tage of the present opportunity to COM
plete the integrity of her territory by
obtaining the cession Of Gibraltar from
England.
Il dc not share the general enthusi-
asm for Tangier," he said. 1T posses
sion would be a burden to us, but VIC
could exchange Ceuta Ca seaport town
in Morocco, II miles southeast of Glib
raltar) for Gibraltar, and in that Eng
land would continue to dominate the
straits, the thorn of Gibraltar would be
removed from our flesh and the bonds
of friendship binding us to England

CONG ELECT MEEkER and SAMUEL .
SMALL DEBATE The QUESTION OF
PRACTICALLY OF NATL PROHIBITION

Of 1896 wholesalers. Thus we see that
for every eight and a fraction Of re-
tail liquor dealers that have been put
out Of business, in the local commune
ty, mail order house has gone into
business.
Mr.. Small used virtually no statis-
tics in his argument in favor Of pro-
hibition. He emphasized the point
that the purpose Of the movement
against the liquor business was to do
away with what consumers at present
tolerated under the constitution of the
United States. He answered Mr..
Meeker's contention that prohibition
would violate personal liberty and
would confiscate property of the liquor
men by declaring that he or any other
prohibition advocate wanted to in .
fringe on personal liberties. or desired
to confiscate single stick of the
liquor Dealers property. He cham
pioned prohibition on grounds of NOR
atty, and declared that as slavery did
not cease until the thirteenth amend
ment to the Constitution had been
proclaimed. so the liquor traffic would
not cease until it had been abolished
by Constitutional amendment. En-
phasizing the progress of the prohibi
ton movement in many states, Mr..
Small predicted the coming Of nation
al prohibition.

Of the Worcester Economic Club to-

Meeker Of Missouri and Samuel w.
Small OF Georgia, national lecturer of
the Anti-Saloon League. Mr.. Meeker,
who opened the debate, said in part:
My contention is, first, that any
thing that is not fundamentally right
cannot be practicable, and certainly no
act OF Legislature can make it NOR
ally wrong for any individual to see
an article which he may purchase from
another without violating the law, or
which he may keep in store for him.
SELF and his friends, or which he uses
at the communion table in observing

Mr.. Meeker quoted statements made
in the 1914 report Of the commissioner
OF internal revenue to the effect that
"bootlegging" was principally carried
on IN states operating under local pro-
hlolt1on laws and that the spread Of
prohibition was responsible for the
growth Of the mail order business in
liquor. Continuing, he said: From
1913 to 1913, the internal revenue reports
snow a grand total decrease in the
number Of retail liquor dealers of 26,-

ures; medium weight, first class draft
ers, from $225@s325; heavy wagon and
