Pursuit of Criminals
Editorial Is Approved

To the Editor Of The Star:
l commend you on your editorial
backing up the police, in disregard
of senatorial and other efforts, at
bullying local authorities.
1t is deplorable that after taking
oaths to support the Constitution, ETC.,
and to endeavor to uphold justice I'M
der the law, public officials and learn
ed counsel" should give such strong
backing to the bootlegger and otf1er
lawless elements Of our population, by
word and legal effort.
The time may come. and perhaps
sooner than expected, when wild driv-
ers will be regarded as free-for-all
targets, just like mad dogs, and per-
sons who encourage bandits, bootleg
gers and the like grace the gallows
with those to whom they nave given
mischievous encouragement, as acces-
sories before or after the act.
w. E. ALLEN.
To the Editor of The Star:
I want to commend the editorial in
The Evening Star on 1.-The Pursuit of
Criminals" 1t is timely and right to
the point. and absolutely true that
disrespect for law and the magnitude
Of the bootlegging evil are partly due
to the attitude and influence of prom
inent people, who denounce pI Ohibi-
ton and it's enforcement.
Their attitude is an encouragement
to the bootlegger and a suggestion to
the young that drinking is smart and
necessary to a full enjoyment of their
personal liberty. w. B. DYE.
To the Editor of The Star:
Allow me to say a word OF hearty
commentator concerning your excel
lent editorial, 1.-The Pursuit Of Crini-
nails" in the issue for July %.
You do well to place the RESPONSE
bility for the death of innocent per-
sons, when the police are in pursuit
of criminals. where that responsibility
by right belongs. at rests" you say,
mot upon the officers of the law
but upon the bootleggers
themselves, who. in defiance of the
law, try to smuggle cargoes of liquor
into Washington or other cities. 1t
rests, in part, upon those who by
their acts and words justify this traf-
fic as legitimate laWbreaking."
The merciful way in which to deal
with these offenders when app:ehon1-
ed is not to let them off easy, but to
administer such extensive and thor
ough punishment as shall deter them
from repeating their offenses. The
hot scorn Of a righteously indigna Mt
public sentiment is cool enough treat
ment for sympathiZers with the boot
logger outlaw. Such punishment and
treatment of guilty parties will, in the
long run, prove to be the most effec-
tive protection for the innocent by
stander. LUTHER K. LONG.

The word choose" is being scruti-

DOCTORS say, Drink Three
- Pints OF Water q Day" This
is most important. For water is q
primary source of health when
consumed in these quantities
daily.
But drinking water should first
satisfy three health tests. First,
it must be pure. Second, it must
contain mineraIs-from 6 to 10
grains to the gallon. And third,
It must be pleasant to taste. Any
water that will satisfy these three
requirements is good for you to
drink. And any water that will
rot satisfy these requirements is
below par for drinking purposes.
