[Letter in Boston (Mass.) Herald and Journal]

There is a good deal of talk going around to the effect that our men at the state house did a foolish thing when they voted to ratify the resolution for national prohibition.

Can anyone read the following figures, which I myself got from the police records of Boston, and continue to call closing the saloons foolish, weak, an outrage, etc.? Arrests for drunkenness in Boston on Mondays with saloons open: Jan. 7, 154; Jan. 14, 129. On "dry Mondays": Jan. 21, 50; Jan. 28, 18; Feb. 4, 7; Feb. 11, 10; Feb. 18, 18. On Mondays, with saloons open: Feb. 25, 125; March 4, 141.
