FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 5, 1924 5.« ■■ m Btß LIQM Competition So Keen Few Whisky Peddlers Can Make Living Says Attorney BY CHARLES P. STEWART NEA Service Writer. WASHINGTON, Dee. 4.—State ment that 5000 bootleggers are doing business in Washington comes from an authoritative source. It comes form Assistant United States District Attorney David A. Hart, who has charge of all prohi bition prosecutions in the capital. Hart say’s competition is so keen few bootleggers are making a living. Competition makes their prices rea sonable, too. If their wares aren’t fairly good they can’t find custom ers. Drys naturally dislike ail this. They would like an investigation, if they thought it would be one of their own kind,, with a view to get ting better enforcement The wets would like an investiga tion ,too, if they thought it would be one of their own kind, because they believe it would make prohi bition ridiculous and pave the way for its modification if not repeal. But the drys don’t want a wet in vestigation is trat such a thing a dry one. Impartial Investigation An impartial investigation has been suggested. The trouble with an impartial in vestigation is thate such a thing seems impossible. Prohibition is the one subject on which nobodv ap pears to be on the fence. Every body is either a dry or a wet. Every member of an investigating com mittee would be sure to have his mind made up, one way or the oth er, in advance. There is this difference: While the wets don’t want a dry investigation, they are willing to lake some chances. Prohibition al ready is the law of the land. It can’t be any more so.

I tc make it less. . They have everything io gain and nothing to lose. If they can get just one wet on a committee other wise made up of drys alone, they figure that the one wet will be able to score heavily. The drys see this. If they can get their kind of a committee, they may be able to make the country, literally, dryer than it is now, but the slightest slip will be to their dis advantage. They have nothing so far as the form of the law is con cerned, to gain and everything to losp. This is why the wets clamor for an investigation, while the drys are willing to agree to one only if as sured that it will stiffen enforce ment of the present law.
