These are for drunkenness and dis
turbance. Few Of the former are talk
en into court. The chief informs ne
that it is his opinion that not more
than SO per cent of the cases of in
toXication in the city result in ar
rests.
In view OF these facts the question
arises az to the cause. It is the Opin-
ion Of those who have made impair
tial investigation that the vile distill
ed liquor which is sold in violation IF
law. and which cannot be suppressed
produces more intoxication and degra-
Gation than any amount Of malt liq-
uor. II is our experience that open
times. with ale and beer dispensed is
satisfactory. When more stringent
enforcement is the policy the court re-
cords show alarming increases.
Politics alone prevent the annihil1-

1t is a gross insult to the intelli-
gence Of the voters of this county to
have masquerade before them the
conditions of prohibition sections in
light which they do not exist. in order
TO deceive those whom they believe to
be ignorant as 10 the real conditions
as they truly are. l repeat. it is an
insult to their intelligence. and every

ception should be arrested, convicted

held up Maine as AN example for

That just gives the situation in Port
