Conflicting License Laws

The permit TO sell liquor in South
Carolina, issued by the United States
Internal Revenue Department, is not
a license" in the proper sense of that
term, because the United States gov
eminent does not authorize the sale of
whisky contrary to state law. 1t is
mere evidence that the tax required
by the government of retailers has
been paid and will serve to protect the
sellers of liquor against prosecution by
the United States authorities. 1t is
evident though that no one would pay
for this privilege without intending to
make use Of it. 1 will remark in pass
ing, that it is nomaloUs that the Unit
ed States government should appear to
encourage violation of state laws by
issuing licenses or permits to sell to
persons in a state where the sale is
prohibited or is allowed only to bond
ed state officers. One would suppose
the national government would aid in
every way possible in the enforcement
of state laws but instead the opposite
policy obtains as far as whisky is con-
cerned. Frank Leslieis Popular

THE MIDDLE WEST
IN THE SLAVERY STRUGGLE

While settlement had been crossing
the Ohio to the northwest. the spread
Of cotton culture and negro slavery
into the southwest had been equally
significant. writes Frederick J. Turner
IN the International Monthly for De
cember What the New England states
and New York were in the occupation
Of the middle west Virginia. the Caro-
linas. and Georgia We're in the occupa-
tiOn of the gulf states. But. as in the
case Of the northwest. a modification
of the original stock occurred in the
new environment A greater energy
and initiative appeared in the new
southern lands; the pioneers devotion

was placed transferred slavery from

gulf states. The had a program of ac-
ton. Abraham Lincoln migrated from
Kentucky to Indiana and to Illinois,
Jefferson Davis moved from Kentucky
to Louisiana and thence to MISSISSIPPI
pi, in the same period. Starting from
the same locality. each represented the
divergent flow of streams Of settlement
into cOntrasted environments. The re
suit Of these antagunistiC streams of
migration to the west was a struggle
between the lake and prarier plains
men. on the one side, and the gulf
plainsmen on the other. for the pos
session of the Mississippi valley. 1t
was the crucial part of the struggle
between the northern and southern
sections Of the nation. What gave
slavery and state sovereignty their
power as issues was the fact that they
involved the question of dominance
over common territory in an expand
ing nation. The place Of the middle
west in the origin and settlement Of
the great slavery struggle is of the
highest significance.

Pm tired of all this barter at
Christmas time; l wish l could give
a present to somebody who does not
evnect if and who would not send a
gift in return" complained Grace
Aiken as she leaned over the big arm
chair in which her pet brother smoked
his pet pipe and devised a new scheme
of football tactics for next season.
The unwonted note of complaint in the
tone reused him from his reverie, and,
emptying his pipe on the hearth, ne
drew the head with its coil of yellow
hair down upon his shoulder as Grace
slipped around to get nearer her ever

cheeks to blossom as twin red roses.
Yes, 1 know Ned is poor-and
proud,-but somehow l can't bring my
self to give him anything. He has al

time, ever since I've known him, so 1
could not have my desire of giving with
no return. even in his case"
Ned made a great centre rush on
our high school team" said Carl; too
bad he couldn't go to college. Nice
fellow Ned. but hampered by that
wild brother of his. I guess Ned is

debts and caring for the widowed
mother. Yes. a mighty good fellow.

soft arms about his neck and a soft
err kiss upon his cheek, but before he
could respond with his usually broth

ASPROMONTE.
By T. w. Parsons

Beauty made glad the day,-and sad
ness glad;
So, without sorrow, to the grove we
wandered
Where lie the loved ones in their
myrtle bed.
Till then 1 never knew peace-parted
souls
Could unto souls on earth give bene-
dictiOn
OF peace like that which they enjoy in
heaven.
For surely. as We sat there in the sun,
on the fresh turf, there seemed a Pax
vobiscum"
Descending on us with each dropping
leaf;
And on their graves I think, almost,
we laughed,
Recalling words of theirs. and pretty
customs,
Until Death seemed. as 'twere, a pleas
ant thing.
And when we unused, AT home we miss
