We publish elsewhere an extended account
OF the death Of Count Creighton OF Omaha
Neb.. taken from The Omaha Bee. The
eulogy of Father Dowling. s. j., covers
the benevolent career or the good man,
but no mention was made OF his Irish an
cestry and his practical sympathy with the
cause OF Irish Independence. He always
gave literally TO ireland and was proud OF
being the son of an Irish father and
mother The latter were born in Ulster
Tyrone, II we remember aright-and about
ten years ago Count Creighton visited Ire
land and placed monument in the old
family graveyard 10 mark the last resting
place OF most of his ancestors. The beauty
OF ireland attracted him greatly and he
never wearied Of singing its praises. The
old man was the very soul OF hospitality
rs well as benevolence. No representative
Of Ireland ever visited Omaha without par
taking before he left OF Count Creighton's
hospitality one of the most pleasant ban
quets we have ever attended was that
given by him in honor Of william Redmond.

In personal appearance Count Creighton
was about six feet high, weighed rather
over 200 pounds, and was splendidly pro-
portioned. His hair, although bleached,
was abundant, and he wore a mustache
and chin beard OF a soft brilliant white. He
carried himself like an old French mar

Although he lived beyond the allotted

less than a year ago, any of the usual
evidences of physical decrepitude. He was
straight, alert and graceful, with a full,
manly voice and a fine manly stride. We
are deeply sorry that noble a figure,
in every sense has been removed from

THE DlSPENSART Law REPEALED
South Carolina has decided to go out
of the liquor business, thus furnishing
another demonstration of one of the
many wrong ways of dealing with the
traffic. For many years the state had
a local option law, but in 1893 Senator
Tillman, then governor of the state,
devised the dispensary scheme and Sc
cured its adoption by the state legis-
lature. Under that law a state board
was created to purchase all liquor
supplies for the state and resell to
country boards at a profit of 6 per
cent. This yielded a profit of about
$4,000 annually to the state school
fund, while the profits of the sales by
county boards to the retailer amounted
to other thousands which went to the
county funds. Liquor was sold only
between sunrise and sunset and none
was allowed to be drunk on the prem
ises where purchased.
In theory the scheme appealed
strongly, but proved a failure in prac-
tice. Whisky bought by the quart or
half gallon was drunk by the quart
or half gallon. and the number of
bottle drunkards increased at a rapid
rate. Then graft crept in, producing
numerous dispensary scandals. The
people of the state. dissatisfied with
the dispensary system, finally voted for
its abolition and the legislature has
responded by repeating the law. Indi-
cations are that the legislature will
pass law to control the liquor traffic
by high license and local option.
Control of the liquor traffic, in South
Carolina and elsewhere, is either a
direct issue or matter of continual
agitation, a conflict between theoreti-
cal and practical plans for minimizing
a recognized evil without infringing
personal liberty. South Carolina has
been forced to realize that the dis
pensary plan, in effect. resulted in
uncontrolled traffic and that regula-
ton by high license, such as Nebraska
provides in its Slocumb law. produces
best results.

oh, such a fine fiddle had he
That old King Cole, in his hmost soul,
Was as FESTIVE as he could be,
When thus spoke she to his majesty,
He planted his crown on tight.
I'VE will wait" whispered he to the hd-
dlers three
It'll the Queen has retired for the night"
Every fiddler then tuned up his fiddle,
And tuned II as true as could be;
While old King Cole got his pipe and bowl
And replenished them secretly.
SO gay they grew as the night hours few,
He forgot how the time sped away;
Till swift overhead he heard the Queens
tread
AS she ,sprang out of bed. when he hnr-
riedly said
They might finish the tune the next day.
Every fiddler he had a fine fiddle,
And very fine fiddle had he;
oh, twas not fair such a concert rare
Should be ended so suddenly
