He presented a start- lingarray of facts proving that prohibition neither dimishes crime, lossens drunkens ness nor betters the worals of the people, but on the other hand begets wholesale h ypocrasy and perjury.

Cretguon, Neb., Oct. 20— [Special to T Bee]—Hon, E Rosewater discussed the question of the prohibitive amendment at the opers house in thiscity last night. During the day farmers from Knox, Antelope and Pierce counties gathered tolisten to the celo- brated speaker. Early in the cvening the opera house, the most commodious in northe erv Nebraska, was crowded to its utmost capacity, many being unable to gain admise sion. Captain A. C. Logan introduced Mr, Rosewater as “probably the most distin. guished citizen of Nebraska.™ Ihe speaker was greeted with a storm of applause, and in opening said : “Iam gatifid to meet in your city so large an audience. [ take it that everyotie in Nebraska, whether they agree with ‘me on tneproposition [ am about to discuss or not, avecarnest 1n their desire to promote the bestinterests of the state, anl that it is siwiply w question of the eficacy of the means sought to be used to bring this about.” Mr. Ruosewater then took up the principles of prohivition as expounded by Neal Dow at the Cineinnati convention, and procecded to show that the results in the states which have enactea prohibition laws have not bad the effect of promoting the principles enun- ciated by Mr. Dow. oom‘a:rhon of crimes, insanity lndrrupeflm in of Kansas and Nebraska was Towa, made, much to the latter's advantage. Taxes, county and mu- nicipal bouds in the three states, by compar- ison placed Kansas and l[owa below Ne- braska in prosperity. The same was made clearly apparent in 4 comparison of the num- ber of farm mo:tgage foreclosures. The com- pantive growth of popuiation and wealth of the past decade was made, showing Ne- braska farin the iead of the trioof western states mentioned. Duringthe discourse the large audience gave the speuker tho closest attention and not a_ few votes were made against the amendment. Mr. Ros:water at O'Neill O'NEenL, Neb, Oct. pecial Telegram to Tne Ber)—A very large audieuce of ladies and gentlemen, including many of the most prominent prohibitionists of 0'Neill and 7icinity assembled this eveningat the court house to listen to the addresses of Hon, E. Rosewater on the question of the pro- hibitory amendment. Mr. Rosowater held theattention of the audieuce for nearly two hours. Inopening the speaker said he had every respect for those who from principle differed from himon the question at issue. In reply to the probibition speak~ Mr. Benson, who spoke here last night f. we amendment, he ead from Benson's book several paragraphs to the effect that the appetite of the drunkard cannot beregulated by law. He then read from thecrime reports of a number of leading dailies of the country, showing that a smald = percentage of the cr committed are caused by intoxicating drinks. He read sta- tistics showing that there re more pris- ouers in proportion to the population iu pro- hiviton states than io Nebraska, aud :lso more insanity and_less material prosperity. He then contrasted the schools of N with those of prohibition ] what the effects would be under prohibition in ourstate. He closed with a lengthy sccount of facts drawn from his own expericnce in pronibition states and read the ments of I and Kansas 1 Omaba who express their be- hibition hus b injurious business in those states. The pplaudsd. 106, in b to general speaker was frequentl One lady in the au zeal so far forvot herself as to interruptthe speaker, and when Mr, Rosewater very politely asked herto repeat what she had Said so that he might kuow what to re dogged silence.
