Loe Angeles. Seattle. Portland. Chicago Detroit, New York LAW ALONE CAN'T CUKE . , 4 . Back about 15 years aro the people of the United States got fed up with the insolent jrieed of the liquor traffic and decided to fix things by passing a law the 18th amend ment. In the succeeding decade they learned, to their pained surprise, that passing a law was not, in itself, quite enough. Now, just as if thev hadn't learned the lesson once, they seem to be studying it all over again. Just as they got fed up with the legal liquor traffic lie fore 1920, they got fed up with the illegal one before 1933. So they tried the same old remedy; they passed a law. Oddly enough, they're finding out exactly what they found out once before. The prohibition amendment failed to solve the liquor problem; l'epeal likewise is failing to solve it. In each case, the primary difficulty seems to be that old as sumption that the battle is won once you get the right kind of law on the statute books. Senator Borah leveled a terrific indictment against liquor conditions under repeal, in his speech on the senate floor the other day. But no citizen who. goes places and keeps his eyes and ears open need have been surprised by what Senator Borah said. The facts nre notorious. Bootlegging has not been wiped out, sales to minora have not ceased, the pledge to keep the old-time saloon from return ing haa not been kept. When the final states were ratifying repeal of the amendment. It was a common wisecrack to say that "repeal la a good law If they can Just enforce It." Just why that should have been taken as a wisecrack Is not quite clear; our experience with tile amendment luelf ought to have shown us that It was nothing lesa than a plain statement of an obvious truth. So far. our effort to enforce upon the liquor trade the kind of standards we talked about when repeal was pending la hardly visible to the naked eye. Until such elfort Is made In an honest and energetic manner, we have no right to be surprised by abuses which are developing under repeal. Wo ought to know by this time that passing a law la only a first step In any reform. And now they are talking of Installing loud speaker In the house of representatives. And all the time we thought more than 400 of them were Insulted there already. Caldwell, Ida. Tribune. The "New Dealers" will best serve this country If they will remedy and make better that which we have rather than attempt to Invent something entirely different which they think MIOHT be better. Ro&eburg News Review. In the early days of baseball they played with a hard ball and bare hands. Then they softened things by Inventing baseball gloves to cover the baro hands. Now the latest outburst of popularity Is for baseball with even the ball &ofumed. Let us hope these are not signs we are degenerat ing Into a race of "softies." Astoria Astorlan-Eudet.
