One That Closed
Vice DenS

The closing of barrooms in Harris-
burg by federal agents is a posi-
bility that presented itself to-day
The increasing practice of bootleg
ging which is giving the local police
much trouble and the point blank
refusal of many saloonkeepers to
cooperate was said to be bringing
the drastic issue to a point.
The threatened use of provost
guards in Philadelphia and the inn
mediate taking of action there hav-
ing for its purpose the revocation
of licens- IS as a measure to break
up bootlegSing in that city, are caus-
ing honest hotel proprietors in Har-
risburg to contemplate steps to break
up the pernicious practice in this
city.
The liquor dealers realize that their
own efforts to break up bootlegging
would result in putting u quicker
curb on the practice than any ac-
tion of the authorities They realize,
moreover, that the authorities can
take the same stringent measures to
break up bootleggng as they did to
break up disorderly houses.
Some Honest Dealers
Some dealers, who carefully avoid
selling liquor where it is likely to
get into the hands of soldiers, decry
the practice of certain other dealers
who are. not particular, apparently.
