Let It Become a Law

At the present time a bill is pending before the national Congress, known as the “Gillett bill, H. R. 10,924,” providing that — “any person or corporation that shall knowingly consign, export, or transport any rum or other intoxicating drink from the United States to any state or province or district of Africa; or shall in any way participate knowingly in such consignment, exportation, or transportation, shall be punishable by a fine of not less than fifty dollars and not more than one thousand dollars for each and every original package so consigned, exported, or transported; and liquors so consigned, exported, or transported shall also be forfeited.”
For long years liquor has been the great foe of Africa, and it is to be hoped that this bill will become a law.
