A favorite argument of those who ia
vor saloons, and the one they think most
convincing, is that dry territory is over
run with boot-leggers. They fail to note
the number of cases of boot-legging in
the cities since the new license law went
effect limiting the number of saloons. II
the argument is sound reason against
voting the state dry-which it is mott
is equally sound against the licensed sa-
loon. The attempt to limit the number
of saloons and make them more respecta-
BILE has been followed by boot-legging.
Any attempt to curtail the evil of drink
will have to contend with the boot-legger.
The liquor interests, however, are not
now so vociferous about boot-legging
as they were before they got the license
law they howled so long for. They are
reminded once more that the laws against
stealing and murder are not going to be
repealed because stealing and murder,
pine tenths of which is directly or indi-
rectly caused by drink, is still rampant
in the land.
