themselves somewhat in the anti. cigar

soon be done to check the evil that bae
assumed alarming proportions among the
small boys. INSCRIPTIONS dealers seem
to have no compunctions of conscience
or fear of the law, and it is no unusual
sight to see little children of seven or
eight years putting away at these abom-
Unable things. This habit is a menace
to the good morals of the community,
and it is hoped that public sentiment
may do something by way of correction.
Several of our club members have an
nounced their intention of attending the
biennial at Milwaukee, the club going
on record by voting last Friday night
as opposed to reorganization. No club,
however small, wishes to be eutirely
ignored, if it belongs to the federation
and pays it's dues. Our year is drawing
neal its close, and We all feel that it has
been profitable one 10 many ways,
owing to the indefatigable work OF the
president, Mrs. Fellows, and the hearty
cooperation OF the leaders of depart
ments.

GOVERNMENT FOR FILL

Schurman Says the Constitution
Is Almost Identical With That
Drawn by Aguinaldo's Prime
Minister.

Chicago, Feb %. President
Schnrman, of Cornell university,
and former head of the Philip
pine commission, delivered an
address before the student BODY
of the Armour institute today, in
which he forecasted the report
and recommendations of the com
mission soon to be published at
Washington.
President Schurman said he had

FiIipinos, which is practically the
government policy outlined by
Thomas Jefferson for the govern

President Schurman said further
he was happy to state that Presi,

recommendations and wa. sending

this government in operation.

with only slight elaboration in the
American form. This constitu

that leading Filipinos have been
making of us dav after day.
"The newspapers have not
given publicity to the fact that We
are to give the Filipinos the very
government they themselves ask,

and pressure was brought to bear
upon dispensers 70 increase sales.
The annual salary paid common
county dispenser would buy thirty
bales of cotton, and he was given
to understand that his dispenssry
must ,be profitable to the State or
it would be closed and himself
dismissed from the service. The
sales increased at once and have
increased month by month ever
since; SO that today the State is
selling nearly as much liquor as
ever did the old barrooms in thor
palmiest days.
And how could it be other visei
The appetite tor drink is the
same and every hiudrance to the
sale Of liquor has been swept away.
The d""r of the dispensary stands
wide open to serve every one that
will buy. No knowledge of the
purchaser necessary, no inquiry
as tn the purpose for which the
liquor is wanted, and no signature
TO any request: simply paw your
money and take your liquor, as
much as you can carry, if you
like. SO indifferent and demorao
llzed have become our State and
county officials, that although
these violations of law are known
to all of them, they have neither
the manliness nor moral courage
to trv tn bring the offenders to
Justice
Tourist hotel privileges and
beer shops have been, and are
still, conducted under the very
nose of the governor of the State
without a shadow of law, and no
effort made to prevent it. Dis
penser atter dispenser has stolen
or lost the money of the State and
not one has ever been punished
or even prosecuted, except in ono
or two instances. Commissions
and rebates and bribes and
thefts and murders have been
the natural products of this sys
tenn of State liquor selling, and,
after years of such work, it's mana
gers still plead with us to "give
it fair trial.
Those who manage it SAY the
dispensary paid last year $3.50, :
900 to the education of the chill
dren of the State, but they did
not tell the startling fact that the
dispensary had drawn from the
people Of the State ut least 90
times as much and spent it in fat
salaries and other expenses, pur-
chaseS, ct, of the liquor system.
1t may bs said that in addition To
the $l3O,00O, the counties and
towns received a small sum each

incurred by the counties and towns
in the trial, punishment and sup-
port of criminals, who have been
made such by the liquor sold
them by the State, will far moro
than balance the money received
from the dispensary. We state
it modestly when we say the
present system of liquor selling
is robbing the people of tho State
of $50 for every dollar paid to
the State treasurer for educational
purposes. The State board of
control is sending out of our
State each year at least 81, 900,

PREP AIRED BY COMMITTEE
ELECTED AT JANUARY
CONFERENCE.
The Newspapers, Good Women
and Christian Ministers Called
on to Help the Cause.

'hV PioulpllloH conference nelQ
in Columbia on the | Q of January,
1900, adopted tho following:
"ResoIved, That Joel E Brun-
son, j 5 Moffatt, K d Smith, j

son and Jeremiah Smith he and
hereby are appointed to prepare
an address to the people of South
Carolina, setting forth the work
and Issues before us, and to plan
for and perfect no organization of
the pruhihitionists for the coming
campaign "
In accordance with the above,
we suomit the following address:
10 the People of South Carolina:
The prohihitionists of the State
! are encouraged to make another
appeal to the voters for a supreme
effort along the line for the aboli-
tion of the manufacture and sale
of liquor in South Carolina. For
many years tho men and women
of our State have t0iled earnestly
to effe.t legal prohibition of the
liquor traffic. and gratifying pros
gress was being made not only in
banishing the licensed saloon
from all territory without incor-
! porated towns aud cities, but
the Q WAS mach being accomplish
ed In the way of reducing the
mum her Of saloons here and there.
and also in securing control of
the smaller municipalities through
the ballot box or restrictive legis.
lation. This progress in temper
ance reform induced an appllca-
tlon to the regularl y constituted
authorities of tho Democratic
party in control of the election
machinery Of the State for a
. separate box in which to vote for
or against prohibition, and this
privilege was granted in the prl
mary election of 1892, resulting
in an overwhelming majority for
the legal pr ohibition Of the liquor
traffic, and along with this result
there WAS obtained a clear ma
Jorlty Of members in the lower
house, who passed strict prohi
bitory measure in accordance with
the verdict of the people. This
measure was defeated, however,
and in its stead was substituted
the dispensary law for the regula
tion and control of the traffic, an
importation that was recognized
rs contrary to the wishes of the
people and in direct conflict with
their ascertaired verdict. Thus
the dispensary began it's career
as a supplanter, and it has made
seven years of uncanny record,
marked by bloody and disgracefuj
steps from the beginning.
The present condition of the
liquor business can hardly be said
to be satisfactory to a single in,
telligent person in the State
Whom the dispensary law was FIRST
adopted. thousands of our honest
people hoped for, and expecte
much from it. They were tol
