Prohibition Prohibits in New Hamp-
shire. -..
Very frequently out here in the
Northwest we are led to wonder
how prohibition continues to fare
in the prohibition states of the
east: From New Hampshire re-
vival of enforcement of law is re-
ported. Ex-Governor Goodale by
legal process demanded that the
court order the officers of the state
to execute the law. Judge Peas
lee responded to this appeal, and
issued his command to all those
whose duty it is to prosecute Of
tenders to do their duty. This or
der marks an epoch in New Hamp-
shire's war against liquor selling.
The results are best told in Mr..
Goodale's own words, spoken at
public meeting in Manchester:
1.-The blessing of Almighty God
has been very apparent in the past
few weeks, for the command Of
the court was heard and obeyed,
not only in Manchester, but in
every other city of the state and in
most of the towns. I think it is
safe to conclude that, of the posi-
bly, 1900 drinking places that
were running January 1, at least
1000 of them are already closed,
and probablyin in very short time
it may be said that we have no
open saloons anywhere within our
borders. Judge Peaslee has re-
moved the temptations of the sa-
loon from more than 100000 citi-
zens OF his state-that is, its entire
population.''
Echoes of the Vice Compromise.
At its latest meeting, the Gen.
tral Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union of Buffalo, N. Y, took
action upon the vice compromise
of the Anti-Saloon League in
way that will tend to relieve the
Union of the criticism that has
been caused by the failure of the
county convention to speak with
the force that was expected of it
upon the subject. The meeting of
the Central Union was unusually
we'll attended owing to the ex-
pectation that some action would
be taken upon the matter that has
been exciting so much attention,
and the following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, We, the members of Gen.
| trail w. G. T. U. of Buffalo, recognize
the fact that compromise with vice
and sin has been entered into, on the
| one hand by officers to whom we look
for the enforcement of law and protec-
| tion from evil, and on the other hand
by an organization whose purpose of
creation was to assist in enforcing ex-
isting law, encouraging officers in the
performance of their duties and to rec
ommend legislation for better laws;
and
Whereas, 1t has been reported that
the W. c. T. U. of Buffalo has en-
dorsed such action and approved the
same, therefore be it
Resolved, That we desire it dis
tlnctly understood that we are opposed
and hope ever to be opposed to a COM
promise with sin in this city or any
part thereof; and declare that we will
never be party to anything but siren
uous opposition to schemes or plans
tolerating evil or the semblance of evil
wherever found or in whatever guise
discovered.
Another incident connected with
the vice compromise was the meet
ing last week of the Phyllis
Wheatley Club at the Mich gan
Street Baptist church. This or
ganization is composed of some
$50 women of the best class of
colored people in the city of Buf-
falo. The church where the meet
ing occurred is in the very center
of the district which, by the agree
ment of the police criminals and
the ministers of the Anti-Saloon
League, has been set apart as
vice preserve, and the homes of
the greater part of the families
represented in the club are Sit
uated in or near this district. The
situation is accentuated' by the fact
that another church attended by
the colored people is located in
the very heart of the same district.
Among the speakers at this meet
ing was Mrs. VIM. H: Talbert, a
