 CONVICTION IMPOSSIBLE

In connection with the plight of the Anti-Saloon league Commissioner Kram- CT makes public figures which prove that juries in Pennsylvania. New Jersey and Delaware will not convict save only when the evidence is self-evident or admitted. According to MT. Kramer. in those states from January 16 to October l, 2,500 pro- hibition arrests were made. There were only 193 convictions Evidence was in abundance as indicated by the fact that 25, ,092 gallons of liquor were seized and submitted as proof of allegations.
 And thus the Anti-Saloon league is too busy with it's own linen to attempt to wash that of the International Reform league But the latter organization is not discouraged because of the chilly reception accorded it, and declares that inasmuch as it's cause is just, in the end it must overcome all difficulties and make the world a worthy place in which to live.
