is allowed by law, in less quantities
than one-half of a pint and no one
shall sell any liquors, wines or beer
that are not contained in securely
sealed receptacles."
An amendment was offered to strike
out this section, and the editor, see
ing no real advantage to the cause in
a measure which compelled man
who only wanted one drink to buy
five, decided to advocate and vote for
the amendment.
He was one of the speakers in the
debate, not because he thought any
principle was involved, but in order
to gain the floor and call attention to
the futility of the laws already passed
flour bills of so-called temperance
character had already, on the same
day, passed the House unopposed
even by the liquor representative in
the lobby and the utter uselessness
of any liquor legislation which fell
short of absolute prohibition.
| stated my earnest belief in the
sincerity of the ladies present who
were working for these measures; |
also stated my belief in the sincerity
of the great body of men who made
up the Leagues membership, but |
stated that since the defeat of the
statewide prohibition amendment
three years ago, these agencies had
abandoned the field after their first
and only defeat in Florida; that in
stead of the W. C. T. U. and the
League going up and down the state
making sentiment for prohibition
with the purpose of renewing the
fight, they were spending their time
in Matching up little valuless laws
which meant nothing; that when the
League was in the fight for statewide
prohibition | was proud to engage in
the battle under it, but that | could
not and would not follow it again un-
til it inscribed on its banner "prohi-
bition of the manufacture, importa-
ton and sale of alcoholic liquors for
beverage purposes"
| also told the audience that two
years ago the League was before the
Legislature fighting the very same
Davis Bill which it was this year es-
pousing.
Of course l regret that Mr.. Cro6ke
took 6tfense, and | further regret
that he is now trying to misrepresent
my utterances and attitude. But that
S his business. My own life of de-
votion to anti-liquor legislation, of
the kind that means something, is
matter of record. l have made a
study of the history of liquor legis-
lation in the United States during the
last hundred years, and feel that
with this knowledge to aid me | am
competent to separate the good from
the bad.
The Journal of the House will show
that on all other parts of the Davis
Bill l voted as the Anti-Saloor
League would wish me.
After my address and the adjourn
ment of the House was warmly con-
graduated by many men, not only in
that body, but by members of the big
several of whom were min
'sters of the Gospel. From this fact
[ can scarcely be led to believe, even
by so good man as Mr.. Crooke
claims to be, that uttered heresy.

The evils of divorce and the growth
Of the divorce habit has been the fire.
quent theme of pulpit and press of the
country, and the courts are frequent
ly held up to public censure for the
growing evil. That there is another
side to the question, or rather another
angle from which it can be viewed is
found in the decision of Circuit Judge
+. d. Kline of Michigan, who has had
a quarter century of experience on the
bench and who in that time has hand
ed down several divorce decisions that
have been recognized as classics by
the legal fraternity. Here is Judge
Kinne's latest divorce decision: "a
wife's health and views concerning
connubial life are entitled to the same
respect as the husbands. Too many
husbands regard and treat their wives
as but chattels, created to minister to
their convenience and happiness.
While there should be mutual de-
pendence, there should also be mutual
independence. In this way only can
marriage become just, happy or ideal.
| have no criticism to make of the
church or clergy. Their severity
and conservatism move in the right
direction, but when they limit the
cause of divorce to the violation of
the seventh commandment, | think
they are mistaken. Mere incompata-
bility of temper is not a ground for
divorce, but the records of this court
abound in evidence of prolonged and
exquisite misery, indecent and hope
less inebriety, extreme personal VIC
lence, dethronement of every vestige
of normal married life, infdelity al
most retires in the presence of the
deeper and groSSer shame"

First Use Of STAGE Money

Stage money, that is, money of no
value off the stage, is first said to
have been used by David Garrick in
the eighteenth century. The money
is said to have been made by the
wealthy actor-manager so as to look
actually like real money. There was
little money, even of this counterfeit
klnd' used in the days of Shakespeare,
because of the scarcity of any kind of
money, particularly among actors.
