Why Graves Resigned

The change in the office of
prohibition director has been
made and Bert S. HSland of Rut-
land has succeeded. Collins M.
Graves of Bennington. Mr..
Graves resigned the position be-
cause the work is disagreeable
from every point of view. The
director has no friends. The OPP
ponents of prohibition sit up
nights to fight the director and his
agents while the friends of pro-
hibition do not back up the efforts
at enforcement and are always
grumbling because the work is not
more effective. In spite of the
difficulties the work of prohibition
enforcement has been more effec-
TIVE than could have been deem
ed possible a year ago.
During the past four weeks the
writer has visited every county in
Vermont and, except at Rutland
and two or three other points
where local conditions are bitterly
unfriendly, it is declared without

in Vermont is less than ever be-
fore.
Residents along the Canadian
border say that less than quar-
ter as much booze is being
brought in from Canada as was
coming year ago. AT the same
time the home manufacture is
gradually falling off, not so much
on account of the vigilance of the
officers as because most of the
stuff made is vile and more or less
poison and only the hardest of
hard drinkers are Willing to take
chances with it. The enforcement
officers in Vermont under Mr..
Graves have made better record
than those of most states and have
succeeded so well that much of
the rum running has been driven
out by making it Improbable. The
bootleggers, themselves, have
helped enforcement to some de-
gree by robbing each other at ev-
cry chance and by dealing mostly
in auldterated and often poisoned
liquors.
Prohibition is far from complete
yet but the evidence seems to in.
dictate that it is making progress
rather less slowly than at first
