CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Decided Setback in Wheat at Opening Fol-
lowed by Moderate Rally.

Chicago, Nov. Big export business
caused firmness In wheat after material
decline which was largely the result OF
rains in Argentina Prices closed unsettled,
S1s5Q1S5A for December and $l.S5 " %
l.s5% for May, with the market as whole
one cent off to " up, compared with yes
terday's finish. Corn lost " to VI @ VI, and
oats A@% TO v. In provisions the out
come ranged from 2hc decline to rise Of
% cents.
Export buyers appeared to be holding off
during the first half Of the day. This con
stituted a handicap on the bulls. but was
taken to be in a measure sequence OF
further rains which were helping to over
come the Argentine drouht. Depression In
prices here was increased by word Of
sharp drop in quotations at Rosario, and by
notice that liberal purchasing of Canadian
wheat was a feature at Minneapolis. 1t
was just when values had reached the low
est point Of the session that signs devel-
oped pointing to renewed disposition on
the part Of foreign governments to buy
both flour and wheat. The market imme-
diately began to recover and. later scored
considerable gains when export sales were
estimated as high as 1000, 900 bushels.
Many longs took advantage Of the rise
In wheat prices and INDUCED in profit-tak-
ing to such extent that the market weak
ened toward the close. One Of the reasons
given for realizing by holders was that the
entire amount of available ocean tonnage
was said to have been already engaged and

With strong Argentina cables and reports
of A good export demand. the wheat mar
ket opened strong today. the opening prices
on December and May wheat being ABOUT
NC higher. nm
During the last Ave days total OF e,ooo',
900 bushels of wheat have been exported
from this country and at tho rate foreigners
are taking our wheat It will be only short
time until the surplus wheat for export Will
be all taken.
The corn situation is becoming very Sc,
rlous on account of the car shortage. and
al present the demand Is so strong that the
cash article is selling at wide premium
over corn for December delivery.
The local trade in wheat was very avtice
today, and although there was slight de-
cline about noon, price losses were quickly
recovered and wheat closed steady.
December corn reacted slightly and closed
Nc lower. while the May article advanced

The trade in oats was very quiet and the
market closed fractionally lower on both the

landed at the weeks top of sii.00. which
price, by the way, has been top every day
this week. Some fairly good comehacks
landed at sl0.70 and tops of n string of
range lambs went at 1880 Fat lambs are
now selling around 100l5c higher than last
weeks close. Monday the market moved up
that much. and today'a prices were just
about on a par with those paid at the open
ing OF the week, whatever strength was
shown Tuesday being lost the following two
days. Compared with Chicago prices local
values have been high all week, but lack of
adequate supplies has kept packers from
putting Omaha and other river points back
In line with the Windy City.
There were not enough muttons here 10
make n market, prices being nominally
called steady. At ono time this week eve
prices were 101i5c or more above last
weeks close, but present quotations are no
more than firm with a week ago. Decent
to good ewes are selling at s7.00DTl0. but
while some buyers nomlnally quote s7.25
top on good handywelghts. others express
doubts II anything would bring over $40.
What feeders were here sold at good,
steady figures. A string of lambs that land
ed at 1910 made up the bulk Of the offer
ings. Diminishing supplies have put this
feeder trade on q somewhat sounder footing
this week, and desirable stuff has been on a
good firm basis all week, current prices on
good light and medium weight lambs being
II anything stronger than last Friday In
between grades are not selling any better
than they did at the low time. Broadest call
is for the real light lambs, provided they
have the quality. and while nothing has
been selling above s975@9.s0. buyers would
not hesitate about giving 1890 for some
thing that just suited them.

Prohibition VS.. High License

W. Conne who came Omaha with the birth of Nebras
ka state and has witnessed the growth and OF
city of 100000 inhabitants uponbeng interviewed as to his
views Of prohibition responded that he had come to feel good
deal like the old Quaker who said to his better half WIFE,
do believe everybody has crazy except me and ana at
times have my doubts not little bit oft in the upper
story" Notwithstanding these doubts Mr. Connes views are
follows:
favor the present high license system proposed abso
lutte prohibition for the following reasons:
Frs-Our present high license law in effect local op-
ton law. ..> ..
"Second-Under the present high license system where
public sentiment will sustain prohibition you have pro-
hbton This true of county Nebraska under exist
ing law Where the sentiment of the people in city or
county does not sustain prohibition this attempt to enforce it
will be dismal failure.
Third better to have regulation of the liquor traffic
than booteggng which is certain to follow attempted pro-
hibition r.
"Fourth-Certain evils have existed from time immemo-
rial will continue to exist form for all time to come
They can regulated but not wiped out by law constu-
tona amendments. . 80,
Ffth-There less danger from open fire that can be
and kept within proper control than from concealed or
smothered fire.
"sixth-What person wants, they will have.
eventh-To be denied anything only creates the desire
and increases the determination to have it anyhow
"Eighth-You can't legsate goodness into anybody
Nntht is education not legislation that makes people
better The teaching of the fects of alcohol on the human
SYSTEM taught in public schools is doing more for
the cause of temperance than all the prohibition agators in

But this single file uf all sorts,
sexes and conditions of people that
wind around the square and regard
neither cold nor rain, is NOT bread
line. 1t is not the hungry, famished
fringe of society's derelicts waiting
for it's dole of bread. It is the
WHISKEY line. From the lady be-
low Broad street to the woman of the
underworld, from the banker to the
bum, this thirsty aggregation is the
daily parade, travelling at snail's
pace, that is drum ajored by the
law of South Carolina and drawn up
in front of the express Office for it's
package of boze. This is what people
will do to get liquor. If the state of
South Carolina could devise method
more humiliating, we canot imagine
it. Struggling, fighting, contesting
every inch, quarreling over a place in
line, these people waste hours and
pay high prices for bad booze, some
I es to have it snatched by the piano
pinkertons and again to learn that
vhere is no package there.
1t is a sad, sickening spectacle. 1t
may be that by such waste of time,
money and dignity the people can
profit and be weaned from evil habits.
But in our mind nothing that de-
grades a people can benefit it, nothing
that makes people drink WHISKEY
can lead to temperance. 1t stands to
reason that when men go to all this
trouble to get alcohol they will i'm
port it in the most concentrated form
--WHISKEY.
Hurrah for the Whiskey Line. 1t

ENDLESS WHISKEY
LINE IN CAPITAL

Columbia, Dec. I'd. The most pop
ular thoroughfare in Columbia dur
ing the past several weeks-having
become thoroughfare" by reason of
the liquor laws now in force in this
state-is an alley running between
Lady and Gervais streets, leading to
the rear door of the Southern ex-
press company's office. The crowds
thronging this alley represent both
races, and all classes and conditions
of society. Bread lines" in cases of
strikes and of other situations in
which men, women and children must
be fed at the public expense, are prac-
tically reproduced in the capital city
in the lines which patiently wait at
the express Office each day, for the
gallons which are tolled out.
AS was stated in The Charleston
American by this correspondent, two
weeks ago, the liquor question in
South Carolina is going to occupy a
great deal Of the attention Of the ap-
preaching session of the general as
sembly, which convenes on January 8.
For the past quarter of century
the legislature has come to Columbia
and devoted most Of it's time to talk
ing about liquor and enacting laws
about liquor. 1t now seems that his
tory is going to repeat itself in this
regard at the 1917 session.
The present law allows a gallon
each calendar month to each citizen.
That large number of citizens are
taking advantage of the privilege"
given them by the legislature to get
a drink, is evidenced by the facts
stated. There is an act now on Gov
ernor Manning's desk, unsigned,
which can be held until the legisla-
ture convenes in January, which
would reduce this "pittance" to two
quarts per month, or 60 pints of beer
in lieu thereof.
1t is hard matter for those who
have ordered their gallon to get it,
but it is not so hard to go out and
buy a half pint, or even a pint-but
the liquor is most frequently very
bad, and the price is very high. The
statesmen must make big profit, on
account of the risk they run. That
the risk is considerable is shown by
recent raids made by state constables
in Columbia-but it does not deter
the peddlers Of liquor, because the
profit is great. That the same amount
of liquor-and worse liquor is con-
sumed, does not seem to affect the
lawmakers, however, even though il
is consumed at<a loss to the state Of
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1916-12-27
the revenue which was formerly re-
ceived from a supervision in theory,
but the facts speak for themselves.

the revenue which was formerly re-
ceived from a supervision in theory,
but the facts speak for themselves.
Here in Columbia during the past
several days there have been a num-
ber of raids, with very little result.
Some liquor was found, but very lit
tie. There is not often much liquor
on hand, because it is consumed as
it is secured-quickly. Several nights
ago raiding squad of state consta-
bles watched safe nearly all night
They raided the place of business and
found nothing. Then they demanded
of the proprietor that he open his
safe. He refused, but later, on the
advice of his attorney, consented. He
went to his attorneys and told them
that he had quart Of liquor in the
safe which belonged to some one else.
His attorneys advised him that the
officers could blow open the safe, if
they so decided, and that it was no
crime for a man to have quart of
liquor, anyway. Some time after mid
night he went back and opened his
safe, and the constables took the
quart
The prohibition forces, however,
are not yet satisfed-and they may
we'll not be, under the conditions ex-
listing. The situation is bad and they
realize it. The prohibition advocates
have been gathering in Columbia dur
ing the past several days, looking to-
wards program to be submitted to
the next legislature providing for a
reduction in the amount which may
be secured during any one month.
Mr.. j. K. Breeden, superintendent of
the Anti-saloon league, who was here,
has given out statement in regard
to the gallon month allowance, 1--WE
learned that there is widespread
dissatisfaction with the act, as pro-
viding for too much liquor" He is
urging decrease in the monthly al
lowance.
Nobody can predlcr with any accu-
racy what the legislature is going to
do with the liquor question, except
that it will consume the usual amount
of time in fighting over it. Governor
Manning will either have to veto the
two quart bill within three days after
the Legislature meets or it will be-
come law. If he vetoes it, only one
third Of each house will be necessary
to sustain the veto and kill the bill.
Former Governor Blease during his
administration addressed letter to
President Wilson requesting that
United States revenue licenses be de-
MED those in this state not entitled
under the law to sci liquor, and sug-
gested that in this way the liquor

government to those violating the
liquor laws of the state. The request
of Governor Blease was denied bv
President Wilson, who cited a long
opinion from the legal department. of
the government.
1t is not improbable that the ef-
fort will also be renewed at the COM
ing session to provide a license sys-:
tenn in Charleston and other tiles
having certain population, but there
appears to be little hope now OF any,
such measure getting through. The
legislature may or may not take any
action whatever in regard to the stu
alton, but relief from present condi-
tions is being generally demanded
throughout the state. Of course the
comon carriers are making money
and stacks of it-or they ought to be.
from the amount of business which
they are handling.
All indications point to a stubDolssk
fight which will go in detail into tlVss
whole liquor question, and reopen rs;
in it's every aspect. s
There are some who are convinced
that there will never be real prohibis
tion until there is national prohibiS
tion, and that the state had betteN|

goes out Of the. state, and make an
honest effort, staring the facts in the
face, to cure the evils that hang
around about the sale of whiskey.-
They seem, however, to be in mi
nority, and there is not much PROS
pect Of any legislation along that line.

THE WHISKEY LINE.

If one should 60 down to East Bay
and Broad streets he would see a long
line of motley humanity, men and wo-
men, white and black, waiting from
early morn till quite dark. At first
he would think it some bread line;
for there they wait, standing for
HOURS, each with face seeming to
say in every agonized line: Oh! that
something may be there for me when
my turn comes.

cause that has resulted in the war
between England and Germany, Ja-
pans growth since this war began Is
enormous. I have read where che
has just launched a 10000 ton mer-
chant vessel, which was put into ser-
vice within four months from the day
the keel was laid. ! talked to a very
intelligent Jap in New York--a man
that have known for some years
and he rather got the pest Of me. i
approved the policy of keeping them
out Of, California, and his reply to me
was, 'Yoa sent Perry to Japan, and
he forced open our doors to you, and
now you are the first to close your
doors to- u.s. do not think there
is any doubt that Japan has her eyes
on South America, particularly Mex
leo, and that they are crowding in
the Hawaiian and Philippine islands,
and unless we get an adequate navy
and army they are going to drive
us out from there. She has already
taken over all Of the China trade,
that used to go principally to the
North and South Carolina mills,
which amounted a few years ago to
$50, 100000, while it was under ST.
100000 last year.
Looks for Armisffce.
II am convinced that when an
armistice does come, it will come as
suddenly as the war started. rea-
lie that there may yet be some very
heavy fighting, but it will be because
the terms of peace will be very diff
ficult to agree upon. France will, Of
course, want Alsace and Lorraine
back, and probably insist on placing
the new boundary over the Rhine.
Unless they can beat Germany to her
knees, and take them at the point Of
the bayonet, Germany will never con-
sent to give up these two provinces,
because the potash deposits, and most
of her coal and iron are there. She
is also bound to have, if possible, Ze-
brugge and Antwerp. There she runs
up against England, who will die be-
fore she will consent to any such
terms.
Enlarged Visions.

about this war is the advance of state
socialism. All of the nations will
come out of the war with a new out
look and enlarged visions of the
function of government in protecting
the individual citizen. Under the de
fense of the realms act England
took over all the public utilities, in
Guiding railroads, etc., guaranteeing
to the owners that they would be put
back on the same level after the war
was over. The result of this govern
ment operation is cush lesson that
it is sure to be carried on into peace.
1t means the end of labor troubles.
The factories are now turning out
from two to five times as much as
before the war, when the output was
restricted by the lobar unions At
the same time, they are paying the
workers three times as much wages"
