To say that not very much
has been done to take active

The nation had "wished"
upon it a wet-dry problem, and
with it such an outbreak of
crime as the world has never
heard of. ..
Men may think as they please
about prohibition and its wis

two opinions about the crime

as big as the total income of the
government from beer and
whiskey in the old days.
