Real Prohibition A Possibility. With the: federal government ac tive as it was not during the prohL bition period in suppressing block ade- liquor manufacture, and with a list of licensed makers or dealers available to the State authorities, prohibition in a real sense becomes within the range of practicability in North Carolina. The, federal agents will get the manufacturers who have paid no license or liquor tax, while it becomes the simple duty of the state officials to break up the manufacture and sales pro tected against federal drives by U. S. license. As the list of licenses is available, it is apparent that State officials have their men already spotted and need only to secure the proof of operation. How well the federal officers, under the direction of H. G. Gulley, of Raleigh, are doing their work, note the listings in Mr. Gulley s re cent report: Distilleries seized during year, 1,005; Liquor captured, 27,849 gallons; ' Mash captured, 493,519 gallons, enough to make 149,352 gallons of whiskey. , ........ Automobiles seized, 123; Men arrested, 785; . - . Men prosecuted, 1,120; Sentences imposed, 116,731 days arid $46,116 of fines. . . ; With the federal raiders thus acr tive, if the legislature the next ses sion will pa$s laws . strengthening the arm .of state enforcement it should be orily a few years before a man will consider it futile do at tempt to violate the prohibition law. The one great need right now is a law requiring dealers in ma- , terials used in the making of liquor to report time, quantity, and buy er of sugar, bran, malt, still ma terials, etc. When those sales data are in hand, it should be all the easier to spot the federal licensee who. is active in the manufacture of the poison And it may be that the reports of sucn sales in the hands of federal officials are avail able to State officials now. If so, they should make constant use of them. - v Danaoss Timep Et Ferentes Dona.
