"Buttermilk Beats Booze."
The liquor interests claim that
when a city goes dry it is mfest-
ed with bootleggers, blind tigers,
etc, They paint a horrible pic
ture of drunkenness and .de
bauchery that leads some to be-
ieve that every citizen goes
around with a large funnel strap
ped to his back and that when
he wants a drink of liquor all be
las to do is to back up under a
filling station anywhere on any
street, arranged somerhat siiai
lar to the overhead pipos nsed
for filling sprinkling wagon9,
turn a faucet, and drink to his
hearts contont. Whon we went
to Phoenix, Anzjna, one year
ago last fall, knowing tiiat Ari
zona was dry. 1 tried in every
conceivable way to buy liquor, or
at least to meet somo gynt who
sold hii'ior, but failed to do so
inally one day 1 saw a lot of pw
pie coming out of a place, some
wiping their lips, others carrying
mysterious paclrages under their
arms, 'minus i, -iiiureiia." 1
went into ihe place and saw sev
eral people lined up along acoua
ter drinking. The first thing I
ooked for was a rail near the
floor, but failing to see one I look
ed at the wall and saw a large
igu reading, "Buttermilk Beats
Booze " The fact is that illegal
sellers were as scarce as hen's
teeth, and that the young raer,
and boys did not come in coo tact
with the demoralizing influence of
the liquor traffic. And by the
way savings banks deposits and
building permits have increased
steadily, business generally has
greatly Improved and crime and
poverty have decreased since Ar
izona was "ruined" by prohibi
tion. SETH llAGI'LUARGER.
