Chester Reporter, Nov. z: Last year
Armistice Day was accorded very lit
tie attention. Here and there COM
munities may have observed the oc-
casion, but for the most part business
went on as usual and the day slipped:
by with little or no observance. This.
year it is encouraging to note a won
derful change. There are probably
very few counties in the state that
will not stage a celebration Of this i'm.
portant, epoch marking date in the
history of the United States; and in
most Instances the celebrations will
be fully in keeping with the impor-
tance Of the occasion. This Is as 1t
should be, and when America gets
back to the spirit Of sacrifice and hui
mility and thanksgiving that mark
ed war days a better time will dawn
in the countrys affairs, temporarily
as we'll as in every other way.............A
symposium representing the views and
opinions of the governors of 25 states
as gathered by one Of the news associa-
tions reveals the fact that these chief
executives almost to a man are deeply
impressed with the success of prohibit
ton, although freely admitting, as any
truthful prohibitionist will, do, that
there are far more infractions of the
law than there ought to be. But there
are infractions of every other law; so
why expect or require 100 per cent ef-
ificiency from the law against the sale
and use Of liquor when violations of
laws that have been on the statute
books for centuries, are Of everyday
occurrence, and are thought nothing
of? There's nobody who would think
of repeating the law against larceny
because people go right along stealing;
neither do they. conclude that the law
against murder is q failure, though
men go right on killing, and juries go
right on turning the guilty loose. The
most wonderful results imaginable
have been wrought in this country's
economic, moral and educational life
by the enactment of the prohibitino
law; and when the old generation Of
drunks. die off; who are largely re-
sponsible for much Of the anti-talk,
coupled with the fellows that have
never worked, but have sold liquor for
a living, and hate to get down to a
sweat and Drawn basis-when this
crowd passes out Of the arena of
action prohibition will be considered
as matter Of course and its violations
will be rare.....---The death Of Walker
