N-E.AKN NESS OF MAN.

THEs WEAKNESS OF MAN.
 Our latest scandal of national inn portance, the attempt to prove that certain agents of the Department of Justice have been inullentlal In sccur- ing protection for places where liquor is sold during the wartime prohibit tion ban. is setting the tongues of all awagging and eventually will result in wholesale disclosures of graft, unless We arc greatly SurpriScd Mans weakness, his liability to fail before the lure of gold, makes, itself evident in many ways and there is seldom A lack of interest in the why's and whcreCOrCs of d graf case in which government employees arc concerned In addition the prohibition movement is moro or less close to ali of us, and the Sccming case with which it has been possible to sell liuuor in various places, of which most of us know, has caused much conjecture as to the lime when someone was going to 'sUucal.' Man-fashion, therC haS been no at tempt to prevent the sales by those who wish their drinks and very little said upon the outside about where they may be obtained

 terestinG statements, and they are statements of which the truth is moro or less obvious, according to our fla milarity with the 1airs of Demon Rum. He claims that therc is d sys- tenn in New York city which is obtain- ing immunity for certain bars and restaurants. and that many persons prominent in political and civic cir cleS are responsible.
 The prohibition act as we have felt its effects so far is great deal of a Joke in many places. Liquor is sold not quite as openly as formerly, but it sold. nevertheless, and the spectacle of one who has imbibed too freely is not an unusual sight upon the streets ot any city. The pcculiarity Of it is that it is becoming more and more common to see drunken man, rather than to note one as an exception. This would indicate that the saloon keep CTS are gradually finding out methods by which they may sell their wares In, ,Ji {nl> r@I
 July, when the law become operative, the places were closed up very tight. Now there are more of them in opera tion.
 William J. Flynn, chief of the De- partment of Justice agents, has not minced matters in d declaration of the thorOuShneSS of the system. "We have barely scratched the surface" he been shown that hundreds of thou sands of dollars must have been paid in graft for the privilege of breaking the liquor laW.' We imagine that a statement of this kind will not be allowed to rest at that. that prosecu- tions will be made which will prove the assertion. Naturally it will be the richer and more influential class of dealers and officials who will be brought into court on the charges, as the little fellows have not the power 10 excuse the selling Of liquor or tho money to purchase the "right."
