liquor or fermenting beer, but at
the present time it is known by most
school children.
The chief cause of prohibition was
the unlaWfulness of the liquor busi-
ness and the contributions to the
various political machines which
gave liquor leaders the privilege to
violate any law they chose not to
obey.
Prohibition was a failure and will
always be, 1t bases its right to desig-
nate what and what not people shall
drink. Besides being a miserable
failure it created lawleSsness and
graft, and is still defended by hair
Drained grafters who individually
profited by it.
If sane liquor laws were passed so
the average citizen could afford to
purchase lawful liquor, the boot
leggers would soon be extinct as the
dodo bird, and if we are ever in
telligent enough in the future to
elect honest officials to represent US,
we may be able to rid ourselves of
the bootleg parasites, and by sane
and decent laws, return to a tenn
perate nation.

HISTORIANS WILL REAP
RECORD FROM NEW ERA
By John Kennedy.

BY John Kennedy.
The last few years will surely be
described by historians as the period
of corrupt banking, insane credit,
expansion and irresponsible bank
ers: the period when our Demo-
cratic government relinquished its
constitutional right to coin and
regulate money to the Neros and
the maniac fringes of the financial
circles. The period Of credit in
flationists and currency deflation-
lists, short sellers, AZ per centers,
cold looded mortgage holders and
conflscators, also the era Of ma
chine worshipping, sweat shop,
profit. mad industrialistS, the era of
monopolizers, corporationists, ma
tional price settlers, chain system
greeders and food spectators.
The historians vii probably write
also Of the bloody bond holders and

ALLEGED ACTIONS OF
COPS ARE SCORED

By Mrs. NJ. Bonsuery.
1t seems to me as taxpayer that
the police of Indianapolis would
have to pay carfare and other
things. Some policemen come in
every week to the beer joints, where
they sell baseball tickets, for their
weekly payoff.
The people pay taxes to have pro-
lection and a clean city; they try
and run one. When person goes
down S. Illinois-st they see boys,
mere babies, looking at pictures of
naked women-pictures not fit to be
standing on a public street.
1 am a mother of children and 1
think many a mother will agree
that these theaters should be closed.
Editors Note-The Times sug-
gests you supply Chief Mike Nor
rissey with the names of these

Mr.. Crookston, the Bible referred

Also, saying that Mr.. Roosevelt is

bunk. You say he gave us jobs. Yes,

honestly earned a million dollars.
I am afraid your judgment Of
honesty is sadly out Of place. The

Yet, they will sentence an old man

is the absolute truth.
AS long as our chosen representa-

ticians, and we have a few local
favorites, they will only help pro-
mote the bootleg industry.
BY reducing liquor and beer prices,
which can only be done by lower
taxes and eliminating the importer,
so that legal liquor dealers can COM
pete in prices with the bootlegger,
is the only sane method that will
destroy the Illicit liquor traffic.
Laws and drastic penalties are
only joke, for as long as there is
profit in moonshine or alcohol it will
be sold. Before prohibition very few

MOODS.
BY AUSTIN JAMES

Sometimes I want TO laugh and sing
Because I'm feeling swell,
And try to others gladness bring
Because I'm doing well.
Sometimes I want to sit and talk
And kind o. loll about,
While other times want TO walk.
I even like to shout.
Yes, most the time want to smile,
But I don't feel so gay
Tonight think I'll cry awhile
And wash my blues away.
