The terrible feature of the whole thing was the fact that when the men were discharged from prison penniless they promptly became "repeaters."

Interruptions to the orderly consideration of the drug evil ranged from such extraneous matters as the drink evil and the Esmond case. The refusal to bear a speech by Mr. W. C. Brown, on the grounds that he was not the representative of any special organization, was among the topics ruled out of order.

The convictions were: 1 9 1 650; 1920, 720; three months of 19:10, 217; a progressive increase which caused expressions of horror on the part of the audience.
