It is hard to i magi no who would bo interested in know
ing that the cantor bean crop this year has. broken all
records. .
No ono is foolish enough (or shouldn't be) to think that
any one crop or any one line of agricultural development
is the only one by which this valley caii prosper. It is
easy to llnd an apple grower who contends that apple grow
ing here is a failure, or one who says it is a great success.
Then there are potato producers who prove that It is a
great money-maker and others who argue against such
specializing foolishness. And you come in daily contact
with men who urge more alfalfa and more sheep for Union
, county ranges, and others who believe fundamentally in the
value of wheat as a major crop to the exclusion of every-
, thing else. Points of view are as numerous as the varieties
of human nature, and all have merit.( The Grande Ronde
Ronde valley is adapted to all of these activities. Prosperity
can best bo made permanent by a sufficient variety to al-
.j low utilization of the proper land for the propel" purpose.
rTho valley is huge enough to permit this and still gain

C WHAT THE PUBLIC WANTS,
;" The convention of the Anti-Suloon League in Chicago
1ms been the occasion of much talk and speculation about
enforcement of the prohibition law and the progress that
ghas been made in this country toward curbing liquor viola
tion. Replying to statements made elsewhere questioning
"the sincerity of public officials in enforcing the law, Mr.
Andrews, in charge of enforcement machinery, made the
following statement: "I question judgment and taste of any
v person who would believe that any United States army
officer of 30 years' service who has taken the oath to sup
port the constitution is not going to continue to play the
i-gamc. I would like to meet anyone who is more sincere
mid more in earnest about enforcement of the prohibition
rlaw than I am.
:,r "Tho prohibition law is being enforced hero in Chicago
rand I believe this can lie done likewise in any community
'where the judiciary cooperates. Strengthen the judicial ma
M'hinery so that punishment is prompt and sure. This I
regard as the key to the situation today."
; The Observer agives with Mr. Andrews that prompt
,mt sure punishment is a very effective means of curbing
.'violation and we mean real punishment but tho chief
-problem is one or public sentiment, after all, whether tho
J violation is lime in I,a Orande or in Chicago. Strict law
enforcement of many laws, liquor and others, is possible
' but is never secured in any community until the citizens
.of that community show a serious interest in that enforce
T inont until they demand it, as a matter of fact. In La
Grande we do not have strict law enforcement because too
.many of our citizens arc not in favor of it, or do not con
cern themselves with it sufficiently to see that it is a
reality. In Philadelphia General Cutler has had a most
difficult time and has found enforcement almost impossible '
because the citizens he sought to protect simply didn't I
want the law enforced. Grand juries failed to find true I
bills in that city in the face of an avalanche of evidence j
i.nd explained their action to the court by saying that mem-'
bers of the jury did not believe in the law. Wherever such j
a public opinion exists, in greater or less degree, law viola
tion will continue. ' Mr. Andrews and prohibition agents I
may worn themselves to shadows, and other officers may
do likewise, but without the backing of a representative
public and without a demand on the part of a majority of
good citizens that law enforcement be real without that
their work will fail. Law enforcement, in the last analysis,
is h problem for good citizenship to solve.
