undoubtedly knowing to the fact, that the
House OF Representatives appointed COM
mlttee to report upon those petitions, the
majority of whom, said, in effect, that no
doubt rested on their minds in regard to the
constitutlonalltY passing prohibitorv law

visable to enact such a law, until more evil
dence was furnished that such law would
be sustained. The minority of the com

it should become law. believe the above
is the substance of the two reports of the
committees. 1t appears that no advance
action was had on either by the House.
Now it appears to me there is something
wrong in this matter. 1t seems that the
Representatives deemed this a delicate, and
also very important subject to be acted
upon. feel that it is in reality one of the
most important questions ever acted upon
BY any legislative body on earth. Life and
death are at stake. Butwhy do men, when
they are chosen by the freemen, to make
such laws as they deem best for the public
weai,-l ask why do they send back fo1
those same freemen 10 make their own laws ?
This appears 10 be rather an anomaly in
legislation. do not approve OF this mode
OF doing business. If the friends OFTEN,

Time that they were awake. Former Legis.
latures could enact laws to hang a man for
certain crimes, but now, when the question
comes before them, whether they will cease

their neighbors to ruin their families and
