Troubles of a Prohibition Direc-

GUARDING THE FRONTIER
Eleven Deputies Not Enough to
Watch 1875 Roads and $50
Miles Along Border
GUARDING THE FRONTIER

Collins NJ. Graves. prohibition dlrec-
tor for the State of Vermont, spoke
before the Brotherhood Of the Metho-
diet church last evening. Owing to
the storm the attendance was small
and the members who were not pres
ent missed the most interesting adj
dress given before the Brotherhood
this winter
Mr.. Graves address was entirely
informal and he gave his hearers per-
mission to ask questions and this priv.
tlege was taken advantage Of by sew
eral OF those present,
Mr. Graves described the efforts
made by the federal prohibition direc-
tor and his force to hold down the
traffic in intoxicating liquors in YER
mont On the northern border Of the
state there are 125 roads leading into
Canada and he has only eleven depu-
ties to guard this whole frontier.
which is $50 miles long.
At the same time there are IN every
large town in the state and most Of
the smaller towns, private stills in OPP
o-ati5n and hundreds of home brew
cries. all of them Illegal but not often
int-rferod with except when their
pre- ,Cot is sold. In some towns and
ties the police and local authorities
try TO help enforce the prohibitory law
v hlle in others the poIce help the
booteggers and try TO hinder the
work q enforcement.
OF Mr Graves force of eleven dep
uties some are always busy with re-
ports, as witnesses in court or on spe.
cal duty so that he seldom has over
FIVE or six deputies available for actual
enforcement work at any one time.
With the territory to cover and the
$50 miles of border to watch it is
clear that the work cannot all be done.
With the coming of spring and the
opening of automobile roads ythe
bringing In Of liquors from Canada
is large Y increasing. but the supply OF
pure. high grade liquors is growing
less and less and the stuff coming in
from Canada gets worse and worse.
Much Of II is actually poison. The
bootleggers have found that people
, this side of the line Will buy anything
they bring in and the consequence is
that a:uch Of it is actually poisonous
and dangerous.
The liquor manufactured by the
home stills is even worse Practically
all Of this will gradually kill those
who use it in the course of few
months or few years. This does not
apply to the homebrew. Much of
that, of which samples have been
taken and tested, is pure and clean
and of a higher grade than much of
/ the commercial beer that was sold be-
/ fore the days of prohibition.
To put 1t straight if one Is bound TO
break the law and have something to
drink, the only wise thing is to make
home.brew beer. The product of
amateur stills is a quick passport TO
the cemetery and the alleged liquors
brought in from Canada are not much
| better
Following the address, ilapjacks
and maple syrup were served and
these proved as interesting as the
talk. The singing was in charge of
D. Ed Moore and the affair was one
of the best Of the winter
