THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...

Q

>—skk«6!
“Quite a stack of newspapers I left you
yesterday, Judge. Aren’t goin’ in the news-
paper business, are you?”
“No, I just enjoy reading different
papers so my nephew George sends them
to me whenever he takes a business trip.
I got a big kick out of some he sent me
from several counties where they still have
prohibition. Particularly from some head-
lines that read4 Drunk Driving Arrests Rise’,
‘ 'Advertisement’ ’
‘Bootleggers must post Ceiling Prices’,
‘Federal Agents seize4 Trick’ Liquor Truck’.
Doesn’t that go to prove, Joe, that prohibi-
tion does not prohibit?
“I watched conditions pretty carefully
during our 13 years of prohibition in this
country. The only thing I could see we got
out of it was bootleg liquor instead of legal
liquor...plus the worst crime and corrup-
tion this country has ever known.”
