In the August number of the Circle Magazine he gives
entertaining and truthful of the results of the
license policy in Ashland where the saloons had previously
their Waterloo through their brazen defiance the
Sunday closing law, described by him in earlier
Der of the same magazine.
The reader will recall how Matthew Wharton president
of the Wharton National Bank in escorting his wife and
daughter to church Sunday morning had to choose
between wading in mud and running the gauntlet of
crowds Of saloon oar and chose the mud in preference
TO the other evil how he left the church in his Indignation
to what could be done toward enforcing the Sunday
law; how he discovered that the saloon interests
stronger in the city hall than he how he started
antsaoon campaign and got the good voting citizens
awakened to the Importance of voting and finally carried
local option election against the saloons The result of
that campaign showed that the saloons strong only be-
the people Indifferent and that the remedy in
getting the people to understand their strength.
This narrative in the August Circle takes up the story
with the defeat of the saloons and it through the
struggle for law enforcement again showing that all that
needed to defeat the forces of awessness aroused
public sentiment and brave intelligent leadership.

from prohibiting. The liquor people began their sys-

laws Their personal popularity carried them through and
defeated the Claw enforcement ticket.
Same Old Scheme
The scheme in Ashland very SIMPLE and is just the
everywhere else The liquor said in effect You
had better take license money will sell without
license Not all of them said this for were men Of
property and could not take the risk
In wdeopen towns every saoonkeeper habitually VIC

and they might fairly be counted willing to violate the pro

which nrnged their vested right to barrooms and

its enforcement impossible and making it aughngstock
