Only : three Btates profess : to continue the system at present, and these are Maine, Kansas and North . Dakota. While' these Btates hav not yet repudiated ' prohibition, certainly th remedy has not proved effective. The committee of fifty says that there are 183 places in tho citv of Portland aloha where liquor is openly so'd. Policemen there take the liberty of "licensing" such plao.

Prohibition laws, (Iks all other laws, cannot be enforced eX cept as they are supported by a healthy public opinion. It is not expedient to ' try to enforce prohibition laws upon n . town whose people do not endorse ths : system.

Watts and Ward laws are far better -thnn a uniform prohibition law. Cer tainly prohibition could not be enforc- , ed In certain places. These :, placea , would bring the whole system Into dls ,'' to prove their adequacy. DOft't do any- thing Just now which,' if it ; tailed, " would set back our present temperance -, movement a quarter of . a century.
