 Resolved: That the secretary be directed to transmit these resolutions to Chief Justice Wheeler and to New Britain's three representatives.
 Whereas, it has been a policy for many years for local judges to or der, from time to time,, certain un- desirable persons and certain nui- sanees, such as gambling machines, out of town, be it
 Resolved, that this assembly de- clare it to be better policy, more in accord with American principles. not to pass these undesirable per- sons on to other communities, for repetition of the trouble: but to dis pose of all such cases on our own ground, each according to its merits.
 Likewise, we declare it 10 be better policy not to pass on physical nuisances, such as gambling ma chimes, to other communities. h. deed, so far as gambling machines are concerned, as we read the statute, judges have no option in the matter; but, in the words of the statute, shall order same destroyed.

hard to stick to the truth and &C., euracy and not be led into error by false propaganda. Great harm can be done our cause by oyerstate- monts. and unreasoned opinion. And may we also suggest and urge that we all have such an edu- cated and intelligent conviction on the subject that we will be ready always to give reason for the hope that is within us. Have an answer ready for the scofflaw. and hand It to him with dignity which beflts the issue. We hope you all are subscribers to the regular readers Iot some good prohibition journal. Praises Liquor Squad
 There is much. to encourage us. We bear testimony that for the past two years New Britain has had an efficient liquor law enforcement po- lice force. Their work is difficult. disagreeable, and often dangerous. They need and merit our moral and active support. They are under or- ders, not administrative officers. If they are ordered to disobey the law while on duty they either disobey the law, or lose their position. They are not to be blamed if you and I, by our votes, have placed in superior office a man who has acted neither wisely or well in his appointments, and defends his appointees for do- ing unlawful acts.
 There seems to be good ground for the belief that soon a gradual shake-up of federal officials will re- suit in practically drying up the outside supplies of liquor. Beer will never come back for obvious reasons. When we secure the law requiring all private stills, as we'll as commercial stills to be licensed a very large part of the bootleg sup ply will also be cut off. And we must remember that in this problem We are dealing with the most revo- lutionary interstate measure ever incorporated into organic law, and a matter of personal indulgence so subtle. so individious. and so vitally affecting our physical and social sta- tus as to reasonably require much time to solve.

Sentiment Against Dry Law.
 ''The only way out is to enforce the law" he stated. This cannot be done because public sentiment is against it, but you can do your part by obeying the law. We want more public opinion, but there is more be- hind it than people think. We haven't yet heard from the women, most of whom were not voting when the amendment went through.
 "A hundred years ago drunkenness was almost no disgrace and certainly not a crime. Temperance societies were first formed because the clergy got drunk. In those days rum was provided by the colleges at gradu- alton time. After temperance socie- ties came laws demanding high li- cense fees and such. There was some prohibition before the Civil war, but it was underground during the war.
 We laughed when told that the West and South were going dry. But they went dry. We laughed when told that some day there would be national prohibition. But today we have it." He also spoke of the strong temperance parties in Nor way, Sweden. England and Germany, where a vail has been made that only one fourth as much alcohol is now being consumed as was before the war.
