There can be no question as to the

false statements. Il is town their cause

the close or business December 81, 1906,
they were s75,945,655.71, an increase in

apita increase is from S165.O5 TO S1S523
for the same period, or S20.17 for every
man, woman and child in the state Of
New Hampshire.
Such statements as theirs are not
only wilful prostitution Of public con-
fidence. they are a libel on a great COM
monwealth.
The mapy of entucky with which they
placard the last page of their Living

of the state is dry in law, it is all wet

1t will be observed that the two
great license states New York and
Pennsylvania stand better than Maine.
and this Notwithstanding they contain
two of our largest cities, and in the
case of New York the congestion of
population exceeds that of any other
section of the Union. Comparison of
Kansas with Nebraska. the state of
most similar condition naturally favors
the license state of Nebraska.
Thus upon investigation the fallacies
are exposed, and the declarations of the
opposition are as punctured bladders,
as rent cobwebs in the torturing glare
of truth.
They are Illuminating the vain mouth
ings of demagogues, the fancies of
the superficial or the hatred Of the
