Dispensary Law Will Be
Abolished by Legislature

the dispensary as having been neither
a financial nor a prohibitive success.
The number of local agencies has
dwindled to sixteen in number, dis
pensing alcohol to the drug trade and
liquor and wine on physicians pre-
scriptions. No beer is handled The
state agency management had prac-
tically little to do with enforcement of
the Billups act until eighteen months
ago. since which time all of the en-
forcement, save work done by the
state enforcement attorney, has been
directed through and connected with
the agency. Again, there is well set
tied conviction in the public mind, ac-
quired since the general election two
years ago, when the dispensary sys-
tenn was submitted to vote Of the
people, that state and local agencies
were not desired.
Following the election local agencies
were only re-established in counties
upon application of the people, and
the absence of such requests has been
taken as indicating drift of public
opinion.
The plan of removing official deler-
lets as outlined was proposed in the
Burnett act of the first 1910 special
session, but could not be adopted ow-
ing to a heavy opposition. The chief
objection then was to clothing the exc
cutive with power to remove an elec-
tive officer with the possibility OF max
ling such elective officers authority
lsubserclent to that of state appointee
I'm other words, If the state officer
would not, and the local officer could
| mot, enforce the anti-liquor law, the
Halter would be made to suffer.
Opponents of the plan to be pre-.
scented during theh third legislature
favor continuance of the state dispen'
sary along lines outlined in the Burnett
act, which would mean abolition only
of local dispensaries. The state agency
would be made a clearing house for
disposition of confiscated goods, how
ever, with the array of state enforce
ment officers conspicuously absent
Like the other plan, enforcement
would be left to local officers with the
governor authorized to remove them
for failure to enforce the law, not, how
ever, until such officer had been given
a hearing before a court The idea
would be to ship to the state agency
dealers outside the state, and SO pei

tanned for the benefit of the state

salary fund of the county wherein the
seizure had been made. AS variation

While the active prohibition advo-
Gates will be engaged in solving the
liquor problem from their viewpoint,
another force will be working to have
passed a reasonable local option and
high license amendment to the state
constitution with view of supplant-
ing the statewide prohibition feature of
the document. This was attempted
through the initiative and referendum
last November, and the amendment
then proposed, not meeting the unani-
nous wishes of local option advocates,
received q larger adverse majority
than it was probably entitled to.
It is planned to have the legislature

elector intended to or not. The situa-

been the business of promoters or ad-
vocates of a proposition to educate the
voter how to cast an affirmative ballot,

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. "A feature of
the third legislatures session, which
begins today, will be an attempt to re-
peal the state liquor dispensary sys-
TEN and make prohibition in Okla
homa as alright as 1t is possible to do.
II carried out, this will be the most
radical departure from the policy OF
the retiring administration, and 1t will
have the active support of the ultra
prohibition forces, who have never
been more than lukewarm toward the
dispensary idea. 1t is understood the
plan will be supported by the Okla
homa anti-saloon league and contem-
plates not only complete abolition OF
the state dispensary, but removal Of
the number of state prohibition en-
forcement officers as well. Fred s..
Caldwell, who has been state enforce
ment attorney during the Haskell ad-
ministration and to whom is accredit-
ed large amount Of the enforcement
work since statehood, will, 1t is under
stood, tender his resignation to the in
coming governor, with the willingness
to continue representation for the state
in pending suits. One of these Is the
application OF Oklahoma for writ of
prohibition against the federal district
courts. pending before the supreme
court of the United States, in which
Senator Josph Weldon Bailey of Texas
is special counsel, appointed by Gov
ernor Haskell.
Under the new plan enforcement of
the liquor laws will be relegated en-
tirely to the local officers. AS 1t has
been the local officer, shorn of some of
his authority by the Billups act, has in
many cases been content to let the
state officers handle the work. A COM
panion provision to be submitted rem
ders the local officer liable to removal
by the governor for failure to enforce
the prohibitory law, but not until the
officer has been given opportunity to
be heard both before a court and the
governor. The officer would be EN-
powered to make seizures of liquors,
and when they have been declared con-
traband spill them into the sewers.
There is contemplated no seizures
from joints and bootleggers, and re-
sale by the state to dealers in other
states, as has been the custom and
one which has subjected the dispen-
sary system to more criticism than any
other Advocates Of the new plan view

COUNTESS AS STREET SWEEP
Young German NobIewoman Inspired
Her countrymen to Freedom by
Display Of Fortitude.

Julie M. Lippmann tells a story OF
the Thirty Years war In st. Nicholas.
under the title of 1.-THE Street Sweep
er." The author says:
Now Mainz is one Of the strongest
fortresses in Germany; but, neyerthe-
less, during the Thirty Years war it
was occupied by the French, who laid
the country waste and ruled over the
land with all the harshness OF In
vaders. There seemed no hope Of es-
Gaping from their tyranny, for the men
who had fought and lost were dis
couraged, and had no further heart for
resistance. So matters went from bad
to worse UNTIL one day, the beautiful
young countess of Stein summoned all
the sweetest and best maidens of the
city into her presence, and urged them
to make solemn vow that they would
neither wed nor listen to a word Of
wooing until their country was en-
tirely free.
AS you may believe, the news OF
this league made great stir; for men
who have lost their courage In war,
and men who have lost their hearts In
love, are very different beings. The
Frenchmen saw very soon that the
young Germans were showing signs
of rebellion, and 30 they determined
to Wreak their vengeance on the
countess. They took her prisoner,
dragged her through the city, and at
last thrust broom into her hand, and
babe her sweep the principal street OF
the town-a terrible humiliation, they
thought, for a high-bred lady as she
was
But do you think she faltered? NO,
indeed. She raised her eyes, and,
praying aloud SO all could hear: God

instead Of jeering, took off their caps
and echoed her prayer-"God bless

at sunrise the parties met at the ap-

although he faithfully performed this
duty, the duel never took place.
