taken a big drop. A month ago a case
of whisky cost Sl30. The price dropped

it come from? From the old-established
distilleries, being removed, according to

The Times Union of Jacksonville.
Florida, says:
"The vast majority Of people are in
sympathy with prohibition, declares
the st. Petersburg Independent; and
as the majority of the people of the
county have never expressed an opin-
ion on the subject we wonder how it
came to be so we'll informed
If the Times Union were the only
wet paper guilty of such inexcusable
ignorance its utterances might be al
lowed to pass unnoticed, for the peo-
pie of Florida are too well informed
to be influenced by such a gross mis-
Representations But as such edito-
rails go the rounds of the anti-prohi-
bition press it deserves moments at
tention. The prohibition question has
been before the country for many
years: "a states have gone by state
action, nearly all of them by popular
vote. In the very few states where
prohibition was introduced by statute,
subsequent legislatures have been
elected pledged to continue prohibit
ton. Forty-five states voted to rati-
fy. and nearly all the legislatures that
ratified were elected on that issue or
were the legislatures of prohibition
states.
Ratification was an issue in illinois
in 1918, and prohibition won Ratifi-
cation was an issue in New YORK IN
1918, and prohibition won. Ratifica-
ton was an issue in Ohio in 1918. and
prohibition won. The state prohibi-
tion amendment has been voted on
FIVE times in Ohio. 1t was defeated
nv $4,000 in 1914, by $4,000 in 1919,
and less than 1000 in 1917. 1t was
about 10000 in 1919. The congress
sthat submitted prohibition elected
in 1870 was elected by the people
Three-fourths of the senators ana
two-thirds of the congressman voted
to submit the national amendment,
and the voters knew how these sen
ators and members stood on this ques-
ton when they voted for them.
Yet in spite of repeated endorse
ments of prohibition by the voters at
the polls, papers like the Times Union
country have never expressed an opln-
out by the ex-brewers. Chief among
these falsehoods is the statement that
