Calling Scotland Great Britain’s Kentucky is‘ no “hay iigure of speech. Even aside from whisky manufacture. there [in 'some re- semblance. Both have highlands and lowlands. Scotland is 30.405 square miles In extent. and Ken» tacky to. 698. In Scotland. as in Kentucky. the main proponents of temperance and prohibition are "the Proteatent’ evangelical churches. But the ion of the drys in Sect- land is harder than it as in Ken- tuo'ky. In the first pla .Scotiand has more big cities. and cities sis ways are strongholds of the wets. Scotland numbers 4.2883. 88 people as against Kentucky' a 2.418. 630., Furthermore. the job of the dry- is made diiilcult he the attitude of the newspaper-1 The Scotch press 1.‘ almost oxerwhelmingly wet. There does not seem to be in Scot- small- town press which is dry and Ihich has a great. influence in the rural districts. Law Handicaps Dru. But the greatest handicap the drys have is in the law itself. the Scotland Temperance Act of 1913. According to this Scotch statu‘ .ze Whonmer 10 per cent of the reg- istered voters in a voting area sign a. petition asking for a temperance vote. an election is held.’1‘hros questions must be sulzmlt-‘ed: 1. No-license. If this is carried. it means that no public houses can secure licenses but hotels or inns can serve drinks to their guests. and restaurants may serve drinks with genuine meals. 2. Limitation otllctnses. It this is carried the number of public houses in the district has to be cut down by one-fourth. It such a measure is rcafllrmed in a. succeed- ing electlog. another fourth of the places are closed. 3. No change. It will be seen that glxing the \ot- are three options already weighs the election in favor of the wets. But land, as there use in Kentucky. a. there is more. To carry a no-llccnsc ; A!

Furthermore. the votes they get must constitute at least 85 per cent of all electors. Once an election is held, no other can be held in lha,aamo district until three years have elapsed. Scotland's battle differs from that in Kent1 e .y and America in this re- gard. In America the law “as such and the sen‘. iment of lho people “as such that once a country or town went. dry. it scarcely if ever voted not again. Once Dry. Not Always Dry. In Scotland. the law is such and the sentiment of the people is so shifting. that some of the districts which went dry. later have repealed their own decision. in America before national bro- htbltion. it was often town against country. The ordinary man, think- ing about Scotland, would imagine that iishing folk who venture forth on the stormy son; would vote to keep their “wee drappic." But they would be wrong. Many of the fishermen in the small sea- coast villages are ardent. church- men. and have" voted their hamlets dry and kept them dry There. are similar stlnnge 1esul‘. s I as regards ”to big cities, Glasgow and Edinburgh look upon each other in very much the same way that New York and Boston used to. Glasgow'is pre‘ominently the city or big business. of commerce, of 111onoy. 'Edlnburgh is the aristocra- tic town, the town of culture and refinement. And Glasgow has a bad name for slums and terrible scenes of drunk- cnncss. Edinburgh Increasingly “'et. But Edinburgh voted solidly wet in all its wards in every election so far held. And Glasgow. in 1920. out of its 37 wards, voted for no saloons in four wards and for limitation of saloons in nine other wards. In 1923 Edinburgh stuck to its wetness by increased majorities. Glasgow stuck to its dryness. All the queer freaks seen in America, during our fight are oh- sen-able in Scotland. Siewarton, 20 miles from Glasgow. and h from Kilmarnock, has been dry for six years. But busses take droves of men to Kilmarnock. And the sten— nrton shopkeepers claim the wives accompany their husbands.
