LOUISVILLE, Decmber 30.—Satis- factory enforcement of the dry law can come only through conjunction of | the process of eeducation, training and experience against alcoholic bev- erages and persistent prosecution of the law's violator istant Seore- tary Moss of the declared here last night in a speech at the an- nual dinner of the Louisville Bar As- soclation Recognizing that ment m omplete enforce- complished onl through “sticking continually at it,” Judge Moss, who has jurisdiction over Pprohibition enforcement, asserted that “meanwhile, the Government is at- tempting to deal with conditions as they are and under laws which are perhaps not idea He added, how- ever, that evidence of good progress was constantly coming to him and he had falth in the future. Judge Moss set forth a long list of the troubles with which the enforce- ment officers are daily confronted. He sald that some of these have been slowly disappearing, but there has always been a new crop to which at- tention must be given immediately. “It must be conceded,” said the Treasury official, “that there is on the part of a large percentage of our population a continuing, insistent demand for the use of intoxicating beverages. Government cannot cor- rect that condition. To the reflective mind it must be immediately ap- parent that this can only be achieved through the process of education, tralning and experience. This is the task for the school, the church and the parent. “Let us assure you that Govern- ment officials are not deceived as to the size of the problem nor as to the difficulties of its solution. But the United States is committed to a policy of national prohibition. It is a fundamental law of the land and it will not. be permitted to fail.” Judge Moss referred to the quick and certain profits in the illegal traf- fic, the difficulties of obtaining con- victions in some communities, the buying off of enforcement agent: “the attitude of certain states towar the law,” the indifference with which the law is treated by thousands “who otherwise are good and patriotic citi- zens,” and the “bold challenge” of citizens of other nations who have populated rum row off the Atlantic Coast. These conditions, he asserted, stirred the “righteous indignation of every patriotic red-blooded American citizen,” and he vouchsafed that they would be obliterated if it can be done under Jaw. Despite the many influences at work, Judge Moss said, he proposed to fight for enforcement of the dry law “with equal vigor and equal im- partiality” as with any other statutey AL.

The couple were. students at. the Bellevue High School, From 1892 until the present time she has been.a Washingtonian. Her record sheet is filled with letters from officials under whom she served, praising her work. The greatest of these tributes, how- ever, is the latest one she received. It comes from the Postmaster General himself. Mr. New refers to “your splendld service as a clerk, beginning in December, 1874, and continuing without interruption over a period of more than 50 years.” “Such service, as employes of your type render day after day,” he con- tinued, “has caused people to consider the work of the Post Office Depart- ment as an activity upon which they can depend utterly. It forms the strength which enables the .postal service to continue as a great human enterprise.” CAR ELUDES POLICEMAN. Smoke Liquor Auto Ends Chase.
