Clergymen, law and order organ izatiens, Judges and even the nd c and enforcement efiieeis maivel at the qinr.tities of alleged liquor available. Every raid and i-ei.ure noted in the new-papers is merely fragmentaiy evidence of fortune made and making. The explanation of tin- wholesale violation of the proh.bitien law.-, net only m Pennsylvania, which i one of the great liquor States of the East, but thiougheut the Natien. lies in the enormous profits earned by bootlegger-. If this v-eie elim inated toil prohibition would become largely effective at once. Th is the opinion of Federal officers in close touch with every phase of the bootlegging industrv. Vlnlmlne T Kpnnks,. II TrOaSUlV .1 . ,i agent at Philadelphia, wne-e special concern is. te catch -mugglcrs ei real liquor, said: "Bootleggers of all descriptions, and there are scores of varieties-, are in the bu.-ines simply te make a let of 'ta-y' money. Even the smaller fty are making mere mene. with a comparatively tmall degree of effort, than they ever made before. "As far as the Government is con cerned, the evils of bootlegging, especially when it takes the form of smuggling liquor into the country, go far outside of lum itself. Con scientious levenue officer- ate mere than eager te -tauin out whisky smuggling fn.ni thr We-t Indie-, Mexico, Canada and Europe for ether reasons than meie prohibition enforcement. Smugglers of Rum Turn te Smuggling cf Cents "The truth is that .successful smugglers of liquor aie rapidly learning hew te smugg'e ether articles, such as diamond-, opium and fine silks, se you can readily sec what successful rum-running irean cventually te our Government. "Bootleggers ne n the game for money, and for nothing else. Many of the king-pins would never think of touching a drop of even the gen uine liquor which they handle. The are business men. 'I hey de business with bankers and ether 'responsible' men of affair-. If thy find they can make as much 01 nieie money smug gling something el-e, thev will tackle the something else. That i what we have te j-uuid again -t, and I de net mind sn; ing that it is a lug problem." The bootleggers form a great clan spreading from one en I of the coun try te the ether. A jargon of the trade has sprung mfi ei-tence by which one bootlegger may be 1 newn te anetner. While they work to gether, the nie.-t elaborate precau tions are taken against "double crossing." Many men in the trade, especially the undei lings and ge-betweens in "big deals," aie alien- with small knowledge of or lespect for Amer ican law. Other.-, aie Known te the police as gunmen or ' gat mob-" who go constantly armed and who de net hesitate te kill. Knewing they aie engaged in a traffic outside the law , and that they have no ledress in case they are swindled, these desperate men tul.e tlie law into their own hands.
