Bannered across the front page of the London Evening News one afternoon last week were the headlines:
PROHIBITION IS DEAD-
THE MORMONS KILLED IT-
WHOOPEE-
HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN
The London Star's headlines squawled:
THE DECIDING VOTE BY LATTER DAY SAINTS
Thus did whiskey-producing Britain greet the 5-to-4 vote by which Utah last week became the 36th Repeal State. Americans, knowing for some time that Repeal was a certainty, were not excited or much surprised that quiet Utah should have been the deciding State.
