rare thing now to see a drunken
man on the streets of a Swedish eli
or town.
The new liquor law is the product
of commission created by the gov
eminent to devise ways and means for
controlling the liquor traffic with the
view of promoting sobriety. The COM
mission investigated conditions in every
civilized country. Even the prohibition
states in the United States were in
VeStigated.
''Ghe commission reported against
PROHIBITION and in favor of strict regu-
lotion and control. The plan finally
adopted by the commission and which
10 now in operation, may be classed as
Continuation of what is known as the
Stockholm and Norwegian systems.
Norway appointed commission to in
vestigate the liquor traffic, and the law
now in force in that country is the pro-
duct of the Norwegian commissions
efforts. The Stockholm system is the
product of the brain OF DR.. Ivan Bratt,
one of SWeden's great men. 1t was
first tested i'll the city of Stockholm
and proved highly successful. That is
why it is called the Stockholm system
The distinctive features of the new
law in Sweden are the complete sepa-
ration of distilled liquors from fermen-
ted liquors, the methods Of tracing and
limiting the use of distilled liquors, and
the regulation ond control Of wines and
beers, fermented beverages.
WHISKEY CAN Be TRACED
"Under the new law the government
can trace a bottle of distilled liquor.
from the manufacturer. or importer to
the consumer with unerring certainty.
Distilled liquors, or spurious drinks,
are handled only by bolags or compan-
les, and that class of liquor is sold only
in certain designated municipalities.
No distilled or spurious liquor can be
sold in the rural districts.

words used by H. G. Hastings, presi-
dent Of the Southeastern Fair Asso-
citation and the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce, in an interview given to
the newspapers here urging farmers
not to increase their cotton acreage.

pressed.
"On the Hastings farm we don't ex-
pect to put in an acre more of cotton
than we did last year, because we
think it time above all others to
play safe. What we will increase to
the limit of our ability will be food,
grain and forage, beef cattle and
hogs.
1.-THE safe way IS to first supply all
needs of family and stock from ones

in hand, and a garden producing

Liquor Question Is Live
Issue In This State
Decision of Supreme Court on Webb
Kenyon Law Canses Much
Comment

Forced to the front by the decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
States on the validity of the Webb-Ken,
| yon, law, and the recent moral agitation
in New Orleans and other sections of
the state, the liquor question has be
come a live issue in Louisiana politics.
Judging from the statements of per
sons who have lately made extensive
trips through the state, the issue is be-
coming sharply drawn, ard politicians
or political leaders who EXPECT to G.
anywhere will have to take SIDES r
line up with one OF the several fac
tons. The politician who attempts t;
dodge the issue will find himself astrid
4 political barbed wire fence.
As result Of the Supreme Courts
decision on the Webb Kenyon act and
the moral agitation in the state, both
the prohibltionists and anti prohibition.
lists have been split. The prohibitionists
have been divided into two factions
namely:
|. The "bone dry" faction that
wants dry territory made ALSO utely
dry"
2. The conservative faction that is
opposed to saloons and blind tigers, but
winch Ia 7ors a system for supplying
liquors for personal use or home con-
sumption.
The "bone dry" faction favors law
that will prohibit the use of liquor in
dry" districts for any purpose, ex-
cept possibly for sacramento uses.
The conservative faction is composed
of prohibitionists who are opposed to
saloons, but who are advocates of
legal system whereby whlskey, wine
and beer in reasonable quantities can
be supplied by the wholesalers or brew
cries direct to the homes. This faction
is not willing to accept "bone dry leg
and they are ready to make a
fight for their principles.
THE "WETS" SPLIT
The wet" forces have been divided
into two camps by the decision of the
Supreme Court on the Webb-Kenyon
law namely:
l. The faction that wants the exist
og laws to stand without change or
alteration.
2. The faction that savors putting
on distilled OF spurious IL
luots all over the state, but which /
would permit the sale of wine and beer, !
The Natchitoches enterprise. (Natchitoches, La.) 1888-1965, 1917-02-08

somewhat on the order of the plans
proposed IN Michigan, Illinois and Min
neSota, and now III force in Sweden.
Inc differences between the factions
,, may result IN new alignments and new
poltlcal combinations in the state.
In some of TIE state, notably in three
or tour OF the dry" parishes, there is
a disposition on the part of some OF
the second faction of the anti-prohibi-
tlonlsts to get together on some plan
that VIII contine and restrict the sale
OF Whlskey to narrow limits, and which
Will permit the sale of wine and beer
direct to families and clubs in the orig
NAL packages. The advocates of this
plan claim that it would eliminate both
the saloon and the blind tiger, and al
the same time supply all legitimate de-
mands for liquor.
Tho agitation of the liquor issue has
caused people of all classes to study the
question closely, and all literature Oh
che subject is being eagerly read.
THE SWEDISH SYSTEM
The Swedish system for controlling
the liquor traffic IS attracting more at
tentlon IN the state than any other plan
That has yet been proposed, for the rea-
son that many people believe tqat Swe-
den's law will become the model for
d statute that VIII settle the liqnor
question in Louisiana. Sweden's sys
ZEN is described in letter from an
american in Stockholm, which was
widely published In this country. The
letter follows:
THE government Of Sweden has put
IN force system of control of the IL
4uor traffic that is far in advance OF
any other nation. The new plan has
oeen IN operation about a year and
nalt, and it has been very successful.
1t is claimed by those in a position to
know, that, as result of the new leg
slatlon, drunkenness in Sweden has
oeen reduced more than half. 1t
