Temperance.

Some time ago we sent a mes
sage to Mr.. D. A. Tompkins of Char.
lotte, N. G. asking him to give his
views as to preference between a
dispensary and prohibition in Edge
field.
Mr.. Tompkins thinks we should
all strive for temperance and good
citizenship, rather than for a law
which is more or less neglected af-
ter its passage, whether it be for
prohibition, high license or dispen-
sary method, regulating the liquor
traffic. We give his full answer as
follows:
Many a good citizen is an advo-
cate of temperance, and is yet una,
BILE to find a party or cause to which
he can tie up because noAe of these
get the desired result.
Prohibition doesn't prohibit, on
the contrary, when it is legally
most effective it promotes most
blind tigers.
High license wont Go, because
the liquor interests and the bar-keep,
ers take possession of politics and
debauch these.
The dispensary won't do, because
the dispensary agent becomes cor
rupt and steals fortune.
Either of these three legal meth
ods may be selected as being best
for any one community. Any one
of these three methods enforced is
better than the other two not enforc-
ed, and generally none of the three
are we'll enforced. Generally the
militant advocate think that the
battle has been won when the elec
ton carries infavor ofhis or her plan.
When the election is carried, the
work in the cause of temperance is
just begun. To carry a prohlbl'
bition election and then stop is sim
ply to promote sblind tigers galore
In the country and in the manufac
turing town prohibition is the best.
In the small commercial city the
dispensary might be best. In a com
mercial city, high license might be
best. But none of the three are
very effective in any case unless
rigidly enforced.
Temperance must be growth
like education. The prime factors
which promote it areChristian works
and agricultural and industrial pros
perity. These have been at work
for long time and have caused no
table progress in the cause of tenn
perance. Formerly CASTOR Co.
N. G. did about as much illicit dis
tilling as any county, perhaps in
the United States. All the forces
of prohibition were expended to
break it up. All the forces of the
United States government, in its
revenue department., were expended
to break up illicit distilling. Meth
er of these had any appreciable ef'
feet to produce better temperance.
But the establishment in Castor
County of Benedictine Monastery,
devoting itself to teaching better
agriculture and good, but temper
ate living, has had a very material
effect. The good works of the pro
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1912-05-29

testant churches have been equally
advantageous to the cause of tenn
perance. These persistent Chris
tian and other educational influences
have also produced important re-
suits. Next in importance to these,
and perhaps even more for practi-
cal results, has been the building of
cottonmills andother factories which
give profitable occupation to the
people without the necessity of re-
sorting to distilling. These two
influences together have practically
made Castor real temperate
county.
By the construction of good
roads, and through these, the pro-
motion of commercial and social in
tercourse, temperance has been i'm
mensely promoted. In many cor
porations, employment is not given
to men who drink, and this of course
promotes temperance amongst men
who don't want to be prescribed.
In Edgefeld it would seem that
prohibition being in vogue, it might
as we'll remain in vogue. To make
change to high licese or dispen-
sary would simply be to swap one
sorry horse for another sorry
horse.
For temperance the influence
above enumerated must be brought
to bear upon the subject. The
work of the churches, of improved
farming interests, of industrial in
fuences by furnishing work and
prescribing drinking employees,
and the building of good roads, and
the development of schools and ed
ucation, will always bring about
more temperate life and make a
better citizenship.
Neither of the legal methods
above are here condemn
ed, but they will become effective
only through the development of a
citizenship that is in sympathy with
In other words, the
temperance must of necessity be of
slow growth, and part of Chris
tian civilization, and must move
about parallel with Christian civili-
zation.
An important material need in
county to foster temper
ance is good roads. The farming
interest is already doing fairly well.
The industrial interest is moving
forward at a satisfactory pace. Ed
ucation is advancing. Anaimprove-
ment of means of transportation
would be a great help to these 9th
er influences, in bringing about re-
suits which the law does not seem
to be able to reach in direct way.
For the restriction of intemperance,
prohibitions, dispensary or high Ii
cense, is effective only in proportion
as the particular plan elected is ex-
ecuted and each of the three is very
difficult of effective execution under
law.
People are sometimes Incorporate
because of vicious dispositions, but
in the great majority of cases good
peoplewho are Incorporate are SO be-
cause of underworld. Bring about
the influences to correct both of
these, and add some proper diver
sions and recreations and the tenn
perance of a community would be
tremendously promoted at once.

HOW ABOUT
THAT new DEPOT

According to the Pocotello Tri-
bune, immediate construction of
one of the pret,iest depots on the
Short Line will be commenced by
the railroad company at Blackfoot.
This seems strange, in view of the
statements made by the Short Line
officials on the occasion of their re-
cent visit to Montpelier. 1t was
I tlen given out by General Superin-
tandent Manson and Others of the
party that Pocatello and Montpelier
were to get new depots before any
other towns on the line, that the ap-
preparations for buildings at these
points had been approved by the
proper Short Line officials, and the
money would be available for this
work OH the first of last July.
Here it is the latter part of Au-
gust and there is not The least in
dication of a new depot for Mont
pelier this year. Instead we learn
that material is now on the way for
new depot at Blackfoot, and con-
struetion will begin within a few
days.

persist in passing Montpelier upr
What have we done, or what haven't
we done, to cause the company to

The officials admit that no town on
the line is so badly in need of new
depot as Montpelier, yet we are
forced TO "plng along" with the
present makeshift of depot, while
commodious quarters are provided
for other towns of much, less i'm
portance.

the reason for the neglect, aud th'

should take some action in th,

la toilette SCORES
THE BULL MOOSE

During the debate on the prAsi-
dents wood veto in the senate last
Friday, Senator La Toilette attack
ed the new Progressive party and
swore new allegiance to progressive
Republicanism. In the course of
his address he took occasion to re-
view the trust record of Roosevelt
while the latter was president, as
follows:
"On the day that Theodore
Roosevelt was made president of
the United States there were las
trusts and combinations in the
United States. When he turned
this government over to William
Howard Taft there we're 10,02(
plants in combination. When hs
became president the trusts had al
aggregate capitalization Of $3,
900, 900, and when he left the presi
denoy they had an aggregate capi.
talization of ss1, 200, 600, 900 ant
more than 70 per cent of it wa
water.
.'1'he present administration ha'
sought to apply the anti-trust Law
more vigorously than its predecesu
or, but the time to have applied tn
Sherman antitrust law effectivel
was in the infancy of these trusts
when there were only l4s.
81 do not believe that the ma
who was president at the time G
all times in the history of the Shel
1nan antitrust law when it coul
have been made potential in deter

no one else who is seeking that
position, Mr.. Gray will no doubt
again be chosen to represent Bear
Lake county on the republican state
committee.
The democrats will probably re-
elect F. L. Cruikshank as chair
man. However, we understand
that Chas. K. Harris was asked to
accept the Office, but that he turned
it down cold. He has also refused
to accept the honor of state central
committeeman.
Mr.. Cruikshank would he glad to
pass the position of craftsmanship
over to some other patriot, but as
there ia no other available man
hankering after the job, il looks as
though Fred would again have to

ocrats.

ty. At both lakes they were in COM
pany with DIR. George Kemmerer
and Professor Borman, government
experts, who came from Washington,

the government experts WAS arrang-
ed by the Idaho officials in order
that the waters of the two lakes
might be tested and reliable expert
nlents made to determine what ac-
ton should be taken to exterminate
the carp.
DIR. Kemmerer, who has been en-
gagged in this work for many years,
and Professor Borman, conducted a
number of experiments at Bear LAX e
and at the conclusion recommended
that the water be stocked with bass.
This plan, they maintained, offer
ed the most pratical solution of the
problem of carp determination. The
experts, according to Mr.. Kendall,
employ costly instruments which
scientifically determine the depth OF
