LAW AND ORDER"
SUNDAY WILL De
OBSERVED JAN. IS
BY Associated Press

Washington, December S.-Ceiebration
of January 49, the first Sunday after
constitutional prohibition goes into eff
feet, as Flaw and order Sunday was
Endorsed today by Daniel c. Roper, COM
missioner of internal revenue, in a state
ment appealing for an aroused public
conscience with regard to law enforce
ment and promising that prohibition
would be neforced strictly by his bu-
rear.
Whether prohibition is a wise national
policy" said Mr.. Roper. lis no longer a
question for debate or contention among
good citizens.
"As an officer of the federal govern
meRt can have no definite standard with
regard to the enforcement of prohibition
than with respect to the enforcement of
any other law, and I shall therefore in
sist upon the same strict observance of
this law as we endeavor to retain with
respect to all other laws the enforce
ment of which is lodged with this bureau,
cannot believe that any state or other
political division will consciously bring
discredit upon itself by failure to respond
promptly to its full legal and moral re-
sponsihilities of initiative and co-opera-
ton IN connection with the enforcement
of the national prohibition act.
May law and order Sunday mark the
beginning of a nationwide movement to-
ward an everyday law and order OBJ
servance."

of the city council, but that business men
generally were not pleased with the abol-
ishment of the office on account of the
