'n rohibition" Fifty Years

Ago ana Today
This is not the first wave of pro-
hibition that has swept over the
country. Fifty-four years ago
there was one that swept over the
Northern States with as great vio-
lence as the one that is now pass
ing over the South. Then Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York,
Delaware, Michigan, Indiana, and
Iowa, by acts of their legislatures,
forbade the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquors as a bever-
age. Nine Northern States went
dry" in single year, the year
1856.
The liquor men, dazed and fright
ened at the revolution, set them
selves desperately to resist it. By
one pretense or another there was
widespread notification Of prohibi-
ton. One State after another re-
coded from its radical action, I'M
til nearly all adopted the system of
license. So that, up to year ago,
of the eighteen States that had
tried the experiment of prohibition
only three-Maine, Kansas and
North Dakota remained in the
ranks, they having adopted consti-
tutional prohibition.
Will the present prohib. ton
legislation be ephemeral like that
of half a century ago or will it be
permanent? There is every reason
to believe that it will be permanent.
There were more elements of perma-
nency in the earlier movements
than appeared on the surface; for
during all the years that the
States were falling out of the prohi-
bition column the people were
steadily removing the saloon by
local option, till at the time
there were but three prohibition
States left the liquor traffic had
been abolished from two-thirds of
the territory occupied by one-half
of the population of the United
States. Of the 100000 people
who have expelled the saloon only
10, 100000, have done so by State
prohibition laws, and $4,000, 900
have effected the removal by local
option. From 'The Nations Anti
Drink Crusade, - by Ferdinand
Cowle Iglehart, in the. American
Review of Reviews for April.

The standard set by the Post Office

of that sort is included in the SEN

tempt is made to deliver them.
Any card at all suggestive is stop
ped. 1t is a waste of money to
buy postage for them. In the more
fragrant cases an effort is made to
detect and punish the person doing
the mailing; in the others, confsca-

The Best Farm Paper for Our Section.

Editor Scherer of theS tarksville
Mississippi, Southern Farm Gazette
asks us to correct the published
rumor that he is to move toRaleigh.
He will remain in Starksville, will
maintain the regular Gazette office,
and will continue his work by
which The Gazette has become the
leading paper for the farmers of
Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana
and Arkansas; and everybody wish
ing to reach the Gazette may ad-
dress it at Starkville as heretofore.
Rather than spend $4,000 for a
fully equipped printing outfit, how
ever, Mr.. Scherer has arranged for
offices in Raleigh, making an ad-
vantageous contract for printing the
paper there during 1908, and the
first number of the new enlarged
and improved Weekly Gazette, Just
issued, bears out the promise to
make it the best farm paper ever
printed for the Lower South.
We are glad to announce that we
have arranged a clubbing offer,
good for 80 days only, whereby we
are enabled to offer the new Weekly
Gazette, in connection with our
paper, for only $1.4O, the regular
price for both papers being $500.
Subscribe promptly and send all
orders to this office. We could get
other farm papers cheaper, but we
want a paper that will be a real
help and value to our farmers
and The Gazette fills this bill. Send
on your orders.

AGE-LIMiT TOO LOW

Sea Coast Beacon.
Shame on you men of the legis-
lature of Mississippi! You have pla-
ced one blackspot upon your record
that will forever leave a stain on
the work you have done.
The idea Of men of sufficient
intelligence to be elected as law
makers of as great common
wealth as Mississippi to permit the
age of consent to be fixed at twelve
years is beyond the comprehension
of the people. Why it is that you
have wisely legislated for the pro-
lection of minors and children in
all their property rights and are
so reckless and unconcerned about
priceless virtue of your daughters
and sisters? You have placed them
within the easy reach of the viii
liam who seeks to destroy and eter-
nally blast their young lives.
What shame!

The activity of the wholesale
whiskey houses in prohibition ter
ritory to secure business is getting
to be something tremendous. They
recognize that the money to be
made in that nefarious traffic has
got to be made quick, for when our
National Congress at last passes
one of the several bills now pen
ding before it debarring the impor-
tation of wet goods into dry dis
tricts, that their business will be
immensely cut down. Grossman of
New Orleans says in looking over
his records he does not find that
we have ever given him an order.
God helping, we will NEVER either.
The seductive phrase written on
the margin of his letter you
will wear a broad smile when you
try our goods" is woefully STAN
ped with contradiction by the num-
bers in this town and close by
about who are stricken and suffer-
ing from the effects of imbibing
these same baleful potions. Did
the deluded youths who begin to
cultivate the drinking habit, but
know the truth about how many Of
the unfortunates around them,
whose diseases are brought on and
kept alive by rum, they woul d
steer as clear of it as of a poison
Gus reptile But they learn this
side very slow. More often by
sad experience than otherwise.

A number of people are express
ing curiosity to know what kind of
an education the Whiskey League
of New Orleans proposes for be-
nighted Mississippi. We are ac-
Quainted slightly with different
kinds Of education religious, eth

and their allied outgrowths but
our mind fails to comprehend or
apprehend just what a whiskey ed
ucation is and how it is beneficial
to the human race as rounding off
nicely the cher attainments of the

Peekay Mayors, the veteran news
paper man of our state, takes a
crack at the dwelling course pur-
suited by West in the Senate over
the Wood appointment opposition:
Senator West, who had been
opposing Judge Woods confrma-
ton, side stepped the issue by stay
ing away from the committee meet
ing. He stated that he could not
change his position in the matter,
and after he found that nearly ev-
cry body in his district wanted the
appointment confirmed, he decided
to keep out of it. The Senator, it
is said, did not seem to enjoy the
position in which he found himself
placed after the arrival of so many
of his Hattiesburg constituents.
