MILLIONAIRE WHISKY RING

Sherman Porter who recently re-
tired as Prohibition enforcement Off
Ger OF Kentucky, charges that huge
whisky ring whose activities center
in Kentucky and whose head is a
Cincinnati millionaire has successfully
diverted whisky from the warehouses
of Kentucky for beverage purposes.
These charges were made after a
court of inquiry had ordered all per-
mits which had been issued to the
kentucky Drug Company OF Coving-
ton to be revoked. Porter declared
that the whisky ring had been pow
crful enough to secure the transfer
of certain Prohibition agents in Ken
lucky to places where they would be
less menace to the illicit traffic
Prohibition agents in Cincinnati and
also Federal Prohibition Commits
sioner Haynes denied having any evil
dence to prove the correctness of the
charges made by Mr.. Porter.

ATTY label EASY ON HOME BREW
Federal Dry Director Stone Lands
On Officials Asking Nominal
Fines"

District Attorney w. c. label of
Milwaukee came out i'll a press state
ment condemning the sNolstead law
and declaring for beer and wine as the
only preventive OF violations OF the
Prohibition law This statement fol-
lowed the raiding OF IS Milwaukee
saloons, in which raid number of
home brew outfits were seized. One
OF these outfits which was set up in
the cellar of saloon had capacity
of 200 gallons daily, yet in the face of
this evidence, District Attorney label
recommended nominal fines" ex-
planning that he did not think home
brew ought to be prohibited. The
court followed the recommendation.
Whercupon James A. Stone. federal
Prohibition director, gave the press a
statement scoring officials W h o,
charged with Prohibition enforce
ment, criticize the law and ask for
nominal fines"
The attitude OF this Milwaukee dis
trict attorney toward the enforcement
of the Prohibition law emphasizes the
necessity of citizens exercising more
interest in the selection OF public Off
Gals to whom is entrusted the duty of
enforcing the Prohibition law. The
public official who refuses to enforce
law because he does not believe the
law to be u just one, is dangerous
official Suppose Mr.. label believed
that the state should not interfere
with the chicken thiei's activities and
for that reason refused to prosecute
chicken thieves taken into custody ir-
respective of evidence of their guilt.
Would the citizens OF Milwaukee long
tolerate such an Official? That is ex-
actly the logic he advances when he
recommends leniency for the home
brewer on the ground that he does
not believe home brew ought to be
prohibited. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary that officials entrusted with the
enforcement of the Prohibition law be
men who will administer the law as it
is written and not as they think it
ought TO be written.

LEAGUE URGES FAIR TRIAL
FOR DRY ENFORCEMENT LAW

Governor Not So Strong as

League, However, Urges That
Drys Cooperate in Making
the Law Effective

The Anti-Saloon-. League OF Wis
consin has issued statement con-
corning the dry enforcement meas
ure passed by the Legislature and
sponsored by Governor Blaine, in
which the League asks cooperation
OF all drys i'll giving the enforcement
measure fair trial The following is
the Leagues statement in part:
"As compared with the Mathcson
bill the administration bill multiplies
the difficulties of enforcement. Since,
however, the governor appoints the
Prohibition commissioner with power
to remove, and has power to remove
district attorneys and sheriffs who re-
fuse to enforce or arc incompetent,
final responsibility rests upon him
and he alone, therefore, must bear
the entire burden OF failure. The
League believes that the proposal
should be given fair trial with hon
est and hearty cooperation of all
drys, but suggests the following cor
rections be made which undoubtedly
will be welcomed by all who have the
interests of Prohibition at heart.
cd The Matheson requirement
that prescriptions for liquor should
not be issued to minors should be re-
stored. The vice Investigations at
Green Bay, according to I. A. De-
laney. Green Bay federal director OF
Prohibition for Wisconsin, showed
that such prescriptions issued to
young men who took young girls joyr
riding were a prolific source of vice.
These prescriptions to minors ought
to be prohibited and surely the adj
minstration would agree TO that.
~ BY inserting the words "for
sale" in the Prohibition upon the
manufacture, the new bill legalizes
tho making of moonslnc in the home
for home consumption. Nearly all
liquor made by amateurs is deadly.
Unless that provision is eliminated VIC

suicides.
"(3) By inserting the word spirit
uous' before the word liquors in the
section which limits prescriptions to
one pint in each ten days, so far as
state law is concerned the new bill
authorizes prescriptions of beer in I'M
limited quantities and OF unlimited al
kholic strength. Since beer has

BISHOP OF BRADFORD SPEAKS OUT
Says Church of England is Lax in
Matter of Temperance; Asks Church
People to Bestir Themselves

Preaching at Keighlcy Parish
Church on June p, says the York
shire Post, the Bishop of Bradford
said the Church of England today was
extraordinarily lax in the matter of
temperance He said:
Last week fuss was made in the
House OF Commons about DR.. Add
sons salary on the ground of econ
omy, matter of paltry 1000 pounds
a year. Why do they not make the
same amount OF fuss about the drink
bill? 1t is because you and | as
church people simply have not made
our voices heard. But the drink peo-
pie make their voices heard all right
in the House OF Commons. There is
no call there for economy in regard
to the drink question. And if any
body does say anything someone is
sure to write to the newspapers and
say, But just look at the magnii-
cent amount of income the country
gets out OF the excise taxes. WE'LL if
you want an answer to that go across
to America. In Boston, for exam
pic, the first year they had dry legis-
lation the income went up no less than
eight million dollars. That does not
look as if Prohibition there had de-
stroyed the power of raising taxes and'
in other places it is exactly the same.
The purchasing power, the efficiency
and the saving OF the community is so
much greater.
you hear it said that directly in
troducc Prohibition other evils arise,
drugs and all the rest OF it. Do not
believe half or even a quarter of what
you see i'll the papers about that sort
of thing coming in the train of Pro-
hibition. Every conceivable argument
against Prohibition comes across the
water and is flooding our newspapers.
1t is only from people who go across
and come back quite impartial and
tell you what they have seen and
heard that you can get at the real truth.
Our papers very often do not publish
the truth, they very often publish lies.
The leading doctors in America tell
you there is no increase i'll the drug

quircd an alcoholic stimulant. The
new disease is termed "Ma1aisc"

this proposal of the vets TO permit

Real Purpose Revealed
The real purpose OF those who arc
fighting for so-callcd medicinal beer
is revealed in the announcement that
in the event the regulations govern
ing its manufacture and sale limit the
prescriptions that may be issued by a
physician or limit the amount that
may be prescribed, they will carry
the fight through the courts. 1t is
apparent to everyone that the contest
now being waged in the Senate is a
contest that will determine whether
this nation be put on beer basis or
not. The restoration of beer means
the restoration OF nine-tenths OF the
liquor traffic.
Write your Senators today and let
them know that you are with them in
their opposition TO this proposal
which would overthrow the Prohibi-
ton policy.

New Wet Organization Sets
Itself to Task of Scuttling
Prohibition
FREE WINE BEER, GOAL
Eighteenth Amendment Here to
Stay Ventures N. L. A.
Founder ]. A. Meyers

Jerome \. Meyers in a letter ad
dressed to the editor OF a prominent
magazine of the United States, ex.
plains how he was persuaded TO or.
ganize the National Liberal Alliance
This organization at the present writ
ing (July 25) is the latest notification
organization launched for the purpose
OF ovcrthrowing the Eighteenth
Amendment, being about the twenty
sixth or twenty-seyenth formed since
the amendment became operative. 1t
seems that QUESTIONABLE was sub
mittcd by Mr.. Meyers to a number
of people asking for an opinion on the
Nolstead Ao. "aad the blue laws" and
he says that it was summary of the
replies to this QUESTIONABLE that per-
suaded him to launch the National
Liberal Alliance. He says that an
overwhelming majority of the replies
arc summed up as follows;
First, that the Nolstead Act
should be modified to permit
wine and beer.
Second, that the Eighteenth
Amendment is here to stay, that
this amendment which should not
be confused with the Nolstcad
Act, should be strictly enforced.
Third, that Sunday amuse-
ments and sports and the use of
tobacco should be left to the in
dividual.
Items one and three in Mr. Meyers
summary are old stuff He will find
the field pre-empted by more than a
score of similar organizations that
have beat him to it, but item two is
unique.
1t is difficult 10 decide whether Mr.
Meyers is trying to be funny or
whether he has simply revealed un-
precedented ignorance concerning the
Constitution of the United States, or
whether he is exploiting the ignor-
ance of the illiterate aliens who are
carrying on the bulk of the illicit
liquor traffic. Nobody unless it be
the ill-informed bootlegger, is likely
TO confuse the Nolstead Act with the
Eighteenth Amendment. Everyone
who can read the newspapers knows
that the Nolstead Act is an act to en-
force the Eighteenth Amendment.
No constitutional amendment is
self-enforcing.
or course it is the Nolstcad Act,
the act that provides the machinery
and fixes the penalties for the viola
ton of the provisions OF the Eight
zenith Amendment, that worries the
promoters OF the organizations such
as the National Liberal Alliance.
When an organization that is formed
for the express purpose of repeating
or weakening the Nolstead Act, ap-
peals for the strict enforcement of the
Eighteenth Amendment it insults the
intelligence of the American people
