Hits Liquor Passenger Package
Route
Order Forbids Merchandise in
Coaches
Booze loot Toters Only Patrons
Affected
Washington and New Jersey Link
Broken
Bootleggers Gave Railroad Much
Trouble

A sign reading: Passengers will
not be permitted to carry merchan-
disc with them on passenger trains"
recently posted by the B. & o. rail
road in Maryland and New Jersey
towns struck gloom to the suitcase
and package traders plying between
these wet B. G. o. towns and the. city
of Washington.
Action by the railroad company was
taken because of the fact that boot
leggers were going into the wet
towns along the railroad and carry
ing back with them into Washington,
great loads of booze. So the order
was issued
1t happens that the order does not
specify booze, but as that is the only
merchandise which is thus carried, it
puts booze on the down and out list
whether it is specifically named or
not. Railroad officials denied that
this was a specific anti-booze order
but even adroit in denial, the results
are the same.
When asked how the order against
merchandise carrying would be en-
forced, it was answered that whether
booze, bananas, a mattress or other
merchandise should be brought by
passenger to be carried into the coach
and thereby crowd up a seat or crowd
out a passenger, the merchandise
would either have to be left outside or
the passenger not travel The merch-
andise will have to go by proper ship
ping routes. As it happened no one
with bananas, or mattress or other
merchandise has shown up except the
Washington Booze Toters and hence
it is the booze toters who have been
hit. "Strafe der B. G. o."

Ryan, returned soldier, are dead as a
result of having consumed drinks in

known definitely how they secured
the death potion, but it is presumed
that the wood alcohol was put into
some near-beer connection to give it
a kick. Investigations are under way.

Michigan Officers Locate Much
Contraband
Saloon Men Are Caught Using
Cellars
Beaten Paths Show Officers the
Locations
Raid Detroit Cellars to Find
Booze
Former Salonkeepers Are the
Violators

Beware OF the worn path, is the slo-
gan that is passed around among the
Michigan bibulous who seek to give
continued patronage TO John Barley
corn by hunting him in the cached
places. When inquiry was made of
Commissioner Fred Woodwork as
to how he was going to find booze in
cellars so he could evoke the search
warrant law and get it, he answered,
Don't worry about that. A cellar
Of booze will make itself known.
There will be a beaten path to it.
When it does become worn, look
out"
Within a weeks time three cellars
in the city OF Detroit were traced by
means of the worn path and when
raided yielded two things: first, $4,000
dollars worth of booze and, second
that the booze was still owned by for
mer saloonkeepers. 1t is revealed in
the state of Michigan very convincing
~ that the great cry of the saloon
keepers that the Prohibition law could
not be enforced was based upon the
fact that it was the saloonkeepers who
would not obey the law and does not
apply generally to the people at large.
Their argument, however, is circum-
stantially rcfuted in that while they
try to violate the law it is proving ex-
pensive to them.

The patriotism of the liquor people
should no longer be questioned The
correctness of this statement is not
only being revealed more and more
each day but is shown with COM
pleteness of conviction in the revela-
lions of the German-American Alli-
snee, United States Brewers Associa-
ton. and the pro-German agencies
generally in this country. The booze
interests OF this American nation are
intensely patriotic but their patriot
ism is for and their loyalty is to Ger
many and not to this country.
The hand of the Hun in its system
OF espionage has been one of the re-
markable features of this war of world
intrigue. So versatile has been its
methods of manipulation that it has
been adroit in meeting emergencies.
Immediately upon the brewery-vice
combination being shown up, together
with the relationship to the German
American Alliance and the relation
ship to other German agencies in their
efforts to both disease and debauch
American fighting men and also Amer
lean labor, they are now coming out
upon the stand OF loyalty and patriot
ism and their battle cry is this. PRO
hbition will help the Germans by un-
necessarily weakening the nation"
They are also reported to be intending
to back up this cry with indisputable
(i) data to corroborate their argu-
ments.
The patriotism of the liquor people,
OF the German brewers and the vice
agencies which are being operated and
directed largely through German es-
pionage agents, leaves the one ire
futable conclusion that the liquor
bunch is patriotic, not to America, but
to the Hun

S0.L0NG JOHN, YOU ARE
BETTER GONE

On the matter of laying by spir
IS, not spiritual, store for the futur
Iays when law and order says Johi
3arleycorn is done, through, past ant
zone, the Pittsburgh Gazette Time
las this to say:
Is 1t Wise to "Stock Up?"
Diminishing stocks of intoxi-
eating liquors, plus the heavy adj
ditional taxes imposed by the war
revenue act, are pushing up the
price of whisky to a point which
makes it prohibitive to very many
persons. This is paving the way
for nationwide Prohibition which
every intelligent observer is con-
hdent will be operative in less
than two years. The sudden clos
ing of public bars which is in
evitable will prove shock to
comparatively few people, the
great majority of whom will be-
come resigned to abstinence long
before it becomes impossible to
buy liquor. But there is con-
siderable number who have pre-
pared or are preparing to post
pone the drought as long as pos
sible by stocking up with supplies
I, IF
ton is due.
There is no private property
right in liquor where the state has
provided by law that no citizen
may keep it, irrespective of any
intention to sell it in violation of
law. That is the Judgment of the
United States Supreme Court.
Federal Prohibition will not, pre-
sumably, Of itself make criminal
the mere possession of intoxicat-
ing liquor for personal use. 1t is
to be expected, however, that
when the amendment is ratified
the several states will make a
sincere endeavor to carry out the
spirit of the new constitutional
provision. The majority of the
people being law-abiding, there
will be popular demand that
Prohibition will be enforced
equally against all the people.
Private stocks will come under
the ban of law in most states, we
may be sure. If they are con-
hscated the owner will have no
right of recovery. So money in
vested in liquor as precaution
against deprivation upon ratifca-
ton of the Prohibition amend
ment is money risked. And there
may be an added penalty for pos
session of private cellar" which
no sclf-respecting citizen will
care to incur.
