The Shiny trail OF bribery winds
its way through low and high places
from the rank and file Of prohibition
agents up into offices Of directing Of
fciaIs. It's blight has fallen on fed
eraI. state and municipal forces.
No effective means of combating
it has been found. Agents by the
score have been dropped or jailed;
pleas and warnings. appeals TO pat
riotism and conscience and every
other possible means to build up a
wall against bribery and the lure
of easy money have failed.
pres't. Harding and his cabinet
are alarmed at the hagrant viola
ton of the national prohibition
amendment. 1t is giving the admin

being undermined.
