.As PRACTICAL QUESTION.

Rev Dr.. r.! II. Wines, OF Washington,
e who came to Richmond by invitation
i pf the General Assembly to make talk
before members OF that body on the sub
jeot OF public charities. took occasion
Swhile here, at the request OF the editor
II Of this paper. to give his views on the
subject OF prohibition. +
We have several times referred to DR..
\ Wines In connection with the subject
%pf public charities, because he has de-
voted thirty years" OF his life to the
j study OF that question, and understands,
si e IN practice as well as in theory. We
y IRE also interested In his views on pro-.
= Inhibition, because he was member OF
the Committee OF Fifty for the scien-
A. tho Study Of the Drink Problem, and
I spent year In the personal investigation
81 OF the practical operation OF the laws
relating to the sale Of lntox!cants in the
4 States ,ot Missouri. Iowa, Indiana and
u Ohio. It Is not necessary to say DR..
ssWinas Is an advocate Of temperance, that
\ he Is In favor OF any and all reasonable
measures that would reduce the liquor
4, evil to the minimum. But DR.. Wines Is
practical man. and his experience
Fl teaches him that SO long as whiskey Is
u hsre men are going to drink It, and SO
5long az they are going TO drink It there
will DO somebody to supply the demand.
and so the question is OF regulating
traffic rather than OF prohibiting It.
29ls IN his investigation no found that In
iowa tho experiment OF prohibition has
probably had tho fullest and fairest
trial that It has been able to secure any
where, 1t had the support OF the party
In power, which passed every act sug-
4 gested by the strong temperance senti-
nent OF the people. and made an earn
j est, faithful effort to enforce tho most
i stringent sumptuary legislation, Tho re-
suit was complete breakdown. The
\ saloons were closed out. the business
was transferred TO the drug stores
II Liquor was brought into the State and
sold in original packages. Much LIQUOR,

l5titiously. and Tho most ingenious devices
1tgere resorted to In order to conceal the
fact. It became necessary to employ de-

AN EXTRAYAOANT AGE.

vi Great complaint Is now made concern
Ing the high cost Of living, and there is
some ground for It. It docs cost more
to live. It does cost more for some OF the
necessities Of life, but the increased cost
OF living is due in the main to OUT taste
for luxury, to our extravaganza i mere
never was such luxurious ago3 there
never was such an extravagant ago. Some
mon have made O. great deal OF money
during the past few years. and they are
setting the pace in expenditures. Others
who have not mado so much are trying
either to keep up with thom or to initiate
them and are spending more money than.
their Incomes warrant, Many mon are
harder up with an income Of two thou
sand dollars year. than they were with
mn income Of one thousand dollars O
year, the reason being that their ex-
penditures grow in greater proportion
than tho increase in income, It Is almost
Invariably tho case.
Here is one OF tho dangers OF pros
perity We have been living at q rapid
pace: we have been going In q wlrle; we
have been spending money like water.
and tho trouble Is that In doing SO. we
have been falling Into luxurious habits
und cutlvatlng expensive tastes,
This prosperity must come to IN end
by and by and many men Will have to
como down to hard pan. Those who have
been sensible enough to sec It and Ito
Invest their earnings In good property
will be ready for tho hard times, but
those who have wasted their substance,
in riotous LIVING. who have formed a
taste for luxures, will be worse OFT than
they were before, md those who have
gone into debt viii be III q bad state sure
enough,
we have several times sounded the
note OF warning, and we sound 1t again,
In prosperous times like this It Is fool
sh for men TO spend all that they make,
and to spend moro than ono makes and
go into debt Is reckless This Is the
harvest time and every man who makes
living salary should put aside part
OF his earnings for the Inevitable rainy
day.
