SOUTH COMES NORTH.

Southerners, as a rlhe, have done
less travelling around the country
than other Americans. The East has
gone west; the West has gone east;
the North, to some extent has gone
south; the South has kept pretty
much 10 itself. This year it is differ
sorts have remarked on the large
number OF southern people they have
met. One Of the latter is quoted as
explaining thus:
You see, the sOuthcrner has been
making money these last few years.
He feels that he would like to travel
a bit and see something Of what is
going on beyond his own home en-
ylronment. Pie has the money to take
him 10 the better class of places in
the North, where he can meet the kind
Of people he likes to meet. And |
want to tell you that we are delight
cdI with the northerrcrs we are meet
irg. They are quite different from
what the old-timc southerncr thinks.
I'm. glad we are becoming better &C.

PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT.

! Episcopal EOard Of Temperance. Al
tex looking into conditions throughout
the country and talking the matter
over with John f.. Kramer, United
States prohibition commissioned. he
reports that prohibition enforcement
has risen I'M the last few mcnths from
so per cent To S5 per cent. 80
To reach 100 per cent M. Pickcto

can never be attained untr the SEN
! timsnt of local communities comes 70
sasree with the purpose Of the eigh-
teenth amendment and the Volstead
law, and public scntiment in many
| cities and some states is still hostile
to prohibition or else tolerant OF eva
sion and infringement. ..
Time may remedy this The whole
nation cannot DC expected. to come
around unanimously to q new view
point all at once The Richmond, Va.
News-Leader refers pertinently To
original opposition of the south to the.
anti-slavery amendment, and the fact
that now all the southern states have
come to disbelieve in slavery. 1t may
not take anywhere near so long for
the nation TO arrive ,at general and
effective agreement about alcohol.
When that timet comes, there will be
little breaking OF the law, because
fewer people wtil want to break ii,
and when they DO, there will be no
tolerant or applauding. public senti--
ment to sustain them. NJ s a.
In the meantime, everybody who
c&presses an opinion on the subject for

lone thing to beis dope enforce the

Five practical suggestions are given
by Mr.. Pickett for adoption during

patronage out OF il. Third, establish
more flying squadrons responsihle only.

stop the forgeries az whisky with

might have added another remedy Of

timent is dnfriendIy to prohibition,
and hold them to their duty Uncle
