He does not bate but loves the sinner
folk. He came from neaven to earth,
a great missionary; to tell folks tt at
God lo-res everybody. Then He sent
out his followers to tell tbe same
words. This Is a Christian's job to
say: God loves you. He taught tbat

Conflicting and . Duplicated
Officials Consolidated— \
Friends Law in Action
A program ot more eonoerted cooperation between' federal otfioials
and local enforcement agencies ia
planned for tfie coming yea**. Federal
Prohibition Commissioner , B. A.
Haynes advises Director Davis of
tbis state.  " - --
Section II of tb/» enforcement ant
divides the responslbilty between tbe
government and' the states. Practically all of the states have enacted
legislation to this end and tbe various state agencies report t net-easing
evidence of co-operation. '
Commissioner Haynes say* tbat
every state, oonnty and city haaltbe
Initial responsibility of cleaning np
it* own condition* through locally
selected officials, before the federal
machinery should be expected to take
charge. Hence, tbe necessary of
oloee co-operation between tbe state* ,
and federal agencies. -
Director Davia is greatly pleased
with tbe progress that bas- been
made In enforcement In this state and
I* most optimistic In regards ho tbe
future, In view of the spirit of cooperation, In evidence praetloally
everywhere. More and more I* the
public becoming eonvineed that tbe
success of enforcement lies aa much /
with tbe peop'e Themselves as witb
tbe officers who are designated to enforce tne law. in spite of obstacle*
and many complications, prohibition
is showing itself as a means of pronounced pnblfc betterment, of improved living conditions, and healthier, bsppler human beings. There'1*.
evidence everywhere of marked .
progress in tbe way of enforcement.
Tbis is not tbe time to be impatient
nor discouraged, for tbe friends of
the law are truly In action* as shown
by report* wbiob Commissioner
Haynes bas received from tbe various
states, justifying tbe optimism which
he entertains- '
Reducing    tbe    source  of supply,
cbrougb  concentration,  in  Commissioner Haynes' opinion,   will aid materially in enforcement and also make -
for economy, for, as be says, economy
has been tbe watchword for the  administration .    Concentration of bonded wbtskey in a  smaller  number of
bonded warehouses will result in tbe
saving of at least S300,000 per annum.
A saving of S35O.000 has been effected
through reductions secured  in rental
of office and  storage  space and  tbe
disposition  of   seised    property.     A
further  saving  of   S 156,900  annually
has been effected by   tbe readjusting;
ot salaries.
Beferrlng to the cry tbat prohibition is a "failure", Commissioner
Haynes says tbat in his Judgment,
one of the most remarkable successee
ever attained io tbe enforcement of a
new and drastic law bas been recorded In tbe present status of enforcement of tbe National Prohibition Act.
