Judge s. E. Stephenson Of Coving-
ton, Tenn, who is visiting the family
of his brother, the late w. ]. Stephen
son, will return to his home next Tues
day. During his stay in this section
he has taken very considerable interest
in the political fight that is being
waged on the whisky question. He has
been through very much the same
thing out in Tennessee. When he first
went to that state as boy, whisky was
legally sold in every crossroads grocery
store; but the tendency everywhere has
been toward prohibition and now there
Is no legal liquor traffic except In the
towns of more than five thousand in
halitants. His own town Of Covington
has gone for prohibition within the
past few years, and conditions have
very much improved. "Of course, there
Is still some illegal liquor selling"
Judge Stephenson says, but no more
than there was under the license re-
gime. The bar-keepers sold as much
whisky in violation Of the law to mi
nors and on Sundays as is being sold
In violation Of the law now" AS be-
tween the maintenance Of the state dis
pensary, and the establishment Of local
option as between county dispensaries
and prohibition, Judge Stephenson said
that IL he lived in this state. he would
certainly be In favor Of the abolition
of the state machine.
