“The Quality Coffee of America.”
The Challenge >f
the Bootleggers
i
A saturnalia of bootlegging seems to be no exaggerated phrase to describe the startling
state of affairs to which the Administration calls the nation’s attention. Inspired Washington
dispatches tell us that the present Prohibition enforcement methods are “debauching and de
basing the entire country”; that the President is "deeply concerned over a belief that the moral
fiber of the American people is deteriorating through the open disrespect shown for the effort
to enforce Prohibition”; and that "the growth of bootlegging, the temerity of rum-runners, and
the serious insinuations against Federal enforcement officers have been worrying the Adminis
tration for some months,” until finally—"With Prohibition enforcement recognized as on the
verge of absolute collapse in four States and in a condition of serious demoralization elsewhere
in the country, President Harding considered today the issuance of a solemn public appeal to
all good citizens to discourage bootlegging as a last resort to administer the law.”
"One way to make Prohibition prohibit.” declares the New York Evening Post, "would 1*
to arrest some of the prominent and respectable people who buy what the bootleggers sell.”
The leading article in The Literary Digest this week takes up the subject of the enforce
ment of the Prohibition laws and presents the opinions of leading newspapers as to ways and
means.
