OPEN FORUM FOR DEBATING
STATE WIDE PROHIBITION

ment of the prohibition law is small,
inexpensive, yet complete and eff
fectual We are accomplishing sur
prisingly satisfactory results, and it
cannot be said that West Virginias
prohibition law is not indeed COM
plete success
In the enforcement of the law
we have had the hearty cooperation
of the municipal and county officers
The ti-Saloon League organization

is doing good, effectual work, and is
assisting the prohibition commission
er in a way that means a great deal
in the accomplishment thus far OBJ
tanned in the administration of this
new law.
while West Virginia loses about
100000 a year in revenue from the
saloons. within the next few years
we expect to reduce our state ex-
penses for the handling of criminal
charges, and the maintenance of state
asylums that will offset the loss
| from the revenue paid for legalizing
the saloon traffic.
I'VE also feel that our standard of
citizenship will be higher and that
| the generation TO come in West
Virginia will be better from a stand
point of strength, education, intelli-
gence and other environments which
mean SO much to the success of
great and growing state, unlimited
in natural wealth such as ours, and
upon which depends our standard of
citizenship as to what the future of
our state and its achievements
may be.
| Our anticipations have been more
than realized and West Virginians
expect to make their state the ideal
prohibition state of the Union. Legi-
innate business enterprise has not
suffered, but thousands of families
have been made happier and grocery
bills, rentals and other necessary
items of expenditure are being paid
promptly by hundreds of men who
formerly gambled and drank away
their earnings while wives and child
rem were left by these husbands and
; fathers without subsistence.
THE more than ninety thousand
majority given in favor of the pro-
hibition amendment has given us a

GOVERNOR HATFIELD's VIEWS

West Virginia is now in the sec
ond month of real statewide prohi
bition, and the more we see o; pro-
hibition and its wonderful results
the better we like it.
Il have had numbers of men who
were really opposed to prohibition
and who voted against its adoption,
to state to me that they were con-
WINGED that the people were right in
adopting a prohibition clause to the
state constitution, eliminating the
manufacture and sale of whiskey and
all other kinds of intoxicants, and
should the opportunity afford itself
that they would unhesitatingly regis
ter their influence and support in
behalf of the dry cause
THE results have been marvellous
to everybody and we find that even
among the element that opposed the
state being voted dry" a disposition
was manifested to give support to
seeing the law carried out in force
and effect. We have experienced no
serious obstacles to the strict en-
IOTcenlenI OF the law, ana l DelleNe
that this in a large measure is due
to the excellent campaign of educa-
ton Waged among the people of the
state during the interim that marked
the ratification of the prohibition
amendment in November, 1912, and
the passage of the legislative enact
ment in February, 1913, to the first
day of July. 1914, when the law be-
came effective.
"West Virginia's prohibition law
is the strictest found on any Of the
statute books in the union, and for
! this reason | believe it to be the
best. No effort was spared to in
form the people that its provisions
were strict and that the law was
backed up by severe penalties, and
every effort would be made to fully
and completely enforce the law

we have full cooperation from
