Enforcing Prohibition.

0NE of the best means of enforcing the
~ Volstead act is to secure enforcement
agents who are in sympathy with prohibition.
Many scandals are breathed about concerning
the acquisriveness OF some dry agents, their sus-
ceptibility to bribery and their cver-incre asing
bank accounts. What does this signify? Does
it prove that the prohibition laws can not be en-
forced? Or does it prove only that number
OF the wrong sort of men have been engaged to
put John Barleycorn out of business forever in
the United States?
OF course. most of the present officers are
upright and honorable men whose only thought
is to do their duty and who would no more
accept bribc from bootlegger than a jaiguard
would accept a. bribc from murderer about to be
banged. But, without question. there are some
officers who, do not consider their duty with the
proper degree OF seriousness. They have been
told often that prohibition is a farce" and
that the who fails to get his" is A fool
that they believe it themselves. Men of this
type. think, bring discredit on the large body
OF efficient officers engaged in the prohibition
unit -
1he preponderant sentiment Of the country
is for prohibition. 1t should not be difficult to
hnd men who have an inherited dread and ha-
tired OF whisky to fill up the ranks of the police
who must sec that the law is enforced If the
dry oHicers are out OF sympathy with the law
they certainly are not the right sort of men to
draw salaries for stamping out the liquor evil I'd
1t has been explained that when the force was
organized number OF undesirable characters were
given jobs and that some Of these have worn the
badge OF Office ever since. But these men are
dropping out slowly and there now is reason to
believe that a higher type OF officer is taking
their place-men who will hunt down booteggers
fearlessly and without let-up

Status of Prohibition.

To the Editor. The Washington Hers'd: Y
would like to exUress my ap-
preciation of your splendid edi-
torial on the prohibition question.
Even IL selling. buying or making
Illicit liquor is a favorite occupa-
tion at the present time with
some people that does not nullify
the ultimate good that win surely
result from one of the best laws
ever passed. One cannot expect to
make 4 sweeping change in q sim
gle generation and the coming
generations are the ones who will
really reap the full beneft of this
law. We must always go through

heaval during housecleaning time.

read an item in a magazine
recently that might be added as a
postscript to your editorial. 1t
was this: ''Out of a total ,of 1884,
32l votes cast by prisoners In 1922
jsils. only 900 favored repeal Of
the prohibition amendment. The
Vote was taken at the suggestion
of Senator who wanted to know
how the prisoners stand on the
whisky question" One should
think that these prisoners who are
paying the price of their misdeeds
know what they are talking
about. Very truly yours,

g IR THOMAS Upton will try for Americas
y cup once more The Irish baronet who
already has spent more than $3pooooo in long

wish him good luck. The bulk of the American
people would not be disappointed if he won this
time psan who has spent almost lifetime of
honest effort to obtain trnket surely deserves to
get the reward he seeks. ~
But Sir Thomas Upton we presume, would be
disappointed If he knew that anyone in the United
States wanted 10 give him the cup. He is true
sportsman III he won easily the reward would be
of no consequence to him. 1t is valuable only as il
IS difficult to secure
Yacht races never will grasp the popular imag-
nation in the United States They are too imper-
sonsl. In the whole world, perhaps Upton himself
is the only wellknown. outstanding figure in this
branch of sport. The American public already has
forgotten the name of the owner Of the boat which
won the trophy the last time. Of course, there is
personal element. Skill in handling the boats
counts for something. But the public can not wit
ness the demonstration of this skill They see
only the boats-things OF wood and iron. 1t is
hard to make a hero out of boat.
Then again, yachting usually has been consid-
cred rich mans game. This accusation doubtless
is just, The men who can afford to engage in such
a pastime are removed from the enthusiastic SYM
pathy oi the great public by their superior social
positions. 81 - ,
In any event; there is not likely to be much
unfestrained enthusiasm over the next races There
will be few tears shed and so far as the average
man is concerned, little money lost if Sir Thomas
Upton sails back to England with the cup in his
cabin.
If it were baseball football, golf. tennis or any
r ufStau din0o p,t,t
would feel differently. Then We all would be on
the sidelines cheering for the American. But boat.
racing is different We would as soon let Britain
have the championship in this line as in cricket
or any other distinctly British pastime We wish
Mr.. Upton good luck. If it would not hurt his
feelings we would say that we hope he will win.
But he seeks no easy victory. Americans at least
will soothe his sensibities sportsman by max
ing good fight.
