and then released. She broke up an
other saloon and was not even arrest
ed. She vent to Topeka and made an
appeal to Governor Stanley. He told
her he did not approve of her methods.
She also addressed both houses of the
state legislature. She visited Chicago
and other cities, between times contin-
uing the work of smashing saloon fix
lures.
States Enact Dry Laws.
The activities of these early leaders
of the prohibition movement gradually
brought about the enactment of state
legislation prohibiting or regulating
the sale of liquor. Some of the early
state laws provided for local option,
which made possible local prohibition,
as in Connecticut in 1889.
In 1887 Neal Dow, alarmed by the
vast quantities of rum entering Maine
through the West Indian trade, began
his agitation for prohibition in that
state. Stringent regulation of the
liquor traffic was established in sever
al states, but the passage of the Maine
prohibitory law in 1851 afforded the
first real test of prohibition. Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island in 1852
passed laws forbidding the sale OF
liquor; these laws were subsequently
repealed. Massachusetts adopted local.
option by towns. Iowa passed con-
stitutional amendment in 1882; it was
declared void and was superseded by
statute (1SS4). This in turn was done
away with by the famous Mulct law,
which itself was modified. Several
states rejected prohibition sought 10
be secured either through statute or
by constitutional amendment. Kan
sas adopted prohibition in 1890 ana
little later openly violated the law. so
there was spasmodic activity in most
parts of the country toward pro-
hibition, but it. was without plan or
cohesion. When the ratification OF the
eighteenth amendment began the situa-
l-tion by states IS to prohibition was as
indicated b. the following table;

the nation. The Prohibitionists polled
the surprisingly large vote of 150,626.
That the Republi cans credited them
with giving victory to the Democrats
was proved by the fact that in more
than a hundred cities st. John was
burned in effigy.
The Prohibition convention of 1896
split the party over woman suffrage
and money. The "free silver" minor

of Carrie Nation Is
Recalled.


The final adoption of nationwide
prohibition calls to memory number
Of men and women who have achieved
not only national but worldwide fame
through their connection with the pro-
hibition, or, as it once was known, the
temperance movement
Some of these persons who have
been most prominent in the movement
were active 50 long ago that their
names mean little to those who have
not been closely connected with the
prohibition movement, but Others are
well remembered by the present gen.
GRAFTON. Among those who have won
the widest fame at various times
through their activity in this work
may be mentioned Gen. Neal Dow,
who is credited with bringing prohi-
bition to Maine, the first state to be-
come dry; John B. Cough, who be-
came a world-famous Temperance"
lecturer after having been a drink adj
dict at twenty-five; Frances e. VIII
lard. who personifies the w. c. t. u,
and Carrie Nation, the eccentric sa-
loon snasher, VINO died only short
time ago cf.er tempestuous career.
Gen. Neal Dow.
Neal Dow was born in Portland,
Me-, of Quaker parentage. He was
twice mayor of Portland and a mem
Der of the state legislature. He en-
tered the Civil war as colonel Of the
Thirteenth Maine volunteers. He was
wounded and was a prisoner in Libby
prison ana was made a brigadier gem
eral for gallant service. Yet the coun-
try knows Neal Dow simply as ga
Their of the Maine Law" and as tenn
perance reformer. Maine passed the
law of which he was the author in
1851 and was the first state to estab-
lish prohibition. General Dow trav-
eled widely in foreign countries work
ing for temperance, and on his nine
tieth birthday memorial meetings
were held in many parts of the world.
He died in 1897.
John B. Cough, who was the first
temperance advocate to attract more
than local fame, was native of Eng
land, where he was born in 1877, but
he came to the United States when he
was twelve years old. He learned the
bookbinding trade, but early became
addicted to liquor and could not hold
a position. He made such living as
he could by singing in saloons. Later
he made new start and married, but
when he lost his wife and child he
again took to drink and sank to new
depths.
The turning-point in his life came
when he was induced by a Massachu-
sets Quaker to sign total abstinence
pledge. He became temperance lee
turer, and after making many tours
IN the United States he visited Eng
land, where he conducted two cam
paigns. His fame spread throughout
the English speaking nations and his
books have been translated into many
other languages.

Before conaress 40 Years.

Before Congress 40 Years.
Bills providing for nationwide prohi-
bition by legislation and resolutions
proposing constitutional amendments
for the same purpose have been before
congress almost continually for more
than 40 years. Senator II. w. Blair of
New Hampshire proposed the first
amendment in 1876. This provided only
for the prohibition Of the manufacture
and sale of spirituous distilled liquors
for beverage purposes. He introduced
a similar measure nine times, chang
ing it in 1886 to include all alcoholic
liquors.
Congressman Hcbson of Alabama in
troduced the famous "Hobson resolu-
ton" in the house December 10, 1913.
The amendment was amended many
times by Hobson himself, finally pro-
viding for q division of responsibility
for the enforcement of the law be-
tween state and federal governments.
This was done to secure the support
of certain advocates of 'state rights"
The resolution came to a vote Deem
Der %, 1914, but received only 1917
votes, while 25S were necessary for its
adoption.
In 1914 Senator Works of California
introduced bill providing for the pro-
hibition of spirituous liquors, including
wine and beer, but it received little
support frem prohibition leaders and
did not come to vote.
May Go to Courts.
There is probability that antiprohi-
bition forces viii attempt to secure an
annulment of the ratification vote in
several states and win attack the le-
gality of the action of congress. In
San Francisco a court order has been
secured restraining Governor Stephens
temporarily from signing the ratitica-
ton of the amendment. 1t has been
stated that similar action may be taken
in other states, including Arkansas,
Colorado, Maine. Nevada, New Mexico,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Washington,
Missouri and Nebraska. In these
states, it is declared, all action taken
by the state legislatures may be sub
mitted to the people under referen'
dun,
The Anti-Saloon league contends
that this IS impossible, outlining its
position in the following statement:
Article V of the federal Constitu
ton provides that the legislature OF
a state convention is the only body
which can ratify an amendment to the
| Consti ution. Congress is given tbs
power to say which one shall have tbs
authority Congress had chosen th'
state legislatures as the bodies to rati
fly the federal prohibition amendment

Mississippi First to Ratify.
Mississippi was the first state to
ratify the amendment, both senate and
house acting on January 8, 1913. Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and South Carolina
took similar action during the same
month and North Dakota soon fol-
lowed, but in most states action was
delayed until this year, when the vari-
GUS state legislatures convened. Then
the states took action on the amend
ment in rapid succession. Following
North Dakota the states acted in the
following order until Nebraska, the
thirty-sixth to act, completed the rati-

had a card Of IS, playing in = four
ball match with James W. Turner and
two other members Of the club. Terry
was frequently in trouble from the

made up for his lapses in the long
game His card follows:

This card beats by one shot the

three shots better than par. The
course as it now is. however, is not
exceedingly difficult
