Enforcement in Detroit.
(New York World. ]


 Detroit, according to the Federal prohibition officers is being rapidly dried up. Commissioner Dorans bureau boasts that last year it's efforts combined with those of the customs and coast guard officers resulted in liquor seizures valued at $4,0OO,000. Since the beginning of 1928 the forces guarding the river and city have been heavily strengthened. The Federal Prohibition Administrator for Michigan. Thomas E. Stone, points to the arrests in the last ten months of 2,O71 bootleggers, the seizure of 325 900 gallons or mash, 900 quarts of whiskey and nearly 100000 pns of beer, and the confscation of 327 automobiles.
 This is an impressive record of activities-on paper. But does any Detroter with his eyes open believe that it means Detroit is getting dryer? The Detroit Free Press remarks that citizens will smile these statistical con- quests The number of blind pigs stills and preweres does not appear to be diminishing in lproportion, it says. "The liquor supply Whether smuggled in from Canada or made on this side) seems to be holding out satisfactorily to every Dody concerned, which means the bootleppers the bnd-pig operators and their patrons" In 1act, the Free Press cruelty asserts that while the Federal staff in the city has quintupled .the bootleg industry seems to be expanding even faster than the forces which the Government IS able to put in the field.
 Drying up Detroit is evidently very much like drying up Broadway it is good for political pur- poses and spectacular publicity, but it's practical value approaches The paucity of results may teach Washington something about the scope of the enforcement problem.

THIS IS FAIR WEEK.

This is Fair Week in Juneau. The seventh annual Fair to be given by the Southeastern Alaska Fair Association will be open next We'd nesday and remain open for the rest of the week Information from nearby towns in that there Will be lot of visitors to arrive between now and the opening, and the prospects seem good for large attendance, and that is what counts for the success of a Fair.
 Juneau can make the seventh annual Fair the best of all the Fairs that we have had if her residents will attend it in great enough numbers She ought for her sake turn out as nearly 100 per cent as possible. That is all the more a duty because the management promises that those who attend will get their moneys worth in exhibits and in entertainment and amuse- ment.
 There should be a good attendance at the Fair from the beginning. The carnival spirit should be developed early, and then it will be easy to make it go until Saturday night

jectives by affirmations that conform to no definition of morality or religion acceptable to honest men.
 l quote sentence from a blast coming from the Norfolk, Va, Vir- ginian Pilot one of the strongest of Southern newspapers, which has been giving a good deal of attention to the campaign of islander for which many Southern pastors are responsible: Let us all pray to be saved from the nor ality in whose name the good repute of men is bestunk with criminal libel. and from the kind of religion that thriyes on misstatement of fact and misrepresenta- tion of motive.'
 A few more Heflins and few more Southern pastors of the kind mentioned, and Smith may be elected He will carry the South. and this abuse may give him so many independent votes in the North as to make the task of the Republicans much more difficult than it would beotherwse. It is a frank ad- mission of the ignorance and gullibility of Southern people when religious lead CTS there indulge in statements of this kind I doubt whether much of it will be heard. except in whispers, in the in telligent centers of the North
 It carries it's own refutation; it will break down because of it's gross falsity. There is room for honest differences of opinion as to Smith because of his avowed wetness: many will strain point and honestly oppose him because of his loyalty to Tammany; the bigots will be honest with themselves in op- posing him because of his religion. But he cannot be beaten by slander
 He comes to his Presidential candi- dacy with clean hands, the record of an upright life, phenomenal capacity for public service and the overwhelming sup port of the voters of New York State many of them Protestants and Republi- cans-who know him better thany any body else Here is the most sophis- ticated of all the States; if Smith were a false alarm and did not ring true at all points 1t would know it. and long ago would have acted accordingly.
 Back of prohibition, sTammany Hall and the other pro forma anti-Smith arguments is religion. The backbone of the recent Asheville conference was ec- clesiastical; the conference appeal will be to Southern voters who take their cues from their pastors. Many of Smiths supporters had hoped religion would be brought out into the open but the Southern pastors were too wise to do that. If it had been, his election would De almost certain. for the great body or enlightened Professionalism would not swing in behind it's intolerant leader ship.
