PROHIBITION FARCE
.eTHE RICH AND THE POOR"

If you belong TO the privileged
class, you can keep your wine cellar
gorged with the rarest brand of wine
and liquors produced by the most
reputable concerns on earth and you
can indulge to your overflowing capa-
city absolutely free from interruption
by the fanatics, grafters and spongers
connected with the prohibition en-
forcement departments.
The Eighteenth Amendment and
the Volstead Act mean nothing to the
rich, as you know, good liquors can be
secured in any locality if you have the
price to pay for it and the rich can
travel in foreign countries and favor
ed parts of our country where VINE,
brandy, whiskey and beer flow
abundantly.
The poor cannot enjoy such lux
uries. You cannot travel abroad, or
to the mountains in summer, and
tropical climate in winter. You must
remain at your task and work and dig
and dig and work and the favored
class, encouraged by self-appointed
fanatics and hypocrites, act as a
guardian over YOUR appetite and con-
duct.
If you left your toll and made su-
preme sacrifice on the fields of France
in order to make the world safe for
democracy and was 1000 miles from
home when this farcical law was
passed and you are now broke and
vainly seeking employment, you can
90 the rest of the way to hell for the
liberty of drinking a glass of pure
beer for all these fanatics care.
Your sacrifice made the world safe
for democracy-Ahem! But, the Ger
mans and Austrians have the freedom
to enjoy beer and wine, and you are
denied that liberty.
Bartholdi's statue located on Bed
loe's Island in New York Harbor te-
dicated Liberty Enlightens the
World" now weeps over the Land OF
the Free and Home of the Brave.
The profiteers, who were sufficient
, ly shrewd to get rich at the Govern
ment's expense, now enjoy the de-
licious drinks denied you and they
appear totally immune from prosecu-
tion.
The profteers have all the booze
they want and they can purchase an
added supply at $4,000 per quart, if
necessary. They can violate the law
without any fear because they are
a favored class and because they are
safe and snug with their supply and
opportunities to get more. They
don't want you to enjoy glass OF
refreshing beer after your days toll
OF drudgery, because they fear it will
impair your efficiency, or you may &c
on a frolic.
If you make some home made brew
or wine and the odol offends your
hypocritical neighbors' nostrils, you
are pounced upon like wild animal
and disgracefully hauled to our filthy
prison to be punished more severely
than some of our notorious criminals
The 18th Amendment and the Vol.
stead Law does not apply 10 you, il
you have money. If you are rich, you
can have your drinks served on silver
trays The Government that enforces
the law against the poor home brew
NUTS will mix your cocktail in {
silver shaker and ask if you woulc
| like a little more vermouth added tt
the next service.
The pious reformer sneaks aroun(
| with the sad expression of an expert
undertaken, winks his eye at drinl
handed him by the rich, gets the casl
and puts on his gum shoes to STEALTH
| ly enter your home with the hope Of
grabbing you at work on little home
made wine for your personal use.
Now, Mr.. Toiler-
This farce will last only as long a!
you allow it.
You can demand a change on Ne
vember if you do your duty.
If you want your liberty restored
to enjoy glass of beer, you can have
: it by voting for it.
| Do not allow yourself to be furthel
governed by a few loud mouthet
women receiving pay from politicians
women who never had and do not in
tend to have any children-telling yo,
how you should raise your children
J you should not enjoy a glass of bee
while they grab at the 16 OF. siz'
glass, these lazy bridge whist lizard
who have nothing to do, but mine
other peoples business and CAB.
