THE SUPPRESSION OF VODKA 165

suppression of spirits, and give to her in exchange British
methods of spreading enlightened recreations, sports, and
development by moral and physical training.

This, of course, is only true of the time prior to the
Revolution, but we may take it to apply again in the future
when the effects of the excesses of the Revolution have been
wiped out, although at the present moment it is a lamentable
fact that, in the absence of any government worthy of the
name, vodka-brewing is practised privately on an enormous
scale, but we may confidently anticipate that Russia will
reestablish her excellent movement for the suppression of
vodka as soon as there is once more a restoration of law
and order.
