DEPLoRABLE CONDITION

WASHINGTON, D. C., December 19 Harding was described to day as feeling that the incident at Philadelphia involving charges of mis- conduct by naval academy midship- men after the recent Army-Navy game revealed laxity in prohibition en- forcement that was both discouraging and deplorable. It is recognized, it was said at the White House, that sim liar incident might have occurred in any one of a score of large cities.

NEITHER VETS NOR DRYs
 SATISFIED WITH RESULTS
(Ry David Lawrence)

WASHINGTON, D. C., December l9 -The prohibition mess is getting rot tener than ever. Nobody is satisfied with the present situation-neither vets or drys. President HaTding's an- nouncement that the cabinet had ols- cussed the entire subject and that an anpeal to the conscience of the Amer ican people on the subject Of law en- forcement is pending, constitutes the Hrst direct result of the last election.
 The. significance of MT. Hardlngs course in bringing the matte: to public attention at this time is realization that the machinery of enforcement Is not only inadequate but ineffective without public sentiment. Many of the foes of prohibition argued again and again that a law involving the morals of the country ought not to be put on the statute books until sentiment IS practically unanimous. Experience with liouor laws in the several states for a generation has proved that pup lie sentiment makes a law effective or A dead letter according as the people choose.
 The federal government is aware that in many states public sentiment has virtually nullified the law. Dry leaders are constantly urging the gov ment to do something about it. Recent elections in the so-called wet state have made matters even worse. How much enthusiasm for instance have the state officials in New Jersey TOT law enforcement when the state voted for a wet candidate by a big majority? And how discouraging is the task of the federal officials who realize that they haven't the moral support ot the local authorities. After all, the police powers of the nation are vested ln the states and cities and even the most ardent friend of prohibition will con cede that without the support Of the states the federal government faces an almost hopeless task in Tidding the country of bootleggers. The constitu- tional amendment contemplated con- current jurisdiction of the states and the federal government. It was hoped that both would be in favor of the en- forcement of the law. But some states have by one means or another, shirk- ed their tasks. Massachusetts, in the last election voted against a bill to help the federal government enforce prohibition. The movement in the wet states is not at present aimed to se- cure a return of the saloon-the out cry is for Liberalization" namely the making of wines and beers.
 In accordance as this sentiment grows the federal government finds respect for the existing laws dimin- ishing. And the defenders of prohibi- tion point out that if the laws are lib eralized the enforcement machinery will break down altogether and the sale of whiskey will be difficult to stop.

FA VORS DETROIT SCHOOLS
AFTER CHICAGO MEETING

While on his way home from the
National Educational Association
Conference. held last week IN Chi

the Wilmington Board of Education.
penned the following special article
on the doings Of tke conference and
the impressions they had made on
his mind:
ANY one Interested in the educa-
tonal progress and advancements
who did not attend the educational
conference missed the opportunity
of a lifetime. Chicago As TO be con-
graduated upon the systematic and
businessllke handling OF the execu-
tive work and the carrying out Of
the program. Every branch Of ed
ucational work was taken up by the
leading men distinguished in the va
rious branches IN classical. elemen-
tary. primary. vocational. physical.
Secreational. etc.
Perhaps the foremost subject ad-
vanced and discussed was the hous-
Ing problem. II Is very evident that
not only Wilmington has antiquated
school buildings and is aroused TO
this realization. but It is true to
more or less an extent I'm all cities.
Perhaps as never before. In every
section OF our country. the keenest
interest is being taken by the peo-
pie and the utmost enthusiasm
shown IN behalf OF suitable school
buildings embodying positively hy-
gienic and all other surrounding
conditions so necessary in the
grow and development OF child
life. While every taxpayer feels ne
Is being taxed TO the limit al this
time. 10 was suggested by every
speaker that the world could better
afford TO practice economy in any
other branch of constructive Inn
provement and progress rather than
permit under any circumstances or
conditions that tke lives and well
fare of our boys and girls be jeop-
ardized. 1 know this is not much
different as a whole from what our
people have heard much OF. but /
venture 10 say that 10 those who are
opposed TO our contemplated build
ing program could have attended

would be suggested or referendum
be required.
