Grove improvement oper-

Since the publishers last

from his present bonds he
would in some mysterious
way turn gentleman. Or,
in other words, that if only
the eighteenth amendment
were taken out of the con-
stitution, the lawless element
of the country would cease
to be lawless.
1t is purely a fallacy.
The lawless element of the
nation will continue to be
lawless until they are made
to realize that lawlessness
doesn't pay. Grant light
wine and beer, and they will
specialize in stronger drinks.
Grant unrestricted manu-
facture and sale of whiskey,
and they will make a racket
of it any way. They have
rackets in everything al
ready. Yielding ground to
the lawless element will
never stop their lawless-
ness. The one cure that will
succeed is an awakened
public conscience and firm
enforcement of all laws
