Beeeher, speaking IN the Prohib'tion

county, expressed biz deliberate con-
vjctjon that Temperance could not 10

can morality, virtue OF . regard Tor
the Sabbath BE- brought about by
means Of legislative enactn'enas.
There we're two years In the early
history Of this Territory that there
was practically no law; yet people
were then - orderly, honest aud viz
tuous, considering the newness Of
the country, - they have since t'ee".
There was . time in our history
when, through some blunder In the
codincatiou Of the laws, there was no
law aeaiust adultery; yet people
were ~ decorp,,s In their behavior
and manner Of living ss they
have been since the enactment AZ .
lsw upou that subject. This line ~
arRument b not used TO show that

It b tor people to xrt along without
them. There ie IN unwritten higher
law Of public sentiment. and leg's'ar
tive enactnlemts that are not in con-
sousnce Will, tl,xt law ore worse thpn

The people Of the present genera
ton have come to take these views on
the work Of legislatures, The old
blue laws tnat attempted to regulate
the minutest action Of the iudividu-
d had IN effect the opposite Of the
one intended. The people who
enacted and lived under them were
religious enthusiasts, and sought To
perpetu.ts rules VI action ~ which
they were willing 10 be g"v-

Of the Puritxus to fasien
