The liquor habit bos fastened Itself on mnnv per sons and under tlie circumstances the acceptance of the new order has been more general than was expected, net-niu. Another factor in the tight to keep the saloon alUe. said Illshop llerrv, is Its alliance with professional politicians. Another point is that there are many persons of foreign birth In this country who came from countries where there wns no prohibition sentiment nnd who look on the lnw as Interference with personal liberty.
