done, and inclosing a check for twenty
seven dollars commission. This story
throws light on the curious circum-
stances already referred to, that, as
the prohibition movement spreads, the
consumption of liquor increases.
Ex-President Eliot of Harvard sums
up the whole case against prohibition
in it's effects on the social and political
life. He says: "The efforts to en-
force it (prohibition) during forty
years past have had some unlocked
for effects on public respect for courts,
judicial procedure, oaths and law, leg
islatures and public servants. The
public have seen law defed, whole
generation of habitual law-breakers,
schooled in evasion and shamelessness,
courts ineffective through fluctuations
of policy, delays, perjuries, negligences
and other miscarriages of justice, off
GERS of the law double-faced and mer-
cenary, legislators timid and insin-
cere.' Such is the character and the
record of prohibition.
The writer Of the present article
does not wish to minimize the evils
and abuses that have been allowed to
grow up and intrench themselves in
the liquor traffic. There is no doubt
that some liquor dealers have con-
doned and encouraged conditions repug-
nant to moral sense and destructive of
decency and good order. They have
encouraged other vices, such as
