AGE OF HYSTERIA.

Our grandfathers, and probably fu- talre ages, might wonder what stage of hysteria this country had reached when the legislatures of more than the necessary S6 states had, under the most fragrant system of lobbying and terrorism by a small minority, passed prohibition amendment to the Con- stitution; one clumsily drawn, capable of all sorts of interpretation and ab- sobutely incapable of enforcement as a federal police measure, unless the minority of our people are to keep the majority in jail and provide for their support.
 It was a statesman and not fad dist who said he would rather see a people free than people sober. The retort that "A druIkard is not free" begs the question. France and Italy are free and exceptionally sober, as every one who has lived in those countries knows. But national prohi- bition there would only excite their mirth. The logical Frenchnlan would point out that because some anti-sa loon faddiSt feels that he cannot take a drink without making a blackguard of himself, he does not thereby estaio- fish the right to dictate the personal conduct of the overwhelming majority of his fellow citizens, in ali moral re- spects, and on his own showing, more truly continent and temperate than himself.
 When this kind of fanatic says that drunkenness Is a cause of crime he puts the cart before the horse. Geor- gia, is sne of our prohibition states, with bone-dry law which makes crinznaf for medical attendant ts

 Dr. J. F. Keegan of the Emergency hospital responded to the call. He stated that no one in the house ap- peared to know much about Mrs. Freplier. He learned that she is a corset worker, employed at Warner Brothers.
 She was removed to St. Vincent's hospital, and her recovery is consid- cred doubtful She Is said to have relatives living in Springfield, Mass.

Boston, Feb. 15--A welcome awatta President Wilson at Boston in keep ing with the international importance of the mission from which he will return on Feb. 25.

It Is anticipated that thousands will flock to Boston from throughout New England, while delegations from Washington and elsewhere are expected.
 It was thought today that the gov ernors of all New England states and their staffs would be on hand to greet the President and 1t was said also that all the larger cities were like ly to send official delegations.
