District Attorney Gets
Democratic Consolation

Two weeks ago the Monte Vista
Journal directed query to the dis
trict attorney asking why competent
results were not forthcoming in the
most flagrant case Of violating the
prohibition law ever tried In this
county. The Monte Vista Democratic
newspaper attempts to make answer
for the district attorney. stating
that when the prosecutor secures a
conviction he is at the end Of his
powers" and nothing more should
be expected.
Somehow we were under the i'm
preston that the district attorney
was the proper agency to secure
Federal recognition Of case. where
Federal action was indicated. and
not 70 sleep upon his rights until
results were obtained.
The Democratic newspaper states
that . letter was written to State
Prohibition Director Vivian by a
prominent citizen OF Monte Vista
urging Federal action. and this
seems to be the only visible evidence
that anyone was taking any aggres-
sivs interest in the matter.
While It has been made clear that
DAocratic policy and the district
attorneys record are In harmony
we suggest that II the Democratic
Newspaper really wishes to further
exeAplify real "human fairness" II
will satisfactory explain why the
town of Alamosa is permitted to
run wide open Ia notorious fact
according to our best information)
