FEAR OF DjOTTIW
EVIDENCE MAY CAUSE
END OF LEX0W PLAN
Political "Higher Ups" and
Lieutenants Show Grave
Concern at Burns' Inves
tigation, While Remain
ing Cheerful.
Sweeping disclosures of tho secret oper
ations of the Republican Organization and
tho alleged contractor's combine In this
city, which will follow tho publication of
the Investigations conducted In this city
for more than four year by Detective
William J, Bums and his operators, are
being awaited with tense Interest In
political circles. The disclosures will bo
mado If tho legislative "Loxow" Com
mission's powers nro Invoked.
Since the stnrtllng announcement was
mndo three days ngo that Mr. Burns had
collected a mass of corruption evidence
agatnBt thoso politically "higher up" In
Philadelphia, every effort has been made
by the Republican Organization leaders
and their lieutenants In Councils to learn
Just what disclosures nro to be made
While appearing to bo unconcerned every
hint of what Mr Burns had learned Is
being eagerly seized upon by Organiza
tion workers.
SEEK INFORMATION.
FTom various sources Ilttlo driblets ot
Information nro coming to the cars of
thoso who have most to fear. Already
there aro strong Indications that the
"Lexow" Commission, croated by the
Legislature nt Harrlsburg will never sit
In Philadelphia. For the sake of appear
ance, and to allay suspicion, the members
of tho commission will be appointed next
week, but the body will nover 'bo called
together, It Is believed
An Instance which Is causing the Or
ganization leaders much uneasiness Is
tho knowledge that a Burns operator was
employed for some weeks In tho private
offlce of an cx-Councllman. Records of
this former Councilman's pcreonnl, polit
ical and councllmanlc activities now
rest In the vaults with tho remainder of
tho evidence collected by Burns.
Complete details of tho land-grabs en
gineered by members of Councils and
their Organization superiors for personnl
profit are known to be In tho possession
of Burns. Startling facts regarding the
slush fund raised to re-elect Senator Pen
rose are also among tha" disclosure ,
be made public
To disarm public suspicion, A rumor has,
gon forth In political .;I ret en that tho
"tiexow" commission va never created
with a thought to Investigate the Blnk
enburg administration, but rather If was
designed as a self-defense weapon for
Senator Vare, which he wished to h&vd
available In the event of a break between
himself and Senator McNIchol In the fall
rriayoralty campaign.
GOVDRNOR MOST SIGN BILL,
Eminent constitutional lawyers' say that
the concurrent legislative resolution
crentlng tho commission milst' bo signed
by Governor Brumbaugh, despite the

Pacts Versus
Fallacies
BiiiHni
FACT is a real state of things. FALLACY is an appar
ently genuine but really illogical statement or argument.
DEOPLE who follow Prohibition FALLACIES have
r little idea how far the "drys" propose going. Nor
have the "drys" any conception of the disaster that would
follow if their hopes were realized. Supposing national
Prohibition could become a law what then? Taking gov
ernment reports as a basis, some of the consequences are
here outlined:
AT ONE stroke, under Prohibition, the United States
ri Government would lose 233 millions of dollars annual
revenue from liquor taxation the amount received the
last fiscal year. Who would make up the loss?
ipHE various Commonwealths of the Union would, in
tne aggregrate, lose 21 millions of dollars annual reve

'THE counties in the States would, altogether, lose the
revenue of 7 millions of dollars a year now received
from liquor taxation. Who would make good that loss?
HT HE cities of the United States would lose an aggre
gate of 513 millions of dollars annually if Prohibition ,
oceanic a law. wno wouia make up this sum?
( ONSIDER, too, that 842 thousand persons (as Census reports
state) who manufacture and deal in liquors would be put
out of business by a national Prohibition law, besides an army of
one million six hundred thousand wage earners thrown out of
ciiiuiuiiicui. who woum proviae compensation tor tne enormous
destruction of business properties, and provide work in lines other
than alcoholic drink production (or the hosts ot men cast upon the
world for a livelihood by Prohibition?
PlNALLY if the FALLACY of national Prohibition were
A possible, who would pay the large army of government
employees that would become necessary to try and enforce ouch
law? And after all's said and done, there would remain this
FACT the result of Prohibition would be that no law could pre
vent people making alcoholic drinks for their own consumption.
There would be few families, in consequence, that would not have
private stills in their own homes. For the law gives them the right
to manufacture alcoholic stimulants to their hearts' content and
drink to excess if they so desire I
