EFFECTIVE TEMPERANCE LAWS

Nebraska has liquor law Which
combines the high license with the
local option principle. The State hikes
$500 as the minimum license fee for
saloon and permits each civil district
TO add whatever sum il chooses To the
amount. Communities which do not
desire saloons tax them out OF
existence. Omaha has 200 saloons
each of which pays 81, 900 tor license
The city thus derives $500. 600 OF
revenue from saloons. which arc
operated under very stringent regula-
tions.
The Ainany Argus having stated
that "whiIe losing ground In other
parts of the country, prohibition is
steadily gaining In the South, the
Washington Post corrects the state
ments by giving the facts as follows
s.While 1t Is literally true that pro
hibition is steadily gaining in the
South, the statement conveys an err
roneous impression, for there Is not a
single prohibition State In that Sec
ton. Indeed, there is now only one
prohibition State in that part OF the
country lying east of the Mississippi.
and but one or two west of that river.
Maine, the originator of that sort OF
Legislation, now stands alone in the
New England, the Middle, the North
western, and the Southern States.
Even Connecticut and New Hampshire
and all the rest of her lovely COM
panIons have faced and gone, and 1t
Is not highly improbable that she may
before long abandon the impossi BILE
ana try the practicable in her fight
against the liquor traffic. While the
South has no State prohibition. it mas
laws that do more prohibiting than
any other scheme that has ever Deen
devised. Local option. permitting
each city and county to decide for 1t
self whether or not it will license
saloons, is the Southern method for
securing prohibition that really does
prohibit. No State law can put
period to the traffic in intoxicants In
any community where 1t is not sup
ported by strong public sentiment.
This Is the lesson of more than half a
century OF experimentation. Dozens
OF states have tried it ana after years
of disgraceful and aemoFallzlng failure
lave given it up. Coupling high
license with local option makes law
that works we'll III both urban and
rural localities. 1t permits com,
munlty that does not want the saloon
to keep 1t out, and 1t adds largely to
The revenues Of cities, where prohibi
ton is impracticable."
This Is Tennessee's policy ana

THAT ALLEGED ALLIANCE.

The Knoxville Journal is the leading
Republican paper ia Tennessee and the
only Republican daily south Of Louis
willie. Concerning the circulated state
ments that there is to be a combination
of the Republicans and liquor dealers
in next years campain in this State, the
Journal says:
IL has been long time since there has
been anything in Tennessee politics that
/ has exhibited larger amount OF una
ldulterated foolishness or less Of the ele-
ment of probability. than the talk OF an
alliance between the Republicans OF the
State and the saloon men The Repub-
licans in the last Legislature who voted
for the Adams law reflected the senti
ments of at least three fourths of the
marty in the State The saloon men
would not enter into an alliance with the
Republicans of the State if they could,
AMI the Republican leaders could not
successfully ratify such an alliance II
they would.
The Journals statement is doubtless
true, so far as the Republicans of the
State" is concerned. Neither the kepub-
licans nor the liquor dealers would care
for each others company all over the
State. But that there will be an under
standing between them to hell each other
out in close places, hardly admits OF a
doubt; and that Maury county is one of
those ''close places" can be proven. The
deal was made last winter The parties
to it are laying low and keeping quiet
enough now, but they understand each
other all the same and none the less, and
the issue they made they must meet
They would like to "still hunt" their
deal through, but the Herald is here to
see that they don't. They would like to
change the Issue if they could, and tight
it out on Senatorial lines; they shot off
their mouth too loud and too quick,
however, and threatened too severely to
chastise certain men for temperance
votes; and albeit they are quiet and
orderly and we'll, behaved now, they
mean to do, if they can, just what they
said they would do. But can theyS

A writer in an exchange says that
to be intereting one must be interest
ed, and this is certainly true, as only
the man or woman with tact to att
least appear interested in the CONVEX
sation or interests Of other people,
need hope to earn the name of being
either charming or interesting. The
good listener is at a premium in So
ciety and is always popular. The per-
son who permits himself to betray that
he is bored by other peoples commun-
that he is not interested and only
waits his turn to begin his own story
or experience, is one that every one
avoids intuitively. But the interest
ed listener, who is not too self-ab-
sorbed or tasteless to appear vitality
interested in the conversation of
others, who, b magnetic, fiattering at
tention, brings out our best, conversa-
tionally, and brightens ours with. is the
popular person. This is the type of
man or woman, who wins the name of
being charming" or "delightfuP' and
is always sought after by others.
The question of holiday gifts is
perplexing the mind of the average
man and woman at this time. Every
year the same problem confronts us
and despite our good resolutions to
provide for this yearly ordeal by exer-
cising foresight, and industry all
through the summer and fall, Christ
mas week, as usual, finds most of us
unprepared and with racked nerves
and brains, trying to select suitable
gifts for our friends and relatives.
A list of articles appropriate and &C.
| ceptable may be of service in sug-
costing some one IA gift hitherto I'M
thought Of so one is given herewith.
Next to cush Ions in durability, in
the writers opinion, pot plant, either
| fern or palm or some blooming plant
| should rank A handsome palm or
fern or jar of hyacinths or othr bulbs
in bloom, with a crepe paper cover,
ribbon, tied about the jar, is a most
acceptable gift, and one easily achiev-
ed. Pretty china, lamps, silver, lac
quered trays, vases, etc, are among
the ready-to-give purchasable gifts.
For the clever needle woman, of course
there ere bags and cushions, handker-
chiefs. collars and hosts of other
things, but these require time and
are usually provided for before the
last minute" An always desirable
gift is handsome umbrella. Silver
toilet articles and cut glass give wide
choice but something to be especially
considered is the individual taste or
need of the recipient. This touch OF
careful thought adds an hundred fold
to the value of the gift.
