There can he bu. one answer. The
logical unit for prohibition Is tie
state.
The orator who held forth at
Worth were nearly all lawyers. Tho
recosnljed the fact that their con
tention was sua i nst the logic of the
case. So they put forth a averlal
plea to the effect that public senti
ment Is fo stronu ncainst prohibition
In sour- section that It could not
be enlroied" that the enforcement of
state laws Is through hx a trlhun.ils
and when local sentiment Is ahii s'
the law It becomes a dead lett. r. K r
this re -i on It was argued that the
stat sho.-ld not be called Upon to
enforce prohibition except where t
has first been ascertain! by nieans

The arm of the r.tnto Is by no means
so "short ns the saloon orator sup
poses. The state has the power, in
fuct the atate alone has the power,
to wipe out tho caloon.
Of course the law against saloons
would not enforce Itself. No law
for the suppression of wrong does
that. The people would have t do
It. Hut why Is It supposed that the
people cf a county can enforce pro
hibition when thev adopt It hv their
votes nnd yet the peopl of the state
with all Its grent sovereign powers
ennnot enforce It hcn they adopt It
hv their vote There Is no reason
In such a position. The faM Is that
