Summer and though there were rumors
from time to time that its investigators
were at work in the department, they
were most vigorously denied. Although
the investigation was completed several
months ago, 1t did not become known

prohibition? Are they utterly powerless
to remove or mitigate the abomination?
BY no means. They can continue to
denounce the anti-democratic character
of the eighteenth amendment and the
enormous evil that it has inflicted on
American society. They can continue
to demand referendums on modification
and repeal. If they buy liquor they
can feel assured that they are violating
no civil law. If they make it and keep
it for their own use they need have no
fear that they are transgressing any
moral law.
"They can derive consolation and
courage from the reflection that they
are battling for fundamental democracy,
for majority rule. for the vanquishment
of fanaticism, for security against pro-
hibition of tobacco, against the Puritan
Sabbath and against all the other
tyrannies that the self-righteous and
superior sections Of our population
