battle, It will be an evil day for the
liauor sellers whenever it is fairly
joined.
Governor Crittenden has said thathe
will lend all the influence of the execu-
tive Office to enforce the laws as they
exist. This is well. OF the wisdom of
the laws we have no doubt. Those
who have, may demonstrate the popular
feeling upon the subject by an effort
to secure their repeal, or they may take
the Intelligencer's word for it, that it
would be quite as easy to turn the
course Of the Niagara river back to Lake
Erie as to wipe them from the statute
books. Da5. aJI
1t is not necessary Or profitable to
discuss theories. Here are facts. Mis-
souri, is not controlled by the drinking
part of the population of its cities. If
their. demands are for good, good; If
they are for evil they will 60 unheeded.
The conservative, moral, simple, sober,
rural populations say, "sThus far shalt
thou go and no farther" The massesin
these populations say that the present
laws are good enoughifthey r enforc-
ed, but unless we mistake them and we
do not think we do they are in no mood
to have the laws disregarded, or to per-
NIT the indiscriminate sale of intoxica-
ting liquors. IF they r met half way
we believe all will be peace and barmo-
ny, and that a better and better feeling
will prevail as existing laws work out
their very certain beneficial results, but
If they are met with opposition and
rancor there will most certainly be
war. If that war does come 1t will end
in wiping out the liquor business as a
legitimate business in Missouri. We
should regret to see this done as we do
not believe in the efficacy of prohibi-
ton, but as a faithful chronicler of the
feelings of the people as we'll as of eur
rent facts we state what we believe to
