Alabama's Prohibition Law.

In it's new prohibition law just

bama has about gone the linz
it. 1t makes witnesses testify in
liquor cases on pain of being
attached for contempt; it makes
the mere possession of liquors
anywhere else than in a mans
residence a criminal offence: it
holds responsible for any injury
done one by drunken man the
man who sold the whiskey to
the offender; it allows officers to
raid any building where it is
even suspected that liquor is
sold; it prohibits newspapers
from printing whiskey adver-
tisements; it compels all corpora
tons taking out charters to sign
a pledgesthat they will not violate
the prohibition law. It seems to
stop up every possible loophole.
