FRANCIS MURPHY, whose work survives when prohibition laws fail, is in the city again on a short respite from his successful labors in the western country. Mr. Murphy's methods are of the sort which are not circumvented by 'original packages' and do not call for constitutional amendments to become operative. His familiar saying that the only thoroughly efficient prohibition or license laws as to liquor are those which every man makes for himself seems to gain new force from the free and easy manner in which the Federal Supreme Court has been bowling down the enactments of the States.
