...Anson says that the men are strictly prohibitionists, and are determined to remain so, tempted by that $300 to $400 extra inducement as a reward for constant sobriety. The season is young yet, and the sultry atmosphere of July and August has not invited them “to seek the consolation which the bar-room grants.” One old weather-beaten toper, when he heard that Anson's Prohibitionists wouldn't drink any more, said the other day that “you can't reform a common drunkard in one season,” and he knew what he was talking about.
