DRYING UP SWEDEN.
More Than $4,000 Distilleries Closed in
the Last Half Century.

Instead of going dry in any of the
various ways now being tried in this
country Sweden has invented method
of liquor traffic control which can show
some extraordinary results.
The novel features of the law enacted
in that country so long ago as 1900 con-
sisted in the provision that local com
panies or committees might be formed
in various communities to conduct the
liquor traffic in such Il way as to ellnln-
ate all private profit, any gam that
might result from the traffic being direct
ly applied to the promotion OF pubic
utilities calculated to serve as counter
attractions to the saloon.
At that time there were more than
$4,000 dstileries in Sweden. and it was
said that liquor could be purchased III
almost every hut in the kingdom. When
the new law had been in force six years,
according to McClure's Magazine, the
number of distilerieS dropped to less
than GOO. In 1896 il was 132.
Meanwhile the saloons Shrank away 50
rapidly that in 1869 there was but one
for SUES of the population. and eleven
years later only one for 1880 inhab-
tants-hgures that gain clear significance
if we reflect by way of contrast that
Jersey City, for example has a saloon
for every thrty-ive voters.
The per capita consumption of Spritu-
Gus liquors decreased in Sweden from %
liters III 1851 to II liters in 1896. In
stead of 5 quarts the equivalent Of
- litersl per capita the consumption in
this country is over II gallons for every
man, woman and child. This is the
average given by the census reports for
the year 1900, when the total consump-
ton of liquors in this country was 1,322,-
100000 gallons.
The system which has accomplished 50
much in Sweden was first put into OPP
Grafton in its developed form in the city
of Gothenburg, and hence came to be
generally known as the Gothenhurg sys-
TEN. 1t was adopted in due course by
all the chief cities and by many of the
smaller cities in Sweden and it met II
similarly favorable reception in Norway
and in Finland.
For a long time it spread no further.
Yet it furnished an object lesson that
could not be indefinitely ignored.
Thoughtful Germans came in time to
ask themselves why it was that the
kingdom of Sweden, with 100000 in
habitants. has fewer places for the sale
of spirituous liquors than are TO be found
in the single city of Konigshurg, with
10000 inhabitants, or in Bremen with
its 10000.
Thoughtful Englishmen asked why
they must needs have drink shop for
every 243 Inhabitants while one for 81
600 sufficed in Sweden. They proceeded
to develop a form of the Gothenburg
system which, in the hands of prominent
Englishman, has accomplished Il great
deal. even without the aid of special leg

4 certain bishop was famous as being
the plainest man of England.
One day, as this homely parson sat
in an omnibus, he was amazed by the
persistent staring Of fellow passenger,
who finally said:

comm 'ome with me to see my wife,
Imagining the wife was sick and need
ed assistance, the clergyman, at great
inconvenience to himself, went. On ar
irving at the house. the man pointed to
the astonshed parson, and said with
