Salisbury, Oct. IS.-
-A cheer
ful word was addressed to prohi
bition law violators in federal
court here today by Judge John
son J. Hayes, who said he would
place on probation all such pris-
Eh oners except “hardened crimin
als’’ coming before him.
Holding that the Ameqlcan
people “have already decided
'That they wish to repeal the 18th
amendment,” the Judge set forth
the theory that “the courts
should be responsive to public
opinion.”
The judge said he was "among
those who do not think it to the
beat interest of our children to
have alcoholic beverages sold like
gasoline at public places’’ and
expressed tjie opinion that citi-
aens “seeing plenty of liquor
under repeal and witnessing ex
amples of drunken sots will ex
ercise temp\.rance and
trol.”

umn November 7
He pointed out that the han- j
ling of liquor “after repeal will |
be a matter for the individual j
states but enforcement of any dry i
laws will fall upon the taxpayers j
of the states and, no doubt, mean ;
an increase in taxation." j
Referring to the offenders who
may come 'oefore him at the |
term of court he opened today,
he said in his charge to the Jury
that “I do not see how anyone
could have the heart to sentence
a person to six months in Jail or j
a year in penitentiary tor a crime I
which is already evident against I
the popular will. Before they
finished serving their terms the
law would be repealed.
“Of course, I do not mean to
