ment officers. In municipalities,
upon the village board or city coun-
Gil and police officers.
In some counties in this district
more than twenty thousand dollars
IN fines has been assessed i'll this
court at one term for violations Ill
such county. Would it not be far
better for the taxpayers and for the
reputation of the county if this en-
forcement was conducted in the
county, and the fines covered into
the county treasury; and is it not
more profitable and better for the
municipality to have its own en-
forcement with the result and ben
eft of the fines collected?
Experience of One City
In one city in this district during
the past year, where there had been
practically no enforcement, and the
obstacles as great as i'll any munich
plaity in the district, the officers Of
the city determined to remedy the
situation.
An ordinance was passed, two Off
GERS were employed for the purpose
of securing evidence, and as a result
IN period of six months, more than
nineteen thousand dollars was col
lected in fines; fifty stills destroyed
and thousands of gallons of illegal
liquor were destroyed.
In brief this city has demonstrated
what can be done, has cleared its
reputation and brought credit to its
officials.
Violators are in Minority
1t is comparatively a very small
percentage of the people who DEFY
the prohibition law. The great ma
jority apparently want enforcement.
The roadhouse and the soft drink
parlor appear to be the places of the
major violations. Approximately
seventy-five per cent of the defend
ants in this court are connected with
either soft drink parlor or a road
house.
Local Action Would Relieve Fed
eral Courts
Each county and practically each
municipality has more means of en-
forcement and more enforcement Of
ficers than the federal government
has for such purpose in the entire
district.
| trust that those who believe in
enforcement-the great majority
will think seriously of the situation
and organize and cooperate to bring
about effective enforcement in the
respective counties and municipal

of liquor laws in the federal court,
than in the courts of the county.
State Courts Should Paddock

are some counties i'll which federal
injunctions to the number of fifty,
sixty and more have been issued,
closing premises in such county, and
during the same time, not one in
junction issued by local courts It
is very evident that this condition
can not continue, as the result is that
the federal court is over-burdened
with work that ought to be, at least
to a substantial extent, conducted in
the state courts.
One solution of the situation, open
to the government, seems to be in
vestigation as to the cause of the
lack of local enforcement in some
few counties of this district.
Officials May be Guilty
Ii this investigation discloses evil
dence to warrant, posecution under
the conspiracy act will be justified
In recent case, known as the Gary,
Indiana, case, number of public
officers were indicted and convicted
for conspiracy; this conviction has
been affirmed by the Circuit Court of
Appeals of this district, and certio-
rari has recently been denied by the
Supreme Court of the United States.
1t is the holding in that case that
public officer may be prosecuted and
convicted though his part be simply
negative cooperation in violating the
law.
| am i'll hopes that this action will
not be necessary in this district, but
If investigation discloses situation
justifying such prosecution, it GER
tainly will result in bringing about
more wholesome respect for law,
and for the duties imposed upon
public officers.
Most Counties Enforce Well
AS indicated, there are only few
counties in this district-composcd
of thirty-nine counties-in which en-
forcement is very lax. A large ma
jority of the counties have demon
strated that prosecution of liquor
cases under the state law is possible,
effective and profitable.
In one county in this district, an
appropriation of five hundred dol
lars for enforcement, resulted in the
collection of approximately forty
thousand dollars in fines in one year.
Local Officials Can Enforce
From observation in this district,
it is beyond question that counties
and municipalities can enforce the
liquor laws. 1t needs but the deter
mined will to do and the cooperation
of those upon whom the response
bility Of enforcement lies.

soft drink parlor where Intoxicating
liquor is sold.
The Charge of Conspiracy
1t has been demonstrated that the
property owner and the proprietor
of the soft drink parlor are subject
to indictment for conspiracy. At
this term such an indictment was re-
turned and the defendants entered
pleas of guilty, and heavy fines were
imposed.
Under the charge of conspiracy, in
case of conviction or plea of guilty,
the court may impose fine to the
amount of ten thousand dollars or
may send defendants to the peniten-
tiary for a period of two years, or
may impose both such fine and i'm
prisonment
Thus, every owner whose prop
erty is used in violation of the ma
tional prohibition act is in peril. A
soft drink parlor is, in large per-
centage of cases, a place for the sale
of Intoxicating liquor, and this is
such common knowledge that the
owner of the premises is presumed
to have notice.
There is also a further possibility
of prosecution. In the great ma
jority of cases there are two or more
defendants-usually the proprietor
and bartender or bartenders. In
such cases where there are two or
more involved, these persons are also
subject to Indictment and prescott
ton for conspiracy.
Penalties May be Severe
While it is usually understood
that violation OF the national pro-
hibition act subjects the offender to
fine or Jail sentence, the real fact is
that if two or more are engaged in
such offense, they are subject to
prosecution for conspiracy, which
means that upon conviction or plea
Of guilty, the defendants are subject
to fine of ten thousand dollars or a
penitentiary sentence of two years,
or both.
For some reason, there is a failure
of enforcement i'll some counties in
this district. In fact, there are a
few counties in this district in which
there are more prosecutions of citi-
zens of such counties for violation

The Best Witnesses

The witnesses not having had ex-
perience either i'll obtaining evil
dence, or in testifying do not make
the same impression as those who
have had experience, and in the
great number of cases handled III
this court it is practically impossible
to interview witnesses to obtain
their story, and to get it in con-
nected and effective form.
Usually there are fifteen to twenty
cases set for each day. There are
from three to five or more witnesses
in each case 1t can thus be readily
seen that it is impossible to properly
interview these witnesses before
trial
Then as to special investigators.
These do not make favorable inn
preston, because it usually develops
that they are paid an amount per
day and expenses, and jurors do not
seem to look with favor upon the
testimony of such investigators.
While these are difficulties in
prosecution, on the other hand diff
culties are increasing for the prop
erty owner and the proprietor of the

Experience in the handling of LID
uor cases in the last year, and espe-
cially i'll the last four months, in the

ties of procedure under the national
prohibition act or federal statutes,
as we'll as some difficulties that arise
in prosecution.
Many well-meaning citizens arc
very enthusiastic and quite active III
bringing about prosecutions under
the national prohibition act The
result has been that in a number of
localities in this district, private cit
liens have either undertaken to OBJ
tain evidence, or have employed spe-

Quite a number of cases originat-
ing in this manner have been pre-
scented to the federal court during
the present January term at SPRING

these have been the hardest cases to

rule of cars, the third the period
of the world war and the years since
It's close. OF the early period she
said very little was known. The
Slavs kept their racial characterised
les in spite of the invasion. They
adopted the Greek form of Christ
ianity, a choice which Influenced
their history to considerable ex-
tent. In the second period she began
with Peter the Great. The cars,
she declared worked for three things
