Increasing Intemperance.—Royall E. Cabell, commissioner of internal revenue, is quoted by the New York World as saying that "there is more whisky stored in Kentucky to-day than ever before, and that the consumption of cigarets has reached a total of about a billion a month, and is still increasing. He attributes the increased smoking of cigarets to judicious advertising, the increase of whisky he attributes largely to prohibition. He reasons thus,—that in prohibition territory those who sell illicit liquor use that that is of the smallest bulk in proportion to the alcoholic content, and that therefore whisky is more easily handled than beer, ale, or wine; a bottle of whisky contains many more drinks than a bottle of any of the others, and that the whisky distillers would like to see the whole country go dry, as that would give them a monopoly of the manufacture of intoxicating beverages." It is too bad that it is so. The great trouble is that it takes sympathetic and loyal men to enforce law, and this is usually wanting in prohibition territory.
