There is already trouble about the
new prohibitory law that has been
grated upon. The state constitution,
and, strange to say, the prohibitionists
are the first to complain OF its burdens.
The churches find that under its pro-
visions they can get no wine for COM
munion services, and in one town the
Presbyterians, rather than forego their
wine, have voted to defy the law and
to defend the druggist who will supply
them. The Presbyterians are in very
poor Christian business, thus tempting
a man to break the law and practically
promising him immunity from punish
ment for 30 doing.
