dry and there has been some dispo-
sition to criticize the policy of the
prohibition officers In this commu-
nifty of shooting at the s~parrows"
and letting the bootleg hawks" get
away with the goods.
1t has been the policy of the pro-
hibition forces here to arrest young
boys and girls for trying to take
a drink on tho sly at the cabarets
and the hotel supper dances. There
have been many arrests along this
line and much spectacular space in
the local newspapers. But SO far as
dammins the incoming stream of
liquor, 1t is admitted thai virtually
no progress has been made.
The prohibition people, in their
effort to get congress to appropriate
money for posters and placards of
every sort. have shown they are ON
WINGED that about the only way to
make real Roadway with enforce

science of the people. There is no
question but that b~ootlegging will
thrive so long as there is a market
