DRY DAYS IN THE SOUTH
By E DWARD LI8SNER, in Harper’. Week ly.
OLITICIA.NS In the South have
come to a realization that the
prohibition movement in their
region la one which must be taken
with the utmost seriousness. The poll
ttco-temperance crusade, with Its new
life and energy, constitutes the most
startling development In Southern poll,
tics today. The advocates of compul
sory abstinence are growing more pow
erful day by day. The movement Is
not so much against the consumption
of whisky and other .alcoholic bev
erages as against saloons, rum shops,
bars, and the like.
The average American Is In the habit
of regarding Kentucky, Tennessee, the
Carolina., and, In fact, most of the
other Southern states, as distinguished
fur the production and consumption
of liquor. It Is interesting, in view
of this, to have attention directed to
the fact that In the state of Kentucky
ninety out of one hundred and nine
teen counties are "no license.” That
is to say, in none of the ninety coun
ties will be granted a license to sell
liquor. The whole state of Tennessee
is "dry,” save for the cities of Mem
phis, Nashville and Chattanooga. In
the “dry” districts no alcoholic bev
erage may be bought—not even a
Class of beer or claret with dinner.
Cross-Roads Saloons.
The state of Texas Is said to con
tain ninety counties that have 'abol
ished saloons. North Carolina, Mis
sissippi, and other states of the South
tell the same story. Anybody may
have spirituous beverages sent to him
In uny of the “dry" districts; but
throughout these regions every saloon
has been extirpated. One may travel
up and down the rural parts of Ken
tucky and Tennessee without finding
one bar or cross-roads saloon such as
may be found In profusion through
out, say. New York, New Jersey, or
Pennsylvania.
It is only within the last few years
that the new movement has become
important. It developed in the same
way In each state. -
I,et us look at the history of the anti-
saloon crusade In Kentucky nnd Ten
nessee—Kentucky, In which the dis
tilling of liquor is an important indus
try, and Tennessee, where the fight
Imlirnnn fhn "waU" nnrl tho “drVS" WAS
Memphis is slated for one next winter.
What the Effect Has Been.
It is relevant to consider at this stage
tvhat effect the abolition of the saloon
has had on those communities which
have voted no license. Foie it has al
ways been the contention of those
advocating prohibition that the, Issue Is
not alone moral, but economic. The
Anti-Saloon League has arrayed facts
and figures to support Its claim that
between the “wets" and the "drys" was
a most bitter one. This was especially
so over the passage of the so-called
Adams law.
Almost the entire state of Tennes
sec has banished the saloon. The only
exceptions are the large cities. Mem
phis, Chattanooga and Nashville. The
four Kentucky counties In which liq
uor may generally be sold are Jeffer
son, Meade, Kenton and Campbell.
There arc dry precincts even in these.
The question of license prior to June,
1906. was voted for by precinct In
Kentucky, nnd there are several of the
counties not entirely dry In which from
one to five and six precincts allow sa
loons. A new county unit law will
tend to do away with the latter.
Causes of No-Llcense Victories.
The causes leading to the no-llcense
victories are many and varied. Some
are of a strictly local character, too
much so to find space here. No doubt
the agitations which havo been carried
on by the temperance societies as well
as by many of the clergy for years have
played no minor part In the spread of
the movement. Much of this senti
ment was utilized by the Anti-Saloon
League. Thnt organlzatlo'n was formed
In 1893. It has since spread out until
it now has branches in every state and
terrltoi'y throughout the country. One
special cause for the spread of the no-
llcense movement in the South Is the
great number of crimes committed by
drunken negroes. As authority forthls
proposition; reference Is made to Bon-
fort s Wine and Spirit Circular of April
10. which declares; "There Is no doubt
that the saloon as It Is conducted In
the South, especially the saloon patron
ized by negroes, is a menace to public
order nnd decency.”
That crimes of both races committed
while under the Influence of liquor have
helped along the no-llcense movement
goes without saying. Two cases In
point may illustrate this better. One,
a murder In Logan county, Kentucky,
In which four men were Implicated.
The trial cost the tax-payers nearly
*50,000. A shooting scrape In Bowling
Green Just before last Christmas, which
terrorized the whole town. Inspired a
call for a local option election with
the object, of course, of ridding the
place of the saloons. Religious re
vivals, of which there are plenty in the
South, have also helped the no-llcense
sentiment. Kentucky had a monster
revival at Paducah last winter, and
disappears. There Is the old-time the
ory for this, of course, that In no-
llcense towns the money which went
for drink Is saved and eventually put
to a better use. The liquor interests
argue, of course, that all this depends
upon whether the town Is really dry;
that a man in Tennessee, for example,
can spend more money for liquor if by
reason of Utlng In a no-llcense town
he Is obliged to patronize "the mail
order houses" of Nashville and .buy
whisky by the bottle than if he went
into a saloon and bought a drink. By
reason of this the liquor dealers de
clare that more drunkenness exists.
The fact should also be noted that
throughout the South the largest and
most Important cities, such os Louis
ville, Memphis, Atlanta and others, are
’wet."
The writer undertook In the course
of his work to make a comparison in
point of prosperity between the license
and no-llcense sections. The task was
found to be a most difficult one.
In Tennessee the three largest and
most Important cities retain the sa
loon, while the .rest of the state is
"dry." The "dry” districts Include such
growing cities as Knoxville and
Brownsville and rural communities
jvhlch are being rapidly developed.
8ome Interesting Figures.
The following comparison from The
Knoxville Sentinel has been widely
quoted by the Aptl-Saloon League, and
is being circulated by that organiza
tion as a campaign document;
WITH SALOONS.
(Criminal Record, Two Years, 1901-2.)
Criminal costs *5,074.76
Jail record, one month. Feb
ruary, 1903; commitments
for public drunkenness ....
Number cases, in criminal
court, 2 years, 1901-2 236
City school , 7,000.00
Population, 1903, estimate .. 3,500
WITHOUT SALOONS.
(Criminal Record, Two Years, 1904-5.)
Criminal costs *2,076.21
Jail record, 3 years, 9 months,
'1903-7; commitments for
public drunkenness
Number of cases 1904, two
years 105
City school 8,500.00
Population 1906, estimate 6,000
In the Larger Cities.
Kentucky as well as Tennessee pre
sents the situation of the larger and
more Important cities like Louisville
and Frankfort still having the saloon.
The Anti-Saloon League claims, how
ever, that there can bo no question of
the prosperity of a material sort of aU
the "dry” territory as compared with
the "wet” districts. The cities of Dan
ville, Glasgow, Franklin and Mayfield
have voted no license for twenty-five
years. Glasgow, with a population of
less than 3,000, has five banks in suc
cessful operation. For the further pur
pose of bringing out that the "dry"
territory has prospered more than the
“wet,” that from 1890 to 1900, three
cities, two of them being Somerset and
Elizabethtown. lost In population ac
cording to the census reports. The
two have voted dry since. As an Il
lustration to show thnt banishing the
saloon does not add additional burdens
to the taxpayer through the reduction
In revenue, the case of Hodgenvllle,
near the farm on which Abraham Lin
coln was born. Is cited. When the place
voted dry, three years ago, the saloons
were bringing In a revenue of *1,600
a year. The town was heavily in debt
and had Just begun the construction
of a fine sohool building. Hodgenvllle
Is now out of debt, with a surplus In
the treasury besides. Just how no li
cense accomplished this we are not
told.. The only solution Is that no It-
('on«o miiNt hnva nddad fit tha ra.

broadened until under what Is known as
the present Adams law by popular vote
a town or city now Incorporated may
vote to surrender Its present charter
and re-lncorporate under a charter pro
hibiting saloons. One vote accom
plishes this result.
The Inception of the dry campaign In
Kentucky Is hard to trace. Glasgow
was probably the first dry town of any
size. Various local option laws had
been used, but up to June, 1906, only
precinct local option was in effect In
the state. That year the Interdenomi
national Local Option Committee was
organized by the anti-saloon element.
Its first campaign was for local option
by the counties instead of the precincts.
This organization became the Ken
tucky Antl-Sa!o6n League In 1905.
No Longer Local Question.
Prohibition Is ceasing to be a local
question. It has taken on a’ political
aspect in Kentucky, Tennessee and
other Southern states, and the fact
may also be recalled that It was due
somewhat to the temperance Issue that
Myron T. Herrick was defeated for re-
election for governor of Ohio and the
first Democrat choeen to that office
since James E. Campbell defeated Jo
seph Benson Foraker back In 1889/
The time, therefore, seems to be rapid
ly approaching when both the Demo
cratic and Republican parties will have
to take their stand on the subject. It
may not be In 1908, for the tariff and
the trusts, economic problems that go
to the means of our livelihood, natural
ly overshadow the question of social
order; but that 1912 or 1916 may see
the Issue of prohibition or the limita
tion of the safe of Intoxicating liquors
as the subject of planks in the national
platforms of both parties Is by no
means Improbable. If the Democrats
and Republicans In the states already
named have been forced to see the ne
cessity of the thing, who shall deny that
the Issue Is not on the way to become a
national one? The liquor Interests are
alive to the situation. They realize
that the issue Is no longer a local one,
confined to obscure communities and
therefore not costly. As a result, they
have determined to fight back with
much the same weapons as those of the
Anti-Saloon League—namely, the bal
lot and the pen. *
The liquor interests charge that up to
the present time they have not received
a square deal so far as the discussion
Is concerned; that the great mass of
people who have gone to the poll6 and
voted the saloons out of existence have
never read their side of the case, arti
cles of such a nature being confined In
the main to medical journals and the
like.
