...about 4000 B. C., and come from Tello in Southern Babylonia. The essential feature of the script, after the period of picture writing was past, is the wedge. These in combination make all the signs, several hundred in number. The script read at first downwards, but afterwards to the right. The wedges have but three directions, horizontal, perpendicular, or oblique, at an angle of about forty-five degrees.

The principles of every constitution have all been proved successes. The same cannot be said of prohibition. Again, the theory of governments is to leave as much as possible to local bodies; hence if the people of Massacnusetts want prohibition let each separate city council voth for prohibition...
