THE SALOON QUESTION.
The saloon question is again to the fore. Before
National Prohibition, the saloon was tolerated In
every State which permitted the sale of liquor. In
no instance was a serious attempt made to eliminate
the saloon save by doing away with the legal traffic
in liquor entirely. Now we find that no State
of the Union intends to allow the saloon to return.
Everywhere, public opinion rejects it. Though the
States have many distinct plans for handling the
liquor problem, they are unanimous in their determ
ination to outlaw the oldtime saloon.
