The country discusses the de
cision of Federal Judge Wil
liam T. Clark, vho says that,
prohibition isn't legal because
the people didn'i. pass on it.
. Judge Clark is interesting t
millions of men and women, al
thought lie may not know it,
for he is one of the famous "O.
N. T. Clark Thread;' family.
Judge Clark's decision that
prohibition isn't legal will be
reversed by the supreme court,
probably. ,
The highest court will be
slow to render a decision and
making illegal all that has been
done during the past ten years
on the decade that has created
bootlegging, the hipacking, the
shootings, the racketeering and
the other features of the boot
leg industry.
The supreme court will hard
ly condemn everything that the
national government has done
in the name of prohibition at
this late date.

the people never had a chance
