...enough encouragement from either the students as a whole or the authorities at the head of it. In this regard it certainly does not represent the best thought of the country. But this should not deter us who have convictions of the iniquity of the liquor business from putting forth our best efforts while here to thoroughly equip ourselves for our side of the fight which has already begun...
