West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1881-12-14
Temperance i'm Parkersburg.

We prepared full report of the
Temperance meeting held Sunday
afternoon, 4th inst, at the Baptist
church, for last weeks issue, but
it was crowded out.
1t is perhaps not too late for some
notes Of the meeting to be of in
terest.
The meeting was well attended
showing an active and increased
sentiment in our midst against
the hated enemy of all.
The services were conducted BY
Rev. J. w. Carter, opening with
singing, and prayer by Rev. S. J.
Graham.
The first address was by Rev. W.
C. Snodgrass, who, after expressing
his pleasure in an opportunity to
publicly avow his position on the
question Of temperance and prohi-
bition before the people of Parkers-
burg, proceeded to state a series of
problems which he showed at once
to be very pulling and self-solv-
ing:
FIRsT.-Liquor men insist that
more liquor is sold without license
than with it, and yet bitterly OPP
pose all prohibition. Why?
SEcoND.-In opposing prohibi-
ton, liquor men contend for license,
loudly proclaiming for the strictest
enforcement of the law with the ex-
tremest penalties against violators
Yet, the moment the law is enforced
against them as they demanded,
they raise the cry of persecution.
Wherefore
The speaker related a striking
instance Of this strange problem,
observed by him at Morgantown,
where at one term of court all the
saloonists of the city were driven
out of business, by judicious ap-
plication of the law they had given
bonds to obey, and of the enforce
men. of which, they as usual bitter
ly complained.
THIRD-The revenue problem
why insisted on, when the traffic
costs the State many times as much
money as it receives from it.
FoURTH.-They say, men will
drink, therefore license the traffic
and get the revenue. Then why
not say, men will steal, therefore
license theft and get the revenue?
Why not license the violation of
the Seventh Commandment and
get revenue?
The speaker elaborated all these
problems in most practical way,
and closed with bold denunciation
of the liquor-traffic as sin against
God, against society and ourselves,
and urging an appeal to legal pro-
hibition in aid of moral suasion to
suppress the evil.
Dave D. Johnson favored the
transfer of the system of revenue
from liquor-selling to stealing, sug-
costing that our City Council try
it, and see if they can't regulate the
petty thieving 50 prevalent and an,
noying in our midst. He would
have their licenses hedge the
thieves about with similar restric
tions to those in force against liq-
uor-selling, with resolution to re-
coke if they violated their licenses.
Rev. S. J. Graham talked briefly
and told and incident of a young
man coming to one of his meetings
with a bottle Of whisky in one
pocket and a dozen stolen eggs in
the other He presumed this man
was in favor of license in both lines
of business.
Rev. F. B. Carroll and J. W.
Carter also made short talks, all
practical and to the point
Altogether it was decidedly
practical and pointed meeting.

KILLED ON THE RoAD,-Mr. Greg
DRY was killed on Monday, near
Walkers Station, by the collision
of a truck and hand-car. His body
was brought to the city and buried

Their Notions and Ours.

a great commotion yesterday by de
handing of them the amount of
their corporation licenses which
they claimed they had. He was

They were doubtless like the boy
out hunting, aiming $50 as to hitit

In portions ofthis county trustees
of district schools are paying the
enormous sum of ONE CENT per week
for keeping the house in order,
sweeping the room, building fires,
&c. In some instances where lady
teachers are employed this one cont
business is practiced.-- Gitnaerate.
If that amount were paid to the
aforesaid trustees as salary for
their services to the State we
should say they were enormously
overpaid.
Mason county is getting up quite
reputation for fast horses.---Reg-
aster.
Don't you know that's generally
bad reputation?
The key that winds up many a
mans business is whisky.---Register.
Yes, and saddest of all, at the end
of the business, unlocks the door
of eternal night and shuts the
hopeless bankrupt in.

and will continue to resent discour-
tesies.--Ritchie Democrat.
We do hope our brethren won't
keep Bro. Zevely busy resenting
discourtesies. We want some of his
editorials occasionally.
Saloons in Racine are making
that place a regular hell hole, so we
are informed. They should be
elched.-Ravenswood NeaUs.
That's it. Squelched, not dignified
by license.
Having succeeded, by means of
recent editorial, in aroasing the
mad in some of the presiding elders,
we now propose compromise. Any
elder who will send us good list of
subscribers, say half a dozen, more
or less, will be consi dered as hay
ing sufficiently apologized to us for
getting mad, and we will forthwith
declare we did not mean him.
Come now, let us make up.-Central
Methodist.
That's fair proposition and we
will settle with any of our mad
friends on the same terms.
An exchange thinks the cause of.
temperance will stand poor show,
if a German chemist has discovered,
as he says, how to make brandy
from sawdust. There is not much
chance for temperance preacher
to get in his work when a man can
take his rip-saw and go out and get
drunk on a fence rail-Morgantoaon
Post.
Now we do hope you're not going
to take away the preachers occupa-
ton altogether. While the license
fellows are regulating the set of
the old topers rip-saw, SO that he
can just saw enough brandy to keep
himself fighting drunk, and not
kill him all at once, won't you let
the preacher sit on the other end
of the rail and preach moral sua-
sion at him, provided he don't mix
politics with it?
LET'S SETTLE.-Come to think of
it, while we are about it, we may as
well settle right here that little
"affair Of honor" between the Ga
zette and ourself. In his last num-

Smart Observations.

that the moment an exchange takes
a sensible position in matters rela-
ting to the miserable business Of
liquor-selling, that demoralizes all
progress, corrupts politics, and
makes pandemonium in. society,
with indescribable wretchedness
and woe in homes everywhere, its
apologizing contemporaries are ready
to reach out and parry every thrust
that the champion of right in the
premises may make at the COM
mon foe?
A single instance of the brilliant
sallies of this sort we frequently no
tice in our exchanges, will suffice
here.
The vigorous editorial Of the TEL
egram, which we give in another
column, the Wetzel Messenger copies
with this PREDATORY grunt Of .satis-
faction:
"The following from the Clarks-
burg Telegram indicates that 'prohi-
bition does not prohibit in Clarks
burg"
Now if these same journals that
indulge in these smart observations
would be consistent, and be as free
to direct their intended caustic
against infractions of the laws pro-
hibiting other offenses against NOR
ality, decency and good order, OR
even against the infractions them
selves, that violations of the liquor
laws cause, temperance people
would not have so much cause of
complaint.
We ask: What respectable edi-
tor would be found indulging in
such would-be ironical paragraph
ing upon the commission in his
neighborhood of assault and bat
terry, theft, Sabbath-desecration,
adultery and the like?
Will any of our good brethren,
when a sober man is arrested for
committing any of these crimes,
cry out in the penetrating viru-
lence of their irresistible sarcasm,
"Bah, now! Does prohibition pro-
hibit ?" and thus lend their infu-
ence to detract from the majesty Of
the law prohibiting these crimes,
and bring these just and indispen-
sible statutes into ridicule with
the criminal classes? This, of
course, none will dare do; and yet
when this same man gets drunk ON
whisky sold in violation of law,
(where there is moral sentiment
enough to make its sale unlawfuD
and getting drunk, cuts, shoots,
fights, yells, blasphemes and chases
decent people from the streets, turn
ing town and community into bed
lam, we have brethren who, wink
ing at all this debauching lawless-
ness, are ready to sagely remark,
from their editorial tripods: "All
this would seem to indicate that
prohibition does not prohibit"
We will be pardoned for ven
turing the remark that it would
be more in accordance with the
eternal fitness Of things if these
good brethren would rather indulge
their stentorian voices in condem-
nation of violence and disorder
wherever observed, and drop an oc-
casional word of encouragement
to the officers of the law, and de-
mand the punishment Of violators
of law, the same whether instiga-
ted by licensed or unlicensed whis-
ky.

This interesting portion Of the Land
of Flowers" though it contains one or
two of the Oldest and most important
towns in the State. is at this time, per-
haps, less known and appreciated than
any other portion of Florida. 1t was
better known in a former generation
than at present-in the days of Apalachi-
cola as a cotton port, before the railroads
tapped its resources along the banks of
the Chattahoochee. Since those days
several efforts have been made to connect
it with the middle and eastern portions
of the State by railroad, with
out success; but we are gratiied to note
the removal of the difficulties and the
Frightening prospect of speedy COM
munication with the East, by the con-
struction of the Pensacola and Atlantic
Railroad, connecting Pensacola with
Chattahoochee. We learn through our
Florida exchanges that the surveys are
progressing rapidly. and portions of the
line have already been let out to contrac-
forc
