The main- contention was whether -the license should be raised and the number of saloons limited to the five In business when the local op tion law took effect, or whether the li cense should ' remain at 1800 and the number of saloons unlimited. The coun cil favors the raising of the license to $1,000.

The b I puiiday Journal ,is "Crosses Continent to Fight Liquor." is the heading -over the following , de scription appearing in the Evening Tele graph of the arrival of Mrs. Ada Wal lace Unruh In Philadelphia: ""Within live years the whole United States will have become "dry.' Within seven years an amendment prohibiting the liquor traffic will have been incor porated into the constitution. Within IS years people will look upon the use of liquor as they now look upon the use of drugs.' "This Is the way that Ada Wallace Unruh defines the future of the prohibi tion movement. Mrs. Unruh is official lecturer of the W. C. T. U. She Is in Philadelphia to conduct a campaign of a week against the demon drink. "Seaborn Wright of Georgia was 'to have headed the onslaught, lut at the last moment he withdrew. Hence Mrs. Unruh was hurriedly summoned from the W. C. T. U. convention at Denver to fill his place. lng last night. Her schedule of speeches extends through till Monday. She plans to conduct several noonday shop meet ings among the working men. She will try to win them over to the prohibition movement. "Mrs. Unruh is a veteran campaigner for her chosen cause. For 25 years she has lectured In its favor. She has seen 11 leap to success. Now she. predicts its future. '"One half of the population of- the United States today Is living In dry ter ritory,' she says, 'and 76 per cent of this territory has been won from the liquor interests within one year. The growth of the temperance movement 1s one of the most remarkable things In modern history. . "'Georgia, Oklahoma, Alabama,' Mis sissippi and North Carolina are our new solid dry states. Our old ones are North Dakota, Maine and Kapsas. Most of our other strongholds are by counties In local option states. Gradually our hold is becoming complete. " 'Of course, the last stand of the liquor men will be made In the great cities. Under the local option plan we could not win them. But this can be overcome. We have a state election, the country districts have the power, and the cities find themselves dry. In a short time they realize what a real benefit it is. Atlanta, which cried out against us at first, is now with us. " 'People ask us "What will take the place of the saloon as the worklngman's club?" The answer is Simple. The Toung Men's Christian Association, with lis wonderful educational advantages; the institutes, all sorts of humanita rian organizations, will not only replace the saloon, but will benefit our men In stead of making swine of them. " The remarkable spread of prohibi tion is not due to a hysteria, but to the fact that sober thought shows that it Is best. That is why we are winning, and shall continue to win.'
