Prohibition Paragraphs, or, Selected
"Anti-Liuuor Nusgets."

A gentleman and consistent prohi
bitionist lately said to me: "Our con
tention is against the legalized whis'
key traffic, whether under high Ii.
cense, low license, or the dispensary
Our present fight Is against the dis
pensary In our State, since that is the
shape of the enemy before US right
now" Good and true. And dispen.
sary liquor makes one drunk and
breeds corruption, shame, and crime
Just as etfectually as bar-roOm whiskey
does. The dispensary was launched
and has been strongly supported by
the dream that an evil could be pol
ished, regulated, and made respecta-
BILE, decent, and harmless. DR.. George
Cromer's words come in we'll here.
He said : "Any restrictive sober that
tends to make an immoral traffic rep
utable and popular is vicious and
dangerous scheme.
Is it a kind, dutiful mother that en-.
courages and protects her children In
things hurtful and degrading to them
selves and others-things that will
bring to them shame, poverty, crime,
peril, unhappiness, imbecility of mind,
weakness of body, insanity, suffering,
and disgrace Now, every citizen,
young and old, male and female, In
South Carolina, is, in an important
sense, q child of the State. We own
and are expected to render fidelity to
the State-our mother. Let not that
mother entail and hold down upon us
80 great an evil as this one in question.
Does our mother (the State) love US,
her children? If 30, and If she has
self-appreciation and self-respect, she
M ust say "I deserve no credit, no re-
ward, but only shame and humiliation,
for corrupting my own children
through my endorsement and protec.
tion Of any pernicious business of any
sort"
Not long ago I was talking with
citizen in q county that has dispensa.
ries. He Is a man of many good quail.
tiles, q church member, but q weak
one. Strong drink has caused him to
fall, again and again. He seems to
have inherited the love Of it, and If he
smells 1t, the passion for it seems ire
sistible. He said: II want the dis
pensary closed. I'll vote for prohibi-
tion. It will take a generation to get
this thing right. Our children should
be brought up with right views as to
the evil" This man longs to live
right. He is the slave of an appetite
and needs help and sympathy from his
fellow citizens. And as a brother he
appeals to Christian voters to take
away the stumbling-block. Hundreds
are like him and all are crying to us
for an uplift. o Brother! voting

In this country alone two billion

JAS. H. STEVENSON
 IS CIRCUIT JUDGE
Supreme Court Holds That Appoint. ment Made by Acting Governor Mar tin Superseded That Of Judge BlackwoOd. Made by the Bar.

Little Rock. Ark. Jan 25.-~ThUt James II. Stevenson, appointed by Acting Governor Martin to fill the vacancy on the bench of the second division of the Pulaski circuit court caused by the death Of Judge Edward W. Winfield, is legally entitled to hold been named at special election to be called by the governor was the opin- ion of the supreme court handed down by Chief Justice Hill this morning. Justices McCulloch and Hart dissented, but have handed down no written opinion.
 The petition for quo warranto brought by the attorney general Oh relation of Judge John w. Black wood, who was elected special judge by members of the bar of Pulaski county, was therefore dismissed by the court.
 When Judge Winfield announced to
 
 that he was too ill to hold court the barristers ill pursuance of q consti- tutional provision elected John W. BlackWood to fill the vacancy. Judge Winfield died January 13 and the members of the bar reelected Judge Blackwood. Acting Governor Martin, however, appointed James H. Stew enson While Judge Blackwood act ed by agreement with Stevenson so that there was no actual conflict of authority the attorney general brought proceedings on relation of the former to oust Stevenson.
 The mooted point was whether the constitution is silent as to filling the office of circuit judge, SO that the act of 1897 may be valid as to the office of circuit judge as well as to the other offices mentioned in Art icle VII of the constitution.
 Justice Hill decided that the con stitution is silent on the subject and that the act of 1877 applies.
 In his written opinion he said:
 '.All the duties of q circuit judge are not performed while holding court, while the power of special judge is limited to holding court, The powers of a judge in vacation or at chambers cannot, from their na- ture, attach to a special judge solely authorized to preside over q session of court.
 Tt therefore follows that q va cancy in the office of circuit judge is not filled ny the election of spe- cial judge to preside over session of court
 The opinion also said:
 The fact of the constitution hav- ing merely provided to keep the cir cult court going by special judges cannot be construed to be a consti- tutional declaration that the office should not be filled temporarily; and, unless expressly forbidden, the leg islature can provide for filling this office temporarily as we'll as other offices. This being true, it necessarily follows that there is vacancy in the office of circuit judge and the act of 1877 applies, and the governor has the power to make the temporary appointment of a circuit judge to hold the office until the same could be filled by special election, which it is made the duty of the governor to call under Section 2691, Sandel's and Hills Digest.
 'It follows from these views that the petition for quo warranto should

is Acknowledgement Of Federal power. the
inveterate reaching for means to centralize
all the functions of government at Wash
ington-a tendency which has already
passed the limits Of safety. No man did
more to promote this condition than Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and it should not be over
looked that Mr.. Taft time and again dur
ing his campaign, repeated his purpose to
carry out the Roosevelt Policies" How
ever different their methods of procedure
may be, the end in view is the same. and
the quiet persistency of the present occu-
pant of the White House may be more
ing of his predecessor Step by step the
Federal government has encrOached upon
those subjects of taxation which heretofore
were left to the States, and If the prevail
ing advance in extravaganza continues
the States will ere long be deprived Of all
except land and visible personal property
as the sources of revenue.
Worst of all-and here the moral princi-
pie enters the discussion-the proposition
looks very much like clever device based
upon prevailing prejudice, to evade the
solemn campaign promise to revise the
tariff Eliminating the run-mad protec-
tionists, the intelligent expert opinion OF

tain 10 it. that the regisi, . proniaed az ?
revision downward and that honest re-
vision downwsra would have afforded no
occasion for seeking new sources Of reve-
nue. and no justification for cunning devices
to deceive the people. This scheme is a
distinct aid to those men in Congress who
| are fighting to maintain or to increase the
Dingley rates, and as it emanates from the
President himself, it seems to indicate that
he is not above being party to the de-
| ceptiOn.
Incidentally, it proves false the Repub
lican contention that protective tariff
would produce sufficient revenue to support
the government. and it proves true the
Democratic contention that the present
rates are laid, primarily not Tor the sup
port of the government but for the pro
motion of favored interests And while
fthe cost of living is thus unjustly increased
a new tax is levied which, in one form O
another, the already overwhelmed people
of the land must pay.
