1T means we will have a good chance

proof Of the fact that the demand for
prohibition Of the liquor traffic is not
Der OF cranks. but is wrold-wide,
awakening.
England and Russia have seen how
the liquor traffic interferes with the eff

nation. In December, when I discussed
IN the Senate the movement for pro-
hfbition in the various countries Of the
world. I did not anticipate that Eng
land would so soon take this definite
step.
ENGLAND has had total prohibition
before In times Of great emergencies

Of license and regulation, but has found
prohibition the only successful method
of dealing with the matter. The &C,
