Prohibition Is The Only
Real Remedy

Prohibition, not local option,
was the dctorine ladd down to the
w. G. T. U, convention by Mrs.
Margaret g. Munns of Seattle in
an address closing the two days
session last night.
She pointed out the progress of
the temperance reform and indi-
Gated that local option will not
do. 1t is wrong in principle, as
1t gives a majority the right to do
wrong and it is inadequate as a
remedy against the evils of the
liquor traffic.
She declared the only remedy
is state and national prohibition.
