Prohibition.
Kr. Editor
As a friend of prohibition I
would like for tho many readers of
your good paper to consider the
following points, which are SO often
urged as reasons aginst it:
/. BY some it is said the law
would be good thing if it were
certain that it would be executed,
but they cannot be persuaded that
it can be carried out. To this, we
reply. No law is perfectly and
kberall executed and further, we
have the same officers of the law
to execute this, and therefore the
same guaranty that we have as to
other laws, and If we will not have
this for such reason, neither should
we have any law at all.
O.. But the most popular obiec>
tioE we have urged is, that it
would strike too much at the liberty
of the people.
In reply, we may say that all
laws strikes at the liberty of the
individual which may be eexercised
to the too great harm of the pub :
lie generally. AS citizens Of a
great government we surrender
our personal liberty to the CON-
monwealth for our protection of
it-for our security and safety.
Look. for instance, at adultery.
Under the theory or the law God
gave to Israel by Moses, the ad ul-
terer and adulteress were ston cd to
death. Our law lays a heavy
penalty on adultery when the fact

The custom that the papers have OF
printing the love-letters that are pro-
duced In Court as evidence in breach
of promise cases, would be bad enough
If they would only correct the orthog-
raphy, but they don't. The editor
seems to take q fiendish delight in re-
producing such amatory and damaging
epistles Just as they were written, with
all their imperfections on their head
If tho infatuated lover tells his manor
alta that she is his 'sdeer luv," and he
.'kneeds her evry our" that is the way
it goes into the paper. If he promises
her q s.fr cloake, fir cloake it is. And
il in q hurried and,a a it often proves,
m ~unguarded moment, he alludes to
her as his 'sbctrauthed," the pitiless
proof-reader couldn't be induced to
substitute the conventional way of
spelling that word for . mint of money.
These things are particularly harrow
ing to the father of the incomplete let
terewriter, whose shame at the publica-
ton Of the correspondence is swallow
ed up in his modification that he has
squandered so much money on the
young mans education. The safest
way IS not to write any love-letters, but
II you do, it would be advisable to have
them revised and corrected by some
expert in grammar, photography and
punctuation before passing out OF your
hands, 80 that in case they get into the
newspapers, you will not be set down
as initerate however much you may be
suspected of being a fool.ICincinnai
