Cut Off supply.

81 have become convinced that thePe
IS only one way to uproot the blind
| tiger evil, and that is to out off the
source of supply The liquor law re-
recently enacted by the legislature
seeks to do this, and TO the extent
that it does so it is effective as | am
informed; and for the reason that
it cuts off the source of the supply
I believe it is the most effective liquor
law that has been passed.
"Prior to the enactment of this stat
ute, it made no difference how much
Intoxicating liquors a man might have
/ ON hand, though he was known as a
| confirmed tiger, and though every one
was morally certain that he had the
quantities of liquor for illegal sale,
still the authorities were powerless.
The present law cures this defect. 1t
limits the amount of intoxicating Ii
quor that any person may have and
for this reason permits the authorities
to seize the excessive quantities and
| punish those who have it.
'By this method of restricting the
supply the law is made effective.
| Il hope that I am not fanatical
about any subject, but | have seen so
much of the evil, crime and suffering
/ produced by the blind tiger traffic
that | feel that the greatest single
blessing that can come to the people
/ SO far as human well-being is con-
cerned is to get rid of blind tigers.
If this can be done the prison popula-
! tion will be practically done away with,
! because the man who gets in trouble
in Mississippi as rule is not profess
sional criminal but very good man
ordinarily, who, when poisoned with
blind tiger whiskey, commits crime
which he would not think of doing
were he sober"
