And undreds of millions of private pro-J erties will be destroyed without ompensation and hundreds of milons of revenues will be sacrificed nd all for the purpose of preventing len and women from using whiskey, ine and beer. In various states automobiles, suit i a- ? n?n j ases, uerwis on jtuiiuiuii curs, una ccasionally residences are being jarched for liquor that it may be snfiscated and the holders fined and nprisoned. Our great Commonwealths and our ational Government are crusading long the lines of Carrie Nation, and ley are doing it on so big a scale lat Carrte Nation has been forgot;n. So intent are our great lawlakers, on prohibiting the use of quor by all people save the lawlakers th'at Bills of Rights and Decirations of Independence have been teraly thrown into discards i Down in Tennessee which is made veritable desert of , thirst, Uncle am's sleuths have been very active f late, and thousands of quarts, ints, and half-pints have been seizd and the owners probably h&ve een fined and sent to Federal prison k Atlanta, Ga. * ' And what did Uncle Sam do with lis vast amount of liquor?this )amnable Stuff' that no man should e permitted to use? Was it destroyd as it should have been? On the jntrary, it was shipped up to Louisille and advertised" and sold at pub c auction at the Custom House. Men nd women were invited to come and uy this liquor, and its virtues were ictolled by the goods, natured auconeer to such an extent that it real;ed extraordinary prices. The only excuse for the confiscaon of all this liquor, including the utomobiles in which it was carried the contention that it should not e used by human beings, and yet the nited States Government, after takig the property from men who owni it, sells it to the people of Louis ille and puts the money received in) the public treasury. The centention of the prohibition's is that liquor belongs in the cateory of drugs such as cocaine, morhine, and the like, and what would e thought of Uncle Sam if he lould confiscate a shipment of such rugs and then bring them to Louisille and sell them at public auction ) all who cared to purchase? I present this particular instance > the press as one of the thousand iconsistancies that makes national nd state-wide prohibition look more ke^farce than a serious effort t<r' cfrifc about a reform. > T.
