TRACTS reflected from news in the daily are r proving most embarrassing to Prohibition FALLACIES. For instance, where a dispatch from San Francisco, Cal., states that exactly 18,756,148 persons passed the turnstiles at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, a-JF and of this great nuAber only 33 were arrested or ejected JI for intemperate use of alcoholic beverages. Practically jjjjtjy i^f ! perfect order prevailed during the ten months ci the £r||s& jT rpKIS temperance record of the Exposition, at which j i J li jfT j ; L Ml IX drinks of every kind were easily obtainable, seems 11 more remarkable when comparison is made with the gl arrest records of several conspicuous Prohibition citi?s in which the sale of liquors is forbidden. The daily transient p-j population at the Exposition, for example, was about E /^ or \ 60,000, nearly equal to the resident population of Port- *| / land, the largest city in the oldest Prohibition State— r J*\ Maine. Comparison gives the following official figures of V- arrests for drunkenness and disorderly conduct within a , ■ s?' period of 10 months, viz.: 1 Total arrests at the Exposition for intoxication, 83 j Arrests £cr into: . ication : n » c v y " Portland, Me., 3067 IN ' '3OGI H/ number of arrests for intoxication at the Exposition j] v an d the number jailed for the same offense in "Prohibi tion" Banger, Maine.
