is in Atlanta, Miller is in Leavenworth Scores of
others like them wealthy. influential politically power
full, contemptuous of all law. learned that prohibition
be and is being enforced.
Professional liars aided by gulble neurals and
biased booze sympathzers creating the impression
that liquor is being consumed in this country
than before Get of these professional liars
before grand jury testify about what he processes
to know and he will whimper he hides behind his
privileged condolences journalist Ask of these
professional liars to his protested knowledge of iq
lawessness in the interests of his government in
stead of the interests of the international beverage aco
hol combine and he will WEIGH like the yellowes pro-
enemy dodger of times.
favore trick of these professional propagan-
diss is to quote noted expert eminent author
ity," prominent citizen" Another trick is to
pare statistics covering dry year with another in
stead of with corresponding wet period excuse
for big headlines designed to show an enormous in
in crime drunkenness
One question completely disposes of most current
wet lies. IF conditions than they would
be without present prohibition laws why reopen
the saloons restore the legal status of liquor it
existed before prohibition? few simple, sensible ques
tons will dispose OF most of the of the

alley fences than distributed by the brewers and
distiler while their stuff being distributed by the
train load from the most convenient corner locations?
Drinking at home? Why is every attendance record at
movies baseball games football games, wrestling
matches, parks libraries, Schools bargain Sales
ventions etc, etc, being broken?
Drinking home brew? Then why the less
NEUROLOGICAL fleets of ships and hordes of hooc
peddlers supply the theoretical demand for whisky
when beer is earnestly recommended the perfect
preventive of whisky craving?
In fact, almost any wet propagandists argument

equally wet but absolutely inconsistent with the first
As for instance press statement number that dis
tinguished visitor from England could absolutely
signs of prohibition and number days
later declaring that he hurryng home, eager-t
reach his booze supply.
1t is that there is still crime there is still drunk
But there is infinitely less than there would be
without prohibition and other conditions the Dry
