Pennsylvania will be a wet
state for at least five years more, for
the house of representatives., by a
vote of 108 noes to 80 yeas, declined
to adopt the Steele joint resolution
which would have amended the state
constitution so as to prevent the
manufacture or sale of vinous, malt,
brewed or spirituous liquors. Even
if it has been passed later by the
senate and signed by the governor,
it would have been necessary to go
through the same operation two
years hence before it could have been
submitted to a vote of the people.
That would take three years. This
setback for the dry cause, there
fore, added at least two more years
to the time when the people of the
state will have a chance to express
their opinion.
