Prohibition in the New States
Two of the four new States adopted constitutional prohibition, and yet the Catholic Review says that "prohibition sentiment received a cold reception in most of the Northwestern States recently admitted into the Union. It will not discourage the upholders of the theory, however. An enthusiast cannot be discouraged until death gives him release from tyranny." Is two the most of four? So the Review must regard it. But if that be the case, then most of the new States adopted prohibition. But certain it is that the result in the two Dakotas will be very far from discouraging to the friends of prohibition, and it may be that it will not discourage the liquor dealers, for they are enthusiasts; but when the traffic is dead the country will be released from the greatest tyranny which has cursed the world since the halcyon days of the papal Inquisition.
