Tense said il was not. and claimed
that unlicensed persons could per-
form it for hire without violating any

plaintiffs attorney requested the
court to direct verdict for $50, which

The Woodstock Age rises to re-
mark that this paper is wrong when
it says that the present Improbable
befogging discussion will leave the
prohibitory law just where it is.
That's right. 1t was Il misstatc-
ment. The law won't be left where
it is. 1t will he changed. II will
be strengthened and it will be ably,
PERSISTENT. and continuously en-
forced. The people don't want higl,
license, low license. They want
prohibition and want it enforced,
and will compel its enforcement
where it is now laN.-Ilar,lwick
Gazette.
The prohibtorv law has never yet
been enforced. hut if the Gazette
can find any encouragement to that
end in the public and private express
sions of opinion of the past year or
two it is welcome to all the comfort it
can get. We get little. The law is
not enforced. and to nothing except
public sentiment can this fact bc at
tributcd. SO far as we can see. The
law is to he strengthened and per-
sistentlv enforced, says the Gazette,
but how. when and where: 1t is
not altogether to be condemned, but
why not have Il law that is sustained
by public sentiment and one that can
be enforced.
