We further recommend that, if beer halls allowed to continue and danc- ing is allowed therein, in the incorporated cities, that City Councils pass more drastic reg ons governing the sale of liquor and to =+ protect, society from this condition It aring fact, whether we like it or not, that Jiquor played a part in virtually all the cases on which the grand jury acted at this term. Also, the jury indictments showed a preponderance of vice cases statuatory offenses involving young girls and women in which excessive drinking invariably figured » In view of such evidence and the report of the @fand jury, the members of which actually heard all thte cvidence, it is obvious that the jury’s recommen- dation is something more than a passing report to %’qlm'k]'\ forgotten. It is a very definite warning that it is time to do a little tightening up on liquor W enforcement in the Territory #- When the jury, in urging greater vigilance on the pArt of law enforcement agencies, recommended “pro- seeution of licensee violators” it is fairly strong proof that the jurors had evidence that led them to believe that actual violations were being made. There can be no alibi for that condition, fiéss to law-abiding liquor handlers as well as society Apgeneral, violations in this Territory should not be allowed to exist, and it is up to law enforcement a'enclefl to heed the grand jury’s recommendation and “pass more drastic regulations the existing ones are not sufficient.

Afte as always is the majority of the vote. New York newspapers yesterday, following the La Guardia election, were predicting that labor would hold the balance of power in future elections. Perhaps, but it cannot be overlooked that labor as termed poli- tically is only a small bloc of voters who happen to be affiliated these days with either CIO or AFL. There isn't such a thing as a labor vote that aj~ one can definitely place, except in extreme cases where a labor issue t stake, Last year labor forces threw their support to President Roosevelt, but so did the voters of all but two states in the union, A few years ago some politicians became highly alarmed about the solid war veteran’s vote. Con- ressional aspirants shuddered every time some one mentioned veterans' But it developed that there was no such thing as a solid bloc of veterans’ votes. The veterans were shown to be just a large American citizens with individual political opposition group of viewpoints. The same is true of labor. Its forces are made up of individuals with their own political ideas. They get together occasionally at the polls issue at s But the idea that national election in this etched. Like most of us, thus how are and do can a labor dominate any fe among themselves, an country is a little too can’t together ng to vote solidly in a national election with they they its scores of complex angles?
