THE general sweep Of the pro-
hlbltlon movement, and the drying
up of the saloon was never more in
evidence than in the recent election,
when South Dakota, Michigan,
Montana and Nebraska and the
Territory Of Alaska have all un-
mlstakably pronounced for the an
limitation Of the saloon.
One Of the peculiar features Of
the present reform movement is
that instead Of getting its Roadway
IN the east, it is of western origin
and is carrying all before it ON It's
sweep to the too conservative east.

this verdict was used as an argu-

Ceaser blind pig case that followed,
the statement being that as the
man from the neighboring state

been convicted, then the poorer
mar from our own city should not
be punished. However we are
