SpiuMinl «f Naw Hamp­ shire One of the principal functions of government is to protect society from crime; to exercise what we call the police power in such a way as to pre serve order and to promote peace, hap- piness and prosperity. It is my opin ion that crime is very largely the re­ sult of the use of intoxicating liquor In so far as we can diminish the use of liquor we shall prevent and eliminate crime. I believe the best way to diminish the use of liquor is to pro­ hibit not only its sale, but alsd, in the first instance, ' its manufacture; and to that end should be directed, I think the efforts of those who earnestly and sincerely seek social betterment. sniumKLu F.
