taken for an eulogy Of the good re-
suits Of prohibition, we hasten to ex-
plain their origin. Some time ago

cities which had adopted it, and trav-

and being an avowed enemy of pro-
Inhibition, he proceeded to write an ar
ticle emphasizing the failure of pro-
hibition TO prohibit Fairness how
ever, for. which he Is to be commend
ed. constrained him to make the ad-
missions copied below, which abso-
.lutely nullify all the varied expressions

mendation from an honest enemy.
