Show JAIL THEM. Several men have been nrrestcd here or' late on a charge of selling intoxicants to soldiers in uniform. This is a federal fed-eral offense, and, as tho arrests were mado by government agents, it will doubtless go hard with the offenders if they are found guilty. Should they happen to escape conviction in tho federal fed-eral court the state will have a chance ftt them for having the liquor in their OFses?ion and diKposin of the same to civilians, and if the charge is substantiated substan-tiated they should be given the limit. The soldier boys up on the bench, east, lory, are splendid specimens of manhood. man-hood. A great majority of them look like total abstainers, and few, very few, have the appearance of ever having been dissipated, What a shame it would be to wreck the lives of such stalwart youths with liquor, and it would be an everlasting disgrace should they be started on a downward career in the prohibition state of Utah. Tt -would be an equally bad thing for those not in the frrvk'e to get off wrong in the morning of life, and we hope that the vigilance of the federal and state of fieials will he redoubled and that everv law-breaking bootlegger will get caught and' be punished to the very last letter of the law. |
