\ Startling Revelation

FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE'S articles in
1 Tile Times Dispatch hearing on cond-
iionS that have arisen throughout tho
country under prohibition have disclosed
far from rcasSuring state OF affairs. They
have shown, in fact. that organized defiance
Of the prohibition law has reached such
proportions as TO constitute a grave and d-
rect threat against the social stability OF
The whole nation. No thoughtful Ameri-
can may regard the Vile revelations as
other than solemn warning against an at
titudc that has permitted. even fostered. The
conception and development of lawbreak-
ing organizations rivaling in extent and
power the largest OF our legitimate indus
tries
Mr. Vile has shown how politics and
greed coupled with an alarming degree OF
popular unconcern. have thrown an iron
circle OF protection about the buotlcgging
business how capital has been poured into
this outlawcd industry in vast golden
stream: how the arm Of tho Law has been
made impotent by bribery and Influence:
low honest enforcement officials have found
their path so rough as TO he practically
impossible Altogether, il is one OF the
uglicst most alarming chapters OF our ma
tional life.
The Times-DispatCh feels that the dis
seminaton OF the articles by Mr.. Vile con
s,tutes a distinct public service that the
American public will not fail to act in tho
