Prohibition.

Ed. Register-
prohibition" is becoming a subject
of general dicourse among the people
of Iron county; and we judge from the
expression of the members of the Leg
islature given by their vote on the pro-
hibition question, that the people of the
whole State are becoming thoroughly
aroused on the temperance question.
We are glad to know that our State
is SO nearly moral-at least, near
enough to dispute ground with the
friends Of intemperance. But it is sad
to think that Iron county, one of the
foremost counties of Southeast Missou-
ri in point of intellect. enterprise, &C.,
should not at least be represented
among those who were striving to
drive the monster intemperance from
our State.
But the intemperancs cause has been
defeated at the State capital-and why?
Was it because the making and selling
of intoxicating liquor in any way bene-
fetal to society? Surely not; because
we find by investigating tie matter,
that the evil of intemperance causes
about eighty times as many deaths as
the scourge of war; and we may safely
say that it causes about one-tenth of
the mortality of the whole world, and
more than that in the State of Missouri.
Then it can not be that those who
oppose prohibition law are afraid of

It causes forty-three out Of forty-four
of the murder cases reported from the
criminal courts. surely the honorable
legislators who oppose a prohibition
law are not afraid the criminal docket
will.be short.
1t Is said that prohibition does not
prohibit. would ask the gentlemen
who use this argument to go to the
records of the court, and to search the
criminal docket, and tell me il the law
prohibiting murder, theft, &C.. prohib-
its the perpetration Of those crimes?
Now clear your brain Of the damning
influence of ofintoxicating liquor and take
one sober and unbiased view Of the sub
ject, and answer the question, Can not
a law prohibiting the making and SELL
ing of intoxicating liquor be a. easily
enforced as any other law Of the GRIM
inal code? The only trouble, I think,
will be to get sober men in Office, who
