The destruction of the saloon
means business for the bootlegger,
brisk, paying business. He is in
his glory while the saloonkeeper or
the jointlst are in hiding. He -four
ishes in dark Railways, in back al
leys. in livery stables where access
is easy by the alleyway. He spots
his victim as easy as the hunter
marks his bird, and only wink is
necessary to land him. He is
shrewd, usually, too, and hard to
catch. He has base of supplies
somewhere, moving it as often as
necessary, and if caught red-handed
he has only small bottle for his
own use out of which he was giving
a friend a drink, not for pay, but
merely as an accommodation to
man with thirst. He is foxy, and
he knows at every minute of the day
the precise location of every police
man in town. Practically he is i'm
mune from arrest. 1t is only when
some poor victim gives him away to
the officers that he ever gets into
trouble. He flourishes only where
the saloon is unknown, but, in order
to make up for time and place lost,
he fouri shes only there. He is in
every town of more than a hundred
people in Kansas to-day. His mis-
sion is to quench thirst at ten cents
per quench, and, while the saloon
may come and go, may thrive and
be smashed, he rejoices only in its
downfall, and labors for its destruc-
ton, knowing that when it is gone,
his business will be like unto that of
the wheat buyer at harvest or the
peanut man at a circus.-Lawrence
