PROHIBITION IS GONER NOW
Things Never Come Back From Politics, Mourns Will.
BEVERLY HILLS, Cal., July 15.—
Prohibition originally started out with
us as a moral issue. It was either
good or bad for you to drink.
Then it drifted
to economics. Did people save more
when not drinking?
Then into racketeering. But now
it's drifted into the
worst angle of any,
that's politics.
American history
records no return
of anything once
it got into politics.
The vote in the
senate the other
day shows that
morals, economy,
less taxes, nothing
entered their minds
only "How can my party get part of
the beer and all of the credit?" Beer
has lined up with the post offices as
political loot. Yours,
WILL ROGERS.
