Prohibition Whisky.
LTTufsvllle Courier-Journal.
The federal government has is
sued a rraud order to stop the bus
iness of a mail order establihhment
at Newport which advertised to sell
fine Kentucky" whisky at 50 cents
a quart. According to the state
ment of the chemists who analyzed
the beverage It Is composed of alco
hol and water and coloring matter.
An Illinois purchaser says it froze
in his room. What It did In his
internal workings" is another story,
as Mr. Kipling is wont to remark.
Here we have an illustration of the
workings of prohibition. It Is stated
that 8,000 letters are now In the
Newport postoffice addressed to the
concern and that it has probably
managed to clear $g0,000 by selling
imitation whisky through mall or
ders.
If alcoholic beverages are used at
all It Is wise to be temperate In con
suming them. But It Is outrageous
folly to drink a mysterious mixture
which Is misbranded "whiskey," and
which may cause iio end of evil or
possible death. Yet, a mail order
concern opens up for business with
a stock of alcohol and water and col
oring matter and does a "land of
fice" business In prohibition terri
tory. In theory the prohibition sec
tion Is "dry." In fact, It Is wet with
strango decoctions masqurading as
whisky. Who is benefitted?
I ryan abuse. N$ grain of truth is bo

magnify it into a mountain of over
