Eaton, Ohio, Sept. 10.-The most ex-

took place Wednesday. They were
probably the best events seen in this
section Of country for years. In the

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 16.-With
the adjournment OF the extra session
of the legislature recently Alabama
took the lead in dry territory as per-
haps the most arid In the world. The
laws went into effect upon their pas
sage, and already their stringent effect
is felt all over the state.
These prohibition laws are the most
far reaching and drastic in existence.
They are expected to be made perma-
nent by constitutional amendment
putting prohibition in the organic law.
The legislature, by large majority
which it is thought reflected the public
sentiment, enacted provision giving
the people the right to vote on consti-
tutional prohibition in ninety days,
and the campaign has already opened.
The prospects are that the constitu-
tional amendment will be adopted by
good majority; but it will have TO
encounter the influence of large
amount of money turned loose by the
liquor interests, who are making a
desperate stand.
Clubs Demoralized.
The laws which went into effect 4
few days ago already bid fair to rev.
olutionize the social conditions. Club
life in the state is demoralized. The
clubs are well nigh deserted, and MANY
of their members are talking of dis
banding. This includes country, go:f
boat and shooting clubs, as well as the
leading social clubs in the cities.
The locker-club system which has
flourished in the larger cities as a sub
stitute for the saloons, has been put
out of business under the new laws
which make it almost impossible to en-
gage in this character OF the business
without, conviction. Where there
were 300 locker clubs in Birmingham
alone there are now none.
Even the private citizen is handicap
ped in getting liquors at his home. as
the law puts the local deliverer out OF
business and prohibits the railroads
and express companies from deliver
ing goods C. O. D.
Nothing like the present laws was
thought to be possible in this state
year ago. Today they are being Sc
rigidly enforced that anti-prohibition'
lists acknowledge that they are beaten
These strenuous laws were the result
of the attitude of the liquor interests
themselves in deeying the movement
from it's inception. The leading anti
prohibitionists freely admit that If tine
