The feature ot the fall meeting of the

lie first pointed out the fact is that rad
zeal prohibition, however desira BILE. Is not
a practical method Of dealing with the

prohibition has been tried in lS states IL
Is actually In force in but i've. chiefly ru-

the law is AT least open 10 debate
Another result Of scientific temper
