"Prohibition a Failure."

Robert Burdette writes: "Just now all the enemies of the Prohibition are rcrying out that 'Prohibition is a ailu're. 1 But you never hear a Prohibitionist say that. Its the fellows -who want it to fail who raise that cry. Go slow about joining that cry, my Voy. Not one -of '.the States that adopted Prohibition has repealed the | Prohibition amendment ; not one. y J)on't be in a hurry to declare any . €«asc, any movement that aims to i make bad times good and good times j "better, that aims to help men, a failure, even though you see the cause flat on its beck, both leg* broken, an<t Vita i sword arm: twisted. It isn't dead yet. Don't believe too much in fail' ures, my boy, lest you grow to be one yourself. Believe in success ; it is a be «.er watch-word, has a clearer ring to it, and a man looks and feels, and i« p -ouder and nobler, fighting for success, than when he is struggling in the tame offailnre. Don't defend; attach. Don't stop to explain and apologise for the iaults of your cause ; nsr.ntain and enforce its virtues, *You haven't tauglit me any of the parries said a young soldier to an old Prussian fencing master.' * Don't need 'em/ growled the old moustache ; * you cut ; let the other fellow parry,' That man didn't believe in failure.
