dence August 13. Mr.. Lewis was
fined $lO0 and costs in Central po-
lice court and the case was appealed
to district court. A week ago the
stuff was returned to Mr.. Lewis by
Sheriff Clark upon order of District
Judge Estelle.

Street Railway Co.
Pays Occupation Tax
And Disposes Of Suit

The payment of $115,02339 occu-
patton tax for 1919 by the Omaha
and Council Bluffs Street Railway
company yesterday disposed of liti-
cation which has been pending be-
tween the city and the traction COM
pany for nearly year. -
The street railway company re-
fused year ago to pay occupation
tax on the grounds that its earnings
were not adequate on the five-ceut
fare basis; that the city had stood
in the way of the company obtaining
more than a hve-cent rate from the
State Railway commission, and that
the occupation taxes under such cir
cumstances were unconstitutional
and conhscatory.
The street car company was al
lowed seven-cent fare last summer,
and it began in August to collect this
rate. The revenues of the company
since August have permitted it to pay
the disputed occupation tax where
upon Corporation Counsel Lambert
agreed to the dismissal of the suit
brought by the city. 4

Ringer Compliments
Omaha Patrol1nen on

Police Commissioner Ringer, in a
short talk to patrolmen at the Cen

the men on their work in the past

received from citizens expressing
their appreciation for the courtesy
shown by the officers and their quick
response to calls.
Mr.. Ringer also reviewed the rec
ord on automobiles recovered in

ing that Omaha stands among the
first cities in the west in the per-
centage Of recovered cars.
Regardless of the amount of criti-
cism which the department has been

has more than been a credit to the
city of Omaha, and because of this !
