Chicago There are teeth In the Vol.

which would make prohibition enforce

He recently returned 70 public life as
legal adviser Of the prohibition direc-

stead said. but the purchaser OF Illicit
liquor is subject to 90 days imprison-
ment and for second offense not to
exceed two years.
1T would have a salutary effect, :"
ne went on, ito prosecute some Of
these purchasers so that the country
might know some OF the so-called
good people are simply in the boot
leg class. This provision IL contained
IN section % Of title 2 Of the prohibit

'No pains should be spared to Sc

drastic so as to make Il Improbable

is idle to attempt to restrain simply by
imposing a fine. That Is nothing but
a license and the Judge who imposes 1t
