RUM ON THE RUN.
The liquor Interests—from, the
doggery to the trust—hsve fought
the prohibition movement at every
step. They ueed every art known
to practical polities. They tried
the campaign of brass band and
skyrocket, the gum shoe and still
hunt, the hard drive »nd the soft
pedal—and got whipped. In the
beginning they fought the placing
of any tax whatsoever upon liquor.
They fought every proposition to
Increase the license; they fought
the 8unday-closlng laws; they
fought In California for their Ina
lienable right to sell whisky to
minors and to known drunkards.
They fought the Five Mile laws;
flonght to beat local option; they
fongtat state-wide prohibition. They
are now fighting, tooth and toe
nail. against the tew proposed Ip
ment shall no longer tesad-Internal
revenue licenses In communities
where the sale of liquor la prohib
ited by local tew. They ore now
fighting to maintain Uncle Sam’s
partnership with the blind tiger,
wherein the majesty of the United
States Is held up as a shield to the
dire keeper and a protection to the
outlaw. At practically every step
they hsTe been beaten.
Thoroughly aroused at last' to
the danger that threatens their
trade, the brewers and wholesalers
are beginning to announce a gen
eral houae 'cleaning. They say—in
articulo mortis—that they want to
put the dtre out of business and
keep their trade respectable. Laud
able, but .Tate. Years ago all
good people would bare welcomed
the brewers' aid In stifling the
dive;. Now they will attend to the
Jefb themselves, asking pexmlgslon
neither of tho dive keeper nor the
brewer. And they will do It In
their own good way and' time.—
