Prohibition 81 Failure


Few questions OF sociological poll

than tina AZ to the success or non-suc,
cess OF the experiment OF prohibition
so far as tried. The opponents OF
prohibitory Legislation continue TO
: assert It's failure. but the advocates Of
the system persist in declaring the
contrary, and they seem to have
grown in number OF late years
Such evidence as is at hand, how
ever, seem to show that the
system lis not, at any rate, pronoUDc'

gardlng the efficacy of prohibitor!
legislation comes from Rhode Island
IL Is made in the governors message
10 the state legislature, and it is una
yoraole to the claim of the prohibl'ion

that the prohlbitory law Is sadly lnei'

to benefit herself. When the
Sa'ta Fc was projected Waco
offered any bonus to secure it,
but Galveston wanted no bonus. She
wanted to kill Waco. She built her
road around the town, but before it
WAS completed the Missouri Pacific
was built on the line first rendered to
the Santa Fe, with a six miles shorter
route and one per cent Instead of l-2
per cent grade, and the Santa Fe
found she needed Waco much worse
than Waco needed the Santa Fe.
When the Missouri Pacific proposed
to build from Waco to Dallas, the
Dollas people threw their whole influ-
cnce against the enterprise, and re-
fused TO give any bonus unless the
road would go 20 Hlllsboro instead of

would, like Galveston, be wanting
Waco worse than Waco would want
