The whole development OF prohibition
sentiment can be traced throughout o
seri IS of pledges that were typical of the
periods which produced them, beginning
in lS0S with the pledge of the FIRST tenn
perance society in which members agreed
not to touch liquor except during sickness
under penalty of 25 cents for each ottensc,
80 cents Tor being intoxicated, and %
cents Tor Offering Intoxicating liquor to n
friend. And right on the heels of this an
other society sprang up in which the MEM
bcrs pledged themselves not 10 get drunk
except on the Fourth of July or upon q
regular appointed military muster day.
The pledge of the Maine Temperance
Society, which came IN 1872, decided to
he "sparlng and cautious" in the use OF
liquor realizing Spurious liquors are
the hane OF morals, and a dram on health,
piety and happiness.
Fourteen years later the American
Temperance Society decided alcoholic
drink was needless and harmful, and
set about to discountenancc its use.
The Andovcr Society made similar
pledge that same year, 1926.

he could, but it was impossible to
climb such a hill. In despair our driv-
er walked to a house atop the hill to
see If he could get help. In few
minutes he returned smiling and said
the man at the house had advised him
to turn the car around and back up.
We all laughed, but were soon turned
around and slowly backing up the hill.
We were about half way up when we
saw another machine coming, and as
soon as it reached the foot of the
hill it turned around and began back
ing up. When we reached the top the
man at the house greeted US and re-
marked that all cars had to take that
