THAT prohibition does not prohibit IS
often proven by solid facts. According
to reports made public in Charlotte, n.
c., in the yesr 1907 the drug stores OF
that city filled 80, CAS- whisky prescrip-
tious. There called for 81, oil quarts
aud 90 dozen bottles of beer. This, in
brief, is the amount OF the whisky bust
ness done In Charlotte in q single year
by the doctors who wrote Scripts" anG
the drug stores that filled them. There
are fourteen drug stores in Charlotte
that pay an annual liquor license of 800
zach. or a total of 81 400. Averaging
the cost o: whisky at $l.25 q quart or
S. a gallon, the grand total is $43, 76O
that the drug stores received for whisky
alone in the year. For writing 80. 645
prescriptions the physicians received an
average price of so cents for each pre-
scription, which brought them in the
neighborhood of 5000 for their
trouble. Prohibition has been in effect
in Charlotte for about three years. The
population of Charlotte lie about S5, 00O

THERE seems to be no question that
the wine-drinking nations as compared
with the whisky-drinking, nations are far
more temperate. Thomss Jefferson de-
clsred as q result of his observation that
emo nation is drunken where wine is
cheap, and none sober where the drinker
of wine substitutes ardent spirits as the
Common beverage. For this reason he
advocated low rate of duty on wines
"a. an sntidote to the bane of whisky" "

which to draw misleading conclu-
sions. In this way the truth has been
suppressed or perverted, the record
tortured and twisted and Judgment
asked upon half-truth, deliberate
misrepresentation and cunningly
prepared special pleadings, the pur-
pose of all this being to make it ap-
pear that Senator Little has been the
champion of corporations.
There is no doubt that Senator
Little has answered the charges
against him so completely as to con-
yict his accusers of willful misrepre-
sensations. This should not only
gain him sympathy but should re-
veal the desperate campaign
methods of the insurgents.
