Narcissa T. White, OF Pennsylvania, and Rev. G.
h. Richardson discuss the bill pending for pro-
hibiJlon OF the liquor traf1ic. Miss White who is
quite a handsome woman OF perhaps twenty-five,
spoke for nearly an hour, In an easy and effective
manner. As TO the question whether prohibition
prohibited she said sne had been born and raised
In town where there never was saloon. They
had there a flne academy OF music, but no poor
house, and she had never seen a man begging for
bread on the f-eets. lnfhe town Of Mercer. Pa,
which was low her home, the applications for
license were passed upon 10y the court, ana the law
was enforce-l, With no saloons IL Was a shame.
She said, for Americans 10 say that law was not
enforced. IL community could, but would not,
elIorce tie law, they were COW ards n they would,
but could not, they were slaves. II the men could
not enforce the law the women would. Rev. Mr.
Richardson Ia his address, said the very fact that
high license was suggested by some OF the liquor
men was an argunIeLt against IT. While Miss
White spoke OF the applications for licenses being
passed upon by the Judge OF a court he could not
help wishing that such power was vested Ia our
own Judge Smell. There would be but few, n any,
licenses granted, and he was quite sure that
Brosnan would not have received a license.
