 ''The law prescribes the kind of liquors to be manufactured and sold, and pro- vides that they must comply with the federal pure food acts.
 "All liquors must be analysed by the state chemist.
 sNo liquor can be sold to minors, nor are minors or women permitted to be employed on premises where liquors are sold.
 ''No saloon can be conducted In connec- ton with any other business except hotels.

 Dispensaries
 Should the people choose tne dispen- sary Birmingham will own and operate 1S dispensaries.
 "As each municipality that carries on a dispensary must invest in the business al the outset a sum of money not less than s5c0 for each dispensary established, il means that Birmingham would be re- uuired to expend at least $6500 before any | revenue is received. "rhe bill provides for one purchasing | agent for the 13 dispensaries, who has full authority to purchase all liquors for the city. Fe Is also empowered to em' | ploy assistants.
 "A dispenser for each dispensary is pro- vided for. He has solo charge of the op. citation of the dispensary, and Is likewise authorized to employ assistants. Both purchasing agent and dispenser would be elected by the commissioners oi | the city.

 "The net profits are to be distributed II the same manner as revenue from II censed saloons.
 Now, the chief argument in favor 0 dispensaries is the enormous revenue en | uring to the city But it only requires l ma athematical calculation to demonstrat | the fallaQy of this contention.
 "It has been observed that s6500 mus be invested at the outset. Add to thi 'the expenditures for furniture, the ren

tai of B stores, the salaries Of purchas- ing agent, dispensers, numerous assist ants and employees, and the cost of oper- ating these dispensaries runs into the tens of thousands As the law prohibits the making of more than 70 per cent profit, it is highly obvious that the dty's in come from the dispensary source would be nothing to crow about
 Moreover, dispensary advocates assert that dlspensaries materially diminish the quantity of liquor consumed. Now, if this be true the city would certainly not reap a harvest.
 "Under the license system 1t can be conservatively estimated that the city's income from licenses would be about S200,000 per annum.
 But this is not question of dollars and cents. It is whether blind tigers and lawlessness shall be suppressed and the liquor traffic placed under strict munich pal regulation and supervision
 The dispensary would not prevent the drinking of liquor in hotels or social clubs. In fact, instead of having 40 well regulated saloons under the license sys- tenn, the whole city would be a floating bsrroom under the dispensary scheme.
 Tt is certainly amusing to hear the pilots of the prohibition ship condemn the licensed saloon because the system of

 'It is highly inconsistent for these pro- hibitionists to laud the Birmingham com mission, appointed by the present gov ernor, and in the very next breath decry an excise commission to be appointed by the same authority.
 Moreover, under the dispensary sys- tenn, the commissioners have plenary jurisdiction over the dispensaries, and political machine could be built there upon which would rival if not excel thai of the excise commission. In fact, nc political or governmental scheme can bt devised or suggested that would be abso' lutely free from politics. It is simply z question of selecting the best plan ant then choosing the best men to execute that plan.''

WILL F0RESTALL
 ANY REVOLUTION

Blueflelds. Nicaragua, June 2s.-(via New Orleans. July 1.)-Although quiet reigns on the Atlantic coast of Nicar- agua, the government is alert and ex- traordinary preparations are being made to forestall any revolutionary movement. A strong garrison of sol diers has been placed here and the po- lice force has been increased from 10 to 75. A shipment of ammunition was received here this week. +a
 The soldiers sent here are merely held in reserve and are not on active duty but the police swarm everywhere and are extensively active in following the movements of persons suspected of revolutionary designs.
 Although the contentment of the peo- pie under the present administration is not pronounced, President Dias prob ably will be allowed to remain in office peaceably until the next regular cleo. ton. However, Diaz Is not regarded here as the strong ruler necessary for Nicara qua and the capital will continue to remain more or less inactive until R uermanent government is again estab lished.

Bribery of public officers is highly
condemned by all honest men. T he
man who, holding public office, ae-
cepts bride which influences his of
ficial conduct is properly denounced,
as one contemporary put it, as a
traitor to his trust.
There is another bribery, however
more dangerous because more sub
tie, or which the law provides no
punishment and for which only the
whip of public scorn can afford PEN
atty This bribery is by ones own
pocketbook, Some men who would
seorn the bride offered by another
win accept without apparent mis-
giving bribery from themselves.
1T will hurt my business. This
is he plea made by persons who
are asked to take a stand for
righteousness. 1t is a selfish plea,
but II is more; its a criminal plea
that public opinion condemns and
the criminal law Furnishes.
The reformer meets the evidences
OF this subtle form OF bribery when
he seeks the support of those who
place self above principle. Don't
quote me it would hurt my business,
is the reply to the newspaper re-
porter when some question of vital
public concern is under discussion
Conservatism, is often another
name or cowardiCe. Silence is
golden sometimes but gold is the
most cowardly of things. There is
no bribery more poisonous than the
bribery of ones own pocketbook,
Such bribery corrupts the very
fountains of public and private mo-
rality. .......
II is desirable to make living, but
II is necessary to make life.
AN Ideal Home.
We hear great deal these times
about the ideal happy home, and
men are not scarce who expect All
the requisites for happy home to
come from one side OF the house

make life and home happy for her
husband and children, but If she is
treated as a slave, and only given
her board and clothing in payment
for her services as mother wife

mid, and seamstress, is 1t any won,
der that little or no happiness ex,
lists in that home? II mother
spoils her son by pampering waiting
on him all the years OF his childhoo
and boyhood, and making him thinl
tht man should always he waited
on by woman of his household, IL
II strange that he expects a wife t
do the same, and that,in all likeli
hood, she either wears out in {
few years from such service or else
becomes bitter or disheartened. w,
IRE often told that in every true
