Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1905-10-18

If Senator Tillman believes that
the sale of liquor under prohibition
will necessarily debauch the very
best men in community-although
they touch it only in a professional
way-how can he consistently be-
lieve that men of sufficient moral
strength to remain uncontaminated
by its corrupting influence when it
touches them in thousand ways un-
known to the doctor and the drug
gist, can be induced to handle it
under the dispensary for the mere
money there is in it? If such men
cannot be induced to handle it under
the dispensary what becomes of his
charge that the failure of the dispen-
sary law is due to the corrupt men
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1905-10-18

ties of intelligent actions and hence
of the actions of men. A Legislative
enactment is to be judged, therefore,
not by it's inherent moral qualities,
for it can have no such qualities, but
by the moral character of the acts
which it legalizes and those which it
makes possible in its execution. The
real question then is, not is the dis
pensary in itself corrupt institu-
ton, but does it legalize immoral
acts and does the execution of it in
volvc occasion for the practice of
corruption?
First. The dispensary legalizes the
sale of intoxicaut liquors as bever-
age. Is the sale of intoxicant liquors
as beverage an immoral act" This
is the real question. And to it the
common sense of mankind, the creeds
of Christendom, and the determine
tions of scientific investigation all
answer an emphatic and unequivocal
"yes." Science has put beyond all
question that the use of intoxicating
liquors as a beverage works only evil
to the human system-physically,
mentally, morally and spiritually.
All ethical creeds condemn as i'm
moral the selling to men of that
which can do them only harm and
the common sense of the race ap-
proves the verdict. But the dispen-
sary legalizes this sale of intoxicants
as beverage. 1t, therefore, legal
ICES an immoral act and hence stands
condemned before the bar of science,
ethics and good sense. This argu-
ment would evidently apply equally
to any other legalized form of the
sale of intoxicants as beverage. If
such sale is, per Sc, an immoral act,
and there is no rational escape from
this conclusion, then all legaized
forms of such sale must be con-
demned. For how can a moral man
advocate legalizing an immoral act
Hence prohibition is the only logical
and ethical method of handling the
liquor question as it is the only logi-
cal and ethical method of handling
the question of theft or murder, or
any other question involving an act
per sc immoral and hurtful to society.
No such act can be safely legalized.
The sale of liquor and certain forms
of gambling in high life are abou
the only acts of this character that
we attempt to legalize in this coun-
try, and the sooner we come to our
senses with regard to these the bet
ter for all concerned.

cannot (or will no) serve@ So

cannot (or 1 will noO server" So
in any community. The dispensary
opposition might safely defy Senator
Tillman to select four men from the
best 100 citizens of Rock Hill, or
any other town of equal size, who
W uld serve as board of control and
dispenser. Nay, many believe that
it could not be done from the best
500 hundred citizens. And Senator
Iillman knows that if he were Gov.
ernor, with unlimited authority, he
would not ask the best men i'm sim
gle community in this State to act
in these capacities. He knows that
to do SO would be simply to waste
his time and insult them. But the
Senator might reply that he does not
mean that the every best" men
should be appointed to these places,
but merely that "good, honest men"
should fill them. The question
would then be, can "good, honest
man" be induced to do consciously
what he knows to he wrong? But,
further, does not Senator Tillman
know that with rare exceptions Gf
any any man weak enough to lend
himself to liquor vending is also
weak enough to be contaminated by
its inherent viciousness and to gradu-
ally yield to all the vices which its
legal sale makes possible2 Did not
his own argument at Tirzah against
prohibition make this clear and put
beyond all question that Senator
T!!!man does not really believe, if he
could only realize it, that the dispen-
sary can be officered by good, honest
men who will remain so? What
was that argument? Simply this:
That prohibition will inevitably de.
bauch your doctors and druggists
among the very best men of every
community-as he claimed it had
done those of Yorkville in days gone
by. That they will prescribe liquor
for those who do not need it and,
therefore, become liars, deceivers
and perjurers. If this argument be
valid, if the minimized sale of liouor
will thus corrupt the very best men
and that almost without temptation
(for surely the doctor is entitled to
his bill whether he prescribes the
medicine the patient wants or not)
can any sane man expect the but
slightly restricted legalized sale with
its many avenues to vice and it's
strong temptations to corruption to
fail to debauch the less strong men
who manage it?

rILLmAws ARGUMENTS Asalyzeo.
"a Good Tillmanite" Urges the Voters to
Reject the Dispensary.
f'The State. I


Before taking up the issues the
writer wishes TO state clearly that
nothing said below is intended as an
attack on Senator Tillman or as a
reflection on his character or motives.
The writer yields to no man in APP
probation of the good work Senator
'Tillman has done in this State. But
he believes that the Senator has not
reflected sufficiently on his recent
arguments in support of the dispen.
sary to see their fallacies and that
many, influenced by these arguments,
may vote for the dispensary unless
special attention be called to their
shortcomings. A sufficient number
might do SO to fasten the dispensary
in York county on the writer's bows
and on other peoples boys in this
and other counties when election is
held. 1t is, therefore, primarily in
The interest of his own children, as
well as in the interest of the youth
of the State generally, and in the
public good that this article is writ
ten, and not in any sense as ref1ec-
tlon on or criticism of Senator Till
man. 1t is only about the argu.
ments that the writer il concerned
not who made them. The Senator's
name is used only because, as far as
the writer knows, he is the only man
certainly the only man of intiu-
.ence-who has made them.
The fundamental contention of
Senator Tillman in defending the
'dispensary is that the institution per
'se is all right-not essentially vicious
and that it is the pest solution of
the liquor problem. His excuse for
its past history and present plight is
that it has fallen into bad hands and
therefore corruption has crept in.
"'Put it into the hands of good, hon
est men," says he, "and run it as
originally designed and there is no
valid objection to it. 1t is the happy
settlement of the vexatious liquor
question" Has the Senator weighed
well his words?
All will admit that the dlspensary
as an abstract system is no: immoral.
No abstract system carries with it
per sc any moral quality. Moral
qualities are qualities of actions
not of distractions. They are quail
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1905-10-18

who are executing it, and that it can
be redo emed by change of officersp ?
Is it not clearly rotten through and
through? The Senator evidently
has not thought this out very care
fully. When he does 80 he must see
that he cannot rest the failure of the
dispensary on incidental corruption
but that this corruption is an newt
able concomitant of its execution.
The dispensary must be judged by
what it legalizes and by what it per-
mits to be done by its officers under
its provisions. Il legalizes immoral
ity and must, therefore, be con-
demned. 1t permits all sorts of cor
ruption and presents manifold temp

Second. Does the dispeneary per-
NIT in it's execution the doing of i'm
moral acts other than the mere sale
OF liquor as beverageP Recent
exposures and admissions, as well as
long ago suspicious and accusations
not quite "proved," answer this
question. "But," replies Senator
Tillman, "this is because bad men
have been put in charge of it. Put
the rascals out and put in good men
and the system will work admira-
bly," Now, candidly, is there any
evidence that these men, when they
took charge of the dispensary, were,
as rule, any worse than most other
men who could be induced to take
charge of such business? Isn't it
strange that the appointing officials
struck bad men almost everywhere
at the same time? And also strange
that the recent Legislature should be
80 much worse than all previous
Legislatures? Now, really, does not
, Senator Tillman and every other in
telligent man know that the best
men in any community cannot be
put in charge of liquor selling, no
matter in what form? They know
that the very act of selling liquor as
a beverage is immoral, and it is a
clear-cut contradiction to assume
that moral man will Intentionally
engage to do an immoral act. Is the
Senator, therefore, playing fair with
his unretlecting friends who accept
his contentious without question
when he argues that the dispensary
will prove the best solution of the
liquor problem if put in the hands
of good men, knowing as he must
that the very condition which he
demands for its successful operation
is an impossible one-that good men
will simply not engage in the liquor
selling business or voluntarily con-
meet themselves with it? The ap-
pointive authorities understand this.
They will not ask the best men of
any community to act on boards of
control or as dispensers. They dare
not. And even if they dared to do
it they would know it useless. To
be concrete, suppose Rock Hill should
decide to have dispensary, and to-
days mail should bring commissions
If appointment to w. l.. Lingle, j.
L. Lee and JAS. p. Kinard as board
of control, and to Capt. w. L. Rod
dey as dispenser. Does not every
man in Rock Hill know that return

The Saint Paul globe., 1905-01-17

When Hennepin county Republican
senators and house members met yes
terday and decided to vote for Senator
Moses e. Clapp, the Republican eau
Gus senatorial nominee, they settled
Senator Clapp's reelection by the Min
nesota legislature.
Both houses Of the legislature will
meet at noon today and ballot separ-
ately on candidates for United States
senator. Moses E. Clapp will be the
Republican nominee of each house, and
Robert A. Smith will receive the COM
plimentary vote Of the Democratic
members of the legislature.
a joint convention of the two houses
will meet tomorrow at noon, at which
Speaker Frank Clague will preside, and
the vote will be announced Since the
vote will be Overwhelmingly for Sena-
tor Clapp, no vote will be taken by the
joint convention, and the speaker will
simply announce the result of the bal
lot of today and the reelection of the
Junior senator.
End of the Fight
When, on Jan. 8, 128 Republican
members of the legislature met in eau
Gus and agreed on Senator Clapp's
nomination to succeed himself, the sem
atorlal succession was settled so hard
and fast that the st. Paul man shut up
his headquarters and returned to
Washington and the session of con-
gress.
Ouly three members of the Henne-
pin county delegation participated in
the caucus, and but two voted for
Clapp. 1t had been generally under
stood that j. B. Gilfillan, the Mime
apolis candidate in opposition to Mr.
Clapp, would then release his delega-
ton from his support but he had fail
ed to say the word.
Yesterday forenoon the delegation
met at his office in Minneapolis to con-
slider the situation, and the result was
decision to vote for the Republican
caucus nominee in the senate and
house today. Mr.. Gilfillan was in a
room adjoining that in which the con-
ference was held, but his personal rep
resentatives on the delegation asked
that he be given the complimentary
vote of his delegation in the legislature
today. There was a long discussion,
and finally the members declined to
coneede the request, in view of the
fact that Senator Clapp was the choice
of large majority of the Republican
members and majority of the entire
membership of the legislature.
All Are for cIapp
1t is said, therefore, that Senator
Clapp will receive the votes of the en-
-tire Republican membership of both
bodies today, and he will be given the
votes of two and possibly three Demo-
Gratis who had made prediction prom
ises to vote for Senator Clapp if elect
ed to the legislature.
The nominations in both houses will
be formal affairs. In the senate SEN
ater A. r. McGill, postmaster of st.
Paul, will place Mr.. Cfapp in nomina-
tion, and Senator Albert Schaller will
perform a similar service for Mayor
Robert A. Smith. In the house the
nominations will be made by Gen. M.
ID. Flower and Dr. ]. H. Dorsey, re-
spectiyely. Seconding speeches will be
made by half dozen different men in
the two houses for Senator Clapp, and
Ramsey county will be privileged to
make the seconding addresses in both
houses for Mayor Smith.

HUGO AFT TER BANKS
Wants State to inspect Private
Institutions

Representative N. F. Hugo, of st.
Louis county, is having bill drafted
for Introduction in the house to pro-
vide that private banks shall be sub
mitted to the jurisdiction of the state
bank examining department.
The bill, which will be introduced
late in the week, is said to be the re-
suit of agitation at Duluth following
the failure about a year ago of the
Commercial bank, a private banking
corporation, and the loss of 100000 to
depositors, many of them poor peo-i
pie. The bill will provide that any
person, firm or corporation using the
term bank shall submit to state in
spection and report to the state bank
examiner.
Strong opposition is expected to be
encountered to the passage Of the bill
by the private banking interests of the
state, and questions of it's constitu-
tionality may be raised. One OF the
chief objections which private bankers
have to such a law is that its opera
ton will naturally tend to raise their
assessments for taxes because of the
publicity given to their financial at
fairs.

LEGISLATORS TO DIG
INTO FREIGHT RATES
Resolution Authorizing Special
Committee to Be Pre-
sented Today

A resolution will be offered in the
house today authorizing an increase by
two members of the house committee
to act with a senate committee to in
yesugate alleged discrimination by
minnesota railroads in freight and pas
senger rates.
=. q. Lennon, of Hennepin county,
Will father resolution authorizing
Speaker Clague to appoint two addi-
tlonal members of the house committee,
which originally included four mem
bers. The resolution will call for the
appointment of one member from st.
Paul and one from Minneapolis, and
VIII specify that the members appoint
ed Shall be members Of the house COM
mlttee on railroads. -
1t is said that an amendment will be
ofered to the resolution, if introduced
IN tnls fOrm to permit the speaker to
exercise his discretion in selecting the
addllonal members of the committee
from the membership Of the house.
The house committee, as originally
appointed under the Eberhart resolu-
ton, consisted of P. M. Gandrud, Sun
purg; X. I. Lewis, Duluth; w. A. Mo-
Ian, Gread Meadow. and J. III. Dorsey,
Glencoe. Neither of the Twin Cities
was given representation on the CONF
| mlttee, and it is to permit the appoint
ment of men more or less familiar with
| rate questions that the Lennon resolu-
ton will be introduced.
The senate members of the commit :
tee are A. o. Eberhart. Mankato, father
! OF the resolution; H. w. Stone, Morris,
and p. B. Hawkins, Duluth. The
Twin Cities are not represented on the
senate committee.
1t is probable that the senate COM
mittee will also be enlarged should
the Lennon resolution be adopted in
the house.
The first meeting of the joint special
committee to Investigate railroad rates
in Minnesota will be held at the state
! capitol at o'clock this afternoon. 1t
! is expected that Senator Eberhart will
be selected as chairman of the commit
| tee, and plan will be formulated for
prosecuting its investigation. Under
the terms of the resolution, the COM
mittee is to be given a clerk now in
the employ of the house, and is en-
| powered to summon witnesses and to
administer oaths.
Railroad officials declare their will
| fngness to give the committee all neces-
sary information in formulating their
report, but say that-it will be impossi-
BILE for the committee, no matter how
diligent, to gain an accurate know1-
edge of the railroad conditions of Min
nesota in the necessarily brief time al
loted to legislative inquiry.

SMITH WOULD PUT
MEMBERS ON. SALARY
Minneapolis Representative Revives
Bill Killed Four Years Ago

Sherman S. Smith, the Minneapolis
house member, will Introduce in the
house today a bill putting members of
the legislature on a salary basis The
effect of the bill will be to fix the an
nual compensation of the lawmakers
of both bodies at $500 per year, with
mileage added.
The proposed law provides that the
annual salary of $500 shall be paid in
two equal installments of $3.50 on Feb.
i and March Is of each year No
provision is made to cover compensa-
.tion for extra sessions of the legisla-
sture.
A similar bill was introduced by Mr..
Smith in the house four years ago and
passed the house. 1t went to the SEN
ate on the last day of the session,
where it met it's death. Representa-
tive Smith said yesterday that he was
assured of senatorial support for his
bill at this session. 1t practically
doubles the compensation of members.

tee, and that Sherman S. Smith, also
of Hennepin, viii go on the general

MAN AND WIFE ESCAPE
INJURY IN RUNAWAY
Both Are Thrown From Cutter, sus-
tanning Few Bruises

A runaway accident that might have
resulted seriously occurred yesterday
morning on West Seventh near Palace
street. Mr.. and Mrs. Uraly, living on
South Victoria street, were driving
along Seventh when the horse suddenly
became frightened and taking the bit
in his teeth dashed up the street. Aft
er wild ride of over two blocks the
cutter overturned and the occupants
were thrown heavily to the ground.
Both escaped with few bad bruises.
The horse was cut about the legs and
the cutter demolished.
