A Good Move.

Five hundred men from the
Bible Classes and Brotherlioods
of Pittsburgh, Pa. met recently
aud organized to clean up their
district. They will personally
cooperate with the police 10 an
effort to suppress vice and rum.
That is a practical effort and
Is just what is needed every
where. The Prohibition law will
not be fully enforced until the
people recognize their RESPONSE
bility ia this matter and organize
for liquor suppression. 1t is evil
dent to any thoughtful mind that
the present dry forces or proba.
bly, any other force that might
be organized, no matter how eff.
cient, will not be able to entirely
suppress the liquor traffic by theil
efforts. The task of policing
Americas wide domain is Her.
culean. But with the co-opera
ton of the citizens, the task !:
not ouly simplified but will bs
easily accomplished. The Pro
hibition officers have repeatedly
requested the cooperation of the
citizens in their law enforce
ment program. The Pittsburgh
churches have responded and the
chances are that law enforce
ment in the Iron City will be
more effective than at any time
heretofore.
