Now we have reach- ed a stage when Congress, if it still declines to foot a law which gives the country a taste of the tyranny to which it must submit and the penalties it must inflict if it intends to make Pro- hibition the chief business of the Government. To have come even this far out of hypocrisy toward an honest facing of the facts is progress. Congressmen coming home from foreign parts should put their souvenirs in unbreakable bottles. —(Boston Transcript.)
