On Sunday evening in the NJ. E. Church
Mr.. Barholdt, an Anti-Saloon League
speaker, gave a synopsis of what has
been accomplished by this League. The
fact was brought out that the liquor
traffic had gradually been pushed from
the south and west, until it was gener-
ally located in the group known as the
northeast states, composing New Jersey,
New York. Rhode Island. Connecticut and
massachusetts,. The close proximity to
the Atlantic ocean and the Canadian bor-
der made 1t possible TO garry gtb on s Inas
lions, but though this is carried on to
some extent, conditions We're far better
and great things might be hoped for IN
the future.
