Gothenburg system and establishes
purity of motive on the part OF the d.
rectora of the monopoly.
Under the Norwegian plan the mu-
nicipal council has more to do with the
arrangements than in Sweden. The sites
selected for selling agencies must re-
ceive its sanction. The appointment Of
all managers, stewards and other Off
Gals must be ratified, and any changes
in the regulations must have its approx
al. The books and accounts of the So
ciety are always open to the inspection
os members of the council, and are
audited annually by official accountants.
a portion of the board of directors is
elected by the vote of the council and
can be removed in the came manner.
THE popularity of the system Is SO
great that it has already been adopted
in fifty-one out of fifty-four towns ana.
cities in Norway. In the other three
prohibition is enforced. Under the gen
eral law local option prevails, and all.
men and women over 20 years are al
LEVIED to vote ON ALI questions relating
to the liquor traffic. Public sentiment
has thus sanctioned the modified
Gothenburg system, altho the prohibi-
tionists continue their attacks with
great energy and are unusually strong
IN Norway.
1.-The Norwegian Total Abstinence So
ciety, which is the basis of the prohibi-
ton movement, has 1920 associations
turnout the Kingdom. with 129, 259 mem-
bers. There are 352 lodges of Good Tenn
plars, with 17,735 members and 5000
children. The grand lodge numbers
1900. The Women's Total Abstinence
Society has Q, $50 members. and the Blue
Ribbon Society about 1900 All these
organizations are actively engaged in
opposition to the existing system. and
occasionally win a victory and secure
tie passage of prohibition laws in some
of the towns and villages. They use the.
same arguments against the Gothenburg
system that are advanced in Sweden
and were enumerated in a recent letter.
But the great mass of the thinking peo-
pie supported by the police authorities,
the Judges of the courts and the keepers
of reformatory institutions. agree as to
the effectiveness of the Gothenburg sys-
tenn in decreasing drunkenness, poverty
and crime and in promoting temperance
and order.
Mr.. Curtis wants to be fair, SO he
gives the other side of the story:
THE prohibitionists oppose the Goth
enburg system for several reasons,
namely.
Il. Because 1T is a compromise with
sin.
%. Because it stamps with official
sanction one of the most degrading OF
vices.
"3. Because 1t compels man to buy
a bottle of liquor when he wants more
than one drink, and thus tempts him to
spend more money than he can afford
ard drink more liquor than he desires.
q. 1t Induces families to lay In stocks
of liquors. which are constant tempta-
ton.
70. The profits are so large as to
tempt taxpayers to encourage the pat
ronage of the agencies In order to reduce
taxation In other directions
&c. If the Gothenburg system has re-
,duced consumption and decreased pow
orty and crime to the extent claimed by
its advocates, 1t SIMPLY demonstrates

PROHIBITION INTEAIPERANCE.
[Odebolt Chronicle.l
When some fanatic asks you to vote
the prohibition ticket. read to him this
horrible manifesto issued by the pro-
hibition candidate for president last
November, just after the election OF
Mckinley:
again / say. rejoice! The country
has gone republican it is true; the gin
mill re-enters, the voting church
belches the stencil of leeks and onions
and calls it prayer. William of Jolo,
concubines, dedicated TO second
term. For when, doubtless. he would
have listened to the voice of the Chris
tian motherhood. saying, 'avenge me
on my enemy, he had to pull his fore
lock limp with the sweat of a coward,
and say. One is my master. even the
saloons and all We are fools Now
for the campaign of 1904; we have the
liquor traffic cornered in the white
house. For the honor Of the church.
close in and kill.-John G. Wooley.''
And then, IL he shamelessly persists.
quote to him the following from the
prohibition national platform OF 1900
and ask him II he thinks decent people
want anything to do with such an or
ganization:
We charge upon President Mckinley
that by his conspicuous example as a
wine drinker at public banQuets, and as
a wine-serving host in the white house,
he has done more to encourage the
liquor business, to demoralize the tenn
perance habits of Young men, and to
bring Christian practices and require
ments into disrepute than any other
president this country has ever had.
He has outraged and insulted the moral
sentiment Of this country"

Another international match OF interest
alike TO the society here and in England
will be that of Miss Pauline Aston and
the Duke OF Roxburghe. The fance Of
the young American is the fifth duke of
his line, having succeeded to his title m
1892 He has large estate and hand
some rent roll. His chief seat is Floors
Castle, Kelso, Scotland, a fine old historic
place. He won his spurs in South Africa,
whence he has lately returned. His
mother, the present Duchess of RoX-
burghe, and his grandmother long were
intimately associated with the court in
personal attendance on the late Queen
Victoria as ladies of the bedchamber. The
mother was in addition from 1880 TO 1885
mistress of the robes. She was great
favorite with the late Queen. The dukes
family name, Innes-Ker, is the result Of
the union Of two families which occurred
in 1866, the descent passing into the fe-
male line through an heiress of the Kers,
a family that had received the royal
barony of Aud Roxburghe as early as
1452 According 10. accounts from London,
the formal announcement OF the betrothai
meets with general commendation, as 1t
has been an open SECRET for some time that
the duke was an earnest and most dlsln-
terested sutton forathe beiress' hand. Miss
Astor is about twenty-five years old, and
