It was indeed time to sav something and the judge did not fail to say it. Enlarges Powers. All that was needed today to enlarge the powers of President Wilson to pre vent violations of American neutrality by vessels leaving United States ports with men or supplies for belligerents warships was the president's approval of a joint resolution of congress. The resolution, a substitute for thai previously passed by the h ouso, was unanimously adopted by the senate to day after a conference, at the White House last night between President Wilson and members of the foreign relations committee of the senate and house and others. It was later agreed to be the house. As finally passed the resolution differs in some cssntial particular from the original house measure. It has the hearty support of state officials, who pointed out the immediate need of its passage because of the "critical situation" resulting from the European war. Attention was called by these officials to the fact that the American government had been hindered by inadequate legislation to prevent vessels from leaving the United States with supplies for belligerent warships in contravention of American neutrality. The proposed legislation is a direct result of information obtained by the government in the recent grand jury inquiry in New York into alleged shipments of supplies to belligerents at sea. The resolution empowers the president to direct customs collectors to withhold clearance from any vessel of American or foreign register or license which the president believes to be "about to carry fuel. arms, ammu - ' Jr* ' nition, men or supplies to any warship of a belligerent nation in violation of the obligations of the United Stales as a neutral nation." If such a vessel sailed or attempted to sail v/iihout clearance a fine of from $2,000 to .$10,000, imp. isonmonl of two years,'or* both, and forfeiture of the vessel would be imposed. The president is empowered to use the military forces of the country to on force the law. j DISPENSARY LAW ! EASY TD ENFORCE' Dr. C. E. Butts Defines Duties of Officers IN THE PEOPLES FORUM Columbians Discuss Whiskey Situation in this State.?One Antagonist of Dry Laws. The State. "If I were a sworn officer of the law, sworn to defend and uphold and enforce the law, and did not stop the illicit sale of liquor in Columbia in live days, I would resign my position as a public officer," said the Rev. C. E. Hurts, D. D., in the discussion at the peoples' furum last week. This remark was elicited by the statements of C. T. Graydon an attorney, that the law could not be enforced. Dr. Hurts declared that it would be the easiest of laws to enforce, if t lie officers of the law would do their duty. After he had sat dewu lie was reminded by a member of the forum that John W. Richardson, chief of police, had said recently that lie could enforce the law if lie were instructed to do so. The meeting' of the forum was prosided over by E. Barton Wallace. He presented as the first speaker the Rev. A. W. \j lac k w o o d, past or stated that lie came in his capacity as a citizen and not as a preacher to show what had been done by prohibition in Kansas. He discussed the question from three angles. Is it right? Is it feasible? Is it profitable ? He cited facts to show that it is feasible?that prohibition will work. He spoke of Topeka, now dry. He spoke of Wichita, a city of the size of Charleston, which had almost defied the commonwealth of Kansas. The business men there have learned that prohibition pays and that it can be enforced the speaker said. Wages of Poor. As to the conserving of the wages of the poor. Mr. Blackwood stated that after the grasshoppers had passed over Kansas, a little more than a generation ago, the State was left in destitution. The abolition of the sale of whiskey had since that time made Kansas a rich State. He declared that it required a long time to put the machinery into motion to get prohibition enforced properly, but that it is done now. Dr. Blackwood spoke of certain cities where the law had not been enforced because the prohibitionists went to sleep on their rights an let bad men get into office. That alone he said, had given prohibition a black eye in the whole State, but it is today a dry State and the people are proud of it. ? C. T. Gradon, a lawyer, questioned the sources of information from which Mr. Blackwood had deduced that there are fewer blind tigers in Kansas than there were before and that the sale of liquor was decreasing. Mr. Graydon cited the New York World almanac. In reply Mr. Blackwood cited figures from the Brewers ' Year Book to show that this statement are founded upon the number of licenses issued by the government. Mr. Graydon replied that he had clients who have no revenue licenses and that the number of such licenses is no criterion by which to judge of the extent of prohibition in Kansas. He also spoke of the difficulty of enforcing the, law, although he said he expected to vote for prohibition, for the juries will not brine in the verdicts. He stated that in one court there were 21 cases to bo tried and 17 were noi prossed because in the other four cases there were no results. lie said that the only way to enforce the law is by injunction, or some such remedy. He cited the hundreds of open saolons in Georgia cities and the wholesale houses in Augusta and the liquor drug stores in Charlotte, N. C., to prove that liquor laws can not be enforced. An Economic Gain. The Rev. S. A, Steel said that prohibition is economically a great factor for progress. He cited the instance of his State. He cited the, instance of his native State. There Mr. Richardson, the grower of more cotton than any other man in the world had given $2,000 to fight local option, but when prohibition was put upon his country and he observed how well it worked, ho stated his willingness to give $5,000 to keep it there. Dr. Hurts made a very earnest address. He declared that the sale of whiskey is a question which affects most vitally the rural communities of the State. Ho declared that rural sections in i\?dgoneid and in Anderson lire greatly improved by reason of the curtailing of the sale of liquor and he asserted that the law can be enforced in Charleston and in Columbia. He declared that the defiance of Char-, leston is the most striking indictment of the guilt of that city.. He con-, eluded with the statement that the law can be enforced in Colubmia, saying that if he were an ollicer of the law ami illicit liquor selling continued he would resign. NOTICE.
