Phone, Red 1741 THE "DRY" TERRITORY. In Two Thirds of the rotted , States Liquor Is Forbidden. ' Ferdinand C. Inglehard' says of the "dry territory" In the United States, tn the April Review of Reviews: In two-thirds of all the territory of the United States the saloon has been abolished by law. Forty years ago there were 3,500.000 people living tn territory where the sale of liquor was prohibited. Now there are 38,000,000 people under prohibitory law. Since that time the population of the coun try has scarcely doubled, while the population In prohibition territory has Increased tenfold. There are 20,000,000 people In the 14 southern states, 17,000,000 of whom are under prohibitory law In some form. In 1900 there were 18,000,000 under prohibition in the United States; now there are 36,000,000. . In eight months statejwlde prohibition has cleared the saloon from an area' as great as that of France. . . ' In that area there Is a solid block of territory 300 miles north and south, by 720 miles east and west, tn which, on the first day of next January a bird can fly from the Mississippi to the At lantic ocean, and from the boundary of Tennessee to the Gulf of Mexico, without looking down upon a legalised could be set down over this space with out covering It. There would be 10, 000 square miles of "dry" territory left as a border. The place to hear the New Victor records for April Is DAVT3-JORDAN MUSIC CO.
