TILLMAN'S VIEWS ON MSPENRAKY Tie Sent* Answers Smk Question Propoiidcd (o flia MUSI BE A GENEKAL OVEHAULING Father of Law Shows HI* Position and Tolla of 81 na Whioh Mako Paoplo Oppose and Fight It. In an open letter to Francis W. His* Sins, of Newberry, Senator Tillman comes out squarely against the move ment against the dlapensary and de clares that the several counties should not accept prohibition until the Legis lature has been given a chance to re form the institution. It is as follows: Trenton, S. C.. July 1, 1905. Mr. Francis W. Higgins, Newberry, 8. C. Dear Sir: I have your letter of June 27, propounding certain Inquiries in re gard to the anti-dispensary movement in Newberry, and to the dispensSry and liquor question in general, and to my own attitude towards it. The question you ask relate to the most Important subject now agitating the minds of the people of the State, and in order to cover the ground at all satisfactorily it will require me to an swer at some length and to discuss the subject- in its various phases, and this becomes the more necessary as you no tify me in advance that you desire my answer for publication. I shall preface what I write by lay ing down certain general principles which will be disputed only by those who are fanatical and unwilling to consider any subject from any other standpoint than that of bigotry and prejudice. Most men will agree to the following: 1. All men love stimulants and are usually slaves to some one kind, as witness the strong appetite which pre vails for coffee, tea, tobacco, beer, wine, brandy, whiskey, morphine, qui nine, cocaine, etc. With the exception of some of the drugs mentioned there are no injurious effects immediately perceptible and none of them intoxi cate except those containing alcohol. Alcoholic beverages in moderation arc no more harmful tlian tea or coffee, probably less so. 2. The abuse of liquor by men drink ing to excess has caused as much or more crime and misery than any other one thing. 3. The proper policing and control of the liquor traffic so as to minimize its abuses is one of the most perplex ing and troublesome questions with which any government has to deal. Men have never agreed as to any one method being best and never will, and there is a constant agitation of the subject in some form going on all the while in almost every State in the Union. 4. Experience shows that some men will have liquor as a beverage and that no law has ever yet been devised which will prevent them obtaining it. Wise men are therefore content to re duce the evils of liquor selling and liquor drinking to the minimum, and the question nt issue in South Caro lina now as it has been these fifteen or twenty years past, is how to do this. There is no need for any heat or pas sion In discussing the subject and we should divest ourselves of all preju dices In its consideration. Thre^ poli cies have at one time or another been adopted in dealing with the question. License, high or low, prohibition nnd the dispensary system. Since 1893 the last named has been the method fol lowed In this State, but all along there have been staunch advocates of the other two systems embracing within their ranks many of the mo?t intelli gent and beat people we have. It is. therefore eminently proper that wo recognize these earnest, honest advo cates as having just what we claim for ourselves, no other purpose than that of the public welfare. And those of us who have l>een the supporters of the dispensary system must meet them in argument and show from the experi ence through which the people of the ^ptate have passed as well as with force and logic thnt the advocates of both prohibition and high license are in er ror. You ask, "Have you lost faith in the dispensary system and do you consider it so inherently defective that it cannot be purged of corruption and mude to servo its original purpose?" I answer most emphatically, no. I believe the principle of the State control and the sale of liquor through bonded ofTlcera to be the best that was ever devised; that It comes nearer to the Ideal Idea of teaching mo to use liquor Instead of abusing it. and throwing around it safeguards which will be the best for the cause of temperance. There Is no Inherent defect In the scheme, and If there be corruption and mal-admlnls tratlon In the enforcing of the dispen sary law It Is directly traceable to the legislature and to those who have been placed In charge of Its execution. In the absence of any positive proof of corrup tion we must nwalt with deep Interest the Investigation which Is now under way and urge those In charge of that Important work to earnest, thorough and speedy action. The people believe there is corruption and a great deal of It. Very many things go to show that this belief has good foundation In fact. We ought to know as soon as possible just what and how far men have been guilty of unlawful behavior. The suspicion which now hancs over the dispensary like a pall will cause many to hastily vote for Itse desl ruc tion. who arc still or have been strong believers In the dispensary system as a means of controlling the sale of whis key. So I would say to the gentlemen who are In charge of the Investigation that they can do the people of the State a great service by le ttlng In the light and probing to the bottom. We want to know what Is wrong and we can then determine how to provide a rem edy. while the criminal courts will, or ought to provldo punishment for the wrongdoers. The dispensary law has been undei Are In the courts and on the hustings ever slnco the system was Inaugurated. There has been only one general elec tion In the State, the last in which It was not an Issue. It won victory after victory for It was the msln Issue In the election of 1894, In the election for the constitutional convention In 1885, and In the State elections of 1896. 1898. 190(1 and 1902. Those candidates for public office who carried Its banners were al ways victorious. What then has caused the present upheavnl? Why are petitions circulat ing In a dozen or more counties ask ing for an election to vote It out under the Brlce law, and that too in coun ties which. In the past Its known ad vocates have always bad large major Itlee? Hare the people any gmttr faith 1b prohibit km than they han had all these pest years? I do not thlak so. Are the advocates of high license any stronger than they hare been? I do not hlnk so. I am bound to believe that the existing dissatisfaction and deelre to destroy the dispensary comes from the well-nlght universal belief of the people that there Is corruption In Its sdmlnlstrstlon and because the last Legislature failed to take any ac tion other than that to appoint a com mittee to Investigate. There were' charges, with how much truth they were made I dont know, that the dis pensary Influence In the "Legislature was psramount. Anyhow, the friends of the dlspenssry snd Its enemies joined forces at the last session to pre vent any action, and nothing was done, and unless public opinion shall drive the Legislature at Its next session to some reform action which will purify the atmoephere there is no possible doubt* that all elements of opposition to the dispensary, aided by many of Its old friends, will combine lit the next election and kill the system. I do not hesitste to tell you frankly that if it has become, and is to remain a corrupt political machine aa la charged. I cannot defend it and will not do ao, but will Join the ranks of those who seek to kill it. I believe it can be re organized and purged of corruption, with safegurads thrown around it to prevent the recurrence of the present unfortunate and disgraceful condition of affairs. I cannot now go at length Into the details and give reasons, but I will state briefly the causes as I see them which have produced the present situation. * t ?The purchase of liquor by any board ex-officlo or otherwise, should be stop ped. The original scheme which was hastily gotten up made the Governor, attorney general and the comptroller general ex-officlo the State Board of Control. This was changed very soon after I left the Governor's office and the Legislature assumed control by the election of the board; and Jn no in stance since has my advice and opinion had any weight in shaping its manage ment though I have tried to prevent some things being done and have urged others without success. It stands to reason that men who have to depend upon the suffrage of the whole people to get high office are or ought to be of a higher type with better characters and in every way better fitted for reaspon slble positions involving the handling of public money than those who with petty salaries are elected by the Legis lature. Politics always enters into a legislative election. People who vote for Governor vote for him beoause of other qualifications than that he would make a good dispensary direc tor, and for this very reason the Gov ernor is the best possible man to placo in such a responsible position. But the law is fatally defective in regard to the purchase of whiskey in not specifically defining in the most mlnuta and binding manner Just what kinds of liquor shall be bought and how it ehall be bought without leaving it to the discretion of any board. Every detail should be worked out and thrn the law would execute itself as far as that feature is concerned. The board would then need only to supervise the conduct of State and county dispen saries, the same as the asylum and penitentiary are run. Now as regards the proposed elec tion to vote out the dispensary. If the dispensary is to be voted out It should and must be voted out of the State, not out by individual counties. Of course I recognize the deep seated love of our people for local self government and I would not compel any county to retain the dispensary or have one established therein If a majority of the citizens want prohibition with Its acknowleged failure to prohibit. But judging simply by the facts in the numerous elections that have been held on the subject I believe that a large majority of the people of the State are as strong be lievers in the dispensary system as 1 am: and that they are only casting about now for a method of relieving themselves of the corrupt machine which Is said to be in charge In Colum bia. Many States In the Union have had corruption in their State govern ments and their State treasurers have defaulted?have sometimes stolen hun dreds of thousands of dollars?but no man has ever thought of abolishing the machinery of taxation because of this. We have got to deal with liquor in some form and provide for Its le gitimate sale or we know It will find illegitimate sale. Shall we have high license? I say No. That gives the monopoly to the wealthy man as against the poor man and we know from experience with bar-rooms that It will be Impossible to give any man the right to fill his store with liquor to sell and then have him comply with the constitutional require ments and not sell It at night and not have it drunk on the premises. If the dispensary Is abolished I will stump the State for prohibition rather than see high license. I have said this and It Is the reason probably that the story Is going the rounds about my stumping for prohibition. But before we have prohibition or high license either I ex pect if my health continues good, to give a very earnest discussion to the subject of how to reform the dispen sary Instead of destroying It and to showing the true Inwardness of the present movement. I^et us suppose that the present cam paign against the dispensary by county elections, shall progress victoriously as It has thus far and that the majority of the counties lu the State vole It out. Will the question be settled? By no means. The alliance of prohibitionists, high license people nnd blind tigers which Is now waging successful war will have to continue the war between themselves after the dispensary is de funct. Sensible men will not lend their aid to tiny crusade which only gives us "confusion worse confounded" and pro duces a chaotic condition with no com pensation. Under the decision of the United States Supreme Court, prohibition and no other State regulation can prevent liquor from being shipped In by ex press for personal use of individuals, and the jug country traffic from Wil mington to Charlotte, Atlanta, Augus to and Savannah will be Immense un der prohibition, and the money which now goes Into the dispensary for the use of the towns and counties of the State and the school fund will be sent out of the State to enrich the dealers and distillers of other States. Stills will be run In every swamp and wag ons will peddle liquor all over the country. The only fight worth enlist ing In South Carolina Is between pro hibition as rigidly enforced as It can be and the dispensary as honestly en forced as It ought to be. High license Is not to be thought of for a moment. Yet the prohibitionists say they prefer the dispensary to license and the license people say they prefer prohi bition to the dispensary while the blind tlgera wnnt prohibition because they know it means free liquor. i The elections now being held In the ' counties to vote the dispensary out are very different to the Democratic primary elections which will settle the question finally. In the first place the vote In these counties where election? have iH'en held against the dispensary i has been very small as compared with the regular roti It requires a certifi cate of registration to vote at such an election white la the primary the club jolle of the Democratic clubs govern. Then men are Indifferent ae they were In the prohibition election In 1892 when only sixty thousand out of ninety-two thousand voted In thst box. There ere probably thirty thousand or more good Democrats In the State who from one cause or another ere not able to vote in the elections held under the Brice -net. Thst law was shrewdly ' and lor the express purpose of I killing the dispensary I have been told. These thirty thousand will determine ! the question In the future ss they have In the past because they will elect the Legislature and the State officers In I the 8tste?Democratic primary In spite ?"T combination such as is now giv- 1 Ing us prohibition by a negative pro cess. Voting out the dispensary not because the people want prohibition but giving us prohibition because some people want free liquor, some people prefer to buy Illicit liquor and a return to the old barroom system, while many P?ople will do anything to kill the dis pensary with the hope of profiting by its destruction. ,1 would advise every advocate of the dispensary who Is in doubt to vote against putting the dispensary out of his county until we see what the report of the investigsting committee is snd then whether or not the Legislature at it? next session will purge the corrup tion out of the dispensary system, and put safeguards around it for the future. I say unhesitatingly It can be done successfully. The dlspensarv svstem has shown Its strength In past " elections becauBP people thought it was honestly administered. All that Is nc.-essary is to have them understand as they will un derstand by 1906 that they must kill the law In order to get rid of the cor ruption and they will make short work of it. It must be made clean or it must go. At present the campaign to vo?e it out county by county only brings about confusion, encourages blind ti gers and causes the counties and State to lose money, and settles nothing, and it is Impossible to settle the question in this way. I repeat It can onlv be settled at the general Democratic pri mary when all the people have heard all sides and have made up their minds intelligently. I desire to add in conclusion that j practically I am a prohibitionist oe- ! cause I very rarely drink any liquor of any kind. If I believed that prohlbl- j tlon could be enforced, understanding I as I do most thoroughly the great evil 1 attending the abuse of liquor I would j he a prohibitionist but knowing from ! the most searching investigation and ; from the ofTlclal record of the United I States government that in Maine and ! Kansas where prohibition prevails that i there has been a most dismal failure to 1 enforce the lav I prefer to the (iispen- . sary as the lesser evil, and as I have often said In the past I believe that State control comes nearer to the ideal management of this troublesome ques- ! tlon than any other. I have no personal Interest in view ' and am only actuated by a sense of public duty in taking the position I have occupied in the past and which I shall continue to occupy. I have always believed In the rule ' of the majority. But I want it to he i the majority of all the Democrats in l the State. B. It. TILLMAN. j PROMINENT PEOPLE. ' Mark Twain smokes constantly when !
