to support hordes of enforcement
spies and superf1uous officials, with
out having it show in your Tax Bill?
There is remedy, however, and it
lies in the hands of the people, if
they will only make use of it, which
is to throw all of their influence to
the Association Against the Prohibit
ton Amendment and refuse to sup
port any candidate for any office who
does not have the official endorsement
of the association. Encourage every
friend, neighbor, relative and acqoain-
tance to pursue this course and it will
not require many election days to
drive out the usurpers.
ROUND NUMBER FOUR
And now the news comes from Chi
cagO that Torrance Druggan, a brew
er, will, through his attorneys, make
the fourth attack on the constitution
ality of the VOlstead Law and that
the Supreme Court is to give it an
early hearing. The principal point
made, hinges upon three different
dates, viz: 18th Amendment was rati-
fed January 16, 1919, just 78 days
prior to the date that the amendment
was to have become effective. Thus
you have the strange spectacle of
your Congressman and Senators be-
ing SO filled with anxiety that they
could not wait for the date which
made the vile amendment, for which
they were responsible, effective be-
fore busying themselves with the en-
forcement act. Wasn't it queer? Did
it require this climax to bind the
bought and paid for" legislation be-
fore the deal was to be considered
complete? Was the nervous tension
caused by the fear that there might
be ''slip" betwixt the "cup and the
lip unless they put on all "speed
ahead to bind the traitorous villainy
which they had perpetrated?
The illegality of this act is so plain
that any "clodhopper" can grasp the
idea at a glance, when the dates with
their attendant events are given him.
If you are fond of handing out con-
undrums just give them dates with
their relative happenings to your pro-
hibition acquaintances and ask them
to explain to you just what would be
the exact difference between your
violation of this illegal law and their
persistent insistence that this same
illegal, irregular law be enforced even
to the detriment of all other laws
how, where and why the SACRED
NESS???
AS we have stated, the Illegally
of this act is so apparent that had
this particular feature been discover
ed at an earlier period in the strug-
gle, we would have been justified in
expecting a favorable decision, but
when thing possesses such charm
and invisible sanctity that it can sue
cessfully withstand three onslaughts
one may as well estimate that "PER-
HAPS" another may get under the
wire
Apparently the time when all of
this vicious legislation will be thrown
into the discard is when the people
arise in their wrath and demand lib
eration-then perhaps will the higher
ups hear, quake and eventually con
cede the inevitable.
RED RUSSIA RESISTS RUM
What? No!-only for eleven years
and then capitulates completely, re-
sends all of the partial prohibitive
schemes and makeshifts and kicks
off the lid entirely. Oh, horrors
what about an S. o. S. to the Me
thodist morality department" to rush
recruits to overcome this tragic ira
gedy"-can't their Musselman friends
cross over and give some urgent re-
