Law Enforcement

The w. c. T. U. met Tuesday ev-
enlng. Jan. 3. at the home of Mrs.
Amy Gray. The meeting was re-
iplete with interest and zeal for the
temperance cause.
The committee on supplying pro-
gram for temperance day in the pub
lie schools reported the plans per-
fected. The committee on the VIC
tory day program made a favorable
report.
Miss Lillian Thompson presented
a program on up-to-date topics. In
teresting readings and talks were
given. The w. C. T. u. as an organ
ization is as essential for the en-
forcement of dry laws as it was to
have these laws enacted. Some Is
or 20 different organizations under
as many misleading names are in
operation to destroy our prohibition
law. But the greatest menace to
our prohibition cause is not the or
ganized vets, but the SNUG content
of the unorganized and apathetic
drys. If the country ever needed
patriots it needs them now. We
must work for law enforcement as
earnestly as we did for prohibition.
If the people of our county are apa-
thetic and Indifferent whv should
officials care and what right have
we to expect officers not to be apa-
thetic?
The meeting adjourned to meet
Tuesday, Feb. Z, at 2 O'Clock, at the
home of the president Mrs. Lucia
lKraps,-M. e. d.
