I'VE would recommend to Mr.. Park

liberty connected with order that not

which can not exist without them-Ed-

Now, as to the advantages following
the adoption of prohibition one has to
but investigate those towns and COM
munities where the law has been given
a fair trial to be fully convinced that it
is far better than the open saloon. The
statistics show an average decrease of
so per cent of all offenses. Arrests for
drunkenness in the city of Atlanta de-
creased many thousands under the first
year of prohibition, and there is no rea-
son why corresponding results could
not be obtained elsewhere. In Shreve-
port the total number of arrests by the
police department for the first five
months of last year, under the saloon
policy was I37e-for the same months
this year only 63S.
