As a daily reader Of your paper, have

positien and urge your objections, ought, in my

ard well-thinking portion Of the community. Yet,
40 my own experience and observation, am con

though I am compelled to admire your frsnknes. -
The advocates Of total abstinence have been labor

for ms are accomplished.
think Temperance people generally desire to read
when convinced thai the sale and use Of alcoholic
beverages are blessing, trust they will readily
embrace your doctrine and carry out in practics
your SUGGESTIONS
Il will conclude by propounding few practical
questions. Has the State Legislature the power to
enact law TO regulate the sale Of alcoholic drinks
Has 1t the power to say that ten dollars shall be
given for privilege to vend alcoholic and other In
tOxlcatDR beverages And II so, why not ten ftos.
sand dollsrsi IhOps and trust that with your usual
frankness you will respond to these inquiries one
more request and have done. In your paper OF
this morning noticed communication puTporting
TO have been written in the State of Name which
speaks OF the bad results Of the law In that State
Now, as the writers on behalf OF the beneficial work
inss Of the law do not withhold their names from

be observed by the opponents Of the law, that your
readers may know who the eRlishtners of public
sentiment are, and where they belong and above
