staying forever at home, in stick

The prohibition bill in the house
has been postponed for one week.
An effort is being made on the part
of the ants to put off the enforce
ment of the prohibition act for a
year and half, which leads many
true prohibitionists to believe that
it would finally serve to defeat the
measure. The senate and house
committees are strongly opposed to
any clause deferring enforcement
longer than next January.
