"a very curious reaction is the at
titude of the people after they got
national prohibition" he said. 1.-THE
stage was auspiciously set for spleu-
did action, but an unexpected psy-
chology caused the withdrawal of the
old skilled actors of this great drama
and left the stage to amateurs and
a few monologists.
1.-THE great forces of social reform
that had worked so successfully for
temperance along educational lines,
instead of grasping this great OPP
portunity for a steady forceful ad-
vance to overwhelming success, APP
parently felt that their battle was
already won, and ceased their efforts.
Everybody looked to Washington
and placed the responsibility for law
enforcement upon the federal gov
eminent, and, unfortunately for the
laws success, the federal government
was accepting this responsibility.
But while the citizens generally
accepted the idea that the federal
government should be responsible
for the enforcement of the law, they
nevertheless inherently resented this
exercise of police power on the part
of the federal agents within their
own COMMUNITIES as affecting their
own individual privigeles.
I'm the large cities the criminal
classes turned from their own pre-
carious livelihood of safe cracking,
loft robberies, etc, to this much more
lucrative and far less dangerous pro-
fession of Bookkeeping. Innumerable
citizens, under the present prevail
ing urge for easy money, turned
from lawful pursuits to engage in
this lucrative business. 1t is even
reported that farmers in certain To-
calities are now measuring their
corn crops in gallons, rather than in
bushels.
Meantime the criminal traditional
fear of offending the federal author
| tiles was rapidly turned by expert
ence in the slowness and uncertain
ty of punishment to a contempt for
this same federal authority"
General Andrews asserted. how
ever, that the administration was
making progress against this situa-
ton.
Andrews said he would ask the
next congress to enact legislation
permitting better control Of medicine

In answer to q recent inquiry
the Bureau of Animal Industry,

lowing opinion: Tuberculosis Is re-
garded as dangerous in any ami

bacilli from the mouth, nose, or
the excretory organs infects the
barnyard dust which may settle

the most common causes OF its
