No License Laws Of
Little Value Unless
Rigidly Enforced
By E. TENNYSON SMITH, =
English Temperance Advocate

\ LTHOUGH | think the Unit
~ ed States was never more
ready for national mo IL
cense," its enforcement Will be an
interesting problem. There is one
great trouble with Americans. When
they pass law, particularly after
much agitation, they are toe content
+ to rest on their laurels. Really, the
xSEkshas just then begun.
NO LAW HAS ANY STRENGTH,
MORALLY OR LEGALLY, THAT Is
NOT PROPERLY CARRIED OUT.
IT'S ENFORCEMENT is THE
STANDARD BY WHICH 1T MUST
BE JUDGED.
The American people are splen-
didly educated on matters of re-
form. They do not lack initiative
in obtaining reforms, but they do
appear to be little too lenient,
perhaps Indifferent, in the enforce
ment Of their reform laws.
PROHIBITION rs NOT A
FAILURE IN YOUR PROHIBI-.
TION STATES. 1T is THE
PEOPLE WHO PASSED THE
LAW THAT ARE A FAILURE.

AS TO TEACHING LITERATURE


If there is any justification (and
we think under some conditions there
is little) for making literature an
academic subject and for handling it
on the same basis on which mathe-
mates and chemistry can so admira-
bly, be handled, we presume that
justification resides in the belief that
the young persons who are set to
picking authors works to pieces
will derive from the pursuit a cor
rect standard for Judging thought,
form, and diction and definite
preference for what is correctly rated
the best. This is a rather heavy SEN
tence by which to convey the idea
that pupils in literature classes
should learn to know and like what
is good in the literary art,
One of the surest ways to defeat
this purpose of improving the taste
of pupils is to direct their attention
to and require their study of what is
meretricius in FORM in diction, or in
thought We do not believe that a
ed by keeping the minds of young
persons focused on what is filthy in
thought and filthy in expression. We
believe that the most certain as well
as the quickest, way to secure de-
teTioration in taste is to present for
pupils consideration those indecent
and shocking pieces of writing in |
which some of the finest of writer's
have at some time or other thought it |
clever or have found it natural to in
dulge.
There are passages of Chaucer and
of Shakespeare which can serve no
good end in college or high school

of clean. fine, wholesome writing on
which the attention should be con-
ceBtrated 1t is lamentably true that
today there is group of dashlng
young chaps in England who are
writing poems and stories and plays
from which mind of natural decency
would turn in disgust. These same
men are producing some excellent
work In the case of young persons
