PARIS, Aug. IA wave of military
mutinies, combined with strikes and
riots, is sweeping Spain. The Tribune
correspondent learned to-day from dip
lomatic sources. News coming from
Spain through ordinary channels is
being censored heavily. The desire of
the government to send reinforcements
to Morocco, where Spanish colonial
troops suffered a decisive defeat re-
Gently, has stirred not only civic and
industrial disturbances, but uprisings
among the troops as we'll.
1t is reported that several thousand
Spanish soldiers, remnants of the de-
fcated force, still are in the noun
tains, some as prisoners Of the Moroc-
cans and Others surrounded. Reports
from Spain are vague, but it is be-
lieved here that troops ordered to
Morocco from some of the largest
cities are now in full mutiny, backed
by the workers.

Does prohibition prohibitF

~ uOtc anu " dOU I.
There ia n cluss OF citizens
who believe in the strict observ-
ance of n law az long as the law
is on the statute books. With
them prohibition does prohibit.
There is another class who
are law abiding in other mat
tiers, yet who do not draw the
distinction quite as finely as
the strict Observers With them
prohibition does not always pro-
hibit, for many of them wink
one or both eyes when there is
an opportunity To put II little
JOY into life"
There are still others to whom
law is but an odious restraint
upon their actions. They are
becoming rich from an Illicit
traffic in forbidden booze.
But that is not all There are
those who are slaves to drink,
and who would barter their
souls for quart or pint. If
they continue to guzzlc the
wood alcohol and other poison
GUS stuff that is sold for wills
key they will soon have no
souls left to barter.
OF all the laws that have been
enacted by the Congress of the
United States, the prohibition
act is the most lamcntable fail.

concerned.
1t is openly deiied in all sec
tons Of the country, and even
people who supported i, ut the
polls are beginning to wonder
if the result has been worth the
effort.
Prohibition agents in the ser.
vice of the government have
cOnnived at its violation-for
graft.
District attorneys are sus.
pectei Of having become sud.
denly blind when men OF politi.
cal influence have been discov

State and municipal authori.
ties are masters OF inactivity
when il comes TO the prosecu-
ton of owners of saloons where
liquor is peddlcd at sky limit
prices.
And the coui !s-but we should
never criticise our fountains of
justice, except to wonder at
times what is beneath the thin
veneer that cloaks at least u
portion Of them.
Does prohibition prohibit?
Even an answer to such n
question is superiluous.
This is not an editorial in sup
port Of prohibition, nor is il one
in opposition to the cause.
Ii is simply n cold statement
of fact.
Congress made the law, and
it's millions OF friends rejoiced.
The government, with all of
it's enormous resources and
powers, is apparently impotent
to enforce it. And it's opponents
are jubulent.
