CANT GET YOUR VOTE OUT

The only hope the liquor men
have in Mondays election is that
many voters, who at heart are for
temperance, will not vote. They
are begging everybody they can
beg and threatening everybody
they think they can boycott, not to
vote. They are buying every vote
that is for sale for the saloon. But
with all that, their chief hope is
that many good citizens will stay
away from the polls.
They are already saying to the
anti-sa1oon leaders: you may
have the votes but you cannot get
them to vote IF the cause is lost
it will be lost by men who will
shirk the performance of their
high duty.
Let every man vote and vote
against saloons!

bitterly opposed to the Dispensary,
say that he did not drink anything
like as much whiskey since the Dis
pensary was established as he did
before n the same length of time,
for the sufficient reason that it
frequently happened that when he
wante,. to drink he did not have
the money; and as he could not buy
the whiskey on credit, he simply
had to go without. A short time
before the Dispensary was estab-
ished was in a gent1eman's place
of business in this town when a
sa1oon-kceper sent in a bill for
eight dollars. The man said that
he supposed it must be all right,
but that he did not know. He
then explained to me that few
nights before he had spent several
hours in the saloon ordering drinks
freely for himself and his friends,
and the eight dollar bill was the
result. Now this could not have
happened under the Dispensary
system, because (a) the man could
not have been in a saloon; Cb) the
Dispcnsary is not open at night;
(c) no drinking in the Dispensary
is allowed; (d) no man is in cold
blood going to order eight dollars
worth of whiskey and pay cash for
it, for one treat.
6. The Dispensary is helpful to
the wage-carners, those men who
work hard all the week and SO FREE
quent1y spend a large portion of
their earnings on a Saturday night
debauch in a saloon. The falling
off of this habit, especially among
the co1ored people, has been re-
markab1e, and there has been saved
to the wage-earner and his family
both his money and respect.
z. The Dispensary has been a po-
tent factor in the publication Of
politics, ana makes nightly for
civic righteousness. AS the Con-
stitutional Amendment eliminated
from politics a large percentage of
the purchasab1e vote, so the Dis
pensary eliminated the ''whiskey
ring" The coming of the Dispen-
sary marks the passing of the
"whiskey ring" In the absence of
the saloon the "ring" has nothing
to hang on, nothing to feed on. 1t
starvcs to death. It is trite to say
that in all campaigns fought on
moral lines the whiskey ring has
been lion in the path. Men who
can not be bought can be seduced
and debauched. Under the Dispen-
sary system this formidable enemy
Of all reforms is quietly eliminat-
ed, and there is a chance to fight
out every question fairly and ON
it's merits. This one fact makes
good the right of the Dispensary
to live until some wiser and better
plan is devised to take it's place.
The champions of the Dispensary
do not claim to have reached the
land of Canaan; but then it must
not be forgotten that Egypt is be-
hind.

UP TO CHURCH MEMBERS.

There are not a few people in
Raleigh, who do not belong to any
church, who will vote against the
saloons. But the membership of
the Christian churches of the city
of Raleigh constitutes a majority
of the registered voters.
The greatest enemy of the church
is the saloon. What does it profit
a church to preach against intern
perance and then for it's members
to vote with the sa1oon-keepers to
keep the twenty-four saloons in
Raleigh open 10 hours every day in
the year?
eff the members of the churches
in Raleigh vote as they pray, the
temperance forces will win great
victory on Monday" said a we'll
known minister yesterday.

1t Works Well
Best Solution of the
Liquor Question.
s. Per Cent of LOuiSburg
Voters Endorse Dis
pensary Plan of
Handling.
(By T. w. Beckett. ESD

You ask me to tell in an article
of one thousand words How the
Dispensary Works in Louisburg."
1t works well. speak conserva-
lively when I say that eighty-five
per cent of the qualified voters of
the town believe it is the best So
luton of the whiskey problem pos
sib1e under existing conditions. It's
best friends do not claim that it
is an ideal to be satisfied with, but
it is a great practical reform and
a long stride towards the annihi1a-
ton of the drink evil. Men here
who were strongly opposed to it's
establishment, and others who
were honestly skeptica1 of it's ac-
compIishing any good, are now
warm advocates of it's continuance.
I have talked with mayors of the
town WHO have served both before
and after the establishment of the
dispensary, with the pastors of the
churches, with business men of
every kind, and with many of the
women of the place, and from what
I have learned in this way, as well
as from my personal observations,
I am able to state the following
facts in regard to the -4ouisburg
Dispensary:
/. 1t pays. Last year the public
realized five thousand dollars net
from the Dispensary. The total
amount realized by the public from
the six saloons which were here
before the Dispensary was twelve
hundred dollars per annum; so that
from the low viewpoint of dollars
and cents the Dispensary beats the
saloon four to one.
2. 1t reduces the temptations to
drink to the minimum. The social
feature of drinking is eliminated
and on that account the drinking
among the young men of the town
has been cut down at least fifty per
cent.
3. It has abolished night drink
ing. The doors are closed prompt
ly at sunset, and there is no such
thing as ''the boys" assembling in
a saloon for might off,"
4. Absolutely no whiskey is sold
on Sunday.
5. 1t reduces the amount of whis-
key consumed by the regulars"
for the reason that the hard cash
must be paid or no delivery. You
can not "run your face" at the Dis
pensary. The writer heard an in

ABOUT POLL TAX.

No man can vote Monday who did
not pay his poll tax before May
1st, 1908, unless he became of age
after June 1st, 1902, or was fifty
years old on that date. No man
ought to offer to vote unless he has
paid his poll tax. IF any man has
registered under a nisapprehen-
sion, he should stay away. The law
is so plain that he who runs may
read. The penalty for false swear
ing will be enforced. Let every
man Offering to swear be required

SALOON VS.. DIsPENsARY.

In Fayetteville, under saloons
$3,25O was paid annually to the
city, county and State. A dispen-
sary was established, the consump-
ton of liquor was reduced 66 per
cent. crime was reduced so per
cent, and the State, county and city
received SIS, 591.39. After awhile
the dispensary was abolished in
Fayetteville, but did they go back
to saloons? No they put prohibi-
ton in operation. Towns that close
up saloons seldom re-open them.
IF you are a Prohibitionist, vote
for a Dispensary in Raleigh. If it
does not work well, the experience
in Fayetteville shows that it is but
a step to Prohibition.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1903-10-04

When this anti-saloon campaign
opened in Raleigh there was one
woman who advised her SON to vote
against the dispensary. Later,
when she reflected upon the mat
ter, she sent for him and begged
him to vote against the saloons,
though she has building she rents
to q saloon.
There is not a mother in the city
of Raleigh who is not against the
saloon and who is not praying for
the success of the temperance
forces.
Mothers, sooner than others, di-
vine the influences that are set to
endanger the lives and character
of their offspring.
