That is, they are not much concerned as ,o
its real success. nor DESTROYS of promoting its
success as they are % catching up isolated in

there IS more whiskay drunk than under

about West Virginia because they can't but
that is their favoritc "stop-thef' cry. Very
naturally II more liquor consumed under
probation laws than under licensed saloons,
the wholesale liquor dealers would work to make
prohibition mere universal since they would sell
more liauor. But strange to say. they do not
work that way, and their actions give the
statement the lie.

other wet paper. that conditions In West Vir-
glnia are vastly improved. That while our pro-
hlbiton law has not yet regenerated the human
race abolished the desire and habit OF drink

General Comment
\ Golden Opportunity

Wha' has been the gain and what is now the
opportunity for greater gain In our state since
the passing of the statewide prohibition law
These are questions which arise and which
should be answered est the flush OF victory
throw US off our guard In counting the gain
must know that there is still more to be done
and the opportunity must not be lost
The first great gain from this campaign has
been the awakening nf the men OF the state to
the value and privilege of citizenship-the re-
sponsblity for the right of the ballot
The fight for prohibition was accomplished by
votes, and the battle could not have been won
without these weapons. Therefore, the vote -
a valuable commodity and must be used for the
welfare of the state.
Another great gain has been that the women
~ the state were aroused 10 the fact that their
Interests involved in the fight against the
saloon, They. too realized that political issues
may touch the welfare of their homes, A con-
seriousness of their relation TO public affairs and
their responsibility for community life were no.
ticeahle features of the campaign. VINO knows
hut that many recruits We're won Ior the cause
which is seeking the reimbursement of women
that they. too may serve their State citizens =?
Stll another gain has been the awakening OF
The church to a social Christianity, which means
4 he evangelzatiun OF political life as we'll as OK
the individual life. The Christian must render
service to his State well as to his church
his vote must count cor righteousness when
political Issue is before the public. The coming
OF the church people into this battle for a bet
ter state, will, hope. be q perrna nent reform
IN ou,. church life with ministers as well as
with laymen.
But, while count our gains in the CAM
paiRn lust closed must know that these Will
not suffice in the great movement to rid our
state of the LIQUOR evil. Prohibition has not yet
bceu accomplished. The battle has Just begun.
