A MOONSHINE LID.
Urge State and County Officials

Even in Kansas They're Max

Washington, Jan. 2S,-The necessity
of arousing state and county officials
to their responsibility in assisting the
government break up the manufac-
ture of moonshine whisky is urged
upon the. governors of prohibition
states today in a letter from Internal
Revenue Commissioner Roper. The
letter was made public as part of a
nationwide campaign against illicit
distilling recently announced by Com
missioner roper when it was discov-
cred that the manufacture of moon
shine" was rapidly increasing in bone
dry states ana whisky was being sold
to soldiers in southern train
ing Camps.
Constantly increasing violation of
prohibition laws in several localities, :"
said the commissioners appeal to the
governors, open defiance of federal
authority and the apparent inability
OF the local police to cope with con-
d1t1ons are astounding and distressing.
The morale of every army camp in
the prohibition states is in jeopardy
thru the illicit distilling and sale of
whisky. You will. l am sure, deter
mine upon the most practicable meth
cd OF arousing your county officials to
their responsibilities and duties in CO.
operation with federal agents.
Near Army Camps.
The commissioner also wrote con-
gressmen from prohibition states ask
ing their cooperation and letters of
instructions went forward to internal
revenue collectors. The campaign al
ready has resulted in arrests in many
states but the commissioner points out
the records show the main effort to
keep moonshining in check continues
to come under federal direction
Southern training camps reported
as most affected are: Camps Wads-
worth, Spartanburg, S. G; Camp
Sewer, Greenville, S. c.; Camp Jack
son, Columbia, S. c., and Fort Ogle-
thorpe, Ga.
Figures show moonshining heaviest
in the southern states, but indicate

questions. But for this union to decide
whether or not the chur ches should con-
duct meetings at such and such time Is
'preposterous. As far as l. am familiar
with the church government of the yari-s
Gus denominations, the power of such de-
cisions rests with church board That
is thes fact in the case in my church. and
for me to go to the Ministerial union of
Topeka and vote in favor of disseminating
any of the regular services in my church is
to assume dictatorship and authority
that Il do not have. and it appears to me
that when the president of the Ministerial
union makes reports to our newspapers of

voting of the Monday meeting of a number
of the ministers of Topeka he is treading
on very thin ice. 1t is my personal belief

experts place the saving of coal in
