THE DISPENSARY A FAILURE.

Mrs. Lillian NJ Stevens, national
president of the w. C. T. U. has re-
turned from long TRIP through the
South. She says she had very
good opportunity of studying the dis
pensary system of dealing with the
liquor traffic. Concerning it's prac-
teal workings Mrs. Stevens says:
eve are confident that as a temperance
measure it is a failure, the same as are
all other forms of license. 1t is probable
by statistics that the quantity of alcoholic
liquors sold in South Carolina has in
creased rather than diminished by the dis
pensary system, We consider that it is
wrong in principle and moreover the re-
strictive or prohibitory features of the law
are violated as much, even more than is
the law in prohibition states.
eve were in a town several days where
there has been a dspensary for eight
or ten years and because 50 much liquor is
dispensed contrary to law, the people have
ceased to call it a dispensary and now
sneak of it as 1.-THE tank During one
day of our stay there were six arrests for

A RAILWAY CONVERSATION.

A friendly debate on the train yes
terday brought out the following
points: Disputant No. 1 said, in eff
feet
Prohibition can never win, it is too
unpopular.
Disputant No. 2 said: There is no
institution as universally hated as the
saloon, consequently Prohibition will
win.
No, 1. The way to deal with the
drink question is by moral suasion;
teach the boys the evils of intern
perance; educate the people to avoid
the drink habit.
No. g. For a hundred years that
method has been tried, and the per
capita consumption of alcoholics is
larger today by many hundred fold
than it was quarter of a century
ago.
No. 1. You Prohibitionists are I'M
dertaking far too much; the job is
too big, the reform is too sweeping.
No. 2. The weakness of all meth
DDS attempted heretofore has been
they did not undertake enough. They
seek to regulate that which should
be destroyed. Instead of sweeping
out of existence the whole nefarious
business they provide for it's con-
tinued existence. The Prohibition
party proposes to tear up and utter
ly destroy, root and branch, the
abomination that you and all other
good citizens already despise and
loathe.
No. 1. Well, I wish you success I
do not think it will win in thousand
years, but go ahead, I hope you will
succeed.
Had No. been disposed to carry
the discussion little farther he would
have insisted that No. 1 by his last
remark fastened upon himself an obli-
cation to do what he can to accom-
plish the object that he hopes will
win. There are several million men
like him in this country-all waiting
for the Prohibition wagon to reach
the top of the hill; then they will
jump in and take a ride.-Monitor,

About two years ago Warren was
quite and peaceful little city, although
some blind pigging was going on. These
were taken up and fined several times. At
ter this the people said that 1--WE might as
well have open saloons because there is
just as much drinking going on as if
there were no open saloons" So in the
spring of 1900 the saloons were voted in,
and again this spring, and what have we
seen and heard? Men now go staggering

THE PRESBYTERIANS.

Temperance day at the Presbyterian
General Assembly brought out much
interest in the issue. A positive stand
was taken against the extension of
the liquor traffic to our foreign terri
tory and the Assembly put it's stamp
of disapproval upon the canteen.
Over 100000 pages of temperance
literature have been distributed dur

A paper on Poverty. and Degener-
acy Caused by Drink" by DR.. N. S.
Davis, president of the American
Medical Temperance Association, was
read during the associations recent
session in st. Paul. The author
argued that the licensing of the liquor
traffic is illogical, because the cost of
the evils resulting from the traffic is
far greater than the amount of the
license revenue. Said DR.. Davis:
IF alcoholic liquors are legitimate ar
ticles of commerce and popular use, the
traffic in them should be free to all, rich
and poor alike; or if they are really SUBJ
tie, deceptive and dangerous poisons, they
should be placed on the statutes of the
several states with arsenic, corrosive
sublimate, strychnine and other poisons,
to be sold and used under the same regu-
lations as the other articles named"

worse than the people who are arrayed
against gambling can imagine.
IF they cut off the gambling houses
those that are operated upon a le-
climate basis and at a fair percentage,
they drive some of the professionals to
verse forms of gambling. They put
them in a position where they must
work suckers. That means that two or
more of them will gather a man in

no show in such a game as they would
frame up for him. That is not the case.
