TALK ON STATE
LIQUOR LAWS
p. S. dupont, Delaware State
Liquor Commissioner, Gives
Views on Legislation
AT WILMINGTON ROTARY

Limited Sunday liquor sales, ex-
tension of the hours of liquor
place on week days, abolition of
the 81 personal license, and lower
taxes for low grade whiskeys to
meet the purse of the small salar-
led man, were among the thoughts
advanced by Pierre S. DUPONT, State
Liquor Commissioner, at the lunch
con meeting of the Rotary Club in
the Hotel DUPONT Thursday. This
is the first public views expressed
by Mr.. DUPONT on the post-Prohi-
bition era. What he had to say on
repeal and post-Prohibition condi-
tions was heard by large number
of men in law enforcement and
public safety agencies of the State.
About Sunday selling, Mr.. DUPONT
said that licenses, including the
right to sell on the Sabbath, might
be issued in certain localities but
remain forbidden in others. Mr..
DUPONT, in connection also with
Sunday selling, ventured the
thought that the dangers of Satur-
day selling, if any, are about equal
to those of Sunday, but he doubted
if there would be any material sup
port to plan to forbid retail sales
on both Saturday and Sunday. Mr..
dupont did not advance his views
dogmatically. He frankly said the
State Liquor Commission should
not undertake to settle definitely a
question so close to personal pref
erence, as Sunday selling. 1t was
a matter for the people to decide
and recommend to the Legislature
As for lengthening the hours Of
selling on weekdays, Mr.. DUPONT
admitted there was some justifica-
ton for the desire to keep open un-

HEADS SCHOOL

c. E. Douglass, of Baltimore,
Nd, Began Work in Della
ware on Thursday
SUCCEEDS IRA S.GRINSER

The appointment of Carleton E.
ouglass, go years old, of Baltimore,
Md, as superintendent of the pub
lie schools at Newark, to succeed
Ira S. Brinser, who has been head
of the public schools there for the
past eight years, was announced
last week by Robert S. Gallaher,
president of the board. Mr.. Doug
lass arrived at Newark, Thursday
to take up his work. He is a grad
uate of the University of Chicago
and received his doctors degree at
Columbia University. He has had
wide reaching experience. He
was an instructor at the Univer-
sity of Maryland the past year.
He has Travelled extensively, hav-
ing made six trips abroad on each
of which he has studied. He has
done extension work for the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh, Johns Hop
kins and the University of Mary
land. During the past year he
was president of the National Pla-
toon School organization. He was
superintendent of schools in the
vicinity of Chicago for four years
At one time he was superintendent
of Erie, Pa, schools. For II years
prior to last year he was assistant
superintendent of schools of Balti-
more. He directed courses of study
which have received high commen-
dation from educators throughout
the country. He comes to Newark
very highly recommended. He is
married and the father of two sons
and one daughter.

til l or o'clock. His philosophy on
longer hours and Sunday selling
was that secret and illegal selling
of liquors on Sundays and after
hours is certainly not wholesome
procedure and what must be done
should be permitted openly. Mr..
DUPONT recognized that the ser
vice of the bootlegger is still avail
able where the law fails to provide.
He believes the tax on beer might
be reduced and very low tax
might be provided for cheaper
grade whiskeys. 'Those who desire
to drink alcoholic liquor are able
to satisfy their tastes in illegal
manner under restrictions. On the
other hand, anti-prohibitionists as
a body do not seem particularly
concerned over the proper enforce
ment of the law. There seems to
be little doubt tht indiscretions in
the form of improper importation
without license, of purchase with
out license, of purchase of liquor
on Sundays, and of other evasions
of the law still continue in greater
or lesser degree. This development
may be a natural process. Our
citizens are concerned little with
the success of law enforcement
where their own property and in
terests are not involved. A liquor
control act to be successful must
meet the wishes and desires of
those who intend to consume alco-
holic liquor. Those who are not
consumers have little personal in
tereSt save where the indiscretions
of others at times ruffle the temper
or intrude upon their rights. Of
course, the more evangelically in
clined body of citizens, whether
they be prohibitionists or idealists
concerning liquor control, are al
ways active but their activities do
not have much effect except at
times of election or proposed
change of law. The problem of
liquor control is the problem of
satisfying those who desire to
drink and of establishing control
of the liquor traffic at point
where violations of the proprieties
do not become intolerable.
