DEPARTMENT. EDITED BY MS. E. PEUMFOY JND W. W. SMOiK. JR. ON POPULATION AND PROHIBITION. The weti are circulating a tract againet prohinitiou—the output of the anti-prahibition bureau at Washington, to the effect that the population of a •tate is cot down wherever prohi bition goes in. it is deceptive from one end to the other. For example: ,, It starts out with the state ment tha* “three only of the states of the Union have, accord ing to the census reports ever suffered a decrease in popula tion”—ami two of these are'pro hibition btatts, Maine and New Hampshire; the other is Nevada. If it had d< Hired to be honest, it would have pointed out tlr.it this decraseiu Maine and New Hamp shire was in the decade «>t the Civil War r anJ that there was the same decrease'at the same time, aiiv*. from the same causes lately, m tho wet state of Vir ginia and in the \?et territory i»f New Mcxic , aa shown T.y the tables in the tiact. ^Virginia receded from 1 j/JIs in 18 ,0 Still further: We are always hearing from liquor sources “that prohibition does not prohibit," that “there is just as much liquor as ever sold under prohi bition,“ »ud the like. If this is true, where was the deficiency of liquor that caused the alleged decline of population in those prohibition states? If me “could get. all they wanted” in Maine and New Hampshire bow did the lack of liquor drive them out be tween’Go and’70? The fabrica tors of these falsehoods ought to! be able to make their statement* hang together belter.
