STILLS DON'T COUNT
SAYS MR. KOHLOSS
Prohibition Director Instructs
Agents To Get the Men Who
Operate Them By Learning
Their Ways.
Raleigh, Aug. 15.—Federal
prohibition agents in a liquor
institute, so to speak, heard
Director R. A. Kohloss, Attorney
A. H. Price, both of Salisbury,
and Disbursing Agent T. E.
Whitacre, of Virginia.
Mr. Kohloss brought Mr. Price
down to interpret the law, Mr.
Whitacrft to instruct as to ex
penses, and the director himself
to lay down the law. The agent
did it with such intensity as to
move Mr. Price to an interpreta
tion of the director's talk. The
Salisbury lawyer assured the
deputies that their's is one of the
crack organizations in the United
States and the attorney had
Washington authority for his
statement.
Mr. Kohloss told the agents
that the western district gets
better results than the eastern
does. The eastern workers have
made an imposing array of
wrecked stills, but Director Koh
loss says the stills do not count.
"They are not worth a continent
al," he said. "When you go out
and destroy five stills you 'aint
done nothin.' While you are
breaking up that paraphernalia,
a smart bootlegger or blockader
is buying 10 more and there you
are. Get the men; sit up with
them; sleep in the day time as
they do and work in the night
with them. You must learn the

, habits of the liquor outlaw.
They don't generally show great
brilliance in their work, though ,
they are clever and smart. You
must out-general them.
"In the last month in the'
western district we caught 175
men and 15 automobiles. Our
officers study the way9 of the
violators and it is mighty hard to
run a machine about with
liquor in it without running into
sJThe revenue man. If you are
farming or running a store, quit
that business and go into the
business of catching these out
laws. lam happy to say that 1,
think you have done pretty well,!
but you haven't caught enough
men in the eastern part. I wantj
to see you do better.
"And I hope you won't go to (
the newspapers with department j
business. It is prohibited by the
rules. Make reports to the office.
And when you get liquor, destroy
it on the spot. Don't take it off |
in your car; don't surround your-|
self with suspicion by having'
liquor in your possession. Get!
j
your witness and pour it outj
right where you get it."
Price Compares Conditions.
Mr. Price declared that the:
agents have greatly impressed I
him. He had seen them on the |
witness stand and heard the 1
courts commend them. They,
know what is essential in testi-1
mony and have the bearing of
gocd men. These things will i
help much, he said, in getting
the government's side properly
presented.
"But we must enforce this |
difficult Volstead act sanely,'' he

siid. "VV'e must not forget that
prohibition is a very different
thing today from what it ever
was before. Our personal con
duct must be very different The
federal statute has not legislated
away the desire to take a drink.
AH the life of my father and my
self liquor has had a familiar
place on our sideboard. But I
can't take a drink in safety un
less I go to Tampa and take a
boat to Havana. Why? Because
it is against the law to have
liquor in one's possession now
and offcers must refrain from
drinking it. It goes mighty hard
with me. Iloveadiink. I wish
I had one now, but I preach
sometimes and I represent the
government and it just wouldn't
do.
"When I was in the govern
ment service as assistant United
States attorney, the conditions
then were not comparable to
what they are now. You are
doing immeasurably better than
the officers then, did. Of course, I
want to see you do your best. The
director does. But the depart
ments at Washington have told
me that this is one of the crack
organizations of the country and
that word 'crack' mean 9 the very
best."
Mr. Price warned them against
over-earnestness which might
result in trespass and in turning
public sentiment against them.
Public sentiment, he said, must
eventually settle this issue.
' That's why both parties to the
strike try so hard to win public
sentiment" he said. "Which
ever side gets it will win the
strike."
When Mr. Whitacre came to
tell about expense money, he
reminded the agents that the
government had made an enorm
ous appropriation for the state,
$200,000, and it had been neces
sary to call for additional appro
priations amounting to $50,000.
