A Joint report nn Ainn luin prohi bition mado to tl. liritiKh pnrlla mnnt by two members who Kindled the situation hero contains thesr ronoliiHloiis: "The fluppression of Iho saloon It nn achievement for which tho A mart en n people on a not be (oo thankful. Prlhlbltion, however, ns wo fn this country were led to hellev l. 'prw valled, does not exist." The report HPoaks partlruhirly of the Illicit traffic In lldtior and of the home-brewing that has developed. This Is an unusually fair and con vincing summary of tho Hiiuilton, At all Intelligent Americans know, neither tho consumption of alchollc lUltior nor the traffic In liquor has been abolished. The saloon, howev er, has been abolished. In that fact nlone hulf the purpose of the prohi bition movement has been accom plished. It may also be said Kafnly that at I'-nst half the production and consumption of liquor has been abol ished. Thus prohibition stands not less than three-fourths vindicated. The standlUK is very likely higher than that, ami is not likely to become lower. THE LAWN FEU IMA"? CALLED OFP AT THE LAST MINUTE?

Some of tbeni have proper regard for tho rights und feel ings of other, as well us for law und order and. common decency in gener- ul. There Is a small proportion, how ever, who seem to think there Is no law of God nor man that they need respect when out complng or hunt ing, They are mostly youths under ago, who, by the way, should not be allowed to hunt or camp unless some older person is with I hem.
