THE CHIEF'S DRIVE TO DRY UP CITY Under the federal prohibition | law enforcement thereof is largely | lett to civic and state officials, the | federal enforcement officials con- centrating their efforts largely in the big citles. Although Connecti- cut from the first was lukewarm toward the 18th amendment and the Volstead act, the latter never- theless impinges a certain total of | enforcement duties upon the state's officials, both state and municipal, | how much or how little depending largely upon local and official sentiment. It can scarcely be denied that in some citles of the state the dry law has been less strictly enforced than in others; and this has not | been due so much to the attitude of officials toward the law as the conditions with which they were confronted. The dry law is much harder to enforce in some cities than in others. New Britain hap- pens to be one of the cities, it is sald, where it is more difficult to enforce than In some others of the state’s cities. The announced warfare against | demon rum instituted by Chiet of Police Hart, therefore, will be watched with much the same in- terest that spectators yleld to a sporting event. There is, indeed, some element of chance in’ the ef- fort of the embattled police to wreck the business of the “booze | joints,” as the headline writer | pungently described the places where liquor Is supposed to be sold. The large scale upon which the announcement of the drive was made in ftself will be a great ald to the police in “drying up” the city — at least, for the present. The llquor-seller Who would throw caution to the winds after reading | of the designs of the police would be courageous indeed.

If the police are actually intending to keep up this pressure then the | conditions throughout some parts of the city are sure to change at least slightly. The psychology of the situation has been altogether in favor of | tightening the screws somewhere; this much can be admitted without belng for or against the campalgn of dry cleaning. It can be said dis- passionately and with some degree of truth that a good many of those who have been driving automobliles while intoxicated have had some- thing to do with the new dispen- sation.
