Gals blandly say it is none of their

come dlsorderly Oh Sunday. On other
days the 500 illegal sellers do business

The state of affairs under q $500

rect connivance of the officials. The

and the police authorities. Specific
charges are made in the dispatch, Civ
ing names and particulars to substan-
tiate what is said.
The following extract sets forth WV
idly the details of the complete failure
OF the boosted Brooks law in that great
Republican city:
=. These speak easies" exist in every Sec
ton OF the town and county. Some OF them
are IN private residences and others in
cigar stores. houses OF ill-fame. drug stores,
candy shops. boarding houses, restaurants,
ana even in tho shantv boats that line the
river front along the Monongahela, Ohio,
ana Allegheny: They are served by the
brewers and wholesalers in secret. In the
sun hours OF the night the owl wagon" as
IL IS called. may be seen making the deliy-
cry rounds. Not a few humble families
serve beer at SO much per glass to friends
and neighbors who may happen in of an
evening or Sunday. There are also many
drinking clubs where liquor is dealt out on
the check system-a member receiving so
many checks as receipt for the payment
OF dues" each check being good for a
drink. The 50 licensed saloon keepers
look upon this spectacle from afar with
complacency. They have all the business
they can attend to, and are glad to see the
overflow go elsewhere. At many OF the
saloons Of an evening or Saturday the bar
IS crowded with attendants behind and
thirsty citizens in front. People have to
wait their turns for drink. and sometimes
the lam extends out upon the pavement
me legallzed saloon-keeper can therefore
afford to observe the law strictly himself
and not worry about his less fortunate
neghbor.
Pittsburgh is not the only city where
the officials connive to make the Brooks
law perfect farce. In Philadelphia
the unlicensed places are multiplying,
and the illegal traffic is carried on
with particular fagrancy on boats in
the river.

THE MASK REMOVED.
Gr}at Increase of Arrests for Drunkenness
i'll Philadelphia.

III Inilaieipnla.
Our Philadelphia prison report
show that there We're 400 more COM
miments to the county prison during
July than there were during the CORE
spending month last year, and this as
the result of crimes due to intoNication.
The reports of the police lieutenants
OF the several districts show a CORE
spending increase i'll the number Of ar
rests. This, it is affirmed, is owing to
the increased use of Intoxicating drinks.
1t would be amusing, if it were not
sad, to see how the daily papers ac-
count for this increase in intoxication
and crime. They actually attribute it
to the decision of the Supreme Court
relating to wholesale licenses! AS that
decision was given only a few weeks
ago the statistics show that the in
crease in drinking and crime began
just after the election in June
and before the decision was
promulgated or could have had
any effect. That decision produced
an effect before it was given and when
few if any anticipated that it would be
given! Such is the position of these
daily papers. They must, however,
stand by high license. 1t does not
seem to occur to them that before the
election it was necessary to produce
the impression that wonders were be-
ing wrought by the Brooks bill. 70
secure this impression the liquor-deal-
ers were in measure cautious, and those
whose business it was to make arrests
for drunkenness We're cautious also.
Hence there was large diminution in
the cases OF drunkenness, or at least in
arrests therefor. Had this not been
the case the Prohibitory amendment
could hardly have been defeated. As
soon as it was defeated the restraint
was taken away, and now we are reap
ing the legitimate results of high
license.
There probably never was more liquor
sold at any time in this city OF more
drunkenness than since the election in
June. The decision of the Supreme
Court has not had time to have had
any appreciable effect. 1t is the
legitimate working of the boosted
Brooks High License law.-Philadel-
phiG Christian Instructor.

Mrs. Frank Allingham writes as fol-
lows from Benedicta, Me-, to the New
York Toice: II have been much in
terested by reading the reports from
various localities in this State on the
Prohibition question. 1 notice many
report no open saloon in their vicini-
ty. 1 really cannot discriminate be-
tween the harm that is done by an
open saloon with it's sign and a not
open saloon that everyone knows
about, and where there are no restric-
tions. That there are plenty of such
places no one can deny, and they are
by no means confined to this locality.
Nearly every night for the past
week when the stage came into town it
was loaded in part with drunken men
just off the drive. Where did they
get their liquor if not in one of the not
open saloons?' / have lived in Aroos-
took County for nearly four years, and
my knowledge been one effort to en- n
force the State law in this vicinity, but
there have been several arrests by the

without license. If the State law
were enforced as we'll, 1 think there
would be less annoyance from the sale
Of liquors.
"The law is good, but it is the lack
of enforcement that causes the trouble.
The United States officials are persist
ent and unhinching in their attempts
to enforce the law. [ wish I could say
the same for our State and county Off
GERS. There are many people in both
parties who would be glad to see ma
