\ speaker for prohibition who's e
word Is the best authority relates a
personal incident that shows how pro
hIbition doesn't prohibit: Il came
through Iowa this morning, and when
/ took my breakfast On the dining car
/ saw on the bill of fare ''no liquors
sold in Iowa" While | was passing
up OH the Central Iowa road ordered
lunch, and on the bill of fare there
were twenty-five or thirty kinds of
| liquor, including old bourbon and all
kinds Of liquors; l said this didn't look
/ Ike enforcing prohibition in Iowa,
with all kinds of whisky, gin and rum
on the bill Of fare, and | thought |
would try it; 50 | said to the porter,
| he said no sab, couldn't do it sab,
we can't sell it here" veil | said
but you have it on your bill of fare"
And he said yes, sab, but we can't
sell it in the prohibition states" And
at the top Of that bill of fare saw no
| liquors sold within the limits of prohi-
bilion states" Well, | thought may
| be he was fooling me a little, but l
! looked around and nobody knew me,
and | knew nobody, SO | said to him,
''coGlln't you get a fellow a bottle of
! beer. anyhow And he said, ''oh
i.awd, no boss. couldn't do it nohow."
And said no one would know any
thin. about it, and he said "Lawd,
sab, dey counted every bottle in the
car before we reached the state, and
then dey count 'em after we leave it,
and if bottle is gone | has to count
| for it..
AS soon as we left the Iowa line the
dariley came to me with face like a
full moon, and said, ''now boss, Yves

you want Not drink in Iowa UNI
der prohi5ition-all you want in Min

a New Yorker, just returned from
Norfolk, Va, tells of queer conjunc-
ton that he saw there. On the four
corners of Cove and Church streets in
that city, he says, are to be seen, first,
a liquor stere, then a druggists store
and doctors Office, then an undertake
ers Office, and on the last corner
graveyard. There is something in
this combination suggestive of getting
rid of a man with neatneSs and dis
patch.
a cry for the work of the White
Cross and White Shield comes from
Denver, Colorado, where the names of
eighty deserted wives have come be

The Nashville Issue claims that the
money that Tennessee pays annually
to the whisky shops (S15, 900 ,000) would
meet all the regular expenses of the
state fer ten years Nashville saloon
receipts alone would carry on the
government.
The Mid Continent tells of Ten
nessee judge of the criminal court who
has created sensation in religious
circles by officially declaring church
rattle illegal and charging Nasty He
grand jury to indict all persons buying
or selling tickets.
High license is barrier to prohi-
blti0n rather than a step towards it.
High license does more to counteract
prohibition fanaticism than anything
else we can bring to bear.-C. X.

The Southern Star, Of Atlanta, Ga,
says that on one street in that city
there are eleven stores vacant and

Of twentyfour judges in Iowa who
have committed themselves on the
prohibition question, twenty one stand
for the present law.
Rev. r. III. Mcdonald, d. D., of
California, says that statistics show
that the liquor traffic causes at least
ninety per cent of the paGperism and
crime in the city and county of San
Francisco.
Omaha Bee: Omaha can boast of
the most effective and orderly systems
of saloon regulation in the country
1t is incomparably superior to the free
dramshops in vogue in prohibition
states.

in Nebraska than to let the state go
for prohibition.
