Admitting then that conditions are greatly im- proved, should we not all hesitate before we go back again to the legalized sale of liguor for beverage purposes. Will we not be wel ad- vised to hoid fast to what we have, and endeavor to go forward, rather then try the risky oxperiment of bringing back the legalised sale of lguor?
