THE Chamber of Commerce does not present
pretty picture as it hides the special re-
port on Seattles milk supply in its files, refuses
to act on it and refuses to permit a word of its
contents to be made public.
Nothing but a craven fear of taking leader
ship in controversial public matter is assigned
as a reason for the failure to act The chamber
has come in for such strong public condemna-
ton because of its port attitude and one or two
other shortcomings recently that some of its
leaders insist it is reported, the chamber, in
spite of going part way in the milk investiga-
ton, keep out of the controversy entirely from
now on.

Even dismissing the theory of collision with Dr. Craig, the housekeeper was still open to suspicion of having guilty knowl- edge of the crime with which the girl her. self had been branded
 What had prompted the peculiar action of the housekeeper? Nothing save guilt. Nerissa told herself, unless some one she loved had committed the deed. This did not seem plausible unless there was something between Miss Wrightson and the physician. Yet the reticence of the doctor to entertain the lawyers theory could be as consistently attributed to the same cause.
 Nerissa felt herself very tragically in the dark. Nothing, she determined, would ex- plain the narrowing problem save the fore ing of confession from the woman. It seemed too late for that. Everything de- pended upon the arguments, and she had every confidence in Senator Lysle's power over jury. But even he could not make possible the impossible. And the injury to

adverse or strongly divided, the traf-
fic in alcoholic beverages has been
sometimes depressed or harassed, but
never exterminated or rendered un.
profitable. In Maine and Iowa, there
have always been counties and muni-
cipalities in complete and successful
rebellion against the law. The incl
dental difficulties created by the
United States revenue laws, and medi.
cinal demand for alcohol and the free
dom of interstate commerce have never
been overcome. Prohibition has, OF
course, failed to subdue the drinking
passion, which will forever prompt re.
sistance to all restrictive legislation.
Some Unforeseen Effects.
"There have been concomitant evils
of prohibitory legislation. The efforts
to enforce it during forty years past
have had some unlocked Off effects
on public respect for courts, judicial
procedure. oaths and law in general
and for officers Of the law. legislators
and public servants. or course there
are disputed effects Of efforts at prOhi
bition. Whether it has or has not re.
duced the consumption Of intoxicants
and diminished drunkenness is a mat.
ter of opinion, and opinions differ
widely. No demonstration on these
points has been reached. or is now at
tainable. after more than forty years
of observation and experience.
That was twenty-five years ago. In
what respects may n disinterested OBJ
server revise or affirm the statements
then made?
How Long viii II Take?
One of the first questions ! asked
President Harding when We sat down
TO talk over prohibition was whether
he believed we had reached in the last
three years a climax in federal efforts
to enforce prohibition or whether we
were in the initial stages. He replied
instantly that the fight had only begun
and i told him of the various, eSti
mates, that had been made of the
length Of time that must elapse before
matured judgment could be giver
on the question of enforcement ant
the effects of prohibition. The Presl
dent put his own estimate down al
twenty years. Chief Justice Taft il
speech not long ago thought ter
years would demonstrate. The impor
tant fact to be borne in mind is that
these public officials regard prohibi
ton as a problem Of n whole genera
ton and not a single administration
It's from that viewpoint the subject
will be discussed in succeeding dis
patches in this series.
