BY COOTS RICHARD MUST ENFORCE THE PROHIBITION LAW Atlanta, Jan. 10.—A greater respect jj'or the law is an urgent need in Atlanta Laid in the rest of the south, according to the court authorities here, both in .the state and the federal courts. Extraordinary efforts were made in many parts of this state, and especially in the larger towns and cities, to curb [the sale of the Yuletide liquors and do away with the many drinking parties that annually debauch the holiday sea¬ son, hut oilicial reports received since the beginning of the new year indicate that the prohibition law was violated in many places, and in innumerable rays. In their eagerness to establish what they are pleased to call their right to drink, many people, according to the court authorities of the state, have cul¬ tivated a contempt for the prohibition law which, it is asserted, is evidently leading to a contempt for all law. The opinion is expressed here that contempt for the law has caused a great ( army of bootleggers to spring up in j Georgia, as well as in other states, and they are reaping a harvest by the re¬ fusal of the citizenship to respect the prohibition law. "Unless laws are enforced, they are worthless,” declares Hon. John A. Boy¬ kin. Mr. Boykin, who is the solicitor general of the Atlanta Circuit and rec¬ ognized as a prosecutor of rare ability, 'is a terror to evil-doers. It will be re¬ called that he worked for many long months driving out from Atlanta the notorious bunco ring, which maintained national headquarters here. “Unless men and women have respect j for the law, and not only obey it them¬ selves, but try to help make others obey it, a law cannot be enforced,” con¬ tinued Mr. Boykin. “Back of every law must be public sentiment and a de¬ sire to be law-abiding. Unfortunately a portion of the public seems to have de¬ veloped a sentiment against law en¬ forcement as it applies to the illegal sale of liquor, and huve lost their de¬ sire to be law-abiding in regard to pro¬ bation. Tlie tendency is dangerous. It is a trend that is leading to the general ignoring of a law that is a part of the Constitution of the nation, and which should be as strictly observed as any law on the statute books.” JUDGE CANDLER SENDS MESSAGE TO METHODISTS To the pastors, church collectors and Methodist members of the North Geor gia Conference: 1 he very best date for us to raise ou i'Christian Education Movement sub-; Sl 't iptions is in the next ten days.
