LAST HOPE OF WETS GONE; DRY LAW DECLARED LEGAL.

The knockout delivered John Barleycorn Monday by the United States supreme court declaring war time prohibition legal, came as a tremendous blow to the leaders of the wets, dispensers of liquor, the wiseacres who had been predicting a wet as well as a merry Christmas, and the average man with a thirst. “We do not care to criticize the supreme court and have no complaint to make at this time,” was the forthcoming statement from A. W. Slaight, executive secretary of the Association Opposed to National Prohibition. The blow fell hardest on the thousands of saloonkeepers and the white-aproned assistants who had been preparing to pass the Yuletide with unprecedented sales. Motor trucks were tuned up awaiting the signal to dash to the warehouses and return, advertising posters and pamphlets had rolled away from many a printing press. All that was lacking was immunity from the law?
