He presents beautifully coored pictures showing how the

Meanwhile let us turn two ladies printed here side by

They point to two separate and important morals
The Washington times., 1931-01-10
Prohibition EnfOrcementand
Washington Police Force

Throughout this country American mayors desparng
finding policemen who will strictly enforce laws that
not respected obeyed by citizens themselves -
This is particularly true to squads which quickly
become contaminated by tempting offers from bootleg
bosses and enforcement because public sentiment
itself is lax Their work is less in accordance with
local atmosphere
Police reorganized vice squads changed but
under the domination of political bosses and lack Of care on
the part of the public fall into the habits OF
the old The morale of policemen, where booteggg
and its associated vices are concerned drops to low OO
In the face these grave facts known to every city Of
size the country, proposed by Senator Howell ana
others to pass for the District of Columbia drastic pro-
hbton that will compel every policeman here to become
an enforcement agent and snooper lose his position
It is probable that bill will not be sanctioned by Con-
gress this session. but if it is passed should not contain
that part that will subject all OF our pocemn 10 tne O"Se
temptations of graft and corruption.
We now have vice squad that does good work in CO.
operation with Federal enforcement agents. ac does ABOUT
the most effective work in the United States That vice
squad is sufficient contribution by the people Of Washington
to prohibition enforcement.

ONCE-OVERS

There are some workers who
think that all an executive or
corporation head does is TO
lake in the money and go OUT
after more.
They work with their hands
and criticise from the manual
labor stand.
Accustomed to taking orders,
and weary from hard physical
work, the man who does not
get physically tired with his
work looks to them as If he
did not work at all.
To sit all or part of @ day IN
an office is considered pretty
soft.
For some of the white col
Jared army it is softer than
others.
But there is always two sides
to a story.
In the first place there would
not be any work to do if there
were not men who thought out
the idea back Of a factory or
big corporation.
They could not have con-
ceived of such an undertaking
in all its parts if they had
been engaged all the time with
manual labor.
It is too much to expect
brain and hands to work
equally hard at the same time.
Heads have to know and plan
and some must do the work
planned.
When profits are known to
be great the common laborer
thinks only Of the amount and
not of the fact that 1t must
be saved for expansion to put
more men to work.

A Mother Protests
Filthy Shows

Editor, Times:
I want to congratulate you on
the stand that you have taken
with regard to lewd shows etc.
If the editor of every paper
followed your lead mothers
would not find it half so hard
to keep their daughters pure
minded.
It is impossible to make in
nocent girls see the cnormity
of smut, when dainty little
misses cavort over The stage
half naked, just to get a laugh
from ignorant boys and wicked
men.
Why can't this thing be
stopped? I know a hundred
mothers, personally, who, while
attending such shows, decry the
insertion of such filth, that
makes them feel that they are
doing wrong by going to such
places, and what a deprivation
to have to stay away all the
time. There is a man in a
show today whose en5ire act
is smut from beginning to end,
and because he gets a loud clap
from a few immature boys, he
has a satisfied smirk that his
act has gone over wonderfully,
and hove no doubt that there
were dozens of clean-minded
people in the audience who
would have loved to have slap
ped his face. A MOTHER,

Criticises Voters Who
Do Not Vote
Editor, Times:
I am a Democrat, but as I
live in Washington, I do not
vote. My mother is from Ala
bama. She can, but won't, vote.
She says, What good will my
one vote do?" That is the
attitude taken by too many OF
our voters.
They all say, "You can't buck
the Government single-handed."
They tell me I am fanat1cal.
Being Democrat, and a Cath
olic, I was naturally pulling for
AL Smith in the 1928 election.
On my own street there were
IL persons, registered in either
Maryland or Virginia, who
wouldn't take the trouble to
vote. Why can't these people
realize that it is slackers-too
lazy to vote-who are sending
our old U. S. A. to the dogs.
