One Kay of Light
The single ray of light piercing the
doom that envelopes liquor makers and
Sealers, not to mention consumers, is
the attack on constitutional prohibi
tion made by the state of Rhode Island,
Mv pending decision in the United
States Supreme Court.
Outstanding effects of prohibition and
the enforcement laws are :
The manufacture or sale of any bev
eiage containing more than one-half of
1 per cent of alcohol is declared un
lawful. Places where liquor is sold In viola
tion of the law will bo declared com
mon nuisances and abatable as such.
Prohibition enforcement officers are
glren powers of search and seizuie, ex
cept for the search of private dwellings,
unless used for the unlawful sale of in
toxicants or used in part as places of
business
All liquor seized is to be destroyed.
Vehicles used for illegal transportation
of liquor "will he sold and the proceeds
paid into the Unitcd'States Treasury.
Prohibited Advertising Liquor

' Not-intoxicating cider and fruit juices
may be made at home for personal use.
Alcoholic liquois for bacramentnl or

' Alcohol may be manufactured for in

Liquor may be stored in , homes if
bought before piohibitiou became effec
tive. Alcoholic liquor may be prescribed for
patients by physicians, but all such
sales must be lecorded and not more
than one pint may be prescribed for any
person in oup month.
The enforcement act fixes various
penalties for violations, the most severe
being a 2000 fine and two years' im

The federal machinery for enforce
ment of prohibition' has been virtually
completed. Commissioners have been
appointed for nearly all the states, and
the country has been divided into nine
districts, each headed by a supervisor.
Prohibition sentiment, culminating in
the .epoch-making amendment to the
constitution, has been growing steadily
m this country since 180S. according to
records compiled by the board of tem
perance of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. At that time, a demand for
moderation in the use of ardent spirits
arose, followed ten years later by an
even broader movement for abstinence
from ardent spirits and for moderation
iu the use of malt liquors. This in turn
gave way, in 1840, to sentiment for
abstinence from., nil alcoholic beverages.
Agitation for abolition of the practice
of licensing the sale of liquors did not
come until 1817, resulting four years
later in the enactment of prohibition
laws in Maine, the first state to put
prohibition into effect. Kansas was
second in 1880, nnd North Dakota
third, in 1889. Meanwhile, the move
ment had grown to such proportions
that a national prohibition party was
formed nt a convention in Chicago, Sep
tember 1, 1809.
Women, always in the forefionl of the
activity to stop the sale of alcoholic
drinks, organized for a concerted fight
after the famous women's crusade,
1S7.5-4. Their association was later to
become known throughout the world by
the name of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, with n litllo white
ribbon as its symbol.
Wave Began With (Georgia
A powerful influence in the fight for
prohibition came into existence in 1893
with the foimatioti of the Arti-Saloon
League. It is noteworthy that both
these organizations had their inception
in Ohio.
The modem wave of piohibitinn legis
lation began with Georgia in 1907.
Since that time, the movement gained
strength more lapidly llian any other
refoim iu tho historj of the woild, so
that thirty-three states alicadv have
prohibition bv state action. Twcnt
onc adopted it by popular vote, nnd in
the others by legislative mcasuies. 'At
the time the constitutional amendment
was submitted, twenty-four tit the
forty-eight states, and considerably
more than half of the territorial United
States, had prohibition. In states
where prohibition was not state-wide,
it had been adopted under local option
laws bj many conimunities.
