Abstract

ABSTRACT In 1915, responding to significant prohibitionist agitation, the provincial government of Saskatchewan abolished private liquor sales and replaced them with a system of government-run dispensaries. Prior to Saskatchewan’s adoption of a state liquor dispensary system, the model had been tried only once on such a scale in North America, in South Carolina, which abandoned it in 1907. Drawing on the details of Saskatchewan’s commission that investigated the South Carolina system, this article argues that the adaptations made to the system in Saskatchewan were due to a combination of political expediency and a widespread belief in the civilizing power of whiteness and Canadian educational and legal institutions.

南卡罗来纳委员会和萨斯喀彻温省酒水药房的建立，1915年

1915年，萨斯喀彻温省政府响应禁酒运动，废除了私人酒类销售，代之以政府经营的药房系统。在萨斯喀彻温省采用州酒配给系统之前，这种模式只在北美的南卡罗来纳州进行过一次如此大规模的尝试，南卡罗来纳州于1907年放弃了这种模式。根据萨斯喀彻温省委员会调查南卡罗来纳制度的细节，本文认为，萨斯喀彻温省对该制度的适应是由于政治上的权宜，以及对白人文明力量和加拿大教育和法律制度的普遍信念的结合。
