pracced the virtues of Temperance in its sense.
We have just CHANGED article in the Southern
Press, which gives views far better than could
have expressed them. Here it is:
"Of late years. temperance, as 1t IS called, alb
stinence from all alcoholic and fermented liquids
has become a fashionable virtue. Societies have
been formed, pledges made and prescription proclaim
ed against all use, however moderate. of beverages
which, in excess, will intoxicate Those engaged in
this movement assume the character of moral reform
ers, although they admit into such association the
tares of every other vice. But this might be excus.
ed, provided they confined themselves to the expedi-
ents of moral suasion and voluntary sef-restraint
The tendency, however, has occasionally been deve-
oped of design to enforce, by political power and
by legislation, conformity this solitary fragment
of moral code In the State of Maine, the sale of
intoxicating liquors has been positively prohibited,
under the penalty of con6scation, and in New York,
Ohio, and other Staes comprehensive movement is
going on for the same purpose. law like this is a
sumptuary law. If it can be justified why not pre-
scribe by law the costume of the people, If i: were
reduced to uniform standard of coarseness and SIM
pcity, a vast amount of money would be saved, ex.
iravaganc would be prevented, and poverty, and
want, and fraud, and crime, averted. Why not re-

Why not regulate Diet and restore black porrdge

Now sumptuary regulations enforced on the

properly-on the ground that they morally infe-

numerical majority in State to impose such restraints
minority of political social equals, is to in
force of the essential conditions Of slavery Such
is the modern transcendental idea of liberty and
equality
As for success in any such attempt, it is essential

the assumption of great moral decline in the habits
of the people, and the necessity of reform and it be-
trays the incapacity of the people to perceive or
