Now That the Legislature Has Adjourned

We have just passed through of the intense
legislative sessions have had for the past fifteen
years The Weber-O' Grady bill repeating all dry laws
the statute books, passed in the House. defeated in
the Senate. Three other bills of like nature were also
defeated in the Senate resolution calling for
stutional convention to repeal the Eighteenth Amend
ment passed in the House. defeated in the Senate.
Splendid committee work was responsible for killing
several dangerous bills The League has made splen-
did showing with tactul management and diigent
application.
The Fifty-ffth General Assembly is ended But to
the League it is the beginning OF aggressive fight
A fight calling the churches to action to get in the
game to make the next General Assembly dry
When the Church was ready put her strength back
of the movement to outlaw the liquor traffic. it
done The Church has furnished the leadership for this
contest, likewise it must furnish the leadership ITO pre-

Liquor Law Violations at Races, Carnivals
and Similar Celebrations

The Legal Department of the Anti-Saloon League
quite often receives requests help in enforcement of
the Prohibition law in connection with races, fairs, and
carnvals where unless properly poced enforcement is
difficult and many times spreads its contamination in
the city village which happens to be the site of the
celebration.
Federal help is usually requested in these communi-
ties 1t is impossible for the federal government to po-
lice the large number of carnivals fairs and sim
liar celebrations throughout the state We feel called
upon to suggest that citizens who fear that there will be
laxty in the enforcement of liquor laws any such eel
ebration should some weeks in advance of the opening
date take up the question OF proper policing with the
local and county officials
The fact is, through the appointment of special Of
fcers with the powers that be given, not only can
liquor law violations be cared for but also gambling
and other evils be reached
While there may be occasional exception, generally
speaking the question of the properly policing of cele-
braons like those above referred to, demands local
and not necessarily federal attention.
However, we will be glad to assist in getting fed
eral relief when that to be the only effective rem

Now comes professor to tell that should not

and private citizens organizations admonish the great

duties.
Pretty much everybody, therefore, has taken it for
granted that all of who American citizens, ought
to vote whenever there is opportunity. We are not

Several inquiries come mind when

Race Track Gambling Bill

While fighting booze is the job OF the Ant-Saloon
League and big enough job it is at that cannot
fran from publishing the following letter which sent
to certain member of the Legislature regarding the
Race Track Gambling bill.
The argument of the letter is conclusive and the
spirit in which it is written is admirable, that we
want all our readers to have the benefit OF it.
AS long as we have business men who cherish such
ideals and can express them forceully we need
not despair.
