are admittedly ready to try some sort
of Legal regulation.
I have talked with all classes of peo-
pie city and county officials, business and
professional men. They are agreed al
most TO man that present conditions
are bad and that something must be
done. They no longer call for law enforce
ment. They know that this is impossi-
BILE.
A few months ago they heard Judge
H. B. Foster, from the county court
bench, denounce perjurers and declare
that prohibition laws could not be en-
forced as long as the best people of the
community assist in the violations, and
then refuse to tell the truth on the Wit
ness stand. -. Il
The people of Tuscaloosa want the re-
establishment of the dispensary
TuscaIoosa's Dispensary
They had a dispensary for six years.
They know what it is. The dispensary
displaced six saloons in the town. Fol-
lowing the dispensary the people have
had almost three years of prohibition.
These people have tried the three best
known systems. for the handling of liquor
and are prepared to choose.
There are very few people who would
and do advocate the return of the sa-
looms, but the great majority seem to
favor the dispensary. The prohibitionsts
say that if they cannot get practical pro-
hibition they prefer the dispensary.
The concensus of opinion seems to be
that should the question be submitted to
the people of the county the dispensary
would be Endorsed by almost as large a
majority as that polled for prohibition in
1907, which was 503
Conservative prohibitionists admit that
they believe the county would go for a
dispensary, but are not so liberal with
majorties.
The dispensary sentiment is growing
every day. The people are earnestly
seeking some practical solution of this
perplexing liquor question and the munich
pal dispensary is the usual conclusion.
Tomorrow l will give a history of the
organization, management and results of
the operation Of the Tuscaloosa dispen-
sary and something Of what leading peo-
Pile of the town and community think of
the system.
