He looked grave and said "That
would be,a very difficult matter.

has such a strong basis as a re-

It is my humble belief that the
day is fast coming, in fact it is
already here, when patriots such
as Capt. Hobson will take full cog

liquor traffic and class it among
the nations grave perils. They
have not all come to see it yet,
