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. They hope

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.
