will show how "ample" the grounds
for the writer's suppositon are.
Previous to November there were l8
States in which prohibtory laws were
in force. In September Maine had a
State election in which the question of
enforcing the prohibitory law was
prominent. The present governor who
sought reelection was an open oppon-
ent of rigid enforcement, and condi-
tons We're not good, His opponent was
an out and out supporter of prohibition
who promised to enforce the law if
elected. The latter was elected by a
majority of $1,000. November Vir-
ginla's prohibitory law went into effect
closing 600 saloons.
But things really began to happen
November 7. On that day the PRO
hibition wave" receded with a
vengeance and carried pretty much
everything movable with it. Montana
went for prohibition by majority of
about 10000, Nebraska $4,000, South
Dakota %, 600 and Michigan 10000. In
these four States there are Ia breweries
and nearly s, 200 liquor saloons.
The territory of Alaska also went
dry by a large majority Idaho and
Iowa which have statutory prohibit
ton adopted prohibitory constitutional
amendments by big majorities, while in
the prohibition States of Washington,
Oregon, Colorado and Arkansas, amend
ments introduced by the liquor in
terests to weaken the law were defeated
by larger majorities than were given
for the law itself when adopted.
In Utah and Florida legislatures were
elected which will almost certainly
enact prohibtory statutes and in
Wyoming and New Mexico dry legisla-
lures will take steps looking in the
same direction. In Maryland three
more counties were added to the IA al
ready dry, leaving only six wet.
In Illinois the senate is dry by a
large majority, while the house is in
doubt, but there is a fighting chance
for advanced legislation. In Indiana a
dry governor was elected over a wet
candidate, two dry senators take the
place of two very wet ones, and of the
l3 representatives who voted against
the national prohibitory amendment
two years ago ten are elected to stay at
home, men who will favor the amend
ment taking the places of most of
them. Delaware elected dry governor,
senator, representative and legisla-
ture.
In California the prohibitory amend
ment was defeated by majority of
$4,000 as compared with a majority
against it two years ago of $50, 0OO
The great argument against prohibition
in California was the ruin that it would
bring to the grape industry. But the
amendment received a majority of the
votes in the grape growing counties
and was defeated by an adverse majority
of Sc, 900 in San Francisco. In Missouri
the contest was unwsely precipitated
and there was no possibility of success
for prohibition, but even so the majority
of 218, 900 against it two years ago was
cut to $4,000, and St. Louis alone
saved the day for the liquor traffic with
its wet majority of 1870, 900.
If "receding" wave produced such
results, one can only wonder what will
happen when the temperance forces of
the nation really get into the game.

RECENT PROHIBITION PROGRESS.

To the Editor of the Register:
A writer in the October North
American Review laboriously proved
that the prohibition wave" is receed-
ing, and cited Vermont's vote last
spring as one of the proofs. Among
other things he said, "There are ample
grounds for the supposition that there
has been an abatement of Anti-Saloon
League enthusiasm, "

ings in the fight against the liquor

COMMUNICATIONS.
LETTER FROM THE MEXICAN
BORDER.
Editor Of the Middlebury Register;


Editor of the Middlebury Register;
have been thinking that perhaps
those who spent the summer in Eagle
Pass would be interested to know that
il is not summer all the time here.
Warm weather continued up until the
18th of November, when winter came
upon us like race horse. ! expect 1t
was the cold wave that was travelling
over the country.
That Monday morning was as warm
as most any morning we had had, the
thermometer being about 70 degrees.
If anyone had said that we would be
freezing by night, think he would
have been laughed at. About 8 o'clock
very black cloud was seen coming
towards us from the north. Then all at
once the wind began to blow a gale,
accompanied by heavy rain, and at the
same time it grew very cold. The
thermometer dropped degrees in five
minutes. 1t rained hard for short
time and then turned to drizzle for
the rest of the day.
The wind did not let up and the way
it went through person it seemed to
come straight from the north pole. BY
night the thermometer had reached 80
degrees. Then followed a night that
think everyone in camp will remember
for some time. Being neither used to
cold nor prepared for it, we had to take
every available means to keep warm.
Bon fires glowed in many tents, but it
was impossible to keep that cold wind
out. The next morning quite thick
ness of ice was on the water pail.
The wind continued much the same
the next day. The whole day was
spent in fixing up the camp to keep
warm. There was string of stoves
and stove-pipes going from town to the
camp. BY night many of the tents had
small stoves,in them. The weather was
quite cold for five days, but now it is
warm as summer is in Vermont. An
other cold spell is expected soon now,
but the men will be better prepared,
since they have their winter overcoats
and sweaters and will not mind the
cold.
Otherwise life is much the same
at Eagle Pass. The Y. M. C. A.
is still keeping open on the same spot
with MIR, Brown as secretary. We have
put in two small stoves 20 warm up the
building little. When it is cold we
have to close the shutters.
The moving picture machine has been
quite a success and we have had some
fine shows sent US by the Y. M. c. A.
committee.
Election day we put up our screen
out doors and that night we flashed the
returns on it as fast as they came in.
We did not lack for crowd since we
were the only place in town where the
returns were given out to the public.
There is another pet in camp, black
cub bear that one of the Kansas boys
bought of Mexican, who had caught
him in Mexico. He enjoys coming into
the "Y" as well as the boys.
With greetings from Eagle Pass,

SALE OF RED CROSS CHRISTMAS
SEALS.

At the request of Mrs. B. H. Stone,
chairman of the Red Cross Seal com
mittee of the Vermont Association for
the Prevention of tuberculosis, Gov
ernor Gates purchased the first one hun
bred Red Cross seals sold in Vermont
this season. In response to Mrs.
Stones request the Governor said. II
am enclosing my check for the first
hundred Christmas seals issued by the
Vermont Association for the Proven
ton of tuberculosis. | most heartily
approve of the purpose of the organiza-
ton, and wish you success in your eff
forts to combat the dreaded disease,
tuberculosis, in Vermont.
In addition to the endorsement of the
Governor the Vermont Federation of
Womens' clubs has decided to abandon
the sale of its special seal this year and
urge all of the affiliated clubs to jump in
and push the sale of the Red Cross seal.
In most of the towns, members of the
clubs will have charge of the local sale.

AN ERA OF GOOD WILL.
Barre Times.

Bhrre llmes,
The three colleges of Vermont seem to
have entered upon new era of good
feeling when the president of the Uni
versity of Vermont sends letter of
congratulation to the president of Mid
dlebury college because of the latter in
stitution's victory over the former and
when the president of Norwich uni
versity takes the occasion publicly to
commend the president of Middlebury
college over the latter's official service
as chaplain with the Vermont troops on
the Mexican border, 1t ought to be
possible for the three institutions to
dwell together in peace and unity in
stead of in the virtual feud of decades
past.

DENIES RUMORS.
past.
St Adams Messenger.

Colonel Reeves meets the rumors
that Chaplain Thomas had been asked
to resign from the First Vermont
Infantry because Of articles he had
written to the newspapers in which it
was alleged he had criticized the adj
ministration's handling of the Mexican
situation, by declaring them false.
Had Doctor Thomas resigned for this
reason the public would not have had to
wait to learn of it through rumors, for
the doctor is not given to discrimination.
He is not that kind of man. President
Thomas listened to the repeated urgings
of his trustees, but had the regiment
gone across the border not enough col
lege trustees lived in Vermont to have
kept the good chaplain from going over
with it.
