Milwaukee, March 26.?The -first of a series of re ui ark able de bales was held tonight ou the ?question, "Resolved, That pro hibition, as applied to ihe manu facture uud sale o( intoxicating ibeverages is right." Mayor David S. Hose of Milwaukee ilook the negative, and Dr. Sam'I. Dicicie, president of Albion col .lege, Albion, Mich., spoke for the prohibitionists. The hippo drome, with ii seating capacity of 6,000, was jammed to Hie doors, aud throngs were lurued -*way. There was no decisiou ren ,-dered on the debate. Dr. Dickie said in part: "The prohibition of the liquor trattic is right if considered only Iroiu the economic standpoint. The saloon is the foe of capital, but preeminently the enemy of .iabor. The liquor business breeds ^criminals. The testimony of prison chaplains, of Wardens, sheriffs aud judges of the crimi nal courts warrants the asset* lion that from 80 to 90 per cent .of crime is directly traceable to ihe use of intoxicating liquors." In arguing that prohibition is wrong, Mayor Kose treated the subject from three standpoints, ihe Biblical, the ethical aud the Anateual. He showed that while the evil existed when the Ten Commandments were written, juo attempt was made to enforce jpfohibiiion in the decalogue aud lie challenged any one to find one word in the Bible advocating ihe theories of prohibitionists. He toolc the census figures of "the government and records of ?cities aud States to prove that jprohibitioo did not decrease jsrime, insanity, death, domes tic infelicity, pauperism and staguated business. He tooU the criminal records of Milwau kee, wide open town, and showed 4hut the arrests per capita were fewer than in the prohibition JStales of Muitie, Kansas and Geo jria. He showed that more drunkenness existed iu Maine Alian iu Wisconsin. Muoli was said about thou ,Hands of drunkards dying every .year, lie said, but he quoted cen sus to show that more persons ?Alied of whooping cough and measles than of alcoholism. The mayor showed that the A>auk deposits of dry States were /?mailer than the liquor States | jtnd suid that prohibition had been a failure wherever tried, .because It was impossible to cor ,rect the ills and weaknesses of Jul in an nature by laws. In the jSonth the theory had failed and liquvr was to be had there not ,?uly by whiles, but by blacks, ,und a marked increase in the ydrug habit whs noticable. Atlantic Coast Inventions.
