rather hopeless to expect much help from
this direction in temperance reform?
In New Jersey a Republican legislature
has inst defeated a very mildly restrictive
local option law In Rhode Island Il
Republicau legislature has appoint
/ ed at the head of the state con
stabulary one who is VIGOROUSLY
fitted only to break down the enforcement
/ of the law. Resolutions and promises on
the Republican tree have bloomed beauti
| ful and abundant as apple blossoms in
/ Nav but they have too seldom borne any
fruit. Laws have been enacted, and at
that point party action has ceased. Too
many LEGISLATORS and officials all over our
land are like that one at Montpelier, who
was equally conspicuous in voting for pro-
hibition and getting drunk, who declared
that he was Gin favor Of the law, but
again it's enforcement ~ Resolutions help
no party and hurt no saloon If they did,
how purified our State capital ought to
be- Prohibition on paper alarms no rum
seller; it is prohibition in practice which
they dread "The Republican party YOU
saw, more than ever, is disposed to be
come the ally of the temperance cause, SO
far as LEGISLATION is Concernedn That
last clause was well added But there are
increasing numbers VINO want an ally in
enactment. AS well as in legislation. Rum
