AS the Delaware Legislature will soon
be in session, and it is almost certain
that the liquor question will be brought
before that body in some form. the fol-
lowing statement taken from the editor
ial columns Of the "American Issue
will be Of interest to the people of lower
Delaware specially. It touches the mat
ter Of shipment Of liquor into such ter
ritory as may have voted against the open
saloon, and it is as follows
Notwithstanding the various reports
coming from some interested parties re-
siding in the Eastern Shore counties re-
garding the failure Of the anti-shipping
law passed at the last session Of the leg
islature evidence is constantly accumu-
lating as to its effectiveness. Investiga-
fions made at many railroad and steam
boat stations IN the different counties Of
the Eastern Shore show a comparatively
small amount Of liquors brought into the
different counties
The writer, in conference with a gem
tleman who covers the entire Eastern
Shore territory and is a close observer Of
men and affairs, has his unqualified state
meut that not one gallon is brought into
these counties now where ten came ia
year ago.
On November 18th the grand jury Of
Talbot county adjourned after being ia
session two days only. This Is the short
est session on record for thirty years 10
that county. In its report the grand
jury attributed the small number Of cases
brought before it for investigation 70 the
successful workings Of the ant-shipping
law There was not a single case Of re-
ported violation of the local option law
Of the county to investigate at this ses-
sion. A thing that has never been known
before since the local option law was
passed ia 1875
Il is probably true that a good deal
more liquor than is essential to the hap-
piness and welfare Of the Eastern Shore /
communities is still coming into these
dry counties, but evidence is practically I
conclusive that this liquor is brought in /
for personal use only. There are very
few ru1nors Of blind pigs and blind tigers
operating and the purpose Of the law is
being fulfilled
It was not the purpose Of this legisla-
ti0u to keep the individual from getting
Intoxicating liquors for his personal use
but It was intended and has succeeded
amazingly well in cutting of the supply
Of the illicit dealer. To that extent
and that is all its friends have commended
for lt-it IS q bowling success.

Wright has quoted and would have
adopted the same method as Mr..
Wright when he credits Kansas with

The reason Maricopa sent SO many
convicts to the penitentiary last year
was because the criminal classes have
tendency to gravitate toward the
largest saloon cities of a state and for
the additional reason that they can get
as much booze out of the SO saloons of
Maricopa as they can get out of the
140 saloons of Cochise; especially as
all the saloons of Maricopa are in one
place while those of Cochise county
are widely scattered over territory
as large as some of the eastern states.
The reason Maricopa has 1855 insane
in the asylum is because they represent
the old saloon days when the county
was wet all over. Many of them have
been there for many years and some
have inherited their insanity from
drunken parents of the old regime
They are there for the additional rea-
son that insanity does not come from
the number of saloons nor does it de-
pend upon the number, but it does de-
| pend upon the fact that the county has
wet center from which the cussed-
| ness radiates everywhere The SO sa-
| looms in Phoenix furnish as much
booze, as far as availability is con-
cerned, as all the saloons in Cochise.
With reference to the backing of big
names to bolster up the liquor traffic
and the failure of prohibition, | object
to ex parte testimony. l prefer to take
the evidence of the man who is on the
ground rather than the evidence of the
man who was never on the ground. II

and Roosevelt and others correctly

Hodges of Kansas, Craig of North

West Virginia unite in pronouncinf
