How Prohibitionists Figure That I ,4oo,-
600 More Have Climbed on Water

Despite all their predictions to the
contrary. their millions of corruption
money and their frantic attempts at
organization" the Prohibition adj
vance in two years has scored drop
In liquor produced for beverage pur-
poses from the natural expectations
Of the trade Of something like 7OO0,-
100000 drinks or, to make it explicit,
7;513.397.981 barroom doses of alcohol
ic poison.
All this while the liquor makers have
been defying every Prohibition law on
the statute books as insOlently as they
cared to, under the protection of the
federal interstate regulations, which
permit their invasion of all Prohibi-
ton states and districts at will.
Bear in mind that the new penal
code amendment passed by congress
which goes into effect Jan !. 1910,
while making such a defiance of law
but slightly more complicated. will do
little toward decreasing the steady
stream of liquor from license cities to
Prohibition states
Meanwhile in thousands Of these
Prohibition towns and cities through
out the country the administration of
law has been handicapped and crippled
by officials secretly conniving with the
outlawed business and officials allied
with parties unfolding the license sys-
tenn in state and nation.
A Million More Abstainers7-AndM More

One of the most significant develop
ments which may properly be reckoned
In this connection is the probable in
crease in the number of total abstain
ers.
Putting aside for the moment the
startling totals of expected increase in
liquor production which did not ma
terialize in the last two years. we find
an actual drop in liquor production of
1908 and 1909 from the figures of 1907
of 19.4S5.59I gallons of whisky and
2.142.614 barrels of beer-that is. there
was an aggregate drop in liquor pro-
duction for those two years of 2,045,-
9S7.6S5 drinks of distilled and ferment-
ed liquors from the total for 1907.
Reckoning that the average moderate
drinker buys four drinks a day. the
figures show that the equivalent Of
1,40S.098 men no longer patronize the
saloons as they did in the year ending
June 80, 1907.
The actual number of recruits to the
total abstainer ranks may be more or
less than this figure.
But proximity to a saloon leads
thousands Of men into ter }tatioD who
otherwise would never become patrons
