IT of the Indianapolis Journsa:

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Jounsa:
1t requires no gifted genius nor astute
philosopher to see that the time has come
when the power of the liquor traffic must be
broken by the earnest and determined CO.
operation OF the friends of just law and good
government. Either we must stand firm as
a rock and demand righteous law, or we
must pander to the liquor oligarchy. There
is no middle ground. The business is con-
trary to the genius of our liberty-is uncon-
stitutional and un-American. To yield at
this time to the demands of high license
or local option is but to yield all the
hard-fought battles of the past few years
To license it is to overthrow all just law; the
very fact of license being granted yields the
point and acknowledges the question of pro-
hibition to be in accordance with constitu.
tional law. If prohibition be unconstitu-
tional, what right have we to exact a license
for the carrying on of legal business? The
very fact of the Legislature passing laws re-
quiring license presuppuses the right to
prohibit. A new phase has recently been
given to this subject and we are now told to
go to the workers of ruin themselves and
humbly ask them what degree of restriction
they will be pleased to have us adopt We
are to say: 1--WE believe your business is a
piracy on the human race that most of all
the crime and paupeyisaa =f our country
lrise from it, diTectIy or indirectly. But we
acknowledge we cannot suppress il; we con-
less our utter weakness and the futility of
our laws. Now, won't you please take this

Messrs. Randall & Fish, of this CITY, have
just issued an Index TO the American re-
ports, from the First to the Thlrty-eighth in
elusive" The work is by William H. Tram
mel, well-known attorney of Huntington,
and is of character to reflect credit upon its
author. Its purpose is sufficiently indicated
in its title, it being an index of the American
reports by aid of which any question at law
contained in the reports may be readily
found. The arrangement of titles or subjects
is admirable and apparently so comprehen-
sive that even the most obscure cases can be
discovered without effort. For example,
there are seven pages of subheads under the
title action" as many under agency"
twelve pages under cities and towns" fif-
teen under constitutional law" four
teen contract" etc, while at the same
time peculiar cases where there is but one on
a certain topic, are not neglected The book
is put up in law library shape, and will un-
doubtedly have an extensive SALE 1t is in
dispensable to lawyers as great means of
saving time in looking up authority from the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis JouruaI

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis JOuruaE
Allow me to thank you for the courtesy
shown me in the publication of my letters,
and for the fair and candid spirit in which
you have reviewed them. I write not for
controversy, but to give you and the public
clear understanding of the reasons that
prompt us to labor for prohibition, and for
that alone. We do not assume to be the
keepers of the temperance reform, but
merely the vanguard-the skirmsh line of
the great moving army. We freely admit
that there are whole brigades of our army
who aim no higher than regulation
thze with them, for forty years ago we
were there ourselves, and we have faith that
they will advance to our present position
more rapidly than we did for we have opened
the road for them.
There is striking analogy between total
abstinence, as personal virtue and means of
individual sa ETY., and prohibition as a po-
litical virtue and means of public safety.
The temperance reform at first sought only
to regulate the liquor appetite or restrict il
within proper bounds, but we soon learned
that the liquor appetite could not be regu-
lated. The temperance man to-day, who
proposes to restrict himself to three
glasses of whisky day is on the
road that all drunkards have travelled
to their ruin. But we have learned that a
prchibtory law, enacted for himself by each
individual, is the infallible road to absolute
sobriety. Experience has proved the truth
of this position, till it is hardly doubted
So, in regard to the traffic, good and wise
men early saw its evil, but not stopping to
inquire whether the sale of intoxicants is of
any use to the public they thought only OF
-toA. d..
these measures have not in the least abated
the evils of the business. The bulwark of the
traffic to-day is its system of sa
looms and dram-shops, and these are
created and maintained by the
license that was Intended to
