INSCORE RAPS THE?B00TLEGGER WHO SELLS LIQUOR TO JUVENILES Sometime ago I expressed myself as being of the opinion that the petty thief was the lowest creature on earth, being several degrees beneath the reptile, vermin and rodent. But I have now found his equal. This Is a hard statement to make. I realize, and it will bring displeasure to many many "good citizens" of the U. S. A., some of whom are closer than we might think, too. But it will be another case of "the truth hurts" and I challenge the ones whom the shoe fits to take public exception with me. Or, if he is too degraded and cowardly, any other man who does not think this being as low as I think he Is. This "thing" Is the bootlegger. Don't mistake me. I'm not in sympathy with the Prohibition Law, because it has proved a dismal failure from beginning to its present age, and will continue to be so on to its end. The Prohibition Law has made out of honest citizens In spite of what our "Idealists" may say. Drinking "good liquor' has diminished, yes, but not "drinking."
