Editors OF the Register.
In your issue OF April 9th, there ape
peared an article signed Csudor.
Caudor has undertaken to criticise
my article signed Justice"
Mr.. Caudor, as the writer calls him.
cell, says, to begin with, Justice tells as
the war still RACES between the ladies
aud slaves of King Alcohol. Then
Capdor says, true, the war does still
rage aud will continue to rage with re-
doubled fury until temperance or in-
tenn perance completely triumphs.
Now, Mr.. Candor. l don't think in
temperace will ever completely triumph
But think temperance will, but not by
the ways and means used at present 10
accomplish it.
Candor says the conhict ls doing
great good. Witness the result in near
" all the smaller villages and county
seats in Ohio, in which the effort has
been made. Friends it may be as Mr..
Candor says in regard TO Ohio, but
what Ohio does is not TO be put up as
an example to be followed by other
States. 1t was an easy matter Tor the
people OF Ohio TO accomplish their end
because the law was on their side.
But here in West Virginia the
law grants license to men and women
to sell Intoxicating liquors, and there
fore the end for which the women work
will not be go easily accomplished here
as in OHIO.
When man pays q revenue on q
thing, and is granted license to sell it
have the people (while the law protects
that msp) any right to interfere with
HE business? No! Caudor further
states that there has been considerable
reduction OF internal revenue since thu
crusade was commenced Statistics
are more reliable than assertions
This admit. But even ifyou do, to
all appearance. stop every saloon, hy
and by you will see one pop up here
another there, and after time the rev.
enue vii! be greater than ever. and oul
country will be nearer to ruin thar
ever.
Csndor repeats another portion o
nv article, which will defend withou
repeating it, as space will not permit.
How. Mr. Csndor, do you expect tt
remove the ,emptatiou2 By stree
praying by holding meetings and hear
iug our hest men, as you call them
taik? Ii this lie the way, have grea
fear that you will fail Mr.. Caudo'
repeats another passage OF my
piece, which is as iollowe
I'll ladies must do mems work let then
get Congress to stop the manufacture
OF intoxicating liquors"
Then, Mr.. Csndor says, II have ye
to learu tnat the male sex holds an,
exclusive charter Tor iuaugurating, &c.
Mr.. Cspdor, who makes our laws
the male or female ? By which sex ar
our Offices filled ? The male. Then
Judge they have the right to make ap,
needed reforms that may seem to then
propar2
say it is not proper for the womel
10 lead 10 this or any other pstiona
cause until they become voters and la'
makers. 10 many cases they are th
sufferers, but they caused the curse Il
fall on them, by their own desire 70 o.
pear in style, They must have wine o.
the table; the children taste it aod BY
a. d-by they are outcssts and drunk
ards, and who is TO blame2
, The woman who would place win
beio-e her children to drink, deserve
1 to suffer. lie; charity begin At hom
, and let the women save their own pee
PIE before they try 10 save others.
Mr.. Csndor, suppose band oil me
should 60 to the saloons and sing an
| pray for the keepers 10 depart from th
evil way, what would the public thin
Of them? Would they not be called
mob iresspassipg where they have n
5 right? Yes Therefore it is pothin
bat the skirts which protect the wome
from the hatred oil the public.
II you would destroy tree do NJ
v begin by Looping of twigs and branch'
q but tear i; out By the roots. Thi
Mr.. Candor admits 10 very logical. bV
. in this case impractical. He says
, lop OF sll the branches or to girdle ii
d tree, kills it quite efftctually .as 10 q
e root il, aud Gays this is just what II
j. women are doing.
- Mr.. Capdor, may they not miss sou
of the branches, aud may the branch
: not grow strong and strengthen Il
g trunk? Yes; aud this will be Il
0 case. But If you uproot it the truu
, will need no strength, and the branch
-. will vitber aud die.
