PROHIBITION.
On this great question there ia no longer an
our intelligent people how prohibition took its
place among the fixed institutions of our pro-
gressive state. 1t came from the voluntary ex-
preston OF the people OF the State. Through
this non-parstsan movement, largely encouraged
by good men and women from one end Of the
State to the other for more than . year before

aud demoralizing effect upon society Of the
saloon had then demonstrated itself.
When that General Assembly convened peti.
thickly settled portion of the country came
forth asking that the so-called constitutional
amendment be recommended providing for the
prohibition OF the manufacture and saIe of In
t0Atcatfng liquors, including wine aud beer, aud

petitions. The Nineteenth General Assembly
also needed them, and the so-called proposed
