Stewart States Our Case.

''Fhe Prohibition party proposition is
that the liquor traffic is wrong. No one
disputes this. The Gothenburg system,
the dispensary scheme and high license
are proposed because the saloon is wrong
If SO, license is also wrong.
But it is objected, you can't enforce
prohibition That is easy. Close the dis
t1lleries and breweries and shut the Gus
toms houses against the stuff and the sa-
loon and blind pig must both die. The
prohibition states, Maine, Kansas and
North Dakota, have closed their distiller-
les and breweries. The liquor which is
sold there illegitimately comes from adj
Jacent states.

week that is of state Importance
He decided that a wholesale IL
quor dealer was one who sold to
retailers and that a person whose
principal business is selling to

amount, is not a wholesaler.
The decision was upon eight
indictments against wholesale

dictment he found them guilty
and fined them S25 and costs
Eighteen other indictments are
pending against these same men.
The liquor dealers admitted to
selling to consumers but claimed
they sold only in five gallon lots
The customer would buy five gal
