Tti.i National License League, with
headquarters at Louisville. Ky , has Is
sued the following address, copies of
which are being sent to every voter in
the -country:
To the People of the United tSattfs:
In urging the passage of sumptuary
laws the professional prohibitionist,
and those who have fallen under the
spell of his fervid oratory picture the
evils of inebriety and point to the
licensed saloons .as a dire menace to
society.
Conceding the indisputable fact that
the lawless saloon Is a fruitful source
of human w retchedness, let us ponder
over the proposed cure prohibition.
Assume that in a given community
the saloon has just been abolished.
What degree of fulfillment of the glo-
rious prophecies of the prohibitionist
has the community n right to expect,
judging from the experience of other
communities in recent and more re-
mote times? 11 may be taken for
granted that President Eliot, of Har-
vard University, would not express
himself on such an Important ques-
tion unless he had studied the matter
thoroughly. . President Bliot says:
"There has been concurrent evil of
prohibitory legislation. The efforts
to enforce it during forty years have
had some unlooked-for effects on pub-
lic respect for courts. Judicial pro-
ceeding, oaths and laws In general.
The public /has seen law defied, a
whole generation of habitual law-
breakers schooled in evasion and
shamelessness. courts ineffective
through fluctuations of policy, delays,
perjuries, negllgencles and other mis-
carriages of justice, officers of the law
double faced and mercenary, legisla-
tors timid and insincere, candidates
for office hyiKirritieal and truckling,
and office-holders unfaithful to pledges
and reasonable public expectation.
Through an agitation which has al-
ways had a moral end. these immorali-
ties have been developed and made
conspicuous."
Abraham Lincoln expressed his
view* on the subject as follows:
■'ProhibitIon will work great Injury
lo the cause of temperance. It j* a
species of intemperance within itself,
for it goes beyond the bounds of rea
son In that it attempts to control a
man's appetite by legislation, and in
making crimes out of things that are
not crimes
A prohibition law strikes a blow at
the very principles on which our gov-
ernment was founded."
General U S. Grant was opposed to
prohibition and gave the following
example, to illustrate his views of the
matter: . . v
“I know from my own experience
that, when 1 was at West Point the
fact that tobacco in every form was
prohibited, and the mere possession
of the weed severely punished, made
a majority of the cadets, myself in-
cluded. try to acquire the habit of
using It.”
General Grant died of a cancer
caused by excessive smoking: the re-
sult of a habit cultivated because of a
prohibitory rule.
John Quincy Adams said:
‘'Self-govertiment, is the foundation
of all our political and social institu-
tions and it is by self-government
alone that the law of temperance can
lie enforced. Seek not to enforce upon
your brother by legislative enactments
that virtue which he can possess only
of his own free*-will.”
Thomas Jefferson laid down the
following principles:
No uian has a natural right to com-
mit aggression on the equal rights cf
another: and this is ail from which
and this Is all the laws ought to en-
force on him. When the laws have de-
clared and enforced all this they have
fulfilled their functions ahd the idea is
quite unfounded that on entering Into
society we give up any natural
right.”
Jefferson Davis spoke of prohibition
in the following terms:
"Our sires rejected ali such preten-
sions, their system being: 'Govern-
ment by the people for the people,
resting on natural, unalienable rights.'
A'ou have already provision for local
prohibit ion. if it has proved the
wooden horse in which a disguised en-
emy to state sovereignty as the guar-
dian of individual liberty was Intro-
duced. let it tie a warning that the
progressive march would probably tie
from village to stale and from state to
United States and result In govern-
mental supervision and paternity In-
stead of the liberty the heroes of 177(1
left as a legacy to their posterity."
Judging from the utterances of
these men the community has little
to hope for in the way of wise or hon-
est government under prohibition.
What can it reasonably hope for in
l he matter of sobriety following the
abolition of the licensed sale ,of
liquor? The United States census
bureau has tabulated the number of
deaths attributed to drunkenness In
the various states. TheTollowlng fig-
ures tell the number of such deaths
for each 100,000 of population for the
year 1900 (the last census):
Prohibition States.
Maine .........................2:1G
New Hampshire ...............2:18
Vermont
2:20
Alabama
Indiana.......
Kentucky ......
Missouri.....
Nebraska ......
North Carolina
Oregon........
Texas ........
Tennessee ....
West Virginia
License States.
The average of deaths in the prohi-
bition states is 2:41 and in the license
states It is 1:113. No encouragement
Is offered hero for the hope that prohi-
bition will decrease Inebriety.
Is there any ground for the heller
lluu abolishing the saloon lessens the
number of liquor dealers? Reference
lo the records of the United States
commissioner of internal revenue will
allow the number of retail liquor li-
censes In the various states in the
following, proportions to population in
1905:
Prohibition States.
Kansas—1 license for every 428 of
population.
Maine—X license for every 661 of
population
North Dakota—1 license for every
241 of population.
License States.
Arkansas—1 for every 921.
Alabama—1 for every 832.
Delaware—1 for every 421.
Florida—1 for every 566.
Georgia—1 for every 121. 7
Kentucky—1 for every 494.
Massachusetts—1 for every 588.
Mississippi—1 for every 2913.
Missouri—1 for every 305.
Nebraska—1 for every 411.
New Hampshire—1 for every 385.
North Carolina—1 for every 2260.
Oklahoma—l for every 350
South Dakota—1 for eevry 302.
Texas—1 for every 927.
Virginia—1 for every 794.
Vermont—1 for every 970.
West Virginia—1 for every 43S.
In the three prohibition states
named the average is one liquor deal-
er for eevry till of population. Accord-
ing to these figures, if Kentucky
should become a prohibition states
theer would lie a liquor dealer for
every 346 of population instead of one
for every 494 of population as under
the license system. The same law of
i proportion would increase the death
! rate ifrom alcoholism) from 1 68 to
j.to 2.48 for every 100.090 of popula-
tion if prohibition should be adopted
in Kentucky. The government's cen-
sus reports show that in the license
states of Alabama. Indiana. Kentucky.
Missouri .Nebraska, Oregon, Texas.
Tennessee. West Virginia the death
; rate from alcoholism decreased 34 per
' cent in ihe twenty years prior to 1909.
1 The same reports show that in th«
that not only is the number of liquor
dealers Increased under prohibition,
but that the fatal inebriety is also
increased.
What has the community to hope
for in the way of increased prosper-
ity? Increase- In prosperity may be
gauged by the increase in population.
Maine is the oldest prohibition state.
Its population in 1860 was 21.2 to the
square mile; thirty years later it was
21.7. Kansas is a typical phobition
state. From 1890 to 1900 its popula-
tion increased from 1,427,095 to 1,470,-
495; between 1888 and 1890 the popu-
lation of this fertile state decreased
90,000. Such figures blight the hope
of financial advanceemnt.
What hope is there for fulfillment ot
the promise of peace and good tle-
meanor under prohibition?
The St. Paul Record, a large and in-
fluential newspaper, has compiled tht
jail records of the state of Maine and
of an area in Minnesota la license
state) equal in territory and popula-
tion. The jail record for 1907 is as
follows:
In Maine county jails, 5769.
In Minnesota county jails, 1489.
Drunks in Maine jails, 2934.
Drunks in Minnesota jails, 605.
Blind piggers (illicit s ellers)
Maine jails, 441.
Blind piggers (illicit sellers) in Min-
nesota jails, 25.
Women in Maine jails, 207.
AViomen in Minnesota jails. 49.
Maine pays for jailbirds' board, $50,-
000.
Minnesota pays for jailbirds' board
$18,000.
Maine's license revenue, nothing .
Minnesota's license revenue, $730,-
000.
In summing up we find that prohibi-
tion has been denounced by the ablest
statesmen of America.
That, it Increases the number of li-
quor dealers.
That it Increases the number of
deaths from drunkenness.
That it increases the amount ot
crime.
That it stagnates the state and pre-
vents prosperity and normal growth
In population.
That it brings the law into contempt
and corrupts public servants.
That it deprives the state of large
revenue without conferring any bene-
fit. to offset the loss.
Having started out with the admis-
sion that the present system is de-
fective. and having failed to find any
hope of relief by means of prohibition,
the question arises, What is to be
done?
The National Model License League
suggests a solution that should appeal
to every well regulated mind.
The solution is based on knowledge
of human nature. Give the retail li-
quor dealer a license free from the
influence of politics and make the life
of a license dependent on the obed-
ience of the holder to all of the laws
of society. If the license holder vio-
lates the laws, take away his license
by means of a law so framed that the
court has no choice, but to suspend
the license upon the retailer’s first con-
viction of any offense and to cancel
it niton second conviction. Such a
law would make it more profitable to
obey ihan to disobey the law and the
law- would be obeyed. Violation ot
the law is more profitable than obed-
ience under the present system in
many states, and is far more so under
prohibition.
BUENO.
the law ought to restrain him: every I same period of time the death rate
man is under the natural duty of coti- j from alcoholism in the prohibition

The Last Stop.
One cold, winter morning a man of
tall and angular build was walking
down a steep hill at a quick pace. A
piece of ice under the snow caused
him to lose control of his feet; he be-
gan to slide and was unable to stop
At a crossing half way down he en-
countered a large, heavy woman. The
meeting was sudden, and before either
realised it a collision ensued and both
were sliding down hill, the man under-
neath, the fat woman on top. When
the bottom was reached .and the wo- j
man was trying to recover her breath .
and her feet, these faint words were :
borne to her ear: Pardon me. mad-’
am, but will have to ge.t off here. This
is as far as 1 go." !
tips of Mexican waiters.
In Mexico the Tip Often Equals the
Value of Food Consumed.
In very few countries can “mese-
ros” or restaurant waiters make bet-
ter profits than In Mexico, especially
in the capital city, because here the
"Upping mania" is so extensive that
very frequently the amount of the
tip given to the waiter amounts to
almost the value of the food con-
sumed.
Mexicans in general are not thrifty,
they do not seem to appreciate the
value of the almighty dollar, and throw
money right and left, without ever
thinking how much they have spent
during the day and how much their
revenue has been. "Manana sera otro
dia" (tomorrow will be another day)
they think, and they trust that "man-
ana" they will have as much money
lo spend as they had the day be-
fore. Where It will come from, one
does not know, hut it is sure to come.
Added to this is the fact that going
to a restaurant and not giving a sub-
stantial tip to the waiter is regarded
as nieap conduct. Those who give no
tips, or give very small ones, are
called “gorones," while those who
throw on the dining table a tip of
$1 or $2 are considered "muy esplen-
didos." and these, upon entering res-
taurants, are heartily welcomed by ail
waiters and escorted to the. best ta-
bles. On the contrary, when somebody
has gained the reputation of "gorron,"
he can go to a table and sit for half
an hour, waiting for a waiter who is
willing to make the sacrifice of at-
tending him. To these “gorrones"
dishes ordered are served at inter-
vals of fifteen or more minutes, al-
ways alleging that the “cocinera esta
muy estrasada” (the cook is far be-
hind the time), so that the time lost
during an ordinary dinner is worth
much more money than the tip that
the mesero expected.
But, in fact, “meseros” are not to
be blamed, to some extent, for this,
in most restaurants of the city, with
the exception of the first-class ones,
wallers receive no salary at all from
their employers, and work only with
the expectation of receiving good Ups
from their clients.
In other restaurants they even have
to pay to work, for they aro aware
of the “tipping mania” of the Mexi-
cans, and are sure that they will
make out of tips money enough to pay
the restaurant owner for the privilege
to be admitted as mesero, afid still
obtain a good profit.
There is in the city but one hotel
and restaurant that has its own wait-
ers. who receive a salary of from
$3.50 to $5 per day, and are not al-
lowed under any circumstances to ac-
cept tips; neither are they allowed
to go to work for other establish- j
ments during the resting hours or
their days off. This hotel furnishes !
its waiters their clothes and meals,
so that the salary they receive is a
net daily profit.
Other high-class restaurants also j
have their own waiters, furnish them j
their meals and clothes, but they pay j
them only 40 cents per day and allow i
them to receive tips.
The second and third-class eating |
houses n<5t only do not pay their wait-1
ers, but the latter, in many cases,]
have to pay their employers. It is
here that the “gorrones” always re- j
ceive the most unhearty welcome and ;
the most disagreeable "farewell," be- ’
cause very frequently meseros who j.
have not been tipped address rather
tnsulting remarks to the customer. j
For great banquets the chefs always j
select the best known waiters of the !
city, paying them from $16 to $20
for their work, but out of this they
have to pay the rent of the fala suit,
which is $5 per day. These waiters
are instructed not to accept a Up;
that he who does it will never again
be called to serve at similar banquets.
The National Palace always has its
staff of waiters, especially for the
great banquets given either at. the
palace, at. the city hall, or at an-
other place on the occasion of official
entertainments. When there are no
banquets, these men work as “orde-
nanzas” in the interior of the National
Palace.
It is estimated that there are in the
city some 500 meseros working in first,
second and third class restaurants.
Most of them belong to a mutualistic
society called "Sociedad Mutualisto de
Meseros," the honorary president ot
which is President Diaz.
The society has progressed consid-
erably during the past few years, and
recently it acquired a nice building
on Calle la Soledad, where all ses-
sions are held every two weeks.
Members of the society have to pay
a fee of $1.50 per month. When one
falls sick or is out of employment, the
society provides for his assistance and
support. If sick he receives from
$2 to $3 per day; if out of employment,
$1.50 per day, during-a term of two
months. In the latter case, all mese-
ros actively work to secure a position
for the unemployed brother.
If it happens that a member of the'
society dies, his funeral expenses are
met by his brothers, and his family
receives a donation of from $100 to
$1,000, according to the length of time

The Big Battle.
Not long ago King Edward was vis-
iting a country house near the scene
of one of Cromwell's historic battles.
Strolling out one day by himself, he
met. the village blacksmith returning
from a shoeing expedition.
"I say, my good fellow," said his
majesty, genially, "I understand there
was a big battle fought somewhere
about here?"
"Well-er,” stammered the black-
smith, recognizing the king, “I did
have a round with Bill, the Potman,
but I didn't know your majesty had
heard of it."
Pauline Lucca, the formerly well-
known Austrian singer, died last
week in Vienna of cancer. She was
born in 1841.
