JUDGE FOR YOURSELF Serves Them Right To the Editors of Jvvcr: T have been a constant reader of your magazine for some time and I must say if your magazine is the World's Wittiest Weekly, then the day of clean wit has past. The main purpose of your weekly seems to be one of ridicule for all laws. You knock Prohibition at every turn. In y issue of January 9 you say that in New York Cit more than 600 people died last venr from bootleg liquor. Man is a rather thick-headed ani They (referring to men of your opinion) are too dense to see that the old way of sousing with good bonded liquor is bad for themselves and their wives and families, and are too one sided on this personal liberty scrap to sce that drunkards de- serve to have laws telling what to drink and what not to drink. Anyone who has so little respect for the laws of his country as to drink bootleg liquor deserves little better than the fate of the 500 to w h you referred. If the conditions of our country you paint them, perhaps you may find comfort, peace, and, if it please you, personal liberty under some ‘other flag. As for me, think I'll remain loyal to the laws and statutes of my native land, and I'm satisfied that the country’s getting better Yes, I can still enjoy some of your jokes und cartoons, but I'm sick of your “Judge on the Bench ustedly, Pittsburgh, Pa.

It is indeed strange that otherwise sensible men and women will agitate racial prejudice and re ligious strife, by trying to compel uniformity of belief in a land that was founded largely for religious and political freedom.
