Let me say at once am one OF
those whose hope and wish 1t 10 to
find that this gallant struggle to rid
great country Of the slavery OF
alcoholism is being crowned with
success. The attempt to convince
the public that drugs have taken
the place OF alcohol has failed and,
I believe justly failed. to convince.

On the other hand, / have been
assured that though there IL Ger
tainly less drinking on the whole,
there is actually more among the
small class OF the rich. / am told
that this il made possible BY
deliberate defiance of the law and
corruption Of its agents. The fact
that this defiance is made posi-.
