court last week.
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1907-12-05

(a). Colorado has a new local option law
which is expected to result in marked improve
ment of the situation.
(b). In these states the figures given do not
accurately represent the situation from the fact
that, though the number of no-cense towns is
large, the centers of influence are almost all con-
trolled by the saloon. In Wisconsin and Mime
sota for example, many of the no-license towns
are merely the rural districts surrounding license
villages. In New York it is possible in only
few parts of the state to establish home fifteen
miles from saloon, while in only three places in
the state can home be established fifty miles
from city in which, under the present law, sa-
looms are mandatory and the people voceess
concerning them.
(c). Iowa has prohbitory law upon its
statute books, but this is nullifed by the "muct"
law, which provides that the prohbitory law may
be violated with impunity, upon the payment of
fine before the act. The ffty-six counties con-
sidered "dry' are merely the counties in which the
of them the prohibitory law is not enforced.
(d). In addition to the counties that are wholly
dry" in Kentucky, there is much dry territory
in the others. Only four counties in the whole
state are unrestrictedly saloon counties.
(e). In addition to this one Prohibition county,
Michigan has few towns under no-license.
(f). These states are the theaters of constant
agitation upon the question of local option, cleo
tons taking place so frequently as to constantly
change the situation
(g). This information is not official, but is be-
lieved to be substantially correct
(h) In Tennessee at the present moment liquor
is sold in Memphis, Nashville Chattanooga, of the
large cities, and in La Toilette Bnghampton,
Lynchburg and Jackson, of the small towns Lynch
burg and Jackson have already voted out the saloon
and Prohibition soon goes into effect. Binghamp-
ton is, in fact, suburb of Memphis and does not,
strictly speaking, make an additional place under
license though it is legally a separate munich
pality.
Co. In addition to these dry countess Texas
has a large amount of dry territory III license
counties and its extent is constantly growing

DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT
New York Judge Finds Broad and Ample
Excuse for Saloon Lawbreakers

New York, Nov. 3o.-(Specia1 correspondence.)
Another New York judge has come to the res
of the hunted and prosecuted saloonkeeper.
Magistrate Manner, of the Gates Avenue court,
Borough of Brooklyn, has discharged Herman
Kufahl, bartender who was arrested by two po-
licemen to whom he sold liquor on Sunday.
Kufahl admitted the sale, but plead mot guilty"
on the ground that he knew that the buyers were
policemen and did not dare to refuse them
The judge, very Daniel come to judgment"
learnedy said:
Il believe that where liquor dealer who is
confronted by known police officers who ask to be
served with liquors during prohibited hours the
liquor dealer feels sense of menace and in fact,
is under menace, and therefore serves the liquor
through fear and moral compulsion, and that the
service is without intent to commit crime. For
that reason I shall dismiss the complaint in this
case and discharge the defendant"
We shall doubtless next have burglars pleading
that they committed their crimes because they
knew that the police were watching them and
they were under Sense of menace as to what
might happen if they failed to qualify as law
breakers.

loudly telling that the drink question is not To-
cal.
YET how far has local Prohibition gone? How
much of our states is already dry? How wide
spread and loud is the testimonial of the Ameri-
can peoples hatred of the liquor traffic?
The numerous articles which have attempted to
answer this question have not been wholly ac-
curate. Even when the figures given have been
exact, mass of unfinished explanation has
been needed to make the information valuable.
There is ample excuse for naccuracy in the fact
that information on the subject is difficult of ac-
cess. In many states there state officials
who are in possession of the facts, while temper
ance workers and anti-saloon leaders frequently
have only hazy and indefinite ideas upon the sub
ject
1t is to be remembered too, that, as the Spanish
proverb has it, the beard grows while we shave;
that statements which were accurate yesterday
out of date today, rapid is the progress.
For some weeks past, the editor Of The Ma
tional Prohibitonist has been seeking information
by correspondence and interview and the examina-
ton of public documents with view to making
an exact statement. The result is given in the
table which follows:

and direct the awakening earthquake in American
morals that what has not happened in almost four
decades may happen in day.
The object of the discussions which have ap-
peared has been to measure the progress which
has been made along the lines of state Prohibition
and local Prohibition by local option This fur
nshes us the natural classification and the divis-
ions under which the subject may be discussed.
Up to the present time, six states have adopted
and retain Prohibition laws, either already in
force or enacted and to come into force at COM
parativey early date.
These states are:
PROHIBITION STATES.
MAINE GEORGIA
KANSAS. OKLAHOMA.
NORTH DAKOTA. ALABAMA.
The last three of these states have adopted
Prohibition within the past four months.
1t is worth while to pause and remember that,
only year ago, the liquor interests were trium-
phantly pointing to the repeal of Prohibition in
Vermont and New Hampshire and were AFRO
gantly Boosting that Maine and Kansas would
soon follow them into the long column of license
states The year has seen, not only the doubling
of the number of Prohibition states, and wide
spread of local Prohibition, but has witnessed
wonderful revival of law enforcement in Kansas
and the almost total collapse of the resubmiSsion
movement in Maine.
In these six states the Prohibition idea domin-
ates so far as it can under state legislation, with
the exception that in some of them to consid-
cradle degree, the law suffers from its administra
ton at the hands of t-Prohbitionists. In
of the states probably is the law as we'll
forced or will it be as we'll enforced by represen
tatives of either of the old parties as it would be
by representatives of the Prohibition party,
that party in power.
1t needs to be considered also that state is
always at a disadvantage in its effort to enforce
prohibitory law from the fact that the national
government, through its revenue system, occupies
a position of hostility and by its interstate COM
merce laws protects the efforts of the organized
liquor interests in violating the prohibitory law of
the state.
1t needs further to be remembered that state
prohibitory law protects the people of the state
from only such of the evils of the liquor business
as would grow out from the sale of liquor in their
own state.
The widespread political corruption that the
liquor traffic causes, the Prohibition states still

1t needs further to be remembered that state
prohibitory law protects the people of the state
from only such of the evils of the liquor business
as would grow out from the sale of liquor in their
state
The widespread political corruption that the
liquor traffic causes, the Prohibition states still
share i'll nationally; crime pauperism and immod-
atty in neighboring states still overflow upon
them, while the financial questions involved in the
existence of the traffic are solved only in COM
paratively small part by state Prohibition.
The agricultural and industrial products of the
Prohibition state are still sold in competition with
the liquor traffic in other states The gin mill in
keep the single mill of Maine and the cotton mill
of Georgia running, The beer bucket in Chicago
is filled by the money that ought to be used to fill
the dinner pail with the bread for which the
Kansas and Oklahoma farmers raise the wheat
More and more clearly, too, do the people of
the country begin to recognize the fact that, even
in the matter of moral protection local Prohbi-
ton is defective. Scores of counties, hundreds OF
towns and hamets, have voted out the saloon, and
the list grows almost hourly; but, when it is done,
the people turn to see those whom they sought to
protect tempted across town or county line, or
their boys and girls going away to the centers OF
population and activity to fall victims to the
traffic in death where it is beyond the reach of the
fathers vote under the local system
In spite of the rapid growth of local Prohibi-
