Great Regulars: Logan explains that prohibitionists wanted

a strong, anti-booze man who was "a terrible man,/Grim, righteous, strong, courageous,/And a hater of saloons and drinkers." Logan, no doubt, sees himself as his "terrible man," who could "keep law and order in the village."Again, the town marshal shows the high estimation he has of himself. His strong sense of self accomplishment motivates his actions.
