PASSING OF THE BOOTLEGGER KT l CUC No. 1 UNCLE ISAM might very reasonably advertise “bootleggers for sale.” Not that they are salable. It is simply that the good Code has a‘gn at many of the breed of •which he soon must make some disposition. The problem, is not only real, it is acute. To understand it. and gather an Idea, about what must be done to solve it. we should analyze the bootlegger, He should know whence he .determine whither he goes. If he goes.' He was, .broadly speaking, a product of the prohibition era. That Is, the “millionaire bootlegger” came with prohibit ion J Before that we always had the bootlegger. But he was a s;i,.ill tiiiM-r He was nothing but a I li Ip.rn tait evader. It is not exagto say that the advent of pro hibltloti sin' the passing of this art of tux t v.nkng from the hands of the original mountaineer and dry' county t<o.i>tb-gger Into the, hands of other* jir- stiii ibly mote respectable But let ito one tell you that prohiii tior, ih.hu- th? gangster. America bad gangsters Just as vicious as pres ~ ent-day gangsters long before the dry era dawned as a national condition What prohibition did was to finance tl> . n •■ t through making the r • til time business of bootlegging a national industry. The notorious old ■ Hudson I msters” of New York, were n - They plundered and pillaged; jj.cy fought and brawled. But they wire constantly In trouble with the r ThtH - rved a goodly portion of their livles In the penitentiary for c»mpiirMtlv|tv minor offenses They were. In. the language of the gay nineties ' bums." They had no political Induenye. they controlled no prof liable commercial activities, and they Utterly la< lied Influence in the courts I’ri.ihlbiti'on changed that. With a n item ami-Jeniy gone drink-minded a s ? . ..f '-.npply was necessary. The (•<-.-ng a naturally-inclined < rim i! undertook to supply Illicit l> Suddenly he supplies) it In Im trable quantities for immea* - urahle thiiVi < ; ry; none of his criminal pro ien*it ; none of bis stropg-ami ‘ 'operation. He merely be came r ■ !i. and riches are pow er. , It quickly developed that thi great metropolitan areas wanted liquor and would pay well for It. It naturally followed that no one was particularly Interfiled tn enforcing an unpopular law The danger of prosecution was • danger of arrest was mighty The difference is graft. ? A bootlegger caught plying hfs trade ■ could pay his "legal fee" In advance -to t! _• Officer Instead of to tin- court. This made him immune, prosecution was nothing but persecu ’ .add persecution was little ri.oiigli so long as you pasaed its cost . along to the consumer of booze. - V ' rolhsl tri: F‘etty gangster# j - .o,t |,(-cause the tioolleggihg business attracted cute lawyers in sear, h of great fee*. Their ability to .I -H: s iia I more far reaching results . It attracted to. bootlegging competing ster*. Tlo-y were Still gutter rats; still thugs; still human vermin as con - i " as serpent*. They brought to the commerce their usual commercial methods: blackjacks. brass knuckles, pistol*, finally machine gut BooH.-ggtng became a mighty business with mighty profit*. It way a -o-uple toisint's. easy to learn. A hrauny arm. a stultified character and a gulden understanding were worth millions The whole thing grew with almost magical Speed. The only fundamental change tn>the old time gangster , was ■th.- 'THug of him from the status of an ; . \ rnt with a blackjack and a sweater to a bouievardler with a bout> ; rc and a limousine, t’nder the seat of the limousine was a machine gun. In the tmckground was a shy st. r i.iwxer with a habeak corpus and a venal judge living on tpe fat of the, land through bootleg bribes. , Now the change. Sentiment 1* rout lug prohibition. If It passes, the United State* will have an array of the most murderou-t bandits of modern time without "work." No more the end lek* stream of gangrenous gold; longer the overflowing coffers of beer and ISON well*; no more the “alky-cook Ing” millions which offered profits of l.Ow per cent a drink and sold for anywhere, from 15 Cent* to two dollars a gulp. That is gone. Inevitably the gangster reverts to his old statu*. But here Is the chronic and acute angle: he 1* now a gangster accustomed to ten-course dinners, star sapphires and peaked lapels. Platinum blond* occupy a definite and indispensable place in hi* life. .He uses limousines, present* diamonds, contributes to elections. He ba* a* sumed an Immense political power through the information he has on venal officials now Is office. He has learned to operate without murdering anything but competition. Is It to be expected that the repeal of a single law will change this yegg? Not for a second. The problem, then. Is simple. Without bootleg revenues where will tee turn? What wIU he do? How will he operate? What of all his luxuries? On be keep up the pace without turning to crimes of violence? Let me say right here that be cannot. The record* of the last few months prove thia. Kidnaping* have assumed front-page position In the new*. Rackets fill In with less sensational but just as incredible advice* of the predatory operation* of these thug*. American business pays the price. Those who know their underworld

know bootlegging has not been the big-shot operation for some fourteen month*. It got so tt cost too much to fix murder trial*, square "raps” and operate within the bounds of profit But bootlegging has taught the power of the legal technicality. Gangster* formed corporations and as such preyed upon business under the protection of the law. Shysters reaped a harvest by directing sabotage. Intimidation and monopoly enforced by the machine gun and bomb. Today literally billions of dollar* are being extracted by the scalpel of force In the band*, of murderous thugs who were spawned in the gutter, who throve In the slums of thought and grew to the distortions of bribery, malfeasance and organized corruption.

People ask if the bootlegger will turn to crimes of violence with the passing of prohibition. The answer is frightfully simple He already has. In the upper crust of the underworld today bootleggers are as scarce as Hot tentot* In the United State* senate. Bootlegging no longer pay* People are wise to price*. Competition is too broad. Attempted enforcement has waned, thus, increasing the ease of distribution of liquor. The enforce ability of law has been made doubtful In the mind of the professional .crim Inal. That goes for ail law. not just prohibition As a result, he Is still riding In tils limousine. The commercial racket Is simple In operation. So the passing bootlegger operate* It. In most large cities the cleaners are “organized." So. tow. with the laundries, the window clean ?rs ; the dyers, the poultry markets, the garage*, the fruit dealer*, the Ice cream dealers.• the trucking compan les. Space doe* not permit enumera tlon of all the commercial and Indntrial activitle* which have fallen un der the spell of th!* onetime alleyrat called the gangster. New York City disclosed recently a ’ “poultry racket” that paid Its opera tors some sixteen millions a year. How did it operate? Intimidation. Pure and simple, alone and unaided, in stead of a diplomatic note, bombs were placed tn office*, freight *ta tlon* and *tore«. In place of sales letters, machine gun bullets whined their expressive and usually conclusive message. Force. “Pay u*. or we ll blow up your plant,- murder your wife, kidnap your children ” The business of the racket 1* Just as widespread today a* the business of th? bootlegger wai three years ago. Thl* Is not a comforting condition. On the other hand it is not half so bad as it sound* Put In a nut shell, the business of the gangsters before prohibition was cheap and bar - ardous because Its revenue* were Insufficient to pay for protection The« crime of violence never in history has proven profitable. Crime is safe only when protected by vena) police or courts. That pro tectlon is a commodity not offered at inferior price*. So violent crime Is stupjdlty. In Its very essence tt is failure Successful crime must be profitable on a great scale, to pay bribes, nur rtire corruption and hire akllled tavv yers; Footpads cannot do j that. Nel ther can burglars, robber*, petty thieves and the like. The gangster who became the bootlegger must now again become the gangster because he pas never changed except In purse He is the same old beetlebrow .will a few new Ideas conceived In bootleg gold, a few new ambitions certain to trip him up. a few confidences that will prove mantraps as his bootleg 1 revenues change Into those for which I be must resort to violence. There Is away and a simple way to rout the racketeer. It -involves na t lona I action. It demands a unification of protective measures that never can be subsidized by local politicians and criminals So closely are these local politicians and criminals allied that the line of demarcation between them ta often Indistinguishable. It is a deadly truth that the boot logger never could have grown as he did without political i protection be bought with bootleg money. It is a helpful truth that the passing of pro hlbltlon will enable honest officials t<> break the tie-up between thief and cop and no disrupt the so-called gang ater organisations ■ the country oVer The next few year* will see tre mendous developments tn American criminal codes and procedures. If some decent and sane social order is to survive, these development* already are appearing obvious In their de mands. . The bootlegger who ba* turned racketeer 1* on the way out. The. speed of hl* exit will be coromensu rate with the speed of the social or der in enacting simple and far-reach Ing measures for the establishment of order and the banishment of the worst criminals the United States ever has tolerated. Even now the federal government la moving against the racketeer. A senate sub-committee investigating this form of criminality has Just been assured by President Roosevelt that the full facilities of the federal gov eminent will be at the committees disposal. —, <•.

NEW VOLUME NOW AVAILABLE INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Aug. 24— A rare opportunity for students, scientific and nature clubs and public and libraries to acquire copies of a monograph on the physical and biological survey of Lake Maxinkuckee, is offered by the Indiana Department of Conservation. A limited number of sets of this twovolume work are being sold at a price of one dollar per- set. The monograph was published by the conservation department in 1920 following a period of thirteen years required for the compilation of the data. It is an especially ' valuable work because Lake Miaxinkuckee is typical of thousands oj lakes in the glaciated regions of North America and because many of the species and conditions reportejd are already rapidly disappearing.
