rlHrpd Bryan, while here on a tour

Clnrcd prohibition has come to stay.
Prohibition ls pcrmnuont," he de-
rlnrcd cmphHtirally "liuforo pruhi-
hitior went into effect carloads OF
liquor were shippcd into the cities,
hauled by drays to saloons on prom
inont corners and displayed ullur-
ingly on the shelves and In windows.
Now liquor - brought In hind
bags at night by boutlcggcrs who
sneak through the alleys. That liz
Eomc change. Where the law IL not
enforced It is mainly where the en-
forcing officers are not In Eympn-
thy with the law. An officer who sits
down and listens to u debate be-
tween his appetite and his oath Of
office before starting on raid, Ia
apt to arrive too late. IT'S something
like allowing horsothlovcs to elect
sheriff.
"a.
to cut out their own supply, we
have those who are crooked; but
We have the same problem TO deal
with In enforcing all laws. Many
automobiles ARE stolen, but no one
suggests that the law against auto
mobile thofts be repealed"
The "wcts," Bryan declared smii-
ingly. thought the beer ruling by
former Attorney General A. Mitchell
Palmer was "A ray OF sunshine.

, supports Excess Profits Tax.
7 The Corpulent, mnny-timc presf-
DENTAL candidate also had few
remarks to make about taxes, The
great question Il not so much re-
duction OF taxes. he asserted, as tho
selection Of things to be taxed.
The only tax repeal which has
been vocifcrously demanded" stated
Bryan, "is the excess profits tax.
This should be the last tax repealed.
II In tax collected only on excess
profits-that Is the tax that ought
not to bc taken from tho purchaser.
II IN the only taX that one can res
peal himself. without seeking the
aid or consent Of anyone else. II
