WHO Is REsPoNsIBLE7

I have observed that every bandit
crew that goes forth to murder starts
from a saloon; that every panderer
has his rendezvous in a grog-shop;
that every den of thieves makes its
victims drunk before it robs them ;
that every house of prostitution has Its
bar or is in partnership with booze;
that every gambling den either is in a
saloon or sustains a close relationship
with one; that the pickpocket trust"
is housed in SALOON; that the 'pay-

Nowhere in Europe did I find an

United Staes might be ready to add
effectively to the sum OF pressure on
the Central empires. Perhaps econo.
