III Buena Vista the situation. Is crit
ical one Since the institution of prohl-
ibition plenty OF liquor has been brought
into the city. and In several instances
has been freely sold. We see no reason
mot 3to@belepe that 1t Is now being sold.
sIt3 lis no uncommon thing to see men
drunk and men with bottles on their per-
sons on Sunday, as we'll - on other days.
From our point of view. the prohibition
that prevails In this city Ia a fallacy or
3"n,ake- believe'--a blind. 1T is a sham and
a nroducer, Of sneaks, liars and hypocrites.
Tho prohibition that prevails here Is send
ing more men y In this city to hell than
ANYTHING we know of. 55sEs * 5tf.SS itftt5
