Blind Tiger Law Aids Prohibition Enforcement
The blind tiger law strengthens prohibition by targeting illicit liquor sales in dry areas. It preserves penalties and remains effective even where county option laws exist, aiding municipalities and the state in recovering lost revenues from bootlegged alcohol.
Outlaw Liquor Trade and Dry Movements Across Cities
The piece argues that illicit liquor sales thrive where authorities tolerate blind tiger venues and urges a crusade against Chicago street resorts and north Fort Wayne clusters. It cites Clark county Ohio shifting to dry law and Springfield’s shift toward abstinence, linking race riots and industrial decay to anti saloon sentiment. It also notes King Peter I’s abdication woes and a dubious Hamburg liner Roosevelt assassination tale with unclear motives.
