STATE WIDE PROHIBITION IN
MISSOURI

BY a petition of less than thirty
thousand voters of q voting popula-
ton of nearly eight hundred thousand,
statewide prohibition is again before
the people Of Missouri. Although the
petitions were in general circulation
for many months, only the small num-
Der of signatures mentioned was
secured. This may have been due to
the fact that the temperance organi-
cations were divided on the subject,
the older organization failing to APP
prove the raising of the question at
this time. The proposed amendment
is in more drastic form this year
than it was six years ago, when the
proposition was defeated by a major
ity of 2l8,000. Although there was
no widespread demand for a recon
s~ideration of the question of state
wide prohibition, the state is again
put to the expense of an election on
the subject, and the people will have
to vote on it.
