NATION DRY ONLY AFTER LONG
FIGHT
Interesting Review of the Battle That
Ended in Victory for Prohibition
Appears in this Issue of Censor

Nationwide prohibition is coming
to the United States with swiftness
that could not have been foreseen one
year ago At that time the history
of the battle to make the country dry
contained nothing that seemed to
promise final success for the cause
within so short a time.
But now, a year after the prohlbl-
tion amendment to the federal consti-
tuition was submitted to the states by
congress, it has been ratified by more
than the required number of states,
and in another year the country will
be dry unless the unforeseen occurs:
In view of the suddenness with
which the battle has ended, at least
so far as legislative action is con
.cerned, and the tremendous impor-
lance Of the event, it is of the great
est interest to review the fight that
has been waged for many years TO
bring this result The Censor IS pub,
fishing on another page of this issue
a story of this fight that every reader
will find we'll worth reading. lt Is
the story of battle marked by many
dramatic incidents.

With model gravel highways
between this City and New Or

cheaply and quickly one can
make the trip to the Crescent City,
or for that matter to any point in
the State. Some two weeks ago
Mr.. Reubin H. Brown returned to
his home at Jeanerette from New
Orleans with about ten persons in
his car, making the journey in five
hours and twenty minutes. IN
GLIDING the cost Of crossing the
ferry and gasoline the entire
party, comprising three adults and
the remainder. small children, the
trip was made at an expenditure
Of $3.50. Had the Southern Pa
cifc been used as mode of travel
the trip would have cost Mr..
Brown over twenty dollars. Once
the Spanish Trail is completed a
run to New Orleans can be made
in a great deal less time and with
more ease. In fact to run hum
dred miles will be a source Of
pleasure to all tourists. This
shows the dire necessity of con-
structing nothing but the best of
