AoainSt the Saloon

The steady crusade against the liquor traffic hich has been waged in ihe United States for more than a century is stili conducted with vigor and is still making headway. though slowly. The ca ampsign against drink in Los Angeles by Murphy is but an incident in the greater crusade which has well-nigh banished Iiqucr from a from innumera bic small towns and country districts.
 In Los Angeles aud San Diego coun- ties next fall the question of prohibit ing liquor selling will be submitted to voters outside of incorporated cities, and the sixteen prohibition towns of Southern California will probably be joined by comsiders ble territory outside inc towns where liquor is no; sold.
 Jus, why il is considered wise to prohibit ihe selling of liquor to Indians and in country precincts while cities are debanched by liquor is a mystery, but while such inconsistencies exist. it is gratifying to note that the prohibit lion idea IS spreading steadily. and iha, the sentiment of the American people is not far from reaching na- ,ional prohibition. if the politicians would permit the people to express an opinion on the subject at the polls.
