During tho'last few weeks Springville has often been roferred to by men who havo arrayed themselves on both sides of thts question. Some have asserted that largo quantities of whiskey was sold in spite of all efforts to prevent it, otherahavo claimed thnt.it ys not to bo had under any circumstaces. A visit to this much talked of city will convince the most skeptical that the ,latter assertion is not truo. Although, s'beforb Btated, prohibition is in vogue The first indication of it was seen not many rods .from the depot where a Bigh (8 conspiciously posted in the edge of a large mud. hobs of, unkno.wn . $depth notifying thjpaspr by that,4 Ijahing in thki ppnd is not allowqd, .1 am free to confess' that ,1 wad powerless to even pjctura species of fish tiat would inhabit in-habit such' a black, sticky place as that unless it was a fallen mud turtle that )ovdJje3nlQitrncisje4by4ier fellow turtlos. I have it from good authority that this hole hBB existed under prohibition since 'f2. How'Jong would it exist in Leiil under the- syajem of high license and progress? F;ivc years?" Not on youf lifo. Has anyone ever '.heard ofa counter in Spriagville that men could go behind and get' all they wanted? I had heard of it ofteii and acting on the information, XiUnng a receiit fml,l. looked.orit, antj found it. At least if not the sanio one a similiar oAe. I-was looking for all I waii ted too; and found 'that and Vney It the moment I saw it although it wad living under nn alias. "It was called Essence of Peppermint but it Tiad tlie sahie winnnltig 'sinile,' the ' same insinuating proclivities and tlicj samo lusty propositions aa if,if wereknown by its live name. " I had several short consultations con-sultations with it. It3 eloquence was as persusive ua of yore, it never was a a Sabbatarian and is not to-day. It will give you an audience ns readily on Sunday as on Monday. In Springyille, unfortunately, I did not havo the pleasure of being. Berved by a dainty little lass whose fairy fingers made.a fitting frame for a glass of it in a piohibition town. During my sojourn in sojourn in tlie city I heard frequent referenceR to dances nnd other Hk,e affairs. One dance in particular was icferrcd to as being highly interesting and an object lession to those who are so anxious to do away with saloons. Last Friday evening the youth o Springville had gathered to trip the light fantastic, and as is usually the custom in a prohibition town, King Alcohol was everywhere in evidence! his abiding places were many and his devotees were as jubilant and ns boisterous as could be found anywhere. The nbieo and confusion finally became so appalling that the manager of the party served notice that the hall would bo closed unless the uproar ceased. Perhaps this wns somewhat out of ordinary, but the following clipping rom the Spaingville Independent of Sept. 1) would lead us to believe so: "Last Sunday's crop of drunkenness was abundant t enough to meet the requirements of a saloon town. Tlie boozo on which the crop was nourished did not come from Spanish Fork and I'rovo all of it. This is a temperance town. Where did it crmefrom? And echo answers: Where?" Prohibition has not been any more succeessful seemingly in Springyille than in other places.. Whiskey is drank in all manner of places, it is brought into in-to town in .various ways; by rail,, by wagons and, in, pockets, and in spite of tlie vigilance of the ollicers can be had any day in the, week, and the city dbes no get one cent of revenue from the traffic. - - Maiiinku. i -mn V |
