At the commemorative banquet in the wealthy and exclusive Bootleg Club, formerly the Metropolitan, the presi- dent, Mr. Peter Still, widely known as the Wood Alcohol King, spoke briefly of what the Golden Age of Prohibition had accomplished in raising to popular esteem callings once deemed illicit. Mr. Still was followed by Colonel Moon- shine of Tennessee, who asserted that his distilleries had not only enriched the farmers who raised the rye and corn for his consumption but had also healed the old-time breach between the distil- lers and the officers of the Federal G ernment so that both were now work- ing in perfect harmony to suppress the liquor traffic, and the vendetta was a thing of the past. Revenue Row, the Fifth Avenue block occupied exclusively by Federal agents and Custom House officers, was brilliantly illuminated in honor of Po- lice Captain Cinch, whose efforts to en- force the liquor laws have made the silk stocking district a richer field for profitable activity than the Tenderloin was in its best days. In the course of the evening’s festivities the guests were called to the windows by the shouts of the populace acclaiming a procession of the laundry wagons used in delivering family goods in packages resembling the week’s wash. | A noteworthy feature of the com- | memoration was the gala performance of the sparkling new musical comedy, which was attended by several hundred members of the drug trade. There was hearty applause for the chorus of happy Registered Addicts dancing merrily on the village green in front of the all-night drug store. We regret to announce that the ven- hokun 6 Beans} on!
