To BE Made to Prohibit.
Savannah News. }

On Tuesday Senator Clay intro
duced bills into the senate TO make
II unlawful to ship intoxicating liq-
uOrS into prohibition states. Bills
OF like character have been intro
duced into the House. OF course
this isn't tn first time that bills 10
make prohibition prohibit have been
introduced into Congress and ii is
by no means certain that one will
become a law. In the first place
there seems to be some doubt as to
whether or not they are cOnStitu-
tional, and in the second place the
liquor interests are aroused, and will
put forth every possible effort to de-
feat them. The prohibition senti-
ment is getting too strong to please
distillers, brewers and liquor dealers.
They are beginning to be alarmed
by the progress that prohibition is
making.
As long as prohibition was con
fined to counties and towns. liquor
and beer men didn't trouble them
selves much about it, because the
liquor went into the prohibition
counties to about as great an extent
as it did before they became dry.
but now when it is proposed to pre-
vent the shipment Of beer and whis-
key into those counties they begin
to feel that it is time to make a
fight.
And the prohibitionists are ready
for the contest. They have gained
so much ground within the last year
or two, and the prohibition sentiment
is spreading so rapidly. that they
know that Congressman will listen
to them that they viii have to list
en- TO them if they want TO retain
their places in Congress. Hence the
contest will not be a one sided one by
any means Heretofore Congress
men have felt that they could afford
to ignore the prOhibiti0nistS for The
reason that they cut but little figure
in elections The liquor men had by
far the greater influence in politics.
Now the situation has greatly chang
ed. In great many states the pro
hibitiOnjSts exercise tremendous
influence in politics and the man who
wants to get into or remain in pub
lie life must take them into account.
The chance for the passage of
bill preventing the shipment Of intox-
icants into prohibition counties Is
pretty good, even though there IS
ground for doubling the constitution
atty OF such measure. The courts
have to settle a good many questions
growing out Of legislation and Con-
gress may let them settle this Ques-
ton.

at once resumed his place al the head
of his company, and here is an account
telegraphed from New York, of his
reception at the performance that even
ing;
The play proceeded regularly until
Hitchcock made his appearance. He
enters at the head of chorus. The
first sign of him was the signal. for an
other greater outburst of cheering,
shouting and handclapping. He could
say or do nothing while for nine min
utes the noise continued. Then he went
on as best he could, every time he
spoke being greeted by great applause
and every effort being made apparently
by those present to show that they
We're with him.
Possibly all that was nothing in
real sentimental feeling TO the moment
when Hitchcock and his wife were seen
together on the stage. The manner of
approval by the audience of this can
not be well described. Every possible
method of making noise within the
reach of a theatre audience was used.
Stamping, whistling. shouting. and
handclapping kept up for a long, long
time. Then the audience permitted the
play to go on, breaking in. however,
to applaud violently whenever it seemed
a good time to do it for the benefit of
Hitchcock or his wife"
If Hitchcock had unaided won a bat
tie on which the welfare of the nation
depended. if he had single-handed ami
Inflated an enemy's army or fleet he
could hardly have been received more
cordially. The spectacle that New York
audience made of itself was more than
unpleasant, it was disgusting; it was
utterly unworthy of Americans. How
win those people feel, if they possess
any capacity at all for decent feelings,
if Hitchcock is convicted and sent to
prison for a long term of years?
1t is true that he has not as yet been
convicted, but the grand jury. at least,
is of the opinion that he is guilty. The
Herald has no desire to condemn him in
advance of his trial. He may be the
victim of a conspiracy. as he claims,
but guilty or innocent, he should have
the decency to sit tight until he is
either convicted or acquitted. And the
New Workers should have had the de-
cency to show their disapproval of his
indeceEcy by remaining away from the
theatre, or at least by refusing to make
a hero out of him.

The disease is one of the rarest in

MO CHANCE TO SUCCEED.

Under the laws Of the state of New
Jersey a corporation has as the
reason for its existence the altogether
laudable purpose of encouraging an in
crease in the population of the coun-
try and to make homes happy. The or
ganization proposes TO pay $500 in real
money, or if no money is to be had, in
clearing house certificates, for every
baby born to those who join it. Join
ers, all of whom will be married people,
of course, must pay s. per couple. An
nuai dues of % per couple will be ex
acted.
Now let us see what chance that as
ISOLATION has for a long and prosper
Gus existence. The census statistics
show that there are in the United
States $4,000. 600 married couples. The
society wants to get all OF them into
Its membership. Let US suppose it gets
half, or 5000 900 of them. That would
lit the treasury out at once with the
tidy sum of $50, 900 900. The first years
dues would bring in S12,0OO,OO0 more,
a total of S42, 100000. But suppose one
couple in five presented the nation with
q child. This is surely a modest esti-
mate.
The result would be an OutgO Of a
reasonably large sum of money, $780,
900 600. Where would the society get
the money? The prospectus says that,
in addition to the dues and the initia-
ton fees there will be assessments OF
81 a month the first year, $3.50 a month
the second year and 50 a month the
third year. Still the concern would go
into bankruptcy before the termination
of its first year of life. 1t would find
its way there if every one Of the S.OO0,
600 couples paid an assessment Of So a
month, for that would net only $685.
900. 900. making the grand total, at the
most liberal figure. $780, 100000.
This is a modest $3.50, 600, 600 short of
the amount that would i'm all prob
ability be needed. Indeed. the chances
are that very much more would be re-
quired TO pay off all the claims. No
allowance has been made here, as will
be noted. for the cost of maintaining
the society. Even if the heads Of the
organization drew no salaries the ex-
penses of clerk hire, postage. vertical
ton of births and other charges would
be tremendous. And there would be no
income except from initiation fees, dues
and assessments.
The scheme seems altogether imprac-
teal and visionary. It would be good
thing to encourage a natural growth of
population; and it would be a great re-
lief to prospective heads of families to
know that when expenses are about to
fall upon them they will have funds
with which to pay the bills. But some
other plan than a mutual benefit birth
insurance corporation will have to be
devised. The scheme outlined can be
of benefit only to its promoters.
