The Adult department of the Bap-
fist Sunday school had the privilege
of having Judge Atchley of Water
vile speak to them last Sunday morn
ing on temperance. His talk was
plain, convincing and to the point. He
said prohibition does not prohibit, as
no law prohibits, but it restraints. Pro-
hibition is not a failure. 1t restraints
and is a success. In 1912 in Water
willie there were 61S arrests for drunk
enness. This report was far enough
back to be free from war influence. In
1924 there were 60 arrests for drunk
enness and shows great improve
ment in the conditions of Waterville.
AS Judge Atchley's address was that
of one whose statements of the result
of the prohibitory law is from first
hand knowledge and experience it was
most encouraging from its optimistic
standpoint.
