Grogy after the defeat of their
fdry" cause prohibitionists kept
quiet for almost six months,
gathering tfcair strength in the
meantime.
Now they are again in full
cry at least here in Youngstown.
They claim that the state ad
ministration of th$ liquor ,trade
III crooked.
They claim thftt tin old saloon
•fcbacku, ....
?They claim that not only is
old saloon back, but the
bootlegger is also doing business
at the old stand.
It is about time that this farce
ty ended.
The decent saloon of pre
Ijtfohibition days, strictly con
trolled and supervised by the
police was a far better place
than the modern restaurant
saloon or beer garden.
^The present evil will not end,
4fetil the entire liquor handling
•ystem is changed.
The state monopoly will not
#©rk unless prices are reduced.
'.It would be far better to li
cense rectifiers and wholesalers
«&ain.
The restaurant-saloon must
go and a strictly controlled
liquor license law provided.
As long as men are men, some
4B|0n will crave drink.
,Prohibition did not cure the
"fSaving and naturally it did not
•top drinking.
Abolishment of prohibition has
lead us into more "noble ex
periments". Away with them.
The experiments are proving
*|e present system a failure.
The liquor question is with
us again. It is a problem^ but
not as the drys would have it
to restore prohibition. The pro
blem is the coirect handling of
liquor.
A systeni? devoid of graft,
qhiseling, political influence must
be devised. The bootlegger must
be erradicted.
s Let us hope Ohio will find a
*%ay.

ills brought about by prohibition
and argue that for this reason
prohibition should be restored.
We are not supposed to have
1&loons, and yet we have them.
The restaurant provision of the
|pv is a farce.
When we had saloons they
Had to close at midnight. Now
they close when they please.
When we had saloons they were
closed on Sundays now alleged
restaurant part of the saloon is
open on Sundays and so are the
lier gardens.
The interior of saldotts in the
ok! days was open to public
inspection, no screens were
allowed- TJhe modern saloon is
equipped with booths, dim lights,
screens and curtains.
„The bootlegger is still with us
because thtf modern saloon
keepers pay so much license fees
arid so rrrach for liquor that
prices are necessarily high,
jffeople can't afford the prices.
They want to drink. The boot
^pger does the business.

INCREASING RAPIDLY
The Verhovay Aid Assoc. Rr.
364 seems to have a difficult job
in getting all its members to
gether to come to a meeting at
the same time, even to elect its
permenent officers which has been
held up for the past three meet
ings because there wasn't enough
members to.vote.
The present members and any
one wishing to join are asked to
be present at the next meeting
which is to be held at the W. S.
Magyar Home on Thursday eve
ning at 7:30 P. M., June 7,1934.
At present the club has 56
members to its credit, with more
new members wishing to join
every day.
The Baseball team played its
first practice game last Sunday
with the Campbell Camel branch
365 and came out on top the
home team with a score of '7
runs and Camel 1 run. It plays
a regular game t|u^ Sunday at
Campbell.
this is but a beginning and the
team is getting better and better
every day by the looks of things
the boys will surely bring that
trophy home.
