It’s Hard To Best
I have the deepest sympathy for
my good friend. Mayor. Tom Robins,
and the highest admiration for him
for his attempts-to clean up our fair
city. that is make it more expensive
for liquor sellers to sell liquor.
My impression. founded on long
experience. is that whenever you
try to do something for your fellow
citizens. said fellow citizens turn
against you. lience years ago. I
quit the reform game. Sentinel news
story informed me last evening
Mayor was summoned as defense
witness in liquor case trial. Can you
beat that?

they'd consult Peter to clear up the
matter. I know where Conrad is.

that he does not conceive it as

permit poisoning of citizens to

government chemists soon will be
able to denature- aleohol so that
it, will be too distasteful to drink
other than too poisonous.
