Show I DEMAND RESPECT FOR THE LAW. One serlouB -weakness to prohibition in Utah is the attitude of Salt Lake City. Ogdenites, -who have been in the capital o late, state that liquor is to be found everywhere. A day last week a visitor in that city as offered whiskey on two occasions oc-casions and he encountered two intoxicated intoxi-cated men In one hotel. One excuse offered is that the capital, capi-tal, as a tourist center, must cater to those who demand strong drink. If Salt Lake will not put its house in order, Utah as a whole must pro: ceed to do so. There is work for the next legislature legisla-ture in this disregard of a law which u ti tVirmcjnnrl fnmilips from I The prohibition law must not be nl- i lowed to become a farce through a , failure to enforce the measure. Utah would be stupidly unwise to be neither "dry" nor "wet." There is no middle gTouhd, from a moral or & j financial standpoint. If the state is ; not whole-heartedly in favor of bclug "dry" and is Inclined to wink at Salt , Lake's infractions, it should reverse ; itself, and get back in the list of "black" states. |
