N the theoretical prohibltionists

Herein Hes the weakness of statutory
prohibition and this Is why II Is us
paily sarce and reproach.
Temperance. like religion. Is a NOR
al. not q political Issue. Men cannot
bs iegis,sted into the church and for
90 60 live pious and Cody lives. This
was tried TO fnish in the dark ages
and failed. Men cannot be forced to
live democratic and moral lives by leg
islaktve enactment. and we sincerely
beissve that the effort to make them
do 90 that Is now being made by the
theoretical prohibitionists will fail
- ignomini,usiy.
We do not believe in the liquor traf-
nc. nor do we believe I'm the prohibi-
tion movement that Is supported by
sincere. hut mistaken. enthusiasts.
and encouraged by calculating and
self seeking politicians. who expect to
ride into ofIsce on the crest OF the pol
itico-prohibition wave. and our in
clinatiou is TO wash our hands of the
whole miserable affair. But we believe
that II Is our duty to pursue the cours-
% that win result In the least evil. and
therefore we are. at present. In favor
Of the maintenance Of the dispensary
and the abolition Of all social clubs
where liauor " sold amid surround
ings that encourage intemperance
and the formation Of habits that
make d~aokards Of otherwise sober
men.
We are not opposed to prohibition.
but to the non-enforcement Of the
law.
South Carolina needs a law similar

by the Alabama Legislature. IL we are

The sbo,itson Of the liquor evli is
one thing. the enactment Of statutory
prohibition is another and a far diff
ferent thing. The one would be an
unmixed blessing. the other Is usually
farce that breeds disrespect for all
law.
Unless the social clubs can be put
out of business prohibition will be
worse than a farce In South Carolina,
asNelsewhere.

TENNY IS DEAD.
Was Next to Salvador. the Fastest
Horse in the World

New York. Nov. 13.-The death of
Tenny, one of the most famous race
horses of the American turf in Ken
lucky at the age of % years, is mat
ter of general comment here among
sporting men. 1t is an odd coin
cidence that Tenny died only a few
months after his greatest rival Sal
vator, and at the same age.
Salvador, the fastest race horse in
the world. beat Tenny by a head in
two races and their contests are
classics of the turf. Songs and poems
have been written about them and
many pictures painted
Tenny was owned in his halcyon
days by David Tenny Pulsifer. Mr..
Pulsifer bought Tenny which was by
Rayon D'Or-Belle of haywood, as a
yearling, for $3.50. He won a big for
tune by backing Tenny when the colt
captured the Brooklyn handicap at a
long price in 1891. While possessing
marvellous speed, Tenny was of a
surly temper. He lost stake to
Salvador by a head merely through
sulking, and he was beaten by both
Salvador and Longstreet in matches
for the same reason. He lost by a
head each time.

GOING TO THE BOTTOM.
MacVeagh Will Continue to Probe
Sugar Trust Frauds.

Washington. Nov. 13.-Secretary o.
the Treasury MacVeagh has come out
with the fiat statement that not only
will he probe to the bottom the scandal
growing out of the frauds committed IN
the New York customs house by the SC
called sugar trust and its agents, but
he proposes to renoVate the entire ser
vice. He declares he will shoulder all
the responsibility for such campaign
and that the investigation will be thor
ough and vigorous.
1t has developed also that the depart
ment of justice is working in conJunc-
torney General Wickersham has been
gathering evidence through corps OF
special agents and the evidence is be-
ing worked up by the legal experts.
Secretary MacVeagh, however, indl-
Gates that he is going further than
merely seeking to discover and punish
those who have been guilty of past
wrong doing. It is understood to be his
purpose to reorganize the force of in
speetors who kept close check on the
general force in past years. These IN
spectors will be recruited with tried
and trusted men, familiar with the
workings of the customs houses and
they will be shifted from place to place
The report sent broadcast that the
sugar trust actually owes the govern
ment $50 000, 900 instead of 81, 135,000 in
unpaid duties and which it paid under
duress the treasury officials declare is
absurd.
E The same officials point out that a
most careful examination of the books
of the New York customs house was
made and that every cent due the gov
eminent was accounted for.

CUT AWAY FROM EUROPE
DIR. Van Eeden So Advises American
Authors and Artists.

Chicago, Nov. 13.-"If the Amer1-
can people could be cut off from the
influence of Europe for three years
the effects on American art and liter
allure would be not only vastly benefi-
c1al but positively astounding
Native genius. inspired by native
motives, would, in that time, lay the
foundations of literature and an art
that would be typical1y American and
Americans would then begin to pro-
duce an art and a literature that
would be recognized as American the
moment they were seen.''

dramatist, novelist and scientist, to
the Cliff Dwellers, with whom he took
luncheon yesterday afternoon at their

SPECULATION WAS LIGHT
Narrow Money Resources Kept Spec

New York. Nov. 13.-Narrow mon
ey resources have kept the specula-
ton under restraint this week. The
substantial recuperation effected by
the Bank of England did not wholly
quiet apprehension in foreign money
markets. Exports of gold from New
York and renewed demands from the
interior depleted the slender banking
surplus and necessitated some calling
of loans.
The coming congressional program
was the occasion of some disquiet
and the demands for increased wages
made by railroad employees suggested
a problem to be met. Coppers showed
strength on reports of large buying
for export and rumors of a coming
combination of the principal produc-
erS.

Chicago, Nov. 13.-After deliberat-

be submitted to the city council in
the near future. the council license
committee yesterday decided that if
any enterprising firm or individual
puts a line of airships in operation
in Chicago it will cost them just ten
dollars per day for each of the aerial
crafts.
Some of the aldermen thought this
might make the fare too high,
"worse than taxicab" as one of
them put it, but Alderman Bowler of
the Nineteenth ward silenced these OBJ
jections by saying:
well, anybody riding in an airship
is flying high anyhow, so 1 guess we
will let it CO."

DAILY SHORT STORY

That afternoon she sought out
Minnie oliver, one of the maids
who had been with the family sew
eral years. Taking the woman to
her own room on pretense of tell
ing her something about the work,
Grace locked the door and swore
the maid to secrecy. This was not
hard, for the entire household
would have been glad to help the
young woman.
During the evening, Grace await
ed until she knew her father was
alone in his room. Then she went
in, and throwing her arms about
his neck, told him she had a secret
to confide. Laughingly, she explain
ed how Minnie, one of the maids,
had said she was going to be mar
ried and had asked permission to
have the ceremony performed in
the kitchen. The maid, Grace told
her father, would continue in their
service after her marriage, and as
she had been a good servant the
young woman deemed it advisable
to grant her request.
Readily agreeing, Jerome Thurs
ton told his daughter to go ahead
with the preparations for the wed
ding. There was little to do, Grace
said, because the wedding was to
take place next afternoon and the
groom had promised to see that
the minister and two witnesses
were present.
Late that afternoon a strange
looking quartet appeared at the
house and was ushered into the
kitchen. Grace lead the way. More

LOVE FINDS A WAY

When father says anything he
means it" declared Grace Thurs
ton emphatically, land l know he
will disown me if ,elope. He said
he would never speak to me again
if l was married outside this
house."
Allen Baldwin was greatly wor-
ried as to who he was going to
induce her to disregard her par
ent's wishes sufficiently to marry
him, and he was equally certain
she would not consent to an elope-
ment, knowing the notoriety and
suffering it would cause.
Depectedly the young man left
the house, confident it would be his
last visit unless Jerome Thurston's
opposition could be overcome,
and there seemed no possibility of
such an event. Allen decided that
his only hope lay in contriving
some way by which he and the
young woman could be married in
her home.
1t was while he was sitting in
his room late that night that a
happy thought came to him. He
went to his desk and wrote a long
letter to the girl
When Miss Thurston was hand
ed an envelope addressed in the
writing she knew so we'll smile
flashed across her face and before
the reading had been more than
half finished she was laughing so
much that the tears were starting
from her eyes.
