BY voting for 1t. My observations
after the election and for sew
eral months convinced me that I
made mistake, and I have not voted
for prohibftiou since. A well-regu-
lated license law, and enforcement
thereof, will be Of far greater benefit
to any community than a so-called
prohibition law. Prohibition does not
prohibit. The national government
has been At work for century trying
to stop distillation in the mountains
Of Tennessee. and it has failed to &C.
complish prohibition" I am satisfied
that prohibition in Nebraska would
result In more drunkenness, more bad
whiskey. more bootleggers, more whis-
key drug stores. and greater general
menace to society than ever before
The continued improvement in meth
DDS of saloon men, brewers, and deal
ers generally is going steadily on,
making license law such as we now
have more desirable than ever hereto
