The New York Herald has bee: giving us a series of articles on th results of prohibition after twi years of trial. In one of these arti cies it is stated that the consuaptioi f liquor has been decreased seven ty per cent, and that there has been i noticeable decrease in the numbe: f crimes growing out of the use o: liquors and a noticeable decrease in the number of cases of insartitj due to intemperance. Nobody ever expected that prohi bction would entirely prohibit th< drinking of intoxicating liquori any more than people exepect the la\* against larceny to keep thieves fron stealing. Those who have been Te sponsible for the passage of prohibi tion legislation, we believe, shoulc be encouraged by the two yeari showing. The people of this countrj have been for years a liquor-drink ing people: The taste for liquor ha; been cultivated in so many people and it is so easy to break the law that it must seem remarkable tha' we have had a seventy per cent, re duction in the amount of liquor con sumed in the United States. But the cause for greatest encour agement comes in the fact that w< have decreased insanity and' crim< resulting from liquor-drinking. It i: in these figures that the people wh< waHa nrohibition mav find groun< for real comfort. It is from these fig urea that they will take courage ti / -go onward in the fight to rear a gen oration of people who do not drinl liquor and thereby to still greatl; lower the percentage of those whi suffer as a result of the liquor habit 19*1? i . C'.P.- v JUSTICE MARION. nru~ ? J ? t 1UC lliCllUS VI u^llt AU. JJ. A#VU4M*U f Anderson, are keenly disappoint ed that he was not elected to the po sition of Justice of the Suprera Court. The disappointment, however is one growing out of friendshi] alone, because wherever he is known the newly elected Justice J. Hardii Marion is believed to measure up ti the high standard which the peopt require of a member of our highes court. Educated at the University, i graduate of the law department o that institution, Justice Marioi came to the bar while still a men youth. He has given to the study o the law more than' a quarter of i century of untiring industry,. an< has won his place among the firs lawyers of the' commonwealth. Th( jejfjsjature is to be commended fo: taking so admirable a selection. Drink Own Breath V . ... Washmtgo*, Jan 13?If you ar< thirsty, drink your own breath. An invention that it was clai?e< would make this possible was ?rge< upon Congreea today by C W Arm. -korst, of Albany N Y, its inventor.

According to the inventor, a ehip wrecked sailor would only have t attach the contrivance and breath and he would not suffer for lack o drinking water.
