Brief mention has heretofore been made of
the progress the temperance cause is making
in the South generally and we now propose to
go more into detail. not only to convince those
who doubt, but to encourage our own temper
ance workers. A report of the tenth annual
convention of the Maryland Temperance ALI
ance, recently held in Baltimore, furnishes some
interesting facts concerning prohibition in
Maryland. In this convention local option
was highly commended as a most efficient aid
to the prohibition cause. During the past ten
years more than half the State of Maryland has,
step by step, beginning first with local option
in industrial neighborhoods, then by districts,
and then by counties, singly and in groups, de-
clared by popular vote for the prohibition of
the sale of intoxicating liquors. The vote against
license recorded last November in three districts
of Queen Anne's county and in the whole of the
counties of Hartford. Howard and Anne Arun-
del went into effect on the lst inst. Prohibition
now prevails in thirteen counties and in scat
tering districts in other counties, making alto
gether an area equal to fourteen counties out OF
the twenty-three in the State that are operating
uHutT lElS law. he assertions proceeding
from opponents of the law that the consump-
ton of liquor had increased in local option
counties were stoutly contradicted. Letters
from citizens of Calvert county, which county
had been instanced by the enemies of the law,
as evidence of its failure, were read to the effect
that the sale of liquor had been largely reduced
One writer declared that there is not one-sXth
AS much liquor sold in that county now as prior
to the adoption of the new law. Another asserts
that the law has put Il stop to the pernicious
system of treating. and has saved thousands OF
dollars worth of property and hundreds OF
homes from the sheritl's hammer. The Presi.
dent said it was not claimed that the law work
ed equally well in all counties; but it did good
wherever adopted in the proportion that it was
enforced. In his report he submitted to the
Alliance the President recommends adhesion
TO the steady purposes and methods of the past
for securing prohibition in all the remaining
counties and districts. and makes some we'll
guarded suggestions to secure the ultimate OBJ
ject of a vote on the constitutional amendment
question, movement having been started last
winter looking to a constitutional amendment fol-
the prohibition of the manufacture and sale OF
alcoholic beverages throughout the State.
