"Nothing has proved more poignant
spur for Statewide prohibition in the past
than the lax or non enforcement Of prohi-
bition laws" says a correspondent of the
Shreveport Times. True. BY their brazen
defiance of prohibition laws the whiskyites
are slowly but surely working their own
undoing. The good people of Louisiana
will not always submit to the bullying of
the whisky devil.
