DELAWARE JUDGES are making an honest effort

ders that are recognized of sufficient severity to
respect of those who want all laws enforced and
compel respect the by those who take chances.
Wherever the courts have cooperated for enforcement of
law there will be found respect the law and less
ganzed effort nulfy the laws. One of exchanges
on this subject says: Newark N j. man, the second
time for the illegal possession of liquor, fined five
by federal district judge and when unable to pro-
duce the amount the judge paid it himself In Des MOnes
recently Federal Judge Woodrough imposed fine of $500
and sixty day Jail term the second time for
the same oense. The comparison will to point out
what perhaps the most important why the pro-
hbitory not better enforced No matter how zeal
enforcement officers may be- they helpless so long
judges shrk plain duty Most of the attacks on pro-
hibon based the claim that cannot be enforced
The cry that dsrespect for this law is breeding dsre-
spect for all laws five cent fine which the offender
capes paying but result 1t brings the law
into contempt Doubtless this New Jersey judge would
earnedy tell you that in law may be presumed to
intend the natural and probable consequences of his acts
That being true then this judge intended to bring the pro-
hibitory law into contempt.
