When the high license law went into effect
in Pennsylvania in 1SSS there wcro 14,5.71 sa
loons in that stato. The enforcement of tbo
law cut this number down at ono blow to
7,7:24 : a little more than ono-balf. And there
has since been a steady reduction from year
to year.
A law forbidding tbo use not the sale--of
beer or spirits has never been nml never will

drinking man from securing his favorite bev
erage !

Prohibition would raise the tax levy ii
Omaha and Douglas county to nearly 8 pei
cent , nnd at the same time depreciate the
value of property liQ per cent to 50 per cent in
a few years. Thus would our property own

Out of the f > 0 persons in the Lincoln peni

Ono of the chief causes of crime is the
babit of violating laws by creating artificial

Whcro the prevailing sentiment of the pco-
plo is in favor of prohibition It can bo par

Where the prevailing sentiment is against it ,
it cannot be enforced at , any cost. It is
either a high-priced bauble or a , complete
failure.
The prohibition book states that three-fifth
of all tlio Idiots in the Mulno asylums were
cither drunkards or the direct descendants of
drunkards. In ISbO Maine had 1125 ! idiots.
Did prohibition then prohibit drinking ! In

Minnesota only 7-0.
A largo number of people are ready and

that such is the cme.
The district nnd county court dockets in
