Victory in State
BY GEORGE II. MANNING

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The recent
conviction of "Slick" Silva, considered
one Of the biggest Illicit liquor traffickers
in Tampa. for prohibition violation, is
regarded all over Florida as a signal vic
tory for enforcement in that state, Fed
eral Prohibition Director A. L. Allen of
Florida asserts in a report to Commits
sioner Haynes.
1T is believed that with the sentencing
Of this violator to JAIL" says Director
Allen. there will be few violators willing
to run the risk and go to the trouble of
smuggling in liquor. for now it requires
two or three trips. using five or six auto
mobiles, to get one car of liquor through.
If the people Of Tampa will Just back
up the chief Of police in this matter we
will certainly clean up things here this
winter and the indications are that they
intend tc stand squarely back of all
efforts towards law enforcement"

stroying property, spreading misery and want VIC
lating the faith and repudiating the teaching of
every holy church; when crowns cease to glory IN
the game of pillage and plumber and of manning
men for the cause of a nations "honor, when men

then must we face the real work of the world.
And what is the worlds work if not to battle
against all that the warrior battles for? The work
of the world is not to make miserable but to
make men happy; not to bring to the family hearth
sorrow and despair, but to lay the altar of the
home hope and cheer; not to leave little ones lonely
but to beckon them to come unto us.
Civilizations are destroyed by the reputation of
