PROHIBITION IN THE SOUTH

MCE New Hampshire and Vermont have aban-
doned their ancient policy of total prohibition
~ and have entered upon a trial of license and
local option the stalwart and stern prohibitionsts
have turned their hopes to the South In those
States where once the Puritan derided there
seems to be more OF the spirit of Puritanism than
in New England itself At any rate, the progress of
prohibition in the South has become one OF the
salient features OF the times and is sufficiently remark
able tc attract general attention.
According to a prohibition organ, The New
Voice published in Chicago, there are now more
saloons in the State of New York alone than in the
entire eleven States Of the South 1t is said that in
Texas 1856 counties have total prohibition, 6z partial
and in 46 the sale of liquors is unrestricted Ten
nessee has $500 towns and cities; in only eight of
them is there unrestricted SALE in only of the 90
counties can liquor be sold legally In Kentucky AZ
counties have total prohibition 54 partial and in IS
free sale is permitted Arkansas has "A teetota coun-
ties, while 20 can sell as they like, with legal re-
stricons Georgia has prohibition counties with
only 81 the other way
Various causes are assigned for the popular sup
port given to prohibition in these States In the first
place there are in the South very few foreigners
customed to the free of wine beer, and the
older elements of the American population gen.
orally averse to the liquor traffic is natural there
should be stronger sentiment OF that kind in the
South than in other sections where the foreign ele-
ment is larger In the place the fear that the
negro population might become demoralized if
whisky were easily obtainabe has inclined the rural
counties go almost soidly for prohibition Finally,
it is said that in Texas the liquor undertook to
eyade the license laws and to run politics. with the
result of rousng antagonism that has pretty well
suppressed the trade throughout the State.
The results of the experiment with prohibition in
the South will doubtless be similar to those that fol-
lowed in New England. For time the zeal of the
reformers will enable the State and county officers to
enforce the law. but gradually the weakening will
come. and then there will be repetition of the prac-
tices that made prohibition in New Hampshire and
Vermont such scandal that the people after fifty
years of trial decided to get rid of it. Unquestion-
ably. however it is OF advantage to the rural South
