From the Daily Item, Jan. 30. A decision to run away from the Kpworth Orphanage in Columbia ar? rived at Friday afternoon and car? ried out Immediate'" resulted in Po? liceman Trlbble taMrg In hand two small boys Saturday afternoon and turning them over to Chief Bradford who, after feeding them up well, sent them on hack to Columbia to the or? phanage where they were perfectly willing to return after their freedom f two days and an exptltnct of the ways of the world. Policeman Trlbble saw the two beys wandering about the street Sat? urday ifternaln and after noticing them for some time he came to the conclusion that they were lost. He questioned them and they told him that they wen- from Kpworth Or? phanage in Columbia and that they had run away and, most Important of all, that they were very hungry and wanted something to eat. After he spoke to them they were very straightforward about what they had done and were quite willing to do anything that he deemed best. Mr. j Trlbble turned them over to Chief Bradford* who after questioning them further, took them around to a res? taurant where they were fed plentifully and felt much better for the feeding. After that they were taken rare ol by Chief Bradford until time for the train to go to Columbia when they were put en and sent back to the or? phanage. The -t ?ry told by the Leys was a very Interesting one. The two boys were named Tom Prince and Turn Heaffon, arid were H and 1". years old. Tiny were from the upper part of thn State and said that they had no kick coming to the orphanage, but that they were Just ?i\iotis to get out of It. They had suddenly decided Friday afternoon to run away and at once carried their d- - ctaton into effect by "lighting out." They walked all tin way from Co? lumbia, Sleeping out In the edge of a woods on Friday night and coming on to Sumt' r Saturday morning, which place ihey reached about I p. nt.

During the lust six months public opinion has changed radically and tht States that have adopted prohibition art prop*ring to reject it and they are preparing to adopt model license. Th- pity of It is that years have been wasted In bitterness anl lawlessness and farcical lawmaking when the r?u. dy was to he had for the ac? ceptance. When the National Model License League was organized, a little over three years ago, the press of the country exhibited an interest in the movement, hut it also exhibited very great skepticism In commenting upon the utteranes of those who spoke at the first onventlon, and in regard to the value of. our resolutions. The press seemed to believe, and the conclusion was reasonable, that the model license movement was born of the fear of prohibition, and this be? cause the prohibition wave was at its height three years ago, and it seem? ed to sweep over the entire South? west, Central West and a large part of the East. Furthermore, the leaders of the Anti-Saloon League were tremendous factors, politically, three years ago, and they did not hesitate to make open threats to drive into political exile any men in public life who re? fused to accept their doctrines any more than they hesitated to make threats to drive from the pulpit min? isters who took exception to their radical and very extreme ideas. The press was skeptical insofar as we were concerned, and we do not Idame it for being skeptical, but it was fair, and it was considerate, and It gave thought to our statements, and it made investigations for the purpose of finding out if the things we said were true or not. When the President of the Nation? al Model License League, something over three years ago, in a speech made in New York, declared that the Anti-Saloon League was not a reform 1 movement but a political movement, pure and simple and that the few iron who controlled it were Undertaking to dictate the politics, state and national, throughout the country; were under? taking to say who should be in Con? gress and in the Senate, and who should be SlaOtSd as governors of the various Staus, and Sfl members of the various' Legislatures; and, fur? thermore, that these few men were i -coming enormously wealthy through the contrlbutloni made to the Antl Saloon League, the newspapers of the country, with some few exceptions, disagreed very radically with his ut tsrnnoss and expressed the belief that while Btate-Wlde prohibition might not bo eff? ctive there could be no doubt thai the Anti-Saloon League In fighting th?- lawless saloon was bring? lug about a great reform and in se? curing the adoption of local option, was bettering conditions in thousands Of localities and helping the cause of temperance immeasurably. When this League announced, how? ever, that neither State-wide prohi? bition nor local option could do any material harm to the liquor trade in general, but would rather bring about an Increased consumption of alcoholic beverages, the press was really amus? ed and from every direction, from minister and from speakers employ* d by the Anti-Saloon League, and fr.un editorial writers, the question was hurled at us: "Then why is the li? quor trade opposed to prohibition?" This has been a very difficult ques? tion to answer satisfactory and it re? quired a allowing such as has been made recently by the Internal Revenue Department of the United states Government to convince the press and the public that our con? clusions wer?> correct. We tried to explain that while prohibition docs not hurt the trade as g winde, it does' hurt the individual in the State or county In which prohibition is ad >pt ed and that while prohibition in Georgia? Tennessee and other States destro) millions of property belonging t.? distillers and dealers in those States, It simply compelled the con? sumers In those stat.-H to purchase their liquors from (b alers and distillers in other states and, of course to tint exten! it beneAtted the distillers and dealers In these other States. VVc knew that the passage of such laws was not Intended lo prevent any? one from buying OF using liquor and that the result of such laws, outside 1 oi the destruction of privat?? property i and of revenues, was simply to com? pel the con*!*!m r to ???;" his goods through m ill-order chanm ii ami I ? buy bj the < sac rather ?han by ?he drink, in . p aklng before the Ohio L< gls I itur . something in<?' lhr< ? years ago, : In opposition to Ihe l: ose HUI, I mud< the a nertlon that Ihere was nothing I In I he bill i Inn n'ould Intel fere wil h tin- people In a county thai mighl adopt local option under it securing all the wine, beer or whiskey that they might desire, keeping it In their pOSSt salon or glv ing it to ???th? rs, ami that in <onsequence it was not a prohibitory measure and I then of- I fered an amendment which provided I $100 tine and thirty days in Jail if, any man ordered liquor brought into a "dry" county or if liquor were found In any man's possession In a "dry"' county and this amendment was op poted by the Anti-Saloon League and defeated because the Anti-Saloon L?ague realized the fact that while people will vote for prohibition they Will not vote for it if it promises to prohibit the voter from supplying his own requirements. The men who are connected with League have made a study of pro? hibition from the records of the pa st? and we know that the movement In the 30's and in the 60 s, and in the 80's had no effect on consumption and did not bring about any reduction in drunkenness so far as statistics show, but these movements cost millions of dollars in revenue and millions of dol? lars in private property destroyed, and millions of dollars expended in agitat? ing the question and they brought about life-long enmities between form? er friends and they disrupted commu? nities and they destroyed revenue for law. We knew that the movement, which was started by the Anti-Saloon League about fifteen yearss ago, would be as barren of good results as the preced? ing ones and that It would be a much easier matter in these days than in the past to establish mall-order chan? nels with which to supply consumers in so-called "dry" territory. We knew, furthermore, that where people purchase their liquor by the case, whether of beer or whiskey, they would consume far more beer and whiskey than where they pur? chased it by the glass, as they might require it, just as men consume more cigars where they purchase them by by the box than where they purchase a cigar as they need it. We know that while prohibition might destroy the property of saloon? keepers, and wholesalers, and distil? lers, and brewers, in certain States and counties, It would not hurt the business as a whole but would really enlarge its possibilities. We did not suppose, however, that the Increase In the consumptive demand for alco? holic beverages would be so tremen? dous on account of prohibition as the figures of the Internal Revenue De partment show that It has been. As an aggregate this increase is enor? mous. Here in Kentucky, during the last seven years, the consumptive demand for whiskey made in this State but shipped to all of the States has In? creased from 22,000,000 to 32.000,000 gallons, and this liscal yeav the con? sumption promises to run to 35,000,000 gallons and in anticipation of a steady increase the production in Kentucky this year will run over 40,000,000 gal? lons. Simitar iner? asei have taken place in Pennsylvania! In Maryland, and In other distilling States. Throughout the United States the increased con? sumption, as shown by actual tax payments of distilled spirits during the last liscal year and as against the previous year, amounted to abour 1, 000,000 gallons per month, and dur? ing the year the increase in the con? sumption of beer, as shown by the taxpayments as against the previous year, amounted in the aggregate to about 'JO.000,00^ gallons. These figures are stupendous and the> pre indisputable, and they are attracting the attention of the press throughout the country and they are proving conclusively that prohibition, whether In North Carolina, or Geor? gia, or Alabama, or Tennessee, or Ok? lahoma; and local option, whatever the unit may be, have proved to be an absolute failure as a means of lessening the demand and the con? sumption of whiskey, wine and beer. Prohibition can destroy private prop? erty and revenue! and respect for law and the peace of communities and | it can turn pulpits into political ros? trums and otherwise sedate ministers of the Gospel Into howling political Dervishes, but when it undertakes to interfere with the inalienable right of American men and women to order their lives as they see tit, it is Invar! ably rejected, ignored, evaded or trampled upon as the occasion may suggest ?>r demand. in conclusion, i would repeat my statement of three yean ago that the liquor trade has nothing to fear as a whole from the Anti-Saloon League or from any laws that it may per*I suade Congress or the various Leg Islaturei or the people to adopt, and this, because the American people use! about 33 gallons per capita ?Iis-! tilled and form? nted liquors and they will continue to use these beverages regardless of an;, laws that may be adopted, Furthermore, I \?iii predict that 11h? liquor problem n\U1 be finally settled in ill of the Btat< * by regulation such as the press of the country hag for years demanded and as the fCatl >nnl Model License League advocates, T.
