where they are respectively sahcupaGd
by law. The attention Of the people
who are thinking and preparing TO
act on the questiohfof regulating the
liquor traffic is nov called 10 a
thorough analysis of the condition Of
oDe state, which has been made with
most amazing results, Senator SUIT
ton of Marsha!ltowu, Iowa, las in
vestigated the present condition oil
the lieYlor traffic in every city, town
and village in the state. The facts
which he has ascertained are printed
in summarized form by the Chicago
Tribune. Even thus condensed they
occupy seven columns OF fine type.
The essential facts of this great body
of evidence cannot be passed lightly.
They deserve to be read by thinking
men and women everywhere, to whom
the treatment that shall be applied to
the traffic in intoxicants is 9 question
of vital importance. We pass over
all the voluminous details, which are
so given as TO admit OF no reflection
upon their accuracy. The name of
each town is stated, the population,
the number of saloons two years ago,
the number now, the number of drug
| stores selling liquor, and the name
| of the correspondent who vouches for
the statments. Such facts, resting on
no secret inquiry, but backed by in
diyidual responsibility in every local
ity, cannot be called in question. a
summation by counties, covering
every inch of the state, gives the
number of saloons open before the
passage of the prohibitory law as
1896: the number of saloons running
openly now, 1887; the number of sa-
looms now running con the sly" 400.
The net result of the law, therefore,
is that there are thirty-onc more open
saloons in the state under prohibition
than under license, and 400 saloons
added by the release from local tax
alton. The whole number of saloons
has increased by $50 since the law
went into effect.
An analysis OF the table shows just
what we have learned TO expect. In

was already against the sale Of
liquors, and where the matter gould
