BOOZE AND AMER1cAN1sM

1t pays to be an American citizen
in good standing with the local
courts and officials
In the columns Of a worth con-
temporary under the heading
Three liquor eases in court, We
learn how a Mexican is fined 800
and jailed on booze charge, and
also how two Japs We're caught
with Il two-quart jar of whiskey
in 1923 car with similar fine,
and couple of more fines added
for good measure But at the tail
end of the article in few lines
we discover how two genuine
onest-tO-goodness Americans were
arrested by the chief of police
only to have the eases dismissed
because of lack of evidence. OF
the merits of this partiular case
we know nothing. but If you will
watch the press of the state yOl.
viii begin to wonder at the large
number of native sons falsely t?j
accused and let go from lack of
violence" while the poor intutOr-
I'd alien bears the White-man's
burden. Oh, once in while some
aoor Johnny with not many friends
is made an example but very few
"higher-ups' are taken in the net
t. is well-known that the liquor
interests employ SpotteTA veniai
witnesses and professional jury
men No doubt they control thous
ands OF local police officers and
ven some courts. and where it is
profitable and possible they man
ipulate the press. More and more
openly the booze ring is working
Some day an outraged public will
arise in its wrath and call halt
But it is the last chance of the
booze trust and they are willing
10 risk any thing in a last effort
to overthrow law and order
