Troublesome Complications in
Dispensary Funds.
In the office of the United
States circuit court today a copy
of an order of Judge Pritchard,
signed yesterday, was received
for filing, in which the court directs
the several banks holding
dispensary funds to honor the
checks of the National Loan and
Exchange bank of Columbia for
certain amounts to make up the
amount of the claims approved
by the state commission and the
federal court for liquors furnish
fn riianensarT. The
VIA .V <
amount involved it $153,825.43.
For convenience it is proposed
to collect this money into the one
depository and draw the checks
upontthis institution, but it appears
that the banks are not inclined
to honor the checks of the
Columbia bank on account of the
later ordar of the court in appointing
the receivers, and the
order which Judge Pritchard
aigned yesterday opens the "way
for the banks to act in that it
removes the restriction which
was placed upon the payment of
money in the respect just alluded
to. It is even now a question
whether the banks will pay
this money without the return of
its equivalent in the collateral
which all the depositories put up
before they received any of the
dispensary money. The state
commissioners will doubtless
hold the securities and the
banks will keep the money in
their safes.
The liquor traffic has had its
day, has made its money and
- - 'now it uab to go. It is a doomed
business in the United States.
The wise men in the business
see the handwriting on the wall
aud many of them are getting
out or preparing to do so. The
fact is that this traffic has gone
wrong, awfully wrong; it has excited
the enmity of the people
to the unbearable point and
they have determined to vote it
out. Prohibition is as certain
to sweep every State as that the
sun will shine in daytime.
Every State that votes it makes
it stroDger and makes it more
impossible to continue the liqoor
traffic. The liquor business
will never again be what it
has been. It is not the "moral
, question" that is knocking out
this monster. That, ot course
has helped, educationally. But
it is a purely business proposition
that has been driving this
traffic out onexistence and will
not stop until it is exterminated.

To an ordooker the senatorial

have been very much of a farce,

W. J. Bryan Writes Letter to
"The State."
Wm. J. Bryan, in a letter to
The 8tate says that it is not for
turn to discuss the question of
availabilily as a candidate, he
says, it is not a question upon
which his judgment should be
ventured or accepted. "I have
simply stated that it is a ques
tion for the voters of the party
to determine.
"As a Democrat I have resented
the claim that a few editors
should decide for the people.
I am a believer in free
speech and a free press and I
recognize tlie right of any edi
fnr whathpr his circulation he
large or small, to state bis
opinion and his reason tor it;
but those who read bis opinion
have a right to give it such
weight as they think it deserves.
I have insisted that the
readers ought to know what
pecuniary interest the editor has
in the questions under dis
cussion. F&r instance, I asked
the World to state editorially
what financial interest its owner,
Mr. Pulizer, has in the stock
and honds of corporations commonly
known as trusts. The
World has not seen fit to answer
the question.
"I do not deny the right of
Harriman or Morgan or Rockefeller
or Pulizer to own a paper
and present their views to the
pjblic, but I contend that in
the interest of honesty and fair
dealing the interest of the paper
should be known and the interest
of the owner in the questions
frankly stated."

"I am otsrwhelmed with

in the thick of the fight ever

surrounding us hai been op
posed to our policy and con
tributed in every way possible
10 its defeat. The powerful influ
eDces of the brewers and die.
tillers, with unlimited money,
have been arrayed against us.
Every conceivable technicality
has been invoked in the courts
against the law, but to-day in
one hundred out of one hundred
ami five counties of the State
the law is as well enforced as
any other penal statute, and m
the remaining counties the
atmosphere is getting quite sultry

the only State oapital in the
Union absi lutely without a
saloon. We have a quarter of
a million young men and young
women over 21 yeare of age who
never saw a saloon. I believe
we have the most prosperous

"I believe the victory won in
Kansas,City, Kan., is the great
est single victory ever won for
temperance in the United
States. Right across a street is
Kansas City, Mo., but the joints
are still closed on our side and
the city was never before so
prosperous. Later reports from
the bapks are even better than
those given by Mr. Trickett.
With $84,000 revenue from the
joints the city ran $24,000 behind
the last year of the old
ystem, but under our new system
it is self-supporting and the
city has increased in population
13,000 the last year."

The state of Georgia has
been without open saloons since
the first of January. Atlanta,
the capital and largest city in
the state, has been without
saloons long enough to furnish
some interesting comparisons.
For the month of January 1907,
when the city had its saloons,
the police court had before it i
1,693 prisoners, 341 of them
were charged with drunkenness.
During January tnis year, with
no open saloons, there were
768 prisoners in police court,
64 ol whom were charged wi?h
iutoxicaiion. It will1 be seen
that the total number of ar
rests during January of this
year is less than half the number
of a year ago, while the atresia
for intoxication were 80
per cent less than when Die
saloons were in operation. It is
also safe to assume that a large
per cent of arrests made for
other causes than drunkenness
can be traced directly to the
open saloon, and without saloons 1
crimes of all kinds are greatly
diminished. Of course there is
some drinking in Atlanta, some
of the stuff is smuggled through J
the mails to a' certain extent,
but there are no open groggeries
to entice the man who cannot
control his appetite. As a result
of prohibition Atlauta has
lost a certain element ot her
population, but it is an element
that is injurious to any city.
