Thus things went on Lil! 1840 or 1850. when the Sons of Temperance were organized, but even in 1880 I used tobe afraid todriveonthe road between 7 and 9 at. night withâ€" in 15 milw of Bellevilleâ€"Iwas living there then-for fear of being run over by the racing teams of the groggy wood-drawers. When meeting them, one did well to get shelter in a fence comer. Things gradually improved until the Scott act. From Trenton to Georgian Bayâ€"over a. tract twice the size of the German principalitia that, law was adopted. It was a failure, and on that account many think prohibition would‘be a. failure. After the first two or three months of it liquor was sold about as open- 13; as it is toâ€"day, and under worse conditions. There was a. very satura 111111;: of whisky. Perjury was comâ€" mon. Men who paid money to carry the Scott Act, would not inform on those who violated it. Tn those days the ‘rg of nearly all the churches co: ~2eddrinking. Those of the Methodis, 'momination alone condemned it- People who advocated prohibition “0343 very un- popular. It may startle some people for me to express my conviction that the Scott Act failed for lack of money; The fines went half to the informer and half to the government. As a. result there was nothing left to the municipalities. Hence, there was no money to prosecute with. I was visitinginasectionoftho United States at one time. where prohibition law was in force. I was shown one place in which liquor was still sold. In it a, small keg sat on a; chair, on top of it was a. tumbler and at the tap another. That con- stituted the liquor-selling outfit of that part of the country. In that state the temperance people had formed a. league, subscribed money and carried on prosecutions vigorous- ly. Once they got five or six hotel- men fined for $1000 each. They then went to these men and said : "If you will stop selling liQuor we will not collect more than $100 of the fineâ€" enough to pay expenses 0! the prose- cution.” All agreed but two, and these soon went to jail, broke out and were 'being pursued for that of- TREATING SYSTEI IS BAD I would have suggested such a.
