Arkansas Temperance Bill Nears Prohibition

The temperance bill recently passed by the Arkansas Legislature is believed to practically give state-wide prohibition. The measure provides that before a person can open a saloon in any locality he must first procure the signatures of a majority of the white adults. This requires that the names of both the women and the men must be secured, and it is believed that there are very few if any localities where there will be enough favorable sentiment to permit the opening of a saloon.
