The Literary Digest has asked the

workings Of prohibition legislation In
Oklahoma. DO you regard prohibit

quiry.

We we're inclined to believe that local

but there can be no question that tho
consumption Of intoxicants has been
vastly reduced and social conditions
have been correspondingiy improved
Az the same time. none Of the econom-
ic disasters which the advocates Of the
liquor traffic fancy as following in the
wake Of prohibition have come to pass
but on the other hand the material
progress OF the state has gone forward
at q marvellous pace, Every year has
seen a larger decree OF success III the
enforcement OF the law and it has
steadily grown in public favor on
the whole, we blIinvc the prohibition
law has been as successful in Okiaho-
ma as Il might reasonably be expected
70 be. that the beneficial results OF IL
have abundantly Justified the claims
Of its advocates. ana that the number
81 those who would return to the wet
state constitute a negligible porion OF
