More or less moonshine is available, but in one small mining town which formerly bad thirteen saloons there is now only 10 per cent. as much drinking as in the old days.

But public sentiment favors the law as it stands, for fear that modification might make matters worse. EDWARD J. DILLON, Accountant, Kansas City, Mo, at the Astor— Liquor of moonshine gra@® is being sold by bootleggers in Kansas City, and lNquor can still be obtained by those who are willing to pay for it During a recent convention in my city many drunken persons were seen on the streets, These were not dele- gates but hangers-on, and thé crowds around the hotels gave evidence of | York ed the bootleggers’ industry. 1 do not we have had almost no cases of poi- sity. learman, New Or- leans, at the Majestic—Conditions in my section are Similar to those which exist everywhere.
