Ferocious by Nature

"WHEN people speak of a place where liquor is sold without a license, what name do they use? Do they call the place a blind sheep or a blind goat? — No; they call it a blind tiger. They name it after an animal that is ferocious by nature. They know the nature of the saloon. Well, if a tiger were after my boy, I would rather have it a blind tiger than one which could see. Wouldn't you? If a tiger is blind, you must look it up. If it can see, it can look you up. The man who sells without a license must dodge around and keep himself concealed. The licensed saloon plants itself in the most conspicuous place, and sends out its invitation to all."
THE man who violates the liquor laws is not a Republican or a Democrat, but a criminal.
