The decision of the Supreme court
(May, 1898, Is Sup. CT. Rep. 674) proved
a shock to the liquor interest. 1t so far
reversed the decision in Scott and Donald
as to hold that, while persons may I'M
port liquor for private use, they may not
sell it even in the original packages.
But of far greater Importance was the
declaration that the dispensary acts in
their essential features are valid, that is,
furnish proper and constitutional
method of regulating the liquor traffic
through the domestic police power, and
that the state may take sole charge of
the business. For the first time in its
history, the dispensary system is no
longer hampered by court decisions, but
has been left by them in reasonable
and on the whole satisfactory state.
The present condition of the system in
South Carolina may be summed up as
follows:
The dispensary question is no longer Il
serious factor In politics. At state
democratic convention this year (the
white people of the state) the system
| was Endorsed by very large majority.
The liquor interest (the "blind tigers"
excepted) is demoralized and has dis
banded. In certain localities "blind
tigers" are still quite numerous, but
WELD little influence politically and are
getting into public disfavor.
The privilege to import liquors for
private use has robbed the personal
rights" people of their chief grievance,
and thus diminished the opposition to
the system. The loss of the patronage
of the comparatively few who will go to
the trouble of buying liquor out of the
state cannot seriously affect the business
of the dispensaries.

Freaks of Language.

A peculiar kind of laundering known as
"folk -etymology" is responsible for some of
the queerest freaks of language. An easy
example will make this clear, says Harper
Magazine. Our American word carryall for
a kind of vehicle Is not compound OF carry
and all, but a slight distortion OF the French
carriole, diminutive car. The change was
made in obedience to the universal tenden.
cy to assimilate the unknown to the known
Ito make words mean something by asso-
eating them with others which they re-
semble in sound. Often there is no ETY..
biological relation between the words asso.
ciated; as when sparrow grass is made out
of asparagus. This particular corruption
was once in such good colloquial use that
Walker, the photographer, wrote: Spar
rowgrass is so general that asparagus mas
an air OF stiffness and pedantry."

Removing the Motive for Selling.

Iowa endeavored to carry out the phil
anthropic idea of removing from the
liquor traffic the motive of private profit,
so long ago as 1854, by legislation which
appointed salaried county agents for the
sale of liquor, the specific reason given
for this legislation being that no private
person might be pecuniarily interested
In the sale of liquor. No state has thus
far succeeded in carrying out this idea.
The dispensary law of South Carolina
proposed to create complete state mo-
nopoly, with no private licensed traffic
and no Illicit traffic. and with all the
profits of the business going to the pub
lie treasury. This law, if successfully
carried into execution, would, it should
seem, remove from the traffic the motive
of private gain.
There is at present no American legis-
lation effective to this desirable end.

The fundamental conception in the
law is distinctly antagonistlc to the
theory that liquor-sellng is sinful or I'M
holy; for the state itself assumes the
whole of that business and takes Its
bitionists at the time of its enactment, 1t
flies in the face of all prohibitory theory.
1t has been enforced with remarkable
degree of success, but at great cost of
political and social antagonisms.

" The Liquor Problem"
Series of Extracts from the Reports of Pres c. w. Eliot

National Committee of Fifty
(Continued.)

fic makes This law was enacted In
1892 and has been amended and i'm
proved since at different sessions of the
state legislature. 1t has been an issue
in politics in that state since its passage,
but has been sustained by ever increas-
ing majorities. 1t has been opposed by
the prohibitlonists, who want absolute
(theoreticaD prohibition. and the
straight license men, who want to sell
for the profit in the sales.
1t started with 20 county dispensaries
and these have steadily increased. The
actual profits to the state and counties
in 1894 were 1872 ,19S16. The book
says
1t is quite within the truth to say that
no substitute for a license system has
been so thoroughly enforced in this
country as the dispensary act of South
Carolina. On social and political
grounds the opposition to the law has
been and is exceedingly bitter. Yet
while it cannot be said that the law is no
longer evaded even by the private cti-
zen who never traded in the contraband
goods, its mandates are generally heed
ed, but from necessity rather than from
choice.

Forty pages are devoted to the South
Carolina system, which is simply an
adaptation to the needs of that state of
the general Ideas of the Norwegian sys-
tenn, the essential idea of which Is that
the state shall control the traffic and the
profits shall be used by the state and
towns to support the paupers the traf-

goods, its mandates are generally heed
ed, but from necessity rather than from
choice.
In every municipality, with the ex-
ception of Charleston, the law Is we'll
enforced, and even in the latter, contra
band liquors have ceased to be an i'm
portant factor in consumption. Many
"blind tigers" still survive, but they
lead precarious existence; in numerous
places they have been driven to become
ambuators (pOcket peddlers).
Not until toward the close of 1894 had
systematic war of determination been
carried on against the "blind tigers"
and still many of them live, but in nu-
merous cases in state of semi-captivity.
In spite of these untoward circumstances
the arrests for drunkenness have dimin-
ished in remarkable degree under the
dispensary system, as shown by the fol-
lowing statistics:
In 1888 the total arrests for drunkenness,
and for drunkenness and dsorderly conduct,
Us, or 1925 per 1000 inhabitants; in 1889,
sos, or 1898; in 1890, Sol, or 1857; in
1891, $40, or 1881; 1892 600, or 1888;
1898, 4I2, or 7.29; 1894, 459, or 500.
In other cities Of the state, Spartan
burg, Aiken, Orangeburg, Florence,
Darlington, Georgetown and the rest,
the information collected shows conclu-
slvely that the arrests for drunkenness
have fallen off from One-thlrd to one-half
under the dispensary law.
1t Is then, beyond all cavil, true that
in the cities and towns formerly under
license the dlspensary law has promoted
SObrietV and in q truly wonderful de-
gree. The many evils nseparable from
ished with them, need not be dwelt up
on. 1t is equally self-evident that less
drinking means better conduct and
greater peace in the community.
Judging from the reported sales of
some dispensaries, their capacity in dis
tributing intoxicants is far greater than
that of ordinary saloons. Thus in one
place of less than two thousands inhab-
itants, which formerly had two bars, the
monthly sale of liquor has reached the
sum of about 5000, which would equal
$32 400 per year and yield profit to
town and county of about $4,000.
While the unbiased observer cannot
fail to be impressed by the changes
wrought by system which has closed
the saloons and nearly suppressed the
Illicit traffic, thousands remain blind to
them. The political opponents of the
dispensary authorities most often deny
that ought good has been accomplished
The prohibitionists will frequently not
even admit that drunkenness has been
reduced; the system never had nor can
have any affiliations with radical tenn
perance refOrmers.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1902-09-26

The dispensary act has been twice re-
enacted bodily, in 1896 and again in
1897, apparently for the purpose of
avoiding the effects of previous decisions
of the courts by securing pretext for
fresh argument on an alleged new act.
Two important changes in the law must
be noted: Cd A state board of control
of five members is now elected by the
general assembly to serve for one, two,
three, four and five years respectively !;
formerly the board consisted of the gov
ernor, comptroller-general and the at
torney general. (2) A provision rela-
tive to the importation for private use of
liquors from without the state requires
samples of such liquors to be analysed
by the state chemist in advance of their
importation, and that his certificate as to
purity" be attached to each package
purchased. By prescribing an impracti-
cable examination of liquors on the
ground of public welfare, it was hoped
to clrcumeent the tendency of previous
court decisions to allow the importation
of liquors for private use.

A LACK OF EVIDENCE
Against Man Suspected of Be-
ing a IS ugger"
OF DISTINGUISHED FAMILY
Mind Has Been Affected Since Grad
uation rrom College and He Has
Spent Large Part of Past Ten Years
In Insane Asylum

Boston, Nov. 5-Alan G. Mason, the
prominent clubman of this city, who
was detained by the state police yes
terday on suspicion of having muir
dered Miss Clara Morton last Saturday
in Waverley, and on suspicion of hav-
ing committed assaults on various
women in Boston and vicinity, will I'M
doubtedly be discharged when his case
comes up in the Cambridge court. 1t
is understood that Mason has entirely
cleared himself by proving an ali ii,
and that the police admit there is no
evidence on which the man can be
held. The arrest of Mason on suspicion
caused sensation in this city On ac-
count of the prominence of the maa
and on account of the extreme brutality
of the crimes of which he was sus-
pected.
Mason was arrested yesterday by
State Officers Durham and Rhoades
and driven to the state house at once
in a closed carriage. There he was
taken to Chief Wade's office, where he
was subjected to examination in the
presence of almost the entire state
force of detectives.
When the officers came Mason was at
breakfast with his mother, reading an
account of the suspicious against him
in the morning paper as he ate. Before
the officers had time to speak, he told
them he was expecting them, but added
that he could prove an alibi in all the
cases. He had already been warned
that he was suspected, but had evident
ly made no attempt to get away. When
he arrived at the state house, however,
he looked anxious and worried, with
dark rings under sleepless eyes.
Though his face was drawn, and his
lips, under close-cropped moustache,
trembled nervously, his outward APP
pearance was entirely composed
The suspected man was very nervous
under examination, and like all insane
persons, suspicious of every question.
He admitted, however, that he went
frequently to Waverley, and roamed
over the asylum grounds, because he
was familiar with the country and liked
it, He declared that he had not been
there for more than week.
He is said also to have referred
voluntarily to the McPhee murder i'm
pressing upon the officers that he would
be able to assist them in unravelli lg
the mystery of the crimes, for the man
who committed them, he declared.
should be brought to justice. He told
the officers that he was in Somerville
on the night Of the McPhce murder and
coming home through Cambridge on
a car at about half past nine, noticed
a man of rough and forbidding ap.
pearance on the seat opposite him. He
told his mother of this man on his ar.
rival home, and when he read the &C.
count of the assault the next day he
felt sure that he had seen the as
sailant.
During the afternoon, and at the con
clusion of a searching cross-cxamina
ton by Chief Wade of the state police
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1902-11-07

Mason was taken TO Cambridge police
headquarters. ID was in Cambridge
that the majority of the assaults toos
place and the conference with the
Cambridge police was for the purl,ose
Of examining the suspected man with
reference To- these cases. Mason Will
probably be arraisned In the Cambridge
court on suspicion Of having murdered
Miss Morton In WaveTley. This
town comes within the jurisdiction Of
the Third district court of MiddleseS,
which sits in Cambridge.
Mr. Mason comes Of a family well
Known in Boston and Cambridge. His
father, now dead. established the bust
ness of Mason q Hamlin, makers Of
pianos and church organs, a business
which his brothers still carry on.
These brothers. all OF whom are Har
ward men. are Edward L. Mason,
Henry l.. Mason and Daniel g. Mason.
The oldest of these Is president of the
concern, and Henry, who is next 10
Alan i'm age, vice president. Their
grandfather was Lowell Mason.
The man under arrest. who is more
than 40 years old, has never taken an
active part in the business, except of
late years TO work in the factory at
Cambridge. His mind has been af-
fected ever since his graduation from
college, and he has spent considerable
part of the past 10 years in the Nc
Lean asylum ut Waverley. In college
there was nothing the matter with him
mentally, and he was regarded as one
of the popular men of his class. Like
all his family, and as was natural from
their business connection, he had
marked musical tastes. lie was also
active in athletics.
The arrest has been only n matter OF
hours since the state police took hold
of the case. They were aided by the
fact that this last assault was com
mitted in Wayerley, where Mason was
| known as an insane man, and where
he was confined as recently rs last
year. Three people who knew him told
the officers that they had seen him neal
the scene of the murder after il was
committed. One man saw him con
ing from the direction of a pond on tn,
hospital grounds, where he might hav'
washed his hands, and the Others 10
| far from the same place.
