quite the contrary. Wheeling has

house which employs three times as
many men, and every place which was
once a saloon has been rented to
another form of industry, some at ad,

OF the great commemorative,
Maine, Kansas, North Dakota, Okla
homa, Georgia.. Mississippi, North
Carolina Alabama and Tennessee,
which have within the last twenty
five years adopted prohibition, only
one (Alabama) has rejected 1t. The
reason why Alabama repealed the law
after three years trial is not hard to
see. The prohibitory law was lost
not through a vote of the people but
through a liquor legislature. With
out doubt if the question were submit
ted To popular vote today there would
be an overwhelming majority for
state wide probition.
