In Certain States.

my business takes me into nearly
every state in the union" said Sumner
Burroughs representative of the st. Elmo
theatrical company, land I can say truth
fully that in Maine, with It's 50-odd years
of constitutional prohibition, there Is
more real low down drunkenness than
I ever saw in any local option state. In
Portland, Bangor and other large towns
in Maine the liquor evil has always been
more or less in evidence and 1t has been
especially 30 within the past few years.
Kansas being an agricultural state seems
to get along fairly well under consti-
tutional prohibition. SO far as the rural
communities are concerned, but in To-
peka and Leavenworth whisky traffic is
carried on extensively.
iowa adopted constitutional prohibition
in 1882 and voted an amendment in 1884
making prohibition still more rigid, but
a visitor to any one of the large towns
who had not made himself familiar with
the history of the state would never
know that there was any law against sa-
looms In Dubuque, city of less than
5000 population, there are 105 saloons.
l was in Iowa In 1884 just after the
drastic constitutional amendment was
adopted and I never saw more fragrant
violation of the liquor laws than there
was then. The people who had forced
prohibition on the state evidently got
tired of 1t, for today the saloons are per-
mitted to do business openly by paying
monthly fines. One thing is certain: If
public sentiment was strong against sa-
looms in the cities of Iowa the liquor
trade would not be carried on as widely
as 1t is. In spite of its large number of
saloons Dubuque is now known as one
of the most orderly cities In the country
It Ia famed especially as an educational
center
1T do not know how constitutional
prohibition would operate in Alabama
There seems to be a good deal of stir
here over the proposed prohibition
amendment. Maybe majority of the
voters will favor the amendment, but
If they do 1t will be a safe bet that pro-
hibttion will not make for the cause
of temperance in the cities of the state
