Bishop Spalding, of Peoria, in the Forum,
takes strong ground against prohibition as n
remedy for intemperance. He asserts that
drunkenness is far less noticeable in this
country to-day than it was in the carly part
of the century, aud the wave of dissipalion
continues to recede He objects to prohibit
ton on the philosophical ground that pressure
when excessively brought to bear on any
form OF moral evil leads to other evils, and
the less the State interieres in private con.
Germs the better for all concerned.
