VoLSTEADlNG IN HIGH GEAR

NEITHER Governor Miller. of New York.
~ nor the Legislature that passed his
dry enforcement bill nor the police who take
orders from Mayor Hyan could be counted
at any time among the active supporters Of
the eighteenth amendment or the principles
PnunCtatcd in the federal dry law. At best
they were neutral when the fight was ON.
So the furious zeal with which Comms.
sioner Enright and his men have set about
to make Manhattan and it's astonished en-
virons bone dry cannot be attributed to
moral conviction or belief in the more
modern form of soul saving
II is easy to see that, whatever Governor
Miller may have sought to achieve, police
othcaldom in New York is dedicated TO the
task of making Nolsteadism odious by
making it actual. The federal grand jury
has announced that II will return no in
dlctmcnt against any one arrested for the
possession of strong drink unless there is
evidence 10 prove that the contrabnnd was
held for barter or sale. Still, arrests made
possible under the state enforcement act of
people merely caught with the goods and
suspected continue at an astonishing rate.
The courts are Cogged. There is no method
Of dealing with all the prisoners. Confusion
threatens. II has been suggested 10 the
police that they go a bit more cautiously.
But each such appeal inspires them with
nc" energy and enthusiasm. and there was
n note of rejoicing in the voices of Enrght
and his assortates when. they announced
that it will require about $50 900 900
year to keep Manhattan even surerfically
dry.
Now what thp 'Votstead act and .he New
iork state enforcement act contemplated
was not oppression. raids. sortes and
sudden violent attempts TO accomplish the
impossible. The first duty of Enright and
his police was to prevent the fragrant viola-
ZION Of federal laws in public places Doing
mat much and no more the New York police
would have made sane beginning at task
that will require years of patient and Judi
rious work If it is over TO be accomplished
al all, For the time being there is only one
law in New York that is being enforced to
and little beyond the hilt, and that is the
anti liquor law. And Judging by the temper
OF the administration the much herald

ment to hinder and not to help general pro-

ship, George Washington. Virtually all the
new liners, including an impressive feet on
the Pacific. testify to the energy and skill
of marine engineering in the Delaware river

In spite of the fact that many criticisms
Of the shipping board have been warranted,
here is epoch making achievement. Pre-
tentious plans of which doubts were freely
entertained are bearing fruit. The Ameri-

steamships and those exclusively in private
hands is one of the finest and most modern

The survival Of this enterprise is depend

problem of government control is by no
means fully worked out, and it may be that,

may supcrspde the present elaborate system

made can be really uulifed. The effects Of
the blow dealt to the American passenger
