Sn,l:gglers of Rum Turn

The truth is that successful
smugglers of liquor are rapidly

articles, such as diamonds, opium
and fine silks, so you can readily see
what successful rum-running means
eventually to our Government.
"BootIeggers are in the game for

of the kng-pinS would never think
Of touching drop Of even the gen
uine liquor which they handle. They
are business men. They DO business
with bankers and other responsible
men of affairs If they find they can
make as much or more money snug
Cling something else, they will
tackle the something else. That Is
what we have TO guard against, and
I do not mind saving that it is a big
problem"

trade has sprung into existence by
which one bootIeggcr may re known

crossing"
Many men in the trade, especially
the underlings and go-betwcens in
"big deals" are aliens with small
knowledge of or respect for Amer
lean law. Others are knowp to the
police as gunmen or "gat mohE Who
go constantly armed and who DO not
p hesitate to kill.
Knowing they are engaged in a
traffic outside the law, and that they
have no redress in case they are
swindled, these desperate men take
the law into their own hands.
