M. BAILEY'S SPEECH.
Mr. J. W. Bailey, of Raleigh,
made a strong, clear cut
of the dispensary question Tues-
day night in the opera house. His
portrayal of the problem of the
drink evil in some of its broader
and less aspects ought to
convince the minds of many who
hitherto have hesitated to support
the dispensary in Greenville.
Mr. Bailey stated at the outset
that he had no apology to make as
an advocate of the dispensary sys-
It is a moral issue, aimed at
the drink evil. The dispensary plan
is not a fight against saloon men,
bat against the terrible evil of
drink now foisted on the country by
the saloon system.
It was made plain that the fight
for a dispensary in Greenville was
hand to hand and man to man only
when the friends of the cause fought
thus was victory over the saloon
forces possible. This battle has
been fought successfully in towns
and cities in North Carolina. It is
a work organized throughout the
state, and needs no apology from its
friends.
The aim of this dispensary system
is high and noble, directing its at-
tack against the greatest and most
alarming of modern sins, the drink
evil.
The dispensary is designed to
each the drink evil by destroying
the saloon system and substituting a
better system in its place.
The evil itself needs no
Everybody sees the terrible
it works. Doctors, ministers,
lawyers, fathers and mothers can
present accumulated evidence that
overwhelms.
This evil, terrible as it is now, is
growing worse. The amount of
liquor consumed in the United
States per capita has doubled in
years. That is to say, while the
population has increased enormous-
the drink evil has not only kept
pace with this increase in population
but doubled in years.
standing all that has been done by
state and national legislation, by
cities and towns, by churches and
temperance organization to suppress
this evil, the evils of the saloon and
havoc played by drink in the
United States has doubled in
years.

Under what system of liquor

indictment against the saloons

Is it not the plain duty of every

Shall we grow used to the sin
Can we take any pride in

The dispensary is a constructive
step, leading to a final solution of
this evil. The evil is put under
control by the system.
By closing at night, by not selling to
boys, nor to anyone
drink evil is checked. Experience
shows this to be true.
In Raleigh during the month of
Jan. 1904, under a dispensary,
